Review from M R (Respite Resident) published on 25 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I’ve been treated, amazingly. So warm and welcoming. The food is tasty and varied, with plenty of choices. For breakfast, there's a choice of cooked, or cereal, fruits etc, dinners are always freshly made, with sandwiches/soup for tea time and cups of tea in between. Rooms are kept clean daily. Staff can't seem to do enough for you, whatever you need, there's a friendly face ready to help, and nothing is ever a problem.

Review from Linda M (Wife of Resident) published on 7 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I always find my husband clean and cared for, as happy as can be.
I know they do activities but never there when they are doing them, so not sure if and when they are.
It was recently his birthday and they made a great effort in his celebrations.

Love the fact the home never smells.

Overall Experience
My mum is very happy at George Hythe.
Over the last 6 months there have been so many improvements to the decoration and furnishings within the home making it much more welcoming and brighter.
Staff are always so helpful and friendly.

The activities for residents are so varied and provide lots of fun and stimulation for all who can take part.

Review from R W (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We've been unable to visit our relatives within the home for almost 12 months due to the pandemic. We have been allowed window visits which are as unsatisfactory and unsociable as they are emotional and uncomfortable. But with no alternative being made available we have had to accept this. I do feel however that some facility could have been arranged to enable safe visiting indoors had the will of management been there for us all.

We needed respite care urgently and the staff responded immediately. My mum in law was given a room the same day. Staff were welcoming, kind and caring. I am so grateful for the help we received.

Overall Experience

My mother has recently become a permanent resident at George Hythe House after several respite stays. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the care and compassion they have shown both my mother and myself at this difficult time. They continue to provide excellent care which, I witness on a daily basis, and their friendliness and openness is wonderful. Thank you.

Overall Experience

The staff at this home are so caring. They are a credit to their employer. My mum has been in the home for around four years and it's just like a home from home. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff to make her life comfortable.

Thank you for the lovely review. It's a pleasure to have your mum with us.

Review from Tammy W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 8 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A truly amazing, professional yet actually caring home for my gran. I cannot fault anything the staff are wonderful professional people. My gran had a fall and all the staff kept her dignity, privacy and was so professional and caring with her. They check on her all the time, where she is and how she is. They have fantastic entertainment and the residents have the freedom to go anywhere they want they even get a wheelchair when needed. It really is person-centred. The best home in our opinion. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience

My wife visited George Hythe House for one week of respite care and settled very quickly. She requires a high level of care due to her many disabilities resulting from Alzheimer's disease and I was very pleased with everything that the home provided. She will soon be returning for a 2-week stay which speaks for itself!

Overall Experience

Mum moved in October following a hospital stay. She moved from Bournemouth to Leicester. Her experience has been excellent and her health has improved since being cared for. The staff are encouraging and respectful and she has settled well. Whilst there, she has been poorly on a couple of occasions and they have been there straight away to take care of her.

Review from M H (Son of Resident) published on 28 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Have always found the carers to be of a very high standard, caring and compassionate.
They have always treated mum as a family member.

The only problem seems to be clothes disappearing even when marked.

They do always re-appear. We are looking into other identification systems to trial.

Overall Experience

Very happy with care provided. Very attentive staff. Friendly and cheerful. Good food. Daily entertainment and interactions. Comfortable rooms with en-suite.

I find the value for money question a rather prickly question.
If an individual's fees are being paid by the state, then truly excellent value.

Individuals paying their own fees may view things differently.

This is not to be taken as a slight on George Hythe House.

Vicky is the Registered Manager at George Hythe House and has been working there for a whopping 20 years! She knows her home better than anyone and is a fabulous manager who knows her staff and residents like family.

When asked, Vicky said her staff would describe her as firm but fair, which we have seen to be true in the well-organised and fiercely proud team that she has created.

When not at work, you would normally find Vicky spending time with her little girl where she enjoys going out for meals, specifically a cheeky Nando's & trips out bowling! If not, she would be at home with her cat, Gismo. Vicky's favourite Quote: "Fly like a bird, sting like a bee"
