Review from Patrick B (Son of Resident) published on 17 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Although not the most important thing, the building in which the home is housed is delightful and behind it is a well-tended garden complete with a magnificent potting shed. The residents play a full part in selecting what to grow - flowers and vegetables - and are also involved in the growing process.
The food is very good. I have eaten lunch there myself on several occasions.

The best thing about the home, however, is the staff. They are always very friendly and attentive. I would particularly mention the activities which are laid on for the residents. There is no plonking the residents in front of the tele. Indeed there is no television in the sitting room, which encourages interaction between the residents.

Reply from Stephen Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your recent review. Your mother is very happy at Stratton House and enjoys all the activities and likes to take part daily. It is always good to read about how kind and attentive our staff are; they do an incredible job, and I’m very lucky to have such a good caring team. I will share...

Overall Experience

Until I came to Stratton House in March 2020 I had had no previous experience of any care home and was absolutely amazed at the special care and attention I received. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff - their only concern being the happiness of residents. I could not rate this care home more highly if I tried. It was like being one of a big happy family, and I shall be so sad to leave them all.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Very good but I still wish I was able to live on my own to cook my meals and look after a small house, garden and conservatory as I did until 2019.

Review from George W (Resident / Service User) published on 21 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am a single man with severe lifelong deafness after a maternity hospital acquired infection as a very young baby. Despite this I had a successful career in engineering. Although now very infirm at 87, I am still in very good mental health. On finding it was becoming physically too difficult for me to live alone, my doctor and solicitor joined in recommending Stratton House for my future residential care. I have not been disappointed and I am very grateful for their advice.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your recent comments about the home. I am pleased to read that we have not disappointed you by the care you are receiving at the home and that you score the home 5 out of 5. I will share your review with the staff where such positive comments are greatly appreciated.

Review from Alan D (Son of Resident) published on 21 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What an incredible job you are all doing in such testing times and what an achievement it is to have kept all your residents and staff safe and sound. Well done!
Every time we ring to talk to Mum, whoever answers the phone manages to sound so upbeat and friendly and it is never to much trouble to take the phone to her.
When we talk to Mum she is so happy, particularly with the amazing range of activities that you have still managed to provide under such trying circumstances.

It is such a relief, whilst we ourselves are sheltering, to know that Mum is being looked after by such a compassionate and caring team. A very big thank you and clap to all of you tonight.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback about Stratton House and the wonderful staff. It is a difficult time but the staff at the home remain positive and as you say upbeat. Such wonderful feedback from yourself will certainly maintain the high morale that is currently in the home. I will ensure that I share your comments with all the staff where I know it will be greatly appreciated.

My mother has settled very well into Stratton House. She enjoys the company, the many and varied activities and spending time in the garden. The staff have all been very supportive of my Mum and also, of her family during this time of change.

Overall Experience

Friendly staff, manager available if needed. Activities available, outside space easily accessible, variety of volunteers and variety fo group visits. Better variety of meals access to low-fat semi-skimmed milk etc, more variety of bread not just white/brown perhaps muffins, croissants, seeded bread and bagels?

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your review of Stratton House. It's pleasing to see you find the staff friendly, the outside space is easily accessible. The residents are involved with menu planning but I will ensure I pass on your thoughts around having more variety of bread and milk to the chef.

Excellent care home and we have experience of 4 or 5 others (parents-in-law). Good caring attitude the care is well adapted to the needs of the resident.
Kind staff are doing a difficult job. Good activities for those who are capable.

Lack of dental care is the only problem.

Review from Margot H (Respite Resident) published on 4 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff, on the whole aim to please (the odd one needs a little more training in social skills and bed-making sheet only pulled over the un-made bed!) Staff work very hard and always pleasant. As I progressed in becoming more mobile and self-reliant, it became less frustrating having to wait. Being contained in my room and not mobile enough for the restaurant. Found food often only lukewarm.

Reply from Karen Stephens, Area Support Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for you recent review. I am very sorry that your stay at Stratton House was not a positive one. I will discuss this with the Manager and I will be asking him to contact you so this can be discussed further.

Overall Experience

The building is quite impressive, with easy car parking. All the staff are pleasant and helpful. The garden is attractive, well maintained and perfect for residents to sit out, should they wish to do so. The menus are varied, yet residents can still request an alternative if they prefer. It's a good experience for both residents and visitors.

Reply from Steve Hill, Home Manager at Stratton House

Thank you for your recent review on Stratton House. We are very proud to work at Stratton House and as you say the building is impressive and we all take pride in working there.

I am a regular volunteer at Stratton House. I engage with both residents and staff. I am always impressed by the friendly and happy atmosphere that pervades the place.

My mother is generally quite happy at Stratton House.
Her room is very satisfactory and convenient. Stratton House is very good. She does complain that it sometimes takes staff a long time to respond to her buzzer.

She is generally very happy with the food provided.

Thank you for your recent comments about the home. It’s good to read that your Mum is happy and that you would likely recommend Stratton House to others. The home does carry out many checks and one of these is checking the response to call bells, which I will investigate. I will share your positive comments with the staff.

Emma Richer
Emma RicherJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 2017

I began my journey at Stratton House in 2017 as a Night Care Assistant and took the opportunity to develop my skills and knowledge by completing both the NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care and Apprenticeship Level 3 Health and Social Care Adult Lead. I was then promoted to Senior Care Assistant for two years before taking the role of Deputy Manager in 2022 and Home Manager (interim) in 2026.

It really is an honour to be part of the Stratton House Team. Our values of Nurture, Respect and Inspire are demonstrated on a daily basis by our amazing team.

Louise Gascoigne
Louise GascoigneJob Title:Activities CoordinatorJoined: 2024

Before joining MHA, I worked as an Assistant Wellbeing Co-ordinator for 8 months at another care home for people with dementia and nursing needs.

I went to The European School in Brussels and had a Baccalaureate (similar to A levels), and afterwards, I did a bachelor’s degree (BA) in Media Studies with Languages from the University of East Anglia. My background is in organising events and tours around the world.

I enjoy interacting with the residents at Stratton House the most, and I feel the team at Stratton House is supportive and works well together as a team.

Julie Sheppard
Julie SheppardJob Title:Domestic AssistantJoined: 2017

I joined Stratton House in 2017 as a Domestic and Laundry Assistant and previously worked in other care homes for six years.

I love working at Stratton House because of the incredible team I get to work with and the wonderful appreciating residents we look after. Being part of a brilliant team is what makes my work so fulfilling and rewarding.

Aniz Damani
Aniz DamaniJob Title:MaintenanceJoined: 2016

Working at our care home is truly rewarding. The building is a beautiful, listed landmark with stunning grounds that I have the pleasure of looking after as the maintenance person. I love that I can bring my own vision to the garden and handle repairs within, making decisions independently and taking pride in the result.

Being part of Stratton House's history since 2016, and serving the community charitably, makes my role even more meaningful.
