Walstead Place

Lovely, friendly place.

It was reassuring to know that my husband was safe and comfortable and being well cared for in my week's absence. Thank you.

My mother has been at Walstead Place for five years. The care and attention she has received has been exemplary. The staff are efficient and well trained and also very caring, not just to the residents but to the relatives too. The food is good and weekday activities (my mum's particular favourite) are outstanding. The staff are a friendly, happy crew with the tone being set by management.

The Walstead has a wonderfully positive atmosphere, with much laughter between staff and residents. Carers are happy to help and show great warmth and empathy to everyone's needs. The feel is very engaging and the staff are friendly and engaging.

Thank you so much for all you do, it is great to visit him and see him so happy.

Everyone and I mean everyone is fantastic and really care about making the residents feel like they are at home. The support my mum has been given is exceptional as is the support and advice I have received.

An excellent afternoon tea party at Walstead Place. The 40's, 50's and 60's singer did a wonderful job of entertaining all the residents. The staff and residents all joined in the singing and some dancing! Great fun all around, thank you.

I have found the home to be very comfortable with very helpful staff serving nutritious food at meal times etc.

I stayed for ten days but am afraid I was disappointed. I booked for two weeks but stayed for ten days. I wanted rehab for two weeks but found the rehab was not what I expected. I was charged for two weeks although I stayed for ten days as the experience was not at all suitable as I was led to be expected. I think the charges were too much for only ten days. The staff were excellent, and very caring, hoping to hear from you.

Although not like the Ritz, Walstead is homely rather than clinical and Mum regards it as her stately home.

Mum had enjoyed several stays at Walstead Place, until her sudden passing in December 2022. She was looked after right up to the end with one of the carers present at the moment of passing. She even had a warm cup of tea at the side of her bed.

Activities well led.

Unfortunately, my sister has developed a mixed dementia and is now coming towards the end of a 6 week's respite stay at Walstead Place having begun to struggle in her own home. I am delighted to say that standards remain very high at Walstead Place. She has been treated with the utmost care and respect, and without a doubt, she has flourished during her stay. She has gained weight, become far less anxious and is no longer socially withdrawn - she has been actively participating in home activities. She looks 10 years younger!

A sincere thanks to all staff at Walstead Place, this is a Care home with a capital "C".

Happy here, staff very kind.

Very caring people. I felt at home straight away with the staff. Food very well presented and willing to help with any problems.

I needed respite at short notice for my 86-year-old mother after a fall. They went out of their way to accommodate her. The staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, they have an open door policy which makes life much easier. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Enjoy my life here at Walstead Place Care Home.

My mother very much enjoyed her stay and I was confident she was well cared for.

The most important aspect of Walstead Place Care Home is, for me, highly satisfactory and that is that our dad is happy there, well cared for and treated with respect. The motivation and jollity of the care and support team are a joy to witness. Thank you for doing all you can to make Dad's end-of-life days comfortable.

Beautiful home, staff are very friendly and make the service users feel at home. Walstead Place does not feel like a care home, it feels just like a home should be - warm, welcoming and clean. I would not hesitate in recommending this home.
