Ecclesholme

I needed a safe and caring environment for support following major surgery. Ecclesholme provided exactly what I needed, and has set me on my way for a successful recovery. I couldn't have had better.

Staff go over and above. Always professional, caring and cheery. Treat my Dad with dignity, respect and compassion. Christmas party for residents and family was well organised, welcoming and a great way to build happy memories with my Dad.

Great caring staff.

Very impressed from the start. All problems (if any) solved immediately. Seem very caring to patients, and all very willing.

I am happy with the staff at Ecclesholme.

Could do with more activities for the residents though.

The care home is very good. I am extremely pleased with the service. The staff are caring and look after my Mum very well. Always keeping me up to date on everything concerning Mum's state of health.

I visit my husband almost daily, unannounced and at varied times. I am always happy with the care provided. The staff are always polite and helpful, very caring and patient with the residents. However, I think it would be good to have more activities, singing etc., as this seems to engage the elderly with dementia illness, instead of sleeping for a lot of the time.

We have been very happy with everything at the home, seeing our mother happy is the main thing. She joins in with most activities when she can. She is always clean with clean clothes and hair is done by hairdresser every fortnight and occasionally she has a perm. The staff are always pleasant and have patience with them, they seem to care for them as if they were their own family.

My mum has been a resident of Ecclesholme for the last three years. I visit every day and it is a pleasure to be there. My mum is so very happy and well cared for, and when I leave her it is a tremendous comfort to know I leave her in safe hands. The kitchen is well run, everything is prepared in house and all dietary requirements catered for, with a very varied menu. There is a regular exercise class and further activities planned for the coming year. All in all, a very well run home.

Our mum has dementia and has been at Ecclesholme since March 2019. Mum loves her surroundings which are beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff are very gentle and caring and understand the needs of each resident. They have varied entertainment where they are included and encouraged. Mum loves the food and is happy being there. We have only had one problem when Mum first went into Ecclesholme due to changeover in doctor and Mum's medication, but all that is sorted now and all is well.

My mother receives excellent care at Ecclesholme. All members of staff make an effort to know her and us as a family. She sees a doctor when necessary and a chiropodist and optician regularly. All her needs are taken care of eg., her room is always clean (thanks to housekeeping staff), her hair is always tidy (thanks to the hairdresser), her clothes are always clean (thanks to the laundry staff). She receives regular meals of high quality (I know this as we have eaten with her) and the catering staff know what she likes. Relatives and friends are always made very welcome by staff. If I was to pick a problem it would be that other residents can wander into her room.

I have looked after my husband 24/7 who suffers from Alzheimer's for over 6 years and it was only when I was admitted to hospital that it became obvious that I could no longer give him the care that he needed at home with me. He has, and still is, a Free Mason for over 30 years so I decided to contact Ecclesholme where I found them friendly, supportive and helpful. Making the decision to put my husband into full time, residential, care was very hard, but he settled very quickly and is happy in his surroundings. The staff are so kind and caring that I know I made the right choice. When you put the care of a loved one into someone else's hands it is a great responsibility and you are putting a great deal of trust in them. Whenever I go to see him I can see the care and kindness is always there.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I am very happy with the care provided by Ecclesholme for my mam and feel she is well looked after and all the staff do a marvellous job.

Ecclesholme is a very friendly well-organised care home. The staff (I have met lots of them) are all very friendly regardless of my dad's mood! If they don't know anything when I've asked they find out, nothing is too much trouble. I have seen several other care homes in Great Manchester area with my in-laws being residents, this is by far the best I have seen.

We have nothing but praise for Ecclesholme and no complaints.

We are really pleased dad has settled into Ecclesholme so well. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We have defiantly made the right choice in a care home for dad.

The home has a wide variety of activities which my mum seems to enjoy.

Ecclesholme is the absolute epitome of what a care home should be, the care is given with love and preserves the dignity of the resident. The staff are regularly updated by the courses and are efficient and courteous. The environment is homely and kept scrupulously clean, the meals are varied and delicious whilst being attractively presented. Activities are planned to keep the residents mentally and physically stimulated.
