Over all time Dunley Hall & Ryans Court has 32 reviews.
I have always found the staff to be friendly, kind and courteous. My wife is always treated with dignity and respect. On visiting, she is always well presented in clean and fresh clothes and smelling nice. I always go on various days and times and have always been happy with all conditions. We are welcomed and offered tea, coffee, biscuits, etc. Her room is always clean and tidy. I am very happy overall with Dunley Hall.
I have nothing but praise for this home. Set in beautiful surroundings this period home is literally 'home from home'. The wonderful attentive staff make this place a pleasure to visit. My mother, with ever changing needs, has been truly looked after in every way, from walks in the grounds with a member of staff to feeding the birds with her left over crusts from her morning bacon sandwich. Any problems that arise are promptly dealt with professionally and with care and kindness. Entertainment I must say is outstanding, with charity events, sing-alongs, visits from a local playschool, petting animals, outings and even a visit from Santa at the Christmas party.
Friendly attentive staff, residents all seem to be happy and settled. Independence is clearly encouraged and supported where needed, with compassion & dignity. The care home offers a clean environment with homely touches.
We often bring our dog who is welcomed by the staff and enjoyed by the residents.
My wife and I feel very blessed to have found Ryans Court for her. I and the 3 daughters are able to visit whenever convenient for us all and we find her happy and well settled. She sleeps well, and eats well, making most of the good food supplied. She particularly enjoys being wheelchaired around the spacious and well maintained gardens.
Friendly staff. Treat clients with care and respect. Keep visitors informed well. Good activities.
The staff are very attentive to ALL residents and the office staff are always there to discuss any concerns.
The staff have a kind and friendly approach to all visitors and there is always the offer of a cup of tea on arrival.
The entertainment staff work tirelessly to ensure residents have a full calendar of events to attend which often includes family and friends.
Dunley Hall is fantastic the manager and her team supported me through a very difficult time fighting against social services trying to move mum to Worcester to a home not suitable I can never thank you enough for this x Big shout out to all the team that look after mom day to day you really are amazing and thank you for all the fabulous entertainment for the residents you really go above and beyond. Mom especially enjoys the trips you do, breaking her week up for her x Anyone unsure or not happy with their current home please visit Dunley Hall you won't find a better caring and friendly environment for your loved ones. Once again thank you everyone for your kindness to residents and there families.
My parents moved to Dunley Hall in September. The whole experience has been beyond my expectations, they have both settled so well. The care and consideration by the staff is excellent. It's a joy to see my mum and dad so happy and vibrant.
My aunt was treated with dignity, respect and still with maintaining her independence. All the staff were friendly, approachable and professional. She was well looked after during her respite stay and actually improved in the three weeks she was with you. Would definitely recommend.
Since Mum entered Dunley Hall in January 2023, we have been impressed by the hard work of all the staff in caring for her and the other residents. Nothing is too much trouble and several of the staff put themselves out, in all aspects necessary, in running a happy environment.
It is very, very nice to be here. The people here are very nice and I'm very friendly with them. The activities are very good, I put my leg up and down in yoga and I like the singer who comes in to serenade me. I like my room, I've got my telly, my pictures and all of my ornaments so it's very nice. The food is very good, I like it, it doesn't offend me and I don't offend the food. The staff are very, very good. I get on well with the other residents and I've made lots of friends.
I was initially anxious about my aunt going into a home, especially as she was very reluctant, but I have to say I was worrying over nothing as it’s transformed her and given her a new zest for life. The staff are absolutely fantastic, they look after my aunt very well and they are always so welcoming when I go and visit (they even know how I take my cuppa now without me needing to tell them!). The rooms are bright and clean and there are lots of activities for residents to get involved with if they want. My aunt is a new woman and it’s all because of how great this place is. It’s a home away from home for residents and visitors alike. I’m able to visit whenever I like too which is handy with work if I finish late. Highly recommend Dunley Hall and Ryans Court for anyone who is anxious about considering care for a relative.
From my very first day of viewing this wonderful home for my aunty to now, it has lived up to my expectations in all aspects. You couldn't ask for a better place for a loved one to live. The staff are wonderful and caring, they care above and beyond my wishes. The rooms are light, spacious and kept very clean. The entertainment and activities they put on for the residents are amazing too. Thank you to you all, you're all amazing.
We can arrive on any given day, no pre-notice is required and are always made to feel welcome, and a cup of tea/coffee is offered. The home itself is well maintained and exceptionally well run, with lovely grounds and a welcoming feel on entry. We cannot fault the 24x7 care, attention and support given to Mum and how quickly Mum and the team have bonded given her situation. The team cannot do enough to help Mum.
We can only reiterate and support other reviews with regards to staff dedication and commitment, care and support provided, meal provision and overall environment.
We cannot thank the team enough.
Every member of staff at Dunley treated Mum with utmost care and respect. Although she was only there for a short time, she managed to make friends and got to know the staff well. I was always welcome at the home at any time of day and felt that the staff couldn't have been kinder and more supportive to Mum, my husband and myself. Any requests I had were attended to immediately and efficiently so that Mum's needs were always catered for.
The home is very clean and homely, with a lovely family ethos. I cannot thank the whole team at Dunley enough for everything they did for Mum in her last weeks and days.
The carers were so kind and one even stayed over way after her shift had finished to support my family. The home is clean, well kept and updated regularly. I am delighted that we were able to have my mother live here. Well done Dunley and thank you.
From the minute she arrived the staff couldn’t do enough for us as a family and my nan in particular. She has gone from feeling sad and a little bewildered at the prospect of losing her independence to the happiest I have seen her in a long long time. We are so grateful as a family to the amazing team at Dunley.
Dunley Hall is by far the best care home that I have ever set foot in and between my mom and my dad I have seen my fair share over the years. From the level of care, (brilliant staff ) to the food, to the overall ambience of the place. The residents are looked after so well, it's like one big family! I have arrived for a visit at all times due to work commitments and have always been made to feel very welcome. I have even joined in the Bingo and party games! All in all an excellent facility.
The rooms themselves and the facilities on hand are as good as any hotel I have stayed in and the lunch that my uncle was served looked delicious! Everyone I spoke to had nothing but glowing praise for the place and after experiencing it first hand I can see why!
