My sisters and I are very happy to have our father so well looked after. Whenever I have visited, there is a welcoming feeling. Staff are kind and friendly. The food always smells delicious and I know that there are no complaints from our father. There is always something happening in the lounge which I know our father enjoys. The nursing care is competent and caring. The home is clean and fresh, as is his room. The grounds surrounding the home are beautiful which complements the view perfectly. Overall we are very satisfied with his care.
Thank you for your kind comments about our caring staff, the food and the beautiful gardens which are much enjoyed by the residents and their families during the warmer, drier weather. I am pleased you and your sisters are happy with your Dad's care at Somerhill Care Home. Your Dad is a pleasure to know and an important member of our community.

My grandad has been in Somerhill for almost 18 months now. The staff are warm, friendly and exceptionally kind. The facilities are accessible, bright and homely. The kitchen always smells delicious. The garden in particular is so beautifully maintained and a lovely place to spend time together - particularly with active little ones visiting as well. Would highly recommend it.
My father is so well cared for at Somerhill. The staff are always so kind, caring and welcoming and treat the residents with dignity and respect. There is always something going on and the food is freshly prepared every day. The views are amazing and it is bright, fresh and immaculate.

Thank you so much for such a great review. I am so pleased that you are very happy with the home and that we are seen in such a positive light. As you know my door is always open and I am there if needed.
Only positive things to say about Somerhill and the amazing, caring staff that work there. They looked after my mother for over two years until she recently passed away and she (and her family) were treated with the utmost kindness at all times.

My father has been at Somerhill for five months and is grateful for the kindness and care shown by staff. As demonstrated recently when he has been ill and required bed rest to enable him to recover. When I approached the Manager and Clinical lead nurse regarding planning a way forward by introduction of time sitting out in his chair, they were very co-operative and began to rearrange the room that day accordingly. The carers worked so well together, preparing my father to be hoisted, making him comfortable and safe. I know how grateful he is to be making the first steps to recovery after being so unwell. I really appreciate that in raising a concern, it was dealt with immediately. The staff will continue to assess how well my father adapts to the new routine. At Christmas, my father and I enjoyed Christmas dinner together with other residents, which made a special occasion for us all
Thank you for your review. We believe in enabling the residents and following their wishes as far as possible. It is a pleasure to look after your Dad and listening to him talk about his past.
Overall experience was very good. All staff showed a caring attitude and willingness to help both patients and visitors. All the residents appeared happy and content.

My brother was very well cared for during his end-of-life care. The senior staff were all friendly, helpful and respectful towards my brother and the rest of the family. I was kept notified all through the last weeks of his life. The nurses and support staff were all very kind and preserved my brother's dignity all through his time at Somerhill. The room was excellent, ensuite, modern, well-maintained and spotlessly clean.
Thank you for your lovely review and for taking the time to do the review. I will share the feedback with the team.
