I find the staff to be very caring. They listen to concerns and are helpful. The home is always clean and smells nice. Staff have always been respectful of my father's needs and act quickly if there is a problem. My sister and I both give this home a very high rating.

Great all round improvement since strong management introduced. The consistency of staff means patients and families are happier. Management are visible and accessible. This is a care home worthy of its name.

Review from Cheryl B (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mother has very complex needs and has always struggled to settle. She has been very settled in George Hythe House and has not had a single hospital admission.
The staff are all very caring and also encourage her to be independent and to make choices. They have a great understanding of dementia and how she needs to be managed to stay happy and calm.

I am confident that she is well cared for. I love the fact that she often gets breakfast in bed and that there is a small lounge and kitchen in each area of the care home making it homely.

Review from Rita C (Wife of Resident) published on 26 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband was given a nice welcome and during his 2 week stay for rehabilitation was treated by an extremely friendly team of carers. They were very kind and very considerate and when he needed medical help, they had his interest at heart. One person "in particular", (a care leader) is extremely helpful with regard to seizures. She was wonderful. I thank them all very much.

Review from E C (Wife of Resident) published on 15 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband moved into Geroge Hythe House in December 2015, he has dementia. The staff are very caring and understand my husband very well. There is a family atmosphere in the home and a lot of affection for residents. The home is well run and the current management team seem very competent and professional. There is regular entertainment and during the summer day trips out. I don't think other care homes could improve on the care given to my husband at George Hythe.

Overall Experience

This is an amazing care home. There are some brilliant staff here who treat my mum like a family member. There's nice home cooked food every day in a homely dining room. There's entertainment in the main lounge every week that you can join in with and they gave mum a birthday party. I'd be happy to stay here someday and my mum is no longer fearful of the idea of staying in a care home.

Overall Experience
My mam has been in George Hythe House since June 2016. It did take her a while to settle in. She has good days and bad days.
The staff are very good and know a hug and a cup of tea and biscuits helps.

When we have a problem at the home we bring it to the attention of staff and management.

Review from Geoffrey M (Husband of Resident) published on 24 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2007 and was admitted full time into George Hythe House in March 2015. She was quickly absorbed into the family atmosphere of the home. The staff clearly pick up on their client's characters in order to maximise their interest in them and their backgrounds.

Clients agreeable to take part in day trips and enjoy visiting entertainers and frequent occasions for celebrations. Staff demonstrated thorough commitment to my wife by going with her on urgent trips to hospital appointments when I was not available. A comprehensive care plan was accessible to me for checking and updating. Staff are well trained, sensitive, courteous, very caring and conduct themselves with good humour at all times. I cannot imagine what a better care home would be like.

My father was in here for several years. He was very happy there. We did have a few problems there but were sorted and we were very happy with. Most of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Staff were very supportive to us when my dad was at the end of life.

George Hythe House cared for my dad for 6 years.

Have been a couple of problems but were corrected immediately. Dad had many problems and illnesses. All needs were met right up to dad's death. Staff couldn't have done any more for him. Lovely care home.

Overall Experience

My dad was at this home for about 6 years, he was very happy here. If ever we had a problem the staff here were always ready to help.

The care he received was very good. There was always something for my dad to do, should he choose to. The staff were always very welcoming when we visited dad.

When my dad passed away in June, we could not have asked for any more of the staff. They were excellent.

Review from C J (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mum is very well cared for at George Hythe House, she is treated kindly and with dignity. Her needs are catered for adequately and safely and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The home is purpose built and the rooms are pleasant and roomy. Residents are encouraged to join in activities in the lounge and day trips are organised on a regular basis for those residents able to take part. Staff undertake regular training. There is the excellent Holmfield Day Centre on the same site which some residents are able to attend. There is a regular routine at the home which I feel benefits the residents. Hairdressing, Chiropody and Optical services are available. My Mum has always been happy at the home and appreciates the support and company she receives.

Review from Vicky L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My grandad has been well looked after since moving into George Hythe House. Carers maintain his routine by taking him out when he chooses, making sure he has his morning newspaper, which is very important to my grandad's routine. Staff and residents have made my grandad feel so welcome and comfortable.

Review from Mary K (Wife of Resident) published on 25 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My husband was at George Hythe House for two weeks respite. It was the first time he had been for respite. We had looked at quite a few different care homes which were either unsuitable or a waiting list. The first time I went to George Hythe I was impressed with the atmosphere, a calming happy feeling. My husband is quite difficult and didn't settle for the first few nights but the staff were very good and did not mind me ringing up at least once a day. The activities for the residents helped my husband and the closeness to the day centre which meant he could carry on attending there. I liked the idea each room had a 'front' door with a bell, the kitchens for each area meant meal times were more like family times instead of the large dining rooms we had seen before. My husband is returning in May for another visit and I am happy that he will settle and be well looked after making it easier for me to have my 'respite'.

Reply from Kirsty Youngs, Manager at George Hythe House Residential Care Home

We are all looking forward to your husband coming to stay again - it will be a pleasure to have him. Thank you for your lovely comments I will pass these on to the staff.
