Wolfeton Manor

Warm, clean and tidy. Nothing too much trouble. Expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Visitors can always park.

My mother has been a resident of Wolfeton Manor for the last five years and I can't tell you how pleased both she and the family are regarding her care. She has blossomed since moving to Wolfeton Manor, thanks mainly to the quality of care she receives from all the staff who are now like family to her. There is a very low turnover of staff which I am sure reflects the happy environment in which they work. The home is managed extremely efficiently. On occasion, the management serves food or cares for residents which means they are fully in touch with everyone's needs at a grassroots level.

My mother enjoys an active social life both in and outside the home. Her guests are always greeted with great warmness and offers of coffee. There are plenty of activities in which residents can partake and the activities manager is a very popular member of staff.

My mother is treated with dignity and respect. I can not recommend Wolfeton Manor highly enough and urge you to visit!

My friend found the care home "homely and efficient". Thanks to the kindness and warmth of the staff.

Following a fall at home and a month in hospital, my mother was unable to cope with going home on her own. A three-week stay at Wolfeton was the best pick me up we could have wished for. Her confidence returned and she changed from a distressed lady of 92 to a life and soul of the party. Back home now and doing really well. Thank you Wolfeton, you were wonderful.

Very caring and helpful with good food.

The care and commitment from the staff at Wolfeton are superb, nothing is too much trouble. I have found nothing but dedication and respect given by all the staff members to residents and visitors. The atmosphere is happy and relaxed and the home is always very welcoming whatever time of the day I visit.

A warm welcome when entering 'Wolfeton Manor'. Service and general care is very good. Other residents seem to be happy and the atmosphere in the home is positive and friendly.

I had to find a place for my husband when I was suddenly taken into hospital and count my self fortunate indeed to have found Wolfeton Manor. I cannot speak too highly of their efficiency in handling all aspects of his care but most of all their sympathy and understanding. The premises are very pleasant, furniture comfortable, setting and grounds restful, attention to very handicapped residents, kind and patient. All staff seem eager to help whenever needed. Food is varied and imaginative, obviously within the limits of catering for so many and nothing seems to be too much trouble. They welcome me so kindly when I came from hospital. Viva Wolfeton Manor!

They have recently employed a wonderful junior carer who's role is to help residents do something special, such as play board games, paints their nails, or help with emails - importantly she is allocated time for this role. If I was to suggest an improvement, it would be to increase the number of day trips out.

Wolfeton is a delightful residential care home with the added bonus of well maintained gardens and various activities and outings for the residents, should they wish to take part. Pimms on the lawn, card games and craft activities are organised and a Wolfeton news letter, keeping the residents informed of general news in the home and advising them of what activities are planned for the coming weeks.

Family and friends are always given a warm welcome with the offer of tea, coffee and biscuits. Very welcome after a long journey.

A hairdresser is available once a week, which I know makes my mother feel and look a lot better.

The staff are caring, kind and very approachable should there be any concerns about your loved ones. The management are quick to solve any issues you bring to their attention.

Well done Wolfeton.

Dad is very happy with the care he is receiving at Wolfeton Manor. He likes the staff looking after him, and enjoys chatting to the other residents.

For my part, I think there is a cheerful caring atmosphere at the home, and I am pleased that Dad is receiving the care he needs and that he is happy.

I would like him to take regular walks in the garden and around the house to avoid becoming dependent on a wheelchair for mobility, and would be grateful if he could be encouraged to do so.

Following my father's death mum's appetite was poor and the catering staff tried lots of differing things to tempt her including buying vindaloo paste - a great favourite of mum's to spice up food that she didn't fancy too much. They have also been willing to come in early on shifts to help me with doctor or dentist appointments. I feel very positive about her experience over the last two years.

For anyone like my mother who is no longer able to live in their own home, this really is the best option. The organisation is good, the food is good, the staff are absolutely marvellous. The rest of closer members of the family all live a long distance from the care home but we are at ease because we know she is being well looked after.

She often says she likes the food.

I have always found the staff very accommodating, and asking for a vegetarian meal for myself, even at short notice, is never a problem.

Without exception the staff have been kind and patient with my mother even when she is being demanding.

Many many thanks for making this part of her life as comfortable as possible.

I have stayed at Wolfeton Manor for respite a few times and have always been pleased at the way I have been greeted and welcomed. During my last stay I was touched by the tact of which a staff member dealt with what could have become a difficult situation. The atmosphere in the home is friendly and caring.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care home and my mother said recently that it was marvelous that we had "found such a lovely place for her".

Wolfeton's caring approach was greatly appreciated by my mother and the family. While physically frail, my mother was mentally strong and alert to the end of her life. Staff recognised this, made time to converse with her and involved her as far as they were able in appropriate activities. I shall always be grateful for the support they offered in her final days - nothing was too much trouble.

My Grandfather came for respite at Wolfeton Manor recently. The care staff are very kind and polite, nothing was too much trouble. I was able to visit whenever I wanted to which was great because of my working hours. The room was spacious and bright.

The compassion and empathy that all staff showed my father in his last few days of his life was first class. Nothing was any trouble and we were allowed to sit with him until the end. He was very peaceful when he left us with his family around him. The chef even took her time to discuss what my father liked/disliked so that they could cater for his meals.

My friend was recently welcomed to Wolfeton when he could no longer remain in his own home due to very advanced illness. Although he was only there for a very short time, the compassion, care and professionalism shown by all the staff was second to none. His room was light and airey with plenty of space for us all to sit and keep him company. His family were all made to feel comfortable in the new surroundings and nothing was too much trouble. I'm sure he was aware of the wonderful palliative care he was being given right up to his passing. I was extremely touched by the line up of staff at the main door when the Undertakers took him on his final journey. The dignity shown to him the entire time he was there made a very distressing time just that little bit easier to bear. My personal thanks go to the Management and staff at Wolfeton.
