Gittisham Hill House Care Home

All staff kind & caring. Always kept me up to date with any developments

Wonderful care, lovely staff, great chef, Thank you.

I liaised frequently with the Managers and admin staff who were always available and incredibly helpful.

Over a years stay at the above. Staff are exceptionally good. Good management skill is evident. Really treat her with good communication.

Mum is receiving excellent care at Gittisham Hill House. The staff popping in when walking by her room just to say hi. She has her hair done once a fortnight which cheers her up. She loves her weekly baths. The food always looks good and varied, she tells us how wonderful it is.

Dad has been living in the home for several months and is settling in well. The staff are fantastic, very caring and responsive to his needs.

My mum has been with you now for about 4 months and throughout has been treated really well. She is blind and deaf but still has her marbles. Unfortunately not able to walk. I visit at least twice a week and find her relaxed & contented each time the staff are wonderful & so caring. Many go above & beyond. The food is marvellous & mum says she hasn't had a bad meal. She regrets not being able to eat more. Her medical needs are addressed really well. For her 100th birthday we had a lovely party in great surroundings. What more could we ask. I am so happy she was placed with you, I have peace of mind, I think she feels at home.

My mum was a resident at Gittisham for 22 months. The care, kindness & respectfulness of all the staff was exceptional. They all became her extended family and nothing was too much trouble. I was always made to feel very welcome & included in all decisions regarding her care. My heartfelt thanks go to everyone.

My relative strongly resisted moving into the care home and having to stay there. There was no other option as it was in her best interest and for her safety. Many of the carers 'won her over' and she soon realised she was in a safe place. She was always treated with care & dignity & despite some negative outbursts on my aunt's behalf, it never affected her treatment. Thank you.

The care and kindness shown to my stepfather in his last few weeks was fantastic. He was safe, secure, well looked after and took pleasure is many things. The 24 hour access policy and communication with staff was very good and we felt happy knowing how good the staff were. We were always welcomed into the home and felt very at ease.

My mum was admitted after a fall, to rest and recover for 6 weeks. From my first contact with Gittisham Hill House Care Home, they could not be more welcoming, helpful and kind. The care staff are wonderful and treat Mum with such care and gentleness. I would recommend anyone with care needs to stay here!

I just wanted to leave a note to say that I am so pleased my mum is staying at Gittisham. I do not have extensive experience with care homes, though based on what experience I have this is a great one. My mum is more settled than she was previously, I can see the staff take care in ensuring no one is isolated, there is always something going on and there are always plenty of staff available. I never have an issue visiting my mum and it's such a relief knowing she is well cared for.

The food is wonderful, with a choice, and plenty of it. Dad's room is very comfortable with lots of his own belongings and pictures on the wall. The resident's garden is being re-landscaped, which is where he loves to sit in warm weather. The residents are also encouraged to choose and look after plants.

Mum has been a resident at Gittisham Hill Care Home Honiton for 3 years. The care and love Mum receives is wonderful. I'm always made to feel welcome and I love to join in with the activities. I would like to thank all members of staff for the continuing love and support Mum receives. Yes, I would recommend Gittisham Hill House.

My relation has been in Gittisham Hill House for six years and I am completely pleased with all aspects of her care. Her general health has improved enormously and she is treated with care and dignity. She is very happy.

Dementia is a horrible thing to have so we personally thank all the team at Gittisham Hill House Care Home in Honiton.

We shall always be grateful to the manager and staff for making Mum's last 12 months the very best that they could be. We will also never forget the kindness and compassion shown to us upon Mum's passing. It made a difficult time a little easier to bear.

My husband has been well cared for. All the staff are friendly, caring and welcoming to visitors. The manager is very helpful and understanding of his needs and mine.

I would like to thank the manager and her team at Gittisham Hills House for their support in looking after Dad. I always felt he was as happy as he could be, and I was always made to feel welcome when visiting, with plenty of updates on Dad.

Wonderful care of my mum as she died. Highly professional, very caring and gave huge comfort to my mum and us as a family. Lovely personable manner when attending to Mum's hygiene/moving her, was always clear and direct in any communication and always spoke directly to Mum on entering her room, which I really appreciated. Just a wonderful place - a massive thank you.
