So grateful for how they have treated my mother

We're delighted to hear that you've felt welcomed and supported during your visits, and that our staff have made...
Staff have all been kind caring and considerate. Mum enjoys the food. She has settled in well despite complex issues arising from dementia. Communication has been good and the management team and seniors have gone the extra mile to help mum and our family at what has been a difficult time for us.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that your mum has settled in well and is enjoying her meals. Supporting residents and their families through challenging times is very important to us, and we are pleased that our team has been able to provide the care, communication, and...
Dad lights up when he sees some of his favourite carers, esp Deb! It is a huge relief to know that he is being well taken care of and his needs are met. He is always clean and tidy (note he is often incontinent), nails trimmed, hair cut, clean shaven - which he cannot do for himself, and eats well. Residents are well monitored as well, as there are cameras in the main communal areas
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed feedback. It means a great deal to our team to know that your dad feels safe, cared for, and happy with us. We're especially pleased that our staff's attentiveness and quick actions have made such a difference. Your reassurance and trust are truly appreciated, and we'll be sure to pass on your lovely comments to Lee, Deb, and the whole team.
Our dad has been there for just over 2 weeks. We feel he is safe, he is also being monitored and well looked after. We thank you. Keep up the good work.
Over the weeks I found it hard to get mom to mingle with others in the home. But with the carers and nurses there she has loved participating in craft work with your staff and residents, it was so lovely to see her happy. Your staff have been amazing with my mother and I can't speak highly enough about them and how she has been treated.
It was an amazing experience well done
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We understand how important it is for residents to feel comfortable and engaged, and were so pleased to hear your mum has enjoyed joining in activities and connecting with others. Its wonderful to know our team has made such a positive impact on her experience. Your feedback truly means a lot to us.
We could not be any happier with all aspects of Dad's care.
From the very warm welcome he and us as a family received on day one, the care could not be any more suited to his needs. Emotionally and practically.
This home has a warm, fun and happy feel. Nothing is too much trouble and we are all treated as family.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your father has settled in well and that you've all felt welcomed and supported from the very beginning. It means a great deal to our team to know that our care, both emotional and practical, is making a positive difference. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
My dad has any been here for 2 weeks so far, the staff are fantastic, friendly and supportive, I can sleep at night knowing my dad is safe an well taken care off, thank you to the team at Penn House.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to our team to hear that your dad has settled in well during his first couple of weeks with us. Our staff work hard to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for every resident, and it's wonderful to know that this has given you...
Myself, my sister, family and friends have always been made to feel very welcome and the team always take the time to speak to us when we are there. A big thank you to everyone at Penn House for everything that they are doing for Mum.
Thank you for your feedback, your kind words will be shared with the team.
Cannot fault the care mom receives here. All the staff are lovely and friendly and welcoming. Mom is well looked after and kept safe. Cannot praise them enough for their care. I can sleep at night knowing mom is in good hands.
Thank you for your review, we will share this with the team.
What can I say about this wonderful establishment that isn't glowing. My Mam had been in their care since February 2023 following an emergency temporary respite bed, she has remained there until she sadly passed away early this morning. Her behaviour to say the least was both complex and challenging at times, the staff went above and beyond, she was extremely well looked after, safe, cared for with love and the last week of her life she was comfortable and I was able to visit whenever I wished. I will be forever grateful to the Manager and Staff at Penn House for their professional manner, care, love and support they showed my Mam. A heartfelt Thank You
Thank you for your heartfelt message. It has been a pleasure to take care of Mum. Your feedback is highly valued. We are here for you if you would like to reach out to us at any time.
Fantastic care given to our Dad by all staff at Penn House since being transferred here from hospital towards the end of October 2024. Can't speak highly enough of all of you, our gratitude to you all for the support and encouragement to Dad and also to all our family in this uncertain time. He has come through a lot and is now very much stronger. Thank you hopefully, he will be home soon.
The home has looked after my father-in-law very well since day one of his transfer from hospital. We are very pleased with his progress there. The staff are very welcoming and supportive to us as well. Top marks, would definitely recommend this care home.
Dad has been supported and encouraged by an attentive team of staff. They have made us all feel welcome when visiting and enabled Dad to feel safe and secure whilst he continued to get well. Communication has been excellent, keeping us updated on Dad's progress.
Amazing team looking after my dad, he has come on leaps and bounds since being in their care. He has put them through a lot at the start of his stay. But their commitment to get him fit and healthy to come back home is amazing.
Having been in hospital for 2 weeks for a suspected UTI infection, where he had several intravenous antibiotics during his stay.
The staff at the care home have taken the time to make Dad comfortable and take time to talk with him.
He was very confused as to why he had been sent to a care home.
The staff has reassured him, as he has gained in confidence being able to walk with his frame. Eating and dressing himself.
He is happy with the home and doesn't want to be moved anywhere else. Just to get better and get back home.
Well done to the caring staff.
Thank you for your valued review. Once again thank you for choosing Penn House as your nominated care provider for your loved one. Your feedback will be shared to the team.
My sister joined Penn House after struggling to manage in her ground-floor flat. The care that was provided for her in her flat was nothing short of woeful. On first entering Penn House we were very impressed with the friendliness and dedication of all the staff from management to domestics. Nothing is too much trouble for them even in busier times. After years of not eating properly, my sister now eats properly cooked meals and loves the crispy bacon on a weekend! Well done Penn House.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback, we will share this with the team, it's a pleasure taking care of your loved one.
Mum was admitted directly from hospital severely weakened from a serious bout of constipation. The dedication and attention provided by the staff to reinvigorating Mum with nutritional intake and mobility has been profoundly successful and appreciated. Mum is much brighter and starting to join the other residents in the communal areas for meals and TV. Great job.
Thank you for taking the time to write up your valuable feedback. I will share this empowering message with the team. It's a pleasure taking care of Mum and all of our residents. We are family.
They’ve made Mom feel so welcome, she’s settled in really well and I can honestly say, hand on heart, that in all of my time there with her I have never once witnessed an ounce of impatience from any of the staff with any of the patients, not a single eye roll or sigh amongst them - even when challenging situations arise. It’s clear they care a great deal and it’s obvious that they’re there because they want to be. They are happy in their work which speaks volumes for the home overall. There are no closed doors or secrets, and no set visiting hours, we’re told that this is her home and ours too. They bring me peace at a very stressful time.
We thank you for sharing your highly valued feedback, this review will be shared with our teams. We thank you for giving us the opportunity to care for your loved one at Penn House.
First impressions when I walked in the home was that it was warm and the staff also warm and friendly also there was no smell sometimes attributed to a care home.
My mom has been a resident for 5 nights and she has asked for cake, the first time in 9 weeks she has asked for food, she is in a warm comfortable room and is smiling and sleeping much better. My dad is happy to see my mom being looked after so well.
My mom's skin is in a bad way due to the hospital stay, but the staff at Penn House are looking after her to the district nurses instructions.
The family are hoping that after the physios have helped my mom to stand then hopefully walk again there will be availability for my mom to continue her stay.
A big thank you to all the staff and management for looking after mom and putting a smile back on her face!
to feel extremely welcome every time I visited him. When he was taken ill one morning the member of staff stayed with him in the ambulance and at the hospital till we got there, I felt this really showed a real caring and compassion over and above what I would have expected.
