Homestead Care Home

The management and staff are extremely helpful, kind and very caring, they go the extra mile to ensure the residents are well cared for. I have peace of mind knowing that my mother is looked after so well, she is happy and content there and she feels safe. I am really pleased that we chose this home as it is just the right size, all the staff know all the residents and call them all by their names. I would recommend this care home to anyone.

We are extremely happy with the care that our father receives at Homestead. The home is always well kept, and the staff are very welcoming and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this care home to anyone who is looking in this area.

The staff have been absolutely amazing and, even during lockdown, have maintained regular contact and updates. I cannot praise Homestead enough for the care and respect given.

My dad has been at Homestead now for around two years. Dementia is a cruel disease and changes your loved one so much. Unfortunately, dementia made my dad quite difficult to handle however in all his time here I can honestly say he has been treated with respect, consideration and care. Many members of the care team have been here a while and work so hard and whenever I have been there, they have always had a smile, sometimes under even quite trying circumstances. We looked at several homes and I am so glad we decided on Homestead. Thank you to the team.

Homestead Care Home provides excellent care for my aunt who has vascular dementia. They treat their residents as if they were one of their own family. They are very patient, helping the residents to do everything for themselves if they are able to and keeping them stimulated with a variety of regular activities including day trips. As a family member, nothing is too much trouble when you visit the home or phone/email with enquiries. During COVID-19 and isolation, they have been innovative by providing video calling for their residents to keep in touch with their families whilst at the same time keeping their staff and residents safe. The home itself is very clean and the furniture is both practical and comfortable. I would have no problem recommending anyone to Homestead Care Home for themselves or their relatives.

My husband, diagnosed with mixed dementia 5 years earlier, moved to Homestead Care Home straight from hospital. He was welcomed into his light and airy room, well furnished and with en-suite facilities, by patient caring staff, all of whom had an easy cheerful approach to their work. My husband settled quickly into a routine enjoying the food cooked for him and joining the often stimulating and entertaining activities provided for the residents. Management I found extremely cooperative and friendly, willing to explain and reassure any worries I may have had. I really can't speak too highly of this care home and its management and staff.

It is the staff at Homestead that makes it such a warm and welcoming place to be. They care so much for each and every resident - treating each one with the dignity and respect they deserve. They always say "Hello" with a smile to everyone. I would definitely recommend Homestead as a safe and secure environment to take care of a loved one.

I can't fault this home in any way. Top people who work here. Thanks for looking after my Dad properly.

The management and staff are what makes Homestead a lovely place.

My father in law was made very welcome into the care home and has settled in well. He has improved dramatically since moving in. He gets shaved every day, tea and biscuits mid-morning, looked after really well. You couldn't wish for better staff. A very well run home, the manager is really good at her job.

The home has amazing staff and the manager is fantastic, a really professional lady in every way. The care is genuine and staff work really hard to care for all the residents. The needs of the residents are varied so it is very challenging. The home has been totally renovated to a very good standard.

Homestead Care Home has changed my mother-in-law. She is like a different person, joining in with whatever activities have been arranged. The carers really co care about the residents. There is no doubt they enjoy their job. The manager, other staff and the owner are also very caring. It's a happy home and I'm so pleased that my mother-in-law has settled in in a short space of time. It is a wonderful home.

All care assistants and management caring and do everything to make the residents feel at home. Nothing was too much trouble. All queries and problems were dealt with immediately.

This care home is a very good home. The patients are kept clean and tidy. The food is excellent. It is hard to find fault with this home or the staff.

I am satisfied with the care of my mum at the care home. Staff are very good and helpful and make you feel welcome when visiting. A very family, homely atmosphere and I feel more content myself knowing she is being well cared for.

My mom has been here now for just over 2 years. I can only say that since the higher management has changed the home, has gone from strength to strength. She is treated with the dignity she deserves and all the staff treat her as if she was their own mother. Long may this continue.

Residents are woken every morning and dressed ready for the day. Chiropody, hairdressing and shaving are given when needed. Staff training is easy to see because everyone works together as a team which also reflects good managemnet. Although my husband has had two falls this in no way reflects on the staff. Paramedics arrived quickly and hospital treatment was given if necessary, visitors are always welcome and I have recommended the Homestead Care Home to other people.

The staff are very friendly and will take the time to answer any questions and bring me up to date as to what my husband has been doing, he has dementia he is happy smiling but will not keep still always walking about. He goes to the office for his chocolate. He can be stubborn at times e.g. would not have his toenails cut, but he is happy so am I with the way he is looked after.

My mums grandson is getting married and he wants her to be there. The staff have been really kind in helping us prepare her for the day. Hair/nails/clothing etc On a daily basis she is well cared for and treated with dignity. I chose this (satisfactory) because I think it's a national disgrace that she has to pay for her care!

I am very happy with the home and staff for their support with my mother and myself and have peace of mind that she is being well looked after. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and the management very understanding and very organized and very reassuring and are at hand to help in anyway.
