Review from Mary and Peter C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 March 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We visited many care homes in the Bath and West Wiltshire area before finding Romney House, which stood out. Romney House has cared for both our mothers in their final years, even when their medical and care needs were significant. We are full of praise for all the staff and managers and are immensely grateful to them for the thoughtful care they have consistently provided. There is a homely atmosphere, full of laughter. Meals are very good. Varied entertainment and activities are provided, and visiting relatives feel most welcome.

Review from Jane (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has been well cared for the last 6 years.
All aspects of nursing care provided, both physical and mental.
Activities are excellent and provided most days eg musical movement, quizzes, bingo.
Food is plentiful and a wide variation of menu.
Staff - management and carers are excellent.
My mother says, "It's not like home, but it's the next best thing." Can't get a better recommendation than that!

Summing up - living quite a distance from the home, I have peace of mind that my mother is well cared for.

My husband has been cared for well and has had necessary test and treatment arranged, such as dental checks, eye test, hearing tests etc... Plus visits from the doctor.

Review from A C (Son of Resident) published on 9 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Romney House is a home from home. Whether you are a resident or a visitor, you are always made welcome and encouraged to be involved in the activities and events.
The staff, on the whole, are considerate and caring and are always prepared to listen regarding any issues that may arise.

Food is varied and a choice is offered and well cooked. The only criticism we have found - on several occasions, the front door entry bell has not been heard and visitors and returning residents are left in the cold and rain long before the door is answered.

Review from P H (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother at this family run home, has received the best care available. All the staff are very kind, and helpful to all the residents. Relatives and friends are well received. Activities are good for her mental wellbeing, and the food is plentiful and nourishing. Birthdays are made special, also Christmas fetes and raffles held throughout the year for the benefit of residents (relatives invited). Summed up by my mother 'quote' "I loved my home, but Romney house is the next best thing!"

Review from Sue V (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The home is always clean and never smells, it's more like a guest house. The staff are always very helpful and friendly. The residents are always having activity events. Twice a year the home have open days for family and friends to attend like a garden party and afternoon tea. All meals are home prepared and they have a choice.
The garden is lovely and had lots of seats for them to sit on.
