For the third year running my sister is looking forward to a great Christmas - our thanks to everyone at the Turrets.
Having lived at home with her now very old mother until she was 60 its as if she's now finally "left home" and she's almost starting life again - being given every opportunity to enjoy life and develop her own abilities and interests.

My brother has been at the Turrets now for a number of years and I have to say - he has been treated with lots of love and respect from all the staff who work there . He loves being there and settled in very quickly from the beginning .
I live abroad , so I phone in regularly to speak with him . The staff always tell me if I can speak to him at that moment or to call back later after he has finished what he is doing - like eating or showering etc . All the staff are polite and respectful to me .
He loves to go out to get his newspaper and have a coffee each day - the staff are amazing for always helping him do what he wants to do .
His bedroom is fantastic, and decorated in his favourite football team colours and bedding and he has his own TV in his room too .
He enjoys all the food and the homemade meals he gets to eat each day .
He is taken very good care of and always seems happy and content each time I call him .

I feel very happy that Jane is so well looked after in the Turrets. Whenever I go in I can feel the love that is given to all the residents. The carers all are attentive and kind. There is a real family feeling in the air.
Whenever we take Jane and her boyfriend Michael out they are always clean, well dressed and well presented. They are always happy to go back home after trip out and are welcomed back in a very warm way.
When I have arranged holidays for them the team at the Turrets have been extremely helpful in creating these special times. The team also arrange lovely trips for the residents such as a trip to the Pantomime at Christmas
I would have no reservation in recommending this home to anyone with a relative or person that they care for with learning disabilities.

As Jane's Deputy I am so happy that she was placed at the Turrets, they look after her so well

We would like to thank all of the staff there who took care of my brother. It sounds like he really had a wonderful home with you all. The funeral was arranged perfectly and the number of friends there showed how much he was loved. As a family, we were very thankful for the way you all took care of him and the way that you took care of us at his funeral. Showing great respect and dignity for him on that day.
Love brother, his sister-in-law, his nephew and niece-in-law.

The care for my brother has been and is excellent, the staff are very approachable as well as communicate in an effective and efficient way.
I have had to be in contact in recent times more regularly due to my brother having to return to hospital, this was for a short period. The staff visited him as well as welcome him back on his return. He is now different and is more talkative, expressing views also smiling a lot.
I am pleased at his continued progress its great to see.

My mum has been in the home for a year now, when I visit the home it is always very clean and tidy. When I go into the home I’m always offered a hot or cold drink and so is my family. I've visited my mum during their mealtime and they have always given me a hot or cold meal. Also, it’s a very warm welcome and friendly home. I call them if I need to talk to them, nothing is ever too much trouble, they listen and advise me. My mother suffers from mental health and the home is always there for her, all carers go out of their way to sit and listen to my mum and are an emotional support. I would recommend The Turrets home to anyone. The management are never far away and are always there if you need them. The manager and all the staff are amazing, thank you so much for being there and doing the great care that you do.

It would be difficult to find a better place for our daughter to live. The home is well appointed, clean and comfortable. She regards the staff as friends and identifies closely with them.
She enjoys her own well-equipped bedroom, and having been allowed to make her own changes, has turned it into her pride and joy, opening a new perspective in her life.
Staff universally recognise her vulnerability and treat her with respect and consideration, and managers at all levels openly acknowledge their accountability for her welfare and well-being.
We are consulted regularly to confirm that she is happy and her needs are being met and to establish whether a change is necessary or improvements made.
