Food is good. Can have meals in your room or the dining room. Like the dining room as you meet the other residents
Staff are very good..kind and well mannered and will do as you request. Got to know most of them now and makes my life even better.
I have had bad falls where I used to live, now as you get a bell push in your room it makes me feel safer, even at night, when the staff are on.
Nice grounds with a courtyard to enjoy the sunshine. An activities list produced every Monday so you can choose what you want to attend, regular residents meetings so you can discuss things with the managers.
Am pleased that I was placed here as it is above my expectations.

Come to visit the home twice a week, play scrabble with one of the residents who is 103. Staff are polite and treat them well.

My dad was a resident for just over 3 years and passed away from bowel cancer 28/01/2018. During his last few weeks, the care shown to him was amazing. Respect and care for his well being. Always trying to ensure his wishes were adhered to. Talking to him and recognising his capacity to make his own decisions. The staff were extremely supportive of me and especially making sure I knew what was going on. I would have given them excellent for everything but there seems to be a shortage of staff, in as much as they are rushed off their feet. They have the minimum required, but I would like to see them less stressed. Head office take note!

Quite satisfactory but communication between staff and residents could be improved.
The carers are very special, it's wonderful for my father to receive personal care. I feel like it's an extended family. They don't patronise him and treat him with kindness and dignity at all times. they listen to our opinions at all times.
The Maltings staff are exceptional. When I leave my mum after visiting, I know that she is in good safe care and couldn't be looked after any better. No complaints whatsever about anything.My mum is the happiest I have seen her for years.
