Glendon House Reviews (22)
Glendon House has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.400) out of 10, based on 8 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Glendon House has 22 reviews.
Just love sending my Mum here for respite. Carers are fantastic although there does seem to be a mañana across the home. Food is good and just love the residents. But laundry, Mum has stayed here three to four times now and I have to go back every time to collect missing items even though most are tagged. I take photos of each item packed. They so need a nominated person to do laundry rather than a disorganised approach.
Since your review, we have updated and improved our systems in the laundry with a nominated member of staff on every shift.
To me, residents with violent tendencies should not be allowed to wander freely and distress others.
Carers, when asked for help in this respect, reply there is nothing they can do. For residents like these, surely a separate unit is required. One resident, despite treatment, remained the same, threatening me with clawed hands and to avoid him, I have all my meals in my room.
Management pleasant and approachable, tackles and does her best to solve problems quickly. Staff kind, friendly and caring. I myself, exceptionally, am fairly mentally alert and mildly active, if in health, need help with washing, bathing, hair wash etc.
Cannot genuinely comment on activities, avoiding depression, seek social life elsewhere. In bed with a bout of illness lately. Staff absolutely marvellous. Immediate attention from especially night staff. I am happy here.
We are pleased that you have chosen to live at Glendon House, but it is a designated dementia home. Our priority is to maintain the facilities in the most appropriate way for our residents, who with the exception of yourself, are all living with dementia.
