every Resident with kindness and respect. There is plenty going on for the residents to participate in and the staff are always on hand and happy to go the extra mile whenever needed. There is a homely feel to The Bungalow and staff readily engage with Residents and visitors alike. I am more than happy with the standard of care Mum receives and feel the staff have become extended family.

I'm a Youth Worker at a local High School and every week I take a group of pupils to visit the residents of The Bungalow. It genuinely is the highlight of our week! The pupils are so excited to catch up with their friends in the home and they get so much from interacting with them. So far we've...

My mother has been at The Bungalow for a couple of years now and I cannot commend it enough! The staff truly provide personalised care and know my mother really well. They have supported her through ill health and are always kind, patient and truly caring. Staffing levels are good and the staff turnover is very low which to me indicates the staff are happy too, which is so important. Individual needs like clothing preferences, daily routines, meal choice (excellent home cooked food!) and activities are always individualised. The Bungalow is a lovely, cosy care home, it's well run and most importantly I feel my mum is safe and extremely well cared for.
It means a great deal to the whole team to know that your mother feels safe, well cared for, and truly at home at The Bungalow.
All staff are friendly and helpful all the time.The staff always have time for any questions or requests. All the staff treat the residents with kindness and humour and cater to their every need. I wouldn't want my mother at any other care home than here because I feel she's very safe here.

My mum stayed at The Bungalow for 20 months until she passed away at 100 years old. She was looked after with the utmost care by the amazing staff right to the end. I cannot fault this care home. Everything about it is just perfect. The room, activities, home-cooked food, but most of all the staff. They truly are amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. They treated her with dignity and care. We love them all and will miss not seeing them regularly.

Thank you for your lovely review! It was our pleasure to look after your mum. She was a little fighter till the end. We will always remember her smile and the conversations we had with her. When there was rugby on and your mum didn't know about it, there was always one member of our staff to remind her about it and she loved it! We will miss playing bingo with her and also seeing her eating all these chocolate rolls!
All our staff will miss your mum and you. You are always welcome in our home for a brew and biscuits! You are all such a loving family. We look forward to seeing you again!

I would recommend this care home to anyone who needs to put a loved one in a home and they can do it with absolutely no doubt they will be cared for like they are family.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! I will make sure that the staff are made aware of your thoughts. I am sure it will make their day!
It makes me so proud of my staff to hear such great responses to the hard work and dedication that they put into their role every time they step into work.
I do hope that you carry on having a great experience at The Bungalow!

Thank you very much for your review. We are so happy that your mum is enjoying our services!
We have consulted with the management team and residents to renew our activities as this seems to be an area that needs attention. We have now incorporated many new activities such as;
Knitting classes once a week by an external knitting teacher.
We are organising a family fun day in December.
We are booking in an Alpaca visit.
We have some new trips to the pub, local garden centres, shopping etc dependant on resident preferences.
We now have a keyboard player every 2 weeks.
We have a magician coming in December and we are booking a comedian for early next year.
We are also bringing back visits from the reptile show.
We will publish the dates in reception. Families are welcome to all entertainer visits.
Thank you for your valued opinion. We do appreciate the feedback as it helps us see where we are doing well and where we need to improve!

Thanks for the great review it is much appreciated! Your mum is a part of the furniture we would not know what to do without her. She brightens up everyone's day and makes me laugh with her cheeky comments!
We will work on the activities as I noticed you gave us 4/5. I will sit down with management to review the activity list and speak to the residents at the next resident meeting to see if we can get some different ideas together. If you can think of anything, let us know we welcome all ideas big and small.
See you around the home soon. Thank you!
She has recently been very poorly and spent a night in hospital but we have...
I didn’t think a care home could be like this as you hear awful stories, but I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
We will endeavour to keep on looking after her as best as possible and I will pass your fantastic comments to the staff. Thank you!

As a family we were very concerned that Dad had to go into a care home, however, the Bungalow is more than that, it’s a home, with such caring staff. It’s remarkable the care they give to make loved ones feel at home, loved and cherished. Individual rooms can be decorated and furnished with treasured possessions. The food is excellent, home-cooked and a real highlight. Activities are plentiful from day trips to flower arranging, and visits from singers to animals. Visiting is always welcome. A brilliant home with brilliant staff.
If you would like to propose any changes or any ideas on how to improve our service, please let us know!

I arrived here unable to mobilise without the use of a wheelchair. This establishment has quickly allowed me to become mobile without the use of any mobility aid, except a walking stick. The staff have always supported me in a specific way and have given me the opportunity to improve my health and my mobility. I cannot recommend this facility enough and anyone requiring residential care should seriously consider this excellent facility.

My dad moved into The Bungalow nearly 5 months ago. From the day he moved in he's been made to feel truly special and I am made to feel very welcome whenever I visit. To anyone faced with the important decision of their loved one moving into full-time care, I can't recommend The Bungalow enough - it is a wonderful place to be! I now have a peace-of-mind that I didn't before knowing that he is safe and well cared for. It is also the perfect sized home for my dad. Some of the other homes I viewed were just too big to feel homely and I feared my dad would have got lost. At least here he hasn't far to walk between rooms. He is enjoying the company of others and the entertainment at the home which includes singers and armchair keep-fit means he is stimulated and happy in a way that he hadn't been for a long time. Being at The Bungalow has given my dad a new lease of life. The owner and his staff are wonderful. They are hardworking, caring and loyal. I can't thank them enough!
