Review from Helen E (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum has been very well cared for. The staff are so caring and treat residents as though they were members of their own family. Laundry, food and cleaning also to an excellent standard. Activities and socials organised regularly. Would definitely recommend.

Review from A H (Friend of Resident) published on 7 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The staff were very caring and so kind to the resident and were considerate and committed to their needs. Also, the staff were very kind and helpful when dealing with myself both in person and on the phone.
The home was a very friendly place to live for the residents, and I really appreciated all the care that they received.

It was a lovely, well-managed home with wonderful staff.

Review from A B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My Mother has been a resident at Summerleaze for 11 years. During that time the home has adapted to and more than accommodated her changing needs, which are many. It was her birthday when I visited and although I hadn't reminded anyone they all knew and had given her a 'special' day which she evidently loved, in her limited capacity. I live some distance away and couldn't be more assured that she is well looked after. It is an extremely well-managed and personal establishment.

Review from Sarah C (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Dad came to Summerleaze for respite initially and they have made what could have been a very distressing situation extremely easy and immediately put our minds and ease knowing that our Dad is being well looked after. This is a wonderful home with a 'home from home' settling. With warm, attentive, and caring staff. Lots of opportunities to socialise and do activities as well as relaxing spaces. Dad's room is lovely, spacious and well-equipped. But would benefit from an extra chair for me!

Review from Helen C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 22 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum has been with you for 18 months and we can honestly say what a difference there is in her. If she wasn't here I think it would be a different story. Your team are always so helpful and caring, nothing is too much trouble for my Mum's needs. Every day she is up dressed and socialising with residents and staff. This is having an amazing management and team here and their perseverance with Mum. We also think having a great manager who has been here for years knows the families and what her residents' needs are, which is a great asset here. The team are always available and approachable too. We love the fact we are always welcome anytime. Recently Mum has been asking to move rooms nearer the lounge as she liked it there and as promised when a room became available she was given the opportunity to have it. After then a dilemma on Mum's behalf the team made sure she was 100% to move into it as to them her happiness was important. We would 100% recommend coming here as we have peace of mind Mum is always cared for.
