My Aunt was at Dunley for the last two weeks of her life and I cannot rate them highly enough. I was allowed to stay with her for her last days and overnight and witnessed the most incredible care from the day team and night teams not just with my Aunt but with other residents to 24/7. The patience displayed by staff was second to none, they were so caring. They also looked after me and treated me as part of the team. My Aunt had been in a much smarter, more expensive home for a while but everything was show, the building, the food - Dunley has the right emphasis on care, the most important thing and provides great value plus delicious home-cooked food. There is a great atmosphere due to the staff getting on well together and working as a team. Supported by District Nurses they were able to deliver end of life care for my Aunt in a safe and loving situation. She was lucky to be there.
I had to rush my father into care the latter part of 2018 and could not have asked for more understanding and compassion that both myself and my father received on admittance to Dunley Hall. The staff could not do enough to make sure he was settled and my mind put at ease. Whenever I visit, I am always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Dad is not the easiest to care for and does provide challenges but I never hear complaints from the staff who do their utmost to care for him. It is evident that the staff really do care about the residents with me often finding them sitting and chatting to them and providing compassion and reassurance when needed. The atmosphere is lovely - a clean, welcoming home set in lovely grounds for the residents to enjoy. Dad is settled and now looks on Dunley Hall as his home.
This is a very friendly home, always made most welcome and the staff are all so lovely. They are more like friends you can always talk to them. My mom feels safe here and doesn't complain about anything which is a good feeling to me.
My sist is very well cared for, in spite of her problems.
The home itself is clean, full of character, warm and welcoming. The entire building always smells fresh and is a pleasure to visit.
Staff here appear to be friendly, at ease, happy in their work. Care is therefore provided with a smile and feels genuine and professional. The residents are always well dressed, as though time and care have been taken by staff, to maintain an individuals dignity and personality.
Bedrooms are basic but clean and tidy, many with really pretty views.
Recently security has been upgraded and as such, the entrance doors are now secured to prevent "wanderings".
Xmas activities were plentiful, varied and really well received by the residents.
All in all, this is a beautifully presented home, that feels warm and caring for residents and for visitors. I would imagine it would be difficult to find a better care facility.
A total pleasure to visit. Every time.
My father, now 94, has been a resident for 2 months and I'm pleased to have this opportunity to reflect my very positive view of the care being provided at all levels. The staff are a credit to their vocation, always demonstrating sincere, genuine care and concern for residents and visiting family alike.
Since her move to Dunley Hall, the change in her demeanour has been remarkable. She always looks well cared for and is visibly happy and content. She loves the gardens at Dunley Hall which are extremely well kept and also the wildlife she can see through the window.
I have used Dunley Hall for almost 2 years in connection with/for my partner.
I find staff helpful and friendly each time I visit (at least every 4/5 days) and at varying times. It is never an effort to see staff and I have rarely been in any communial room when a member of staff in not also in there.
Super quality furnishings do not make up for caring carers of the standard I have experienced here.
My partner is not stressed and is comfortably at ease and bantering with all the staff.
Lovely care. Feels at home. Sleeps well. My mother has a friend she shares a room with. People are very polite.
I appreciate being able to visit at any time. The staff always appear friendly and helpful. My wife seems happy.
When visiting my mother at Dunley Hall, I have always found it a very pleasant place to visit with friendly and helpful members of staff. My mother has been in Ryans Court part of Dunley Hall for four years and she is very happy there and feels very secure and looked after in everyway.
Our experience as a family was always very positive. My mother was always very happy and loved all the carers who became her friends. Nothing was ever too much trouble whatever time of day or night. We always felt totally confident that mum was in safe caring hands. Any questions, I could always talk to the managers and they would sort out any problems. My mother had a few weeks at Dunley Hall for respite care and always told me if she ever needed to go anywhere permanently then it would be Dunley Hall. It was a decision she never regretted.
