Over all time George Hythe House Residential Care Home has 56 reviews.
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.
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.
Thank you for reviewing George Hythe House and for your kind words recognising the hard work our team does. We are extremely proud of our home and team at George Hythe House. The manager has introduced monthly newsletters which highlight the activities and upcoming special events. Feedback will be shared so you are included and I will pass your comments on to the rest of the team.
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.
Thank you for reviewing George Hythe House and for your kind words recognising the improvements made over the past few months. We are extremely proud of our home and team at George Hythe House. It is a pleasure to look after your mother. I will pass your comments on to the rest of the team.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the lovely review. The staff will be really pleased.
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!
Care good.
Love living here.
George Hythe family.
The care and attention we receive is second to none.
Care very good.
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.
Staff very welcoming and pleasant. Homely atmosphere.
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.
Very good Christmas entertainment provided to which family members could attend. All the staff were very helpful and it was a pleasure for all who attended.
Thanks for attending, it was lovely to see so many families.
I have always noticed the care and patience of the staff.
Food and residency excellent and would definitely come again.
Good day activities.
It was a pleasure having you stay and hope to see you again.
A comfortable facility with friendly, accessible staff, well situated for me to visit.
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"

Ishani is an amazing Administrator who plays a key role in keeping the home running smoothly. Highly organised and dependable, she ensures day-to-day operations are well managed. Alongside her efficiency, Ishani is also very creative and enjoys taking time to paint with residents, bringing joy and meaningful moments to the home.
