My grandma's overall experience so far has been very positive from her first day here. We have found the staff to be friendly, welcoming and supportive, which has greatly helped her to settle into the new environment. The team always puts a great effort into make her feel respected and valued and she is always treated with dignity ensuring that she feels comfortable, safe and at home. The facility itself is kept clean and well maintained with an inviting atmosphere. There are plenty of activities available to keep the resident engaged. Overall the care and compassion shown is remarkable as everyone goes above and beyond to make sure individual needs are met, giving our family such peace of mind knowing our loved one is in excellent care.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are delighted to hear about your Grandma's positive experience so far and that the team have helped her settle in. We will pass on your kind words to the team.
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.

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.

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.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are so pleased to read that you are assured that your mother is well looked after and the home has adapted to accommodated her needs. We are also happy to know that your mother enjoyed her birthday. I will pass on your kind words to the team. Thank you again.
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.

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!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review! We are very happy to hear that you feel at ease knowing your dad is being looked after by our team at Summerleaze. Our aim is for the residents to be as comfortable as possible, so we are glad to hear it feels like a 'home from...

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...
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.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are so happy that the team has made such a positive impact on your mum and you have peace of mind that your mum is always cared for. We will pass on your kind words to the team. It is also lovely to hear that you would recommend the home to others. Thank you again for your time and for leaving this review.
