I feel she is safe and her best interest are catered for.
There are staff shortages at times but I don't feel she is at risk at these times.

I cannot be happier that my mum is here. From the moment she arrived, she's loved it and the staff has made us as a family so welcome that it's a pleasure to come and visit. Mum's dementia has improved so much since she's been here and I'm sure it's due to the commitment of the staff and the fact that they give her so much attention.
My husband has been in this home since November, the care is excellent, he is now in bed 24 hours and the attention given is very good. He is always clean and tidy and when visiting, the carers come in very frequently to attend to his needs, drinks etc.

This care home promised that they could meet my father's needs. They not only could not meet his needs, they weren't able to recognise when he was breathless and needed more urgent medical attention than the local doctor that attends once a week. They are short staffed, do not engage their residents in any activities (with no activities coordinator) and there is a culture of not using common sense or being proactive in terms of changing needs or mood of residents. I would go to the extent of saying that staff are not trained sufficiently for their intended roles.

I bring 27 years of dedicated experience in Health and Social Care to my role at Kingsley Healthcare’s Yaxley House. Throughout an accomplished career, I have developed deep expertise across multiple care environments, including extensive work in specialized Dementia care and hands-on experience in home care and domiciliary provision. My clinical background also includes serving in the oncology and haematology departments at West Suffolk Hospital, providing high-quality, specialised support to patients during critical times. A firm believer in compassionate leadership, I champion a strong person-centred and relationship-focused approach to care provision. I am deeply committed to ensuring that every resident receives dignified, individualised support while fostering a warm, connected community for families and staff alike. I am incredibly excited for the future at Yaxley House, where I look forward to driving excellence in care and building meaningful relationships with residents and their loved ones.
