The Troc has a Review Score of 9.1 (9.149) out of 10, based on 15 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time The Troc has 61 reviews.
Thank you to all the staff for looking after my husband in such a phenomenal way. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and the staff are the most caring and thoughtful people. I have made friends and close bonds with both staff and residents and I have so many amazing memories that have been created at The Troc.
Initially booked Dad in for respite as I was going away for a couple of weeks. But as he was getting too hard to handle at home with his vascular dementia, I booked him in a few weeks earlier. I visit most days, and to the credit of the staff there, he has never asked to come home. He looks well looked after, and his needs are met. Everyone there is pleasant and helpful, and nothing is too much. I would highly recommend the Troc to anyone that requires such services.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, very much appreciated, its really nice to hear that your dad has settled in at the Troc. i will pass on your comment to the team and thank you again for your kind words
The staff went out of their way to find activities that my partner enjoyed and made sure these were included in the daily routine. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making everyone feel comfortable and involved.
The home is always clean and tidy, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, We appreciate all feedback, i know myself and the team would happily welcome your partner back anytime, i'll make sure your kind words are shared with the team.
I always ask for me to go to Troc when my husband and daughter go on my husband restbite break. It is a lovely place we are all looked after the food is lovely and plenty of it. I usually stay in my room because I like to read but someone always about if I require them.
Thank you so much for your kind words, myself and my team pride ourselves on giving the best care possible. We appreciate all feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to The Troc.
Mum could not be more grateful for the care she received at the troc and only praised all of the care staff at the home. Mum also mentioned that the home manager popped in daily to ask how things were and she appreciated this. We also extended her stay for a further five days and found the troc very accommodating to enable us to do this.
I'm glad to hear your mum felt welcomed and well cared for during her stay at The Troc, especially at what must have been a stressful time for your family. It's really nice to hear she spoke so highly of the care team and appreciated the manager...
Cooperative,informative and caring.
There are plenty of activities with lots of music. Her room is spacious and always clean.
As she has dementia it is impossible for us to judge her thoughts but she appears happy..
As a plus she eats well and is always hydrated
A happy her for her and a reassurance for me.
Its really nice to hear that your wife has been well looked after during her time at The Troc. Im glad the team have been supportive and that you feel reassured by the care she receives.
Its also lovely to hear shes enjoying the activities and...
My farther in law is in there he does not look happy everyone is just sitting there half of them are asleep. All they care about is money and the price to stay there is expensive they hold on to his bank card like it's there's if we want to take him out at the weekend we can't because there is no management there to give him his card or any money so he can go shopping or go out for the day. He used to be clean shaven now he is growing a beard and he says he no longer wants to stay there. Had a meeting recently with his social worker at the troc well that went bad we wanted to talk about him all that wanted to talk about was money just show's all they care about not them it's getting there hands on the money please don't let a family member go there we did what a BIG mistake
The Troc staff are friendly and approachable. The office staff are always friendly and helpful when answering any emailed queries. Housekeeping keep The Troc clean and tidy and odour-free. Mother (resident) has the hairdresser spruce up her hair every week making her feel and look good. Chiropodist sorts her feet out once a month. All Mother's needs are catered for and we feel she is being well looked after.
My mum is in The Troc at the time of writing this review. She has settled in with the care and help of the lovely staff and other residents. Mum enjoys her meals, and the daily activities. Mum's room is on the ground floor looking out at the garden and seating area, which is lovely. The Troc is lovely and clean and all the staff from the manager down are friendly and attentive.
The care home is a lively, well-run place. It is clean, has good facilities and there are daily events for the residents. The staff are very friendly and I must say that I was very impressed by the patience and compassion of the staff.
Very friendly all staff. Nice and clean. Good food for residents, excellent choice of food. All staff are very easy to approach if we have any questions or need any help. It feels like a big extended family.
Excellent carers, all very attentive to my mum. Good entertainment daily and activities. Excellent variety of meals daily. Rooms very spacious, well-maintained, painted and decorated lovely. Security is a must and always adhered to.
In the 2 weeks he was at this facility, he lost a lot of weight, became immobile and looked unkept, wearing other residents' clothing and other residents had my father's clothes on. My father suffered horrific neglect due to the fact he was not able to communicate and tragically he died a few days after leaving this 'so called' care home.
This facility had an extension which doubled the capacity of residents it could hold. This opened at the beginning of March 2024. They did not have the staff to cope with the influx of residents. CQC did a report in January 2024 which gave them a 'good' rating. I literally begged the CQC to re-inspect this facility due to the changes but they didn't. Appalling!
Thier hard work, empathy and love will never be forgotten.
Thank you for your lovely words. Your dad was an amazing kind, loving gentleman; he was adored by all. We will remember his many stories.
The Troc was the only home we looked around and felt it to be a good choice for our Mum. The management staff were open and honest when answering our questions. We were showed a beautiful light and airy room with an en-suite bathroom in the new extension. All the care staff greeted us with a polite hello and took the time to speak with Mum too. It was apparent that the residents were treated with great respect and the care and attention given by all staff members was reassuring to see.
Now four months later Mum is settled and has made some nice friendships and loves all her carers. There will always be teething problems when you are expected to live with total strangers. However, the staff work really hard to make every resident feel valued, special and included.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Our staff pride themselves in looking after our residents and means a great deal to us all when we get a great review. Registered manager
The Troc Care Home staff are very welcoming, friendly, attentive and competent. The management are efficient well organised and proactive. The recent new wing is a welcome addition, modern and well laid out. The older parts of the care home building need modernising and finishing.
The first time I visited The Troc was shortly after my husband had been admitted from the hospital, and within minutes, I weighed up the standard of care, watching the way the staff interacted with the residents, and knew it was the best.
I escorted my husband via ambulance to get his pacemaker checked, and when we returned, I pushed him inside in his wheelchair, and he said to me - ‘this is a nice place, isn’t it’; that meant the world to me. Everyone employed at The Troc is the best, and that is what makes it excellent.
Thank you for your lovely review. The Troc try to ensure all residents are treated with dignity and respect from the minute they step into our home to ensure they feel welcome and cared for.
Dad moved to The Troc end of November 2021 due to declining health with Parkinson’s and a hip fracture. The team at The Troc were welcoming and friendly helping Dad adjust to his new surroundings and also helping us as a family transition to the change of Dad being in full-time care - a change that was difficult for us all. The carers are wonderful with Dad accommodating his specific needs and his reluctance to socialise and conform, his stubbornness, pain, and anxiety can make some days difficult for Dad, the family, and the care team, but they always treat him and us with such compassion and care. The Troc is a home from home and the decor is not the most salubrious but the care is exceptional and for us that is the most important thing. When Covid outbreaks happened in 2022 the team made sure we had regular updates and answered our calls and questions with patience and clarity. The staff always welcome us with a smile and management are visible, approachable, and available.
Thank you for your kind and honest review, we are so pleased you are happy with the care your dad receives at The Troc we endeavour to give the best possible.
The care my mother-in-law gets from The Troc is exceptional, the staff are brilliant, they make her feel special, and she is so happy there she calls it home. When she first went into The Troc in January she was so ill we thought we would lose her, the staff gave us peace of mind in the care and attention they gave her as well as looking after the other residents. They make each resident feel special and it's that care that turned my mother-in-law's life around and each time we visited her we saw a vast and positive improvement and thanks to the staff and management of The Troc she is well and we have peace of mind knowing she is safe and well looked after.
Thank you so much for your kind words, myself and team pride ourselves on the care we give to each and every resident your comments are very much appreciated. Thank you also for all the support you give to the resident and the home.
I absolutely love this care home for my mum xx the whole staff/maintenance are just amazing always going above and beyond with excellent care. The home always smells lovely and clean. Mum is always given a choice of meals, to pick from. They have a range of activities, and to have her hair done. And to have a choice on how she would like her room decorated. Mum also loves her showers
Thank you, Janine, for your review. We as a team are passionate about the care we give to our residents to ensure we maintain their dignity and respect at all times.
