Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this Care Home enough. I knew the moment I walked in this was the place that our Amazing Mum of 95 years young would be happy, secure and well looked after. My expectations haven't been disappointed.
Staff from all departments welcome you with a smile and a friendly face and nothing

is too much trouble.
All staff are well trained and knowledgeable about their residents needs. The staff and Management really do care about their residents and make a great team in providing the highest level of support to our Mums wellbeing.
Alderwood is in a beautiful setting with lovely gardens. Everything from the food to the housekeeping and the bedrooms are of a good standard. The range of activities on offer is also varied and of a high standard and fully inclusive.
A wonderful team providing a wonderful service. What more can a family ask for when entrusting their most precious possession into the care of others.

We are so very happy with the care service for our mother. It's a beautiful home , the gardens , dining room and all bedrooms are kept to a very high standard. The staff are lovely and treat all the residents with the utmost respect. The entertainment is brilliant, which is needed to stimulate

all residents and make them feel young again. I would highly recommend this care home , my mother and the other residents have their dignity restored as old age and medical conditions robs them of so much.

Overall Experience

My Mum has recently moved into Alderwood. She has mental & physical health needs. She's been struggling living by herself for over a year and arrived at Alderwood in a bad way. In just a short space of time and being properly looked after we are amazed how well she now seems. She's genuinely happy &

settled. My Mum has clicked well with the staff and feels at ease with them. She trusts them and allows them to look after her. It's a casual atmosphere around the place which is great. The staff are all extremely friendly & helpful. Everyone is on the ball and communication is spot on. It's just what my Mum was needing. She's enjoying the environment, the staff, the food and having her hair done. We were worried about Mum going into a care home and the implications. Turns out Mum has embraced it as a positive move, enjoying the perks and treats it like an all inclusive holiday. Many thanks to Alderwood and staff. We are thankful.

Overall Experience

My first experience of Alderwood Care Home was a visit to my mother's home to assess her suitability to go into care at the home. It was carried out by the manager and a member of staff, who were very professional explaining the facilities and answering all our queries. Even at this stage, my mother

was made to feel that Alderwood would be a happy and settled environment. Now, seven months later I can honestly say that the whole experience of such a life-changing step has changed my mother's outlook on life and has enhanced her confidence with both the staff and other residents. The home is always clean and the staff are always welcoming with a chat and a smile. All her health needs are met, both physically and mentally. I would definitely recommend Alderwood Care Home to anyone.

Alderwood Residential Care Home has provided exceptional care and comfort for my mother, who is 100 years old this month. The staff are incredibly attentive, compassionate and treat residents with genuine respect and dignity. They go above and beyond to ensure a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly

All staff are very supportive to the residents and their families. It offers a home from home environment which is

essential for the residents sense of belonging and for them to be settled. The residents are very well cared for by all the staff in every way by the friendly staff.

Review from Caroline P (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad was admitted to Alderwood Care Home in March 2023 from hospital after becoming acutely unwell and this exacerbated his pre-existing dementia. He was unable to live at home with my mum as he was unable to maintain a safe environment and needed help with all activities of daily living.
From

the first moment we looked around the care home, there was a warm, calm, welcoming and homely feel. Dad moving into a care home was a huge shock and upset for our family and very distressing for my mum. The staff at the care home have been wonderful in ensuring our family feel welcome and supported during this transition. Nothing has ever been too much trouble. All staff at the care home have taken the time to get to know Dad, his likes/dislikes, routines and are always kind, gentle, thoughtful, compassionate and respectful.
My family and I feel complete confidence that Dad is safe and receiving the best care. We are so thankful to all the staff at Alderwood for everything they do.

Overall Experience

Mum went into Alderwood for respite when Dad was in hospital and remained there as a result of his ongoing ill health and her own problems with dementia. She was very happy there and the care the girls gave her was first-class. The Manager was supportive of both her, my dad and me during a very difficult

time and as the end came, couldn't have been more respectful. I would recommend Alderwood to anyone facing the difficult decision for their own family members.

My dad first went to Alderwood in November 2022 for respite care whilst my mum had been admitted to hospital. However, as my mum struggled with her own health my sister and I had to make a very difficult decision to ask if my dad could become a full-time resident. The manager was absolutely amazing

to help us make this decision. She has a fabulous team of carers who provide the best possible care for my dad to make everyday the best he could possibly hope living apart from my mum.
My sister and I really can't thank everyone at Alderwood enough for the hard work, help, support and most important the laughter they bring to my dad every single day.
Thank you so much and keep up the great work, we really do appreciate it!

Overall Experience

Deciding to move Dad into Alderwood was one of the hardest we have had to make. At the same time, Mum was critically ill in hospital.
We were reassured by the manager and her caring and professional team that they would take good care of Dad, allowing us to focus on Mum.
As time passed, Dad settled

in very well and is so happy with the care he is receiving.
Recently we celebrated my Mum and Dad's 88th birthday and their 66th wedding anniversary. Alderwood were absolutely amazing, arranging birthday teas for them in the Teapot Room, decorating it with balloons, bunting and flowers.
Alderwood staff have gone over and above to make these family events so very special, giving the family wonderful memories.
It's not just the special occasions, on every visit to see Dad, we are met with caring, happy and professional staff. Now we can truly relax, safe in the knowledge that Alderwood are taking excellent care of Dad. And he is thriving too, which is priceless.
Amazing Alderwood staff.

Overall Experience

When the time finally came for us to place Mum into care it was very difficult and emotional. The staff at Alderwood Care Home made it that bit easier. They were very supportive and caring. Over the last twelve months, we have had some ups and downs with Mum's health but through it, all the staff have

been there not only looking after Mum but us as well, going that extra mile. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it can be for them but they keep smiling and providing a great level of care to all residents. Although Mum doesn’t really get involved in the activities from what I see, the other residents really enjoy the crafts, music, days out and games that are available throughout the week. All of the staff take time out to chat to all the residents making them feel safe and secure in what must be a very frightening time in their lives. Thank you.

When choosing a home for your elderly parents is the most worrying time of your life, am I doing the right thing or the wrong thing and you do start to question yourself, even felt I had failed my dad and it is only now that I see I was only failing to keep him at home with me! My dad is so happy here

and the staff are amazing and always willing to go that extra mile. The home itself is immaculately clean and my dad says the food is amazing, he even goes out on days out to watch shows or even the zoo. As a family, we have never looked back and if my dad could now come home, I don’t think he would. First-class care, cleanliness and friendliness, thank you to Alderwood and your amazing team.
