Winslow House

On the whole, my mother seems happy with her care. Because of her condition it is difficult to find out what she has been involved with (memory problems) and I think that sometimes she doesn't take part in the activities because her friend doesn't! The staff, however, are aware of this and do encourage her as much as possible. There have been occasions recently when the room cleaning has been less than satisfactory and the bathroom has not been provided with a towel. Staff have always responded when I have questioned this.

Winslow must be amongst the best care homes in and around the Stroud area.

The management and staff have treated my mother with dignity and provided her with a good room, sound food and drink. They also allow her the freedom to decide what time she gets up and dressed. They take her out once a week and on the remaining days provide activities. The best thing is that now my mother considers this her home and gets on with everyone. I now do not have to worry about my mother when she was on her own and I know she is being well looked after.

Very positive. Got mum to accept help, take her medicine and lose weight. Mums health has improved, mentally better. They are sensitive to individual needs. I was my parent's primary carer for several years so knew all issues with mum.

Winslow House is a very warm and welcoming home, my Aunt moved there from Norfolk, and so didn't know the area. She has settled in extremely well, and a lot of that is due to the kindness and care of the staff.

Very happy with the care, both personal and emotional, given to my mother. All staff treat her as an individual and are respectful of her, also giving her dignity. Her room is clean and tidy as is her personal laundry.

She is given the opportunity to enjoy various activities, though generally declines as is happier in her own room and TV. When first admitted there 18 months ago she was very distressed and confused due to a medical condition and new environment, but staff have been very patient and ensured that she settles well. She is now generally content and has adapted well.
