Over all time Appletrees Care Home has 29 reviews.
My mother has been a resident for nearly three years and I have always been impressed with the care and attention given to her by all the staff. Also the management team are very efficient, and are always ready to answer any questions and put us at ease. My father phones every day to inquire about how my mother is and the staff are always pleasant and informative in their response.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are happy to look after your mom and ensure you are re assured about her wellbeing. Your dad is a lovely husband and we are really pleased to talk to him every time.
Great place, friendly and helpful staff, made Mom feel at home from the start, appears clean and tidy. Rooms are ample, staff tell me they have activities to occupy residents. My mom seems happy and settled now.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very happy to look after your mom and help you be reassured that she is well.
Nursing staff very professional, paperwork up to date. Care plans and relevant forms complete. As a relative, I am not sure who manages care staff on a day to day basis who monitors standards of care. Nurses seem to be in the office all the time, care staff with residents. Some care staff are friendly towards visitors (not many). Communication between care staff and residents when carrying out interactions needs to be improved.
They respond immediately to any concerns that we may have.
Lots of carers always around and excellent nursing staff.
Entertainment staff work hard to stimulate more cognitive clients but still spend time with those who are more challenged.
Very happy with the care my Mum receives.
My mother seems very well cared for and looked after. I enjoy visiting her and the staff always appear friendly and kind.
There are no bad odours in their room or recreation areas. The gardens are quite pleasant to walk around. I visited three or four homes when my wife was admitted ten years ago.
I can't fault this home in care or hygiene. I would recommend it to anybody. (You will be made very welcome).
Nice to feel my mum is safe.
The service is very good - clean, friendly, helpful and well staffed.
