Garrett House Residential Home

The staff genuinely care for the residents and I would recommend Garrett House to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones.

Garrett House is a beautiful home with wonderful facilities including extensive gardens. Residents are looked after by staff as if they were family. Residents are treated with care and dignity and their issues are taken into account. Meals are of a very high standard and there is regular entertainment/activities. Staff are always friendly and polite. Residents are always happy. We would not hesitate in recommending Garrett House.

Garrett House staff always maintain extremely high standards in all areas concerning residents and their families. During this testing time with the spread of the Coronavirus and the necessary no visiting policy, every effort has been made to involve the families by whatever means best suited to each resident. This despite social media being alien to many. And regular newsletters have been issued explaining what measures have been taken to ensure that best practice is followed. Beyond that any queries or concerns have been dealt with speedily and helpfully. In my case, my mother couldn't understand my absence but with the support she needed and was given has been able to find peace of mind. With elderly loved ones it follows that many of us family members are no longer young and have had our own medical concerns to deal with. Knowing that our loved ones are being cared for so well is a comfort beyond words. Thank you everyone at Garrett House.

My mother is very content here. She enjoys the food, activities and environment and seems to have a good relationship with staff and carers. Many of the staff go over and above what might be expected to ensure the welfare of residents. I would have no hesitation in recommending Garrett House.

It's a very caring residential home, with high standards of staff available. Food seems to be of a high standard and the house itself is very grand and not at all typical of a care home. There is always a highly responsible person on reception from Monday to Friday who will always do their best to deal with anything. The dining room is very grand as well. Have had to deal with conversations with the local GP practice and this has all gone very smoothly.

Mother is well looked after, she has everything to fulfill her physical, emotional and social needs.

Since being in Garrett House, my mother's quality of life has greatly improved. She enjoys the company of others and the extra attention she receives. Also, the activities she does are impressive.

My mum went to Garrett House for two weeks in March and didn’t want to go home. The staff management and everyone had made her stay perfect. Not only did she feel secure, the staff were so friendly and she loved the entertainment and going to the activities twice a week. She had one or two health problems and mobility was limited. She had Myeloma and the home offered palliative care, meaning she didn’t have to leave the home and could stay where she was safe and happy. My brother and I stayed with Mum until she passed away. The staff were so considerate to our feelings and Mum's right to the very end. I would recommend Garrett House to anyone looking for residential care.
