The staff are really good with the residents they were very helpfully when I took my mum in there. My mum loves being in there and made some new friends and she likes all the staff who work there. She has fun with everyone and she has settled really well. She likes to join in with most things.

I thoroughly enjoyed your support with our reminiscence activity the other day and your support in regards to the summer fete is valued.
My mum was taken into Southernwood House in April as emergency care, she was made so welcome by everyone. The staff were so good, friendly and caring.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It is lovely to see how well Mum has settled into the care home.
Dad had been living on his own after my mother passed away and it became clear he could no longer continue and needed to get some personal care. After experiencing various care home, he was finally accepted at Southernwood House where he was treated with dignity and in a truly caring manner from...
The food was good and varied and the residents always seemed to be contented and chatty, for the first time dad seemed to be content making a number of friends.
I can whole heartily recommend Southernwood House to anybody looking for a caring, safe loving home for their loved ones.
Thanks so much for sharing your positive response with us!

Both my mum and dad moved into Southernwood House last November. Both had been living locally at home. My mum has been admitted to hospital so this was an emergency situation for my dad who couldn’t cope at home. The staff at the care home supported not just my parents but for me and my family through this challenging time. Later mum joined dad and they spent the last few months of mums life enjoying each other and more relaxed than they had been for ages now they were comfortable and so well looked after. Dad’s health has improved more than we thought possible. And we believe they have been happy. Dad has a tv in his room so he has a personal space as well as new friends. The staff are very patient and caring.
Ah Julia, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Please accept my apologies for only now having access to this system and being able to reply. It has been a pleasure to be involved in the care of your parents. Best wishes
My wife and I came to visit my mother on 22nd June we are from out of the area, so thought best to ring as we got nearer to check if it was ok to just turn up and also to bring our dog in. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, we were told the residents would love our small dog and yes please...
We did find one of the staff to be very rude which we reported to the manager and she apologised and promised to deal with. The Manager said this is their home and we come here to work and should respect that.
It was lovely to watch how the staff help everyone and we would happily recommend this care home.
This was for palliative care as unfortunately nothing more could be done for him medically.
The staff welcomed him "home" and looked after him as if he were their own father.
Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Not only did they look after Dad but also supported his family through this difficult time.
She stayed here for 7 weeks.
During that time the care given by all the staff was excellent.
All the staff are very friendly, helpful and caring.
As a family, we were sceptical about care homes, but this has happily changed our opinions.

Dear John, thank you for your review, the care and management team will sure appreciate your kind words, these reviews always provide a great morale boost for the hard work and dedication the care team put into their work at Southernwood House.

The support offered to mum and our family has been first class, so much so that we are hoping we can get mum into long-term care at this small and well-run establishment.
Mum (who has Dementia) has settled really well, this, we believe is down to a genuine caring attitude by all staff towards mums specific and personal needs. She is happy.
Thank you for your review, the care team and management appreciate your kind words of support and acknowledgement of the service level. We will strive to ensure that your mum continues to receive the very best of care and support for her long-term care and well-being.
I am extremely pleased with every aspect of care which my mother receives at Southernwood House.

I am extremely pleased with every aspect of care which my mother receives at Southernwood House. All the staff are very kind, caring and friendly, whilst displaying the utmost professionalism at all times. My mother is now nearly 99 years old and has lived at the home for about 3 years. Her needs are very well catered for in every way and she is always treated with kindness and respect for her dignity. The meals provided always look delicious and there is a varied menu for dinner and tea from which to choose every day. My mother is very well looked after and is happy and settled, which gives me much peace of mind. I am very grateful indeed to the manager and all the staff for everything they do. I would not hesitate to recommend Southernwood House to others.
Thank you for your kind words which are gratefully received, your comments will be passed on to the staff and management team at Southernwood House. Recognition of the effort and dedication of the care team will surely give them a morale boost.
Thank You
On bringing my father-in- law to the care home in an emergency, due to my mother-in-law taken to hospital we arrived and were met by two friendly carers and this continued, on arrival we were asked to give details on our father-in-law and we left clothes for him (we were not told to write in them...
We left at 10.30pm and very happy.
Until my father was sent to another care home two days later, we found he had no sock on his feet and just shoes and clothes missing, the follow up on finding the clothes was disarray and one didn't know what the other was doing. My husband was very anxious. Outcome half have been sent back and due to not being named as not told and an emergency, we will not get reimbursed for the two remaining missing.
Wellbeing Care Group takes all complaints very seriously, therefore it is disappointing that you felt the need to rate the care for the 3 Days that your father was in our care as poor, and despite highlighting that the actual care provided by the dedicated care staff was good.

Wellbeing Care Group takes all complaints very seriously, therefore it is disappointing that you felt the need to rate the care for the 3 Days that your father was in our care as poor, and despite highlighting that the actual care provided by the dedicated care staff was good. The missing clothing that you have mentioned had all been dealt with and sent. It is therefore very unfortunate that you have decided to utilise a review to highlight an issue which we had thought had been dealt with. These reviews have an impact on our care and management team, who I believe on this occasion have been rated unfairly on the actual quality of care that had been delivered.
