Henry Cornish Care Centre

My husband who has Alzheimer's attends one day per week for day care. He enjoys his time there and the range of activities he takes part in. The stimulus he receives has made him more communicative. Normally, he seldom initiates conversation. He tells me the staff are very pleasant and helpful, this has been my experience too with those I have dealt with. It is so helpful to me to know that I can leave him in such a caring atmosphere and knowing that he enjoys it.

Being here has proved a very good gap between hospital and home. On the whole the carers have been very good and attentive. I have appreciated the time that the carers have spent talking to me. The food has been ok and there has always been a vegetarian option.

During my regular frequent visits, my Mother frequently comments how carers & wider staff provide consistently dedicated commitment to her ongoing care at the Henry Cornish Care Centre, a fact made more remarkable as she has enjoyed living at Henry Cornish Centre now for many years. I can feel confident in Mums circumstances as Staff will always contact me directly regarding any concerns so that additional support can be available if needed. Mum this year in particular has enjoyed singing groups, chair based exercise classes & creative groups producing various beautiful arts & craft models. Mum loves the gardens & is daily enjoying seeing her roses included in the ever developing private gardens around the care home. Having reached a significant birthday recently, Mum was delighted at all of the advanced work to create a beautiful party room with decorations prepared by the staff who, joined by all the residents & friends singing & sharing party cakes made the day so special.

Friendly helpful staff. Took great care of my father. Made him feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. He really enjoyed the food. He was treated with dignity and made to feel special by everyone. Calling him by his name at all times. Thank you.

Mum has been in the care home for a few years now due to a fall at home that left her unable to walk again and dementia diagnosis! Mums care has been wonderful even when she is difficult at times, she is happy and content and I know she is very well looked after, the staff are brilliant with her and always do everything they can to keep mum happy! Any concerns that may arise are dealt with swiftly!

Efficient and timely communication, friendly and helpful staff, the home accommodates special requests. This gives my family peace of mind that my father in law is being well looked after. He has dementia and so needs special care.

Overall very pleased with the care given to my husband. He has improved very much in the last two weeks, I hope it continues when going home next week. Great to be able to visit when it suited me and I enjoyed meeting all the carers. Hoping to use this care home for respite in future.

Very well looked after, from cleaners to staff. They could not do enough for you.

I cannot speak highly enough of my care. The staff are always smiling and friendly. Never hesitate to help. The care home was clean and I felt at ease the whole of the stay. I suppose the only negative comment is the plates at mealtime were cold. I would recommend it.

Apprehensive, with a broken leg I was, at 84, scared on arrival. I soon found myself in a safe and secure environment, in which to recover and regain my confidence. Nurses and carers were kind, professional and encouraging. I was treated with courtesy and considered a person with specific needs and preferences. In turn I made an effort to know and remember names.

Due to to the fact my wife had lost her ability to get around, even with a walking frame, she spent a total of 10 weeks in residence and sadly passed away in early December.

My mother really enjoyed her respite stay and looks forward to coming back in the future.

We found on arrival Henry Cornish Care Centre was very pleasant, clean and welcoming. We visited at the weekend and had to wait a while to be let in and out. The carers that we did see seemed very nice and the two male carers responded quickly when we needed help. The only criticism we have was that a female member of staff came into our father's room at 2 pm and asked if he wanted to go to bed, which we thought rather rude as he was happily chatting with his visitors.

The home is always welcoming - and the staff are friendly and professional, always happy to chat, always happy to assist and proactive in voicing any concerns about my Dad's well-being. It is a great relief and reassurance to me that he is safe, happy and cared for.

I am an activities assistant volunteer at Henry Cornish Care Home and I really enjoy doing different activities with all the residents. The staff and residents always welcome me. It is the highlight of my week.

Outings are planned, my mum loves going out and talks about them for a long time afterwards. The home also puts on BBQs and other events to include family.

Keep up the good work, it helps so much to know your loved one is being treated with dignity and given the best care.

My mother has been looked after brilliantly. I couldn't have asked for better care.

Dad was first in Henry Cornish as an intermediate care unit patient after breaking his hip, but when Mum sadly died earlier this year he chose to move in as a permanent resident. The move was handled very well and he has settled in as well as possible in the circumstances. Care is good and carers are always friendly and helpful. My only gripe is the door entry system out of hours (when I usually visit) as you can be waiting a while to be let in/out. This isn't a criticism of the staff who get to you as quickly as they can when they are busy - but I wish there was a better system!

I found that all of the staff (with no exception) are the most caring and helpful people I have ever met. The service here is second to none.
