Review from C S (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 8 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
This residence is bright, colourful and very welcoming. Cosy and warm in winter, cool and fresh in summer, with lovely well-kept gardens, enclosed with shrubs and climbing plants.
The staff are very patient, caring, pleasant and always aware of resident's needs/requests.
Very weekday has activities/outings (and entertainment) arranged and fete days, bbq's during the summer.

We are very appreciative of all the staff for their care and attention.

Review from Maggie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My father had a major operation and needed care post-p. This home has provided excellent care tailored to his needs and is encouraging him to be able to have the confidence to go home and care for himself.

All the staff are caring, considerate and respectful or their resident's individual needs. I have been most impressed. The food is also of a very high standard. All the rooms are comfortable and well furnished. They are particularly good at arranging activities for the residents.

↩Reply from D Wielkopolska, Director at The Towans
Thank you so much for your feedback, it is really appreciated and we will let all the Staff Team know, they will be very pleased your father was so happy here, they enjoyed caring for him.

Kind regards.

I have worked in the care industry for over 28 years in Residential, domiciliary, and extra care settings. I joined the Towans as manager at the end of the summer in 2023, and am delighted to be working in such a wonderful home with a dedicated team of care professionals who are well respected by health professionals for providing outstanding care and support to our residents.

I have been at Towans for 10 years where I started as an apprentice and worked up into Management after gaining my Level 5. The best part is being able to care for so many individuals and give back to them as they have all their lives. I enjoy working with all team members and feel like I have grown up in Towans. Towans staff, residents and families become part of the Towans Team being included in the daily running of the Towans.

I try to be a problem solver and feel part of my new role recently is supporting the Families and residents alike but always being at hand for staff and any situations that arise to deal with appropriately and swiftly.
