Review from L H (Son of Resident) published on 16 September 2022 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My father moved to Little Oldway in April 2022 suffering from dementia and Alzheimers's aged 88 years. He has settled in well and seems happy with his surroundings. I have found all the staff to be very caring and helpful. They seem to be very genuine and I am more than happy with the support that he is receiving. When my dad has been unwell or needed to get hospital treatment I have been quickly advised. He is in a safe and secure environment and I am pleased with the service he receives.

Review from Carol L (Partner of Resident) published on 9 May 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The saying "Never judge a book by its cover" is very apt for Little Oldway.
During my partner's stay, the care he received from all the staff was exemplary. From the first day to his final hours he was treated with utmost care and consideration.
Octobers 2021 was a very difficult month as my partner was on end of life care. I was kept informed of any changes and allowed to visit nearly everyday. His final few days were eased by the kindness and support of the staff not only to myself, but to his immediate family.

Little Oldway is not just a care home, but a care home that treats you like family.
