Dad liked his quiet room, meals very good. Friendly staff and always helpful and very impressed with the calibre of all staff including housekeeping etc. As with most homes, could do with more staff as I think Dad could have done with more one to one (like a keyworker) to encourage him to take part in activities. Lovely grounds, but not as accessible as could be.

We all had a high opinion of all staff members we met and mum was looked after by all with a genuine and caring manner.
She left much recovered and well than when she arrived. Thank you very much from us all.
She is well cared for and in my mum's words 'it's very pleasant here'.
She has a lovely room overlooking the lovely garden where she watches the birds.

The staff are very helpful.
6 months on and Walstead is 'my home' and the staff 'my friends'.
Great effort is made to keep us occupied - 'keep fit', quizzes, visiting musicians and singers - yesterday, bell ringers.
The food is excellent and plentiful.

The grounds at Walstead are extensive and I enjoy taking a walk every day.
Could go on forever!

Walstead Place was very welcoming when we went to view it. The staff were very friendly and informative. When my cousin moved to Walstead after a stint in the hospital she was welcomed and made to feel at home. During her 2 weeks of respite, she was treated with respect and compassion. She was very well fed and accommodated. Great perseverance was shown at all times. I was impressed with all the care.

An excellent home with lovely staff, most of whom have been there a long time. The home is run extremely well with staff showing so much care and compassion. This must surely be on of the best homes around.

My mother was well cared for and felt very safe and secure after a recent spell in hospital. The care at Walstead Place made her recovery so much easier. Many thanks to all the wonderful staff.

Walstead staff...
Walstead staff made so much time to chat to him and take interest in him and what he said.
He really values the effort they put in and the interest they showed in his past.
In common with so many of his fellow residents, he had several short stays in hospital.
He always longed to return to his familiar Walstead.
When he came back from these visits the standard of care and devotion from the staff was exemplary. I have no hesitation in recommending Walstead.
My father has very recently died at Walstead Place Care Home and I cannot thank the staff enough for the support that he was given during his last few weeks. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I was very comforted by the support of the staff during this time. It must have been particularly...
My father has very recently died at Walstead Place Care Home and I cannot thank the staff enough for the support that he was given during his last few weeks. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I was very comforted by the support of the staff during this time. It must have been particularly difficult for the younger members but they never wavered in their help and support.
The care and support she received was fantastic.
I will always be grateful for the kindness and consideration they gave both her and myself.

Awkward doors for wheelchair and his zimmer was by his room so could never manage on his own.
Sometimes long wait 15-20mins when bathroom help was needed.
Activities are well arranged.

Awkward doors for wheelchair and his zimmer was by his room so could never manage on his own.
Sometimes long wait 15-20mins when bathroom help was needed.
Activities are well arranged.
As winter arrived there was no fresh air. Heating, although obviously, it must be warm, was often rather excessive in his room.
Sadly broadband is not working in his room but could get it in a few places.
He was moved to be near family.
The staff were clearly fond of him and made him as comfortable as possible.

Efficient, well run with friendly staff. Delicious, nutritious and well-presented meals. Good personal security, pleasant conditions and good atmosphere.

I entered Walstead Place in a very frail condition following a kidney failure. The care I received met my needs and in seven months I had regained my lost weight and energy. I am about to have an operation to remove the failed kidney and will rely on Walstead Place to help me on the final path to a recovery to full health. My care always came with kindness and friendly cheerfulness and good cooking!
My mother spent at least 3 years at Walstead Place Care Home and although she had a degree of dementia, the home and staff etc. certainly made her final years enjoyable. There were no stipulations on visiting. The staff were always friendly and sociable. Every day there were activities,...
My mother spent at least 3 years at Walstead Place Care Home and although she had a degree of dementia, the home and staff etc. certainly made her final years enjoyable. There were no stipulations on visiting. The staff were always friendly and sociable. Every day there were activities, occasionally to different places in the minibus. Everybody that came with us to visit my mother could not speak highly enough of the home.
Very good care also of us as members of the family - always time to talk and comfort us during dad;s long and slow decline.
