Overall Experience

Both my parents were in the home until their deaths 4 days apart in November, it’s been a very hard few weeks but I’m very grateful for the care they received. The staff were very good and so was the medical care when needed.

Reply from Courtney Miah, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeThank you so much for your Review it's been lovely. Thank you for all the support you have given the home. Don't forget you're always welcome in for a cup of tea.

The overall experience has been wonderful. It's clean, tidy, members of staff have the residents' best interests at heart. I do not need to worry about my mum.
Thank you to the manager for everything you do for my mum and our close surrounding family. It's been a pleasure.

Review from Helen C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident for approximately 3 months and she has settled in well due to the staff who have all her interests at heart.
They have taken time to get to know her individual needs and whilst they are so very busy they will spend as much time with her as they can.
Mum loves to be as involved

as possible with activities and she has really enjoyed the Valentines, St David’s Day and other themed events. She would love to have more to do particularly at weekends and in the afternoon as these are quieter with less going on.
The staff work so hard and are so friendly and welcoming.
If I had any criticism it would be the facilities - the room Mum has needs some TLC - a lick of paint and a freshen up plus her bathroom lacks a working tap so if these things were given attention then it would be so much better for her.

Reply from Courtney Miah, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeThank you so much Helen, Mum has settled in well and become a big part of the Margaret's family, as for the facilities I can assure you we have a 2-year maintenance plan which has already started, and the plumber has been in over the past two days sorting the issues with the taps. Thank you for your feedback and support we really appreciate it.

Overall Experience

A few hiccups when Mum first went to the home but more due to her stubbornness not letting the staff help her, but since we sorted that issue the staff have been great with communication with me and making Mum feel at home as a resident.

Reply from Courtney Miah, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeThank you Rich, We have certainly built on our relationship and I'm glad we are there, Mum is now a big part of our family. Thank you for your kind words.

Review from Richard A (Son of Resident) published on 23 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This is a hell hole avoid it at all costs. My dad has been left to lie flat in bed with the sides up so he can see nothing. No tv or radio. We purchased a TV for him and an aerial lead, to come to visit him and find out they have taken his aerial lead and again left him to deteriorate with no tv or

radio. He has no stimulation. His feet are left cramped up at end of his bed. No one has tried to get him out of bed, He has been in bed now a year and has seized up. Every time we visit him drink bottle is always empty. Disgrace.

Reply from Courtney Miah, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeHello Richard,
I’m sorry you think this, here at Margaret’s we do things to ensure residents get the best quality care and you had never brought complaints to me, as I said before, Dad's ariel was taken by myself due to it breaking. I also replaced this free of charge and now in his TV and has his TV on every day, also his TV has a timer so may turn off from time to time but care staff ensure it goes back on. Please, I would offer you to come in and have a meeting with us to talk about any other grumbles/concerns you may have. Dad's legs are retracting due to his bed-bound status.
Warmest regards

Review from Donna S (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Where do I start? Firstly, I cannot recommend Margarets Rest Home highly enough. My Mum was one of the longest-serving residents there. Unfortunately, she has recently passed away. The care and kindness that the manager and her amazing team have shown my Mum, me and my sister over the years has been

outstanding. It's always a difficult decision to make when choosing a care home for a relative. Margarets really understand the needs of a dementia patient. Mum was extremely difficult to look after when she first went to the care home, but the staff never gave up on her. Their expert care and understanding was phenomenal and Mum soon settled in. As a family, we felt that Mum was loved and looked after. She certainly felt like part of the Margarets family and you cannot get better than that for your loved one. The manager and the staff attended the funeral. They have shown my sister and I kindness and respect throughout. We will never forget this and thank everyone who loved and cared for Mum.

Reply from Courtney Miah, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeThank you so much for your kind words Donna it really did touch us and mum will never be forgotten she was part of our life and so were you guys, the door is always open for you guys to come in and have a cup of tea. Thinking of you always. Courtney

Overall Experience

The care home is very family orientated and knows how to meet the needs of our family member who has very advanced dementia. Would definitely recommend to future service users and their family members. The staff are fab and the new manager is very welcoming.

Reply from Courtney Miah, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeThank you for your kind words we are working very hard to ensure that service users are getting the best possible care, hope to see you again soon.

Review from Carla W (Niece of Resident) published on 20 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My aunt was staying here for short term respite and I visited weekly. Whilst the home seemed reasonable, and we were grateful for the care provided, my aunt sadly passed away suddenly on Tuesday morning. I understand that these things happen but what has shocked me is that at no point has one member

of staff offered their condolences. I called them about collecting her belongings and my Dad collected them on Friday and never was my aunts passing mentioned. I understand that carers are paid very little. I’ve worked in healthcare for 16 years myself and know it can be a thankless task at times, however, the main reason we do it is because we care about people. I think some basic training is needed here so that staff at least have the grace to say “sorry for your loss”.

Reply from Lisa Tapp, Manager at Margaret's Rest HomeOur sincere condolences go out to the family. We have contacted the next of kin to this effect. We are happy to speak to the author but are waiting for a callback.
