I visit weekly and from entering to leaving the staff are so friendly and efficient. They tend to the residents as though they are their own family. The home is clean throughout with various rooms and a lovely garden area to either share or have privacy. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Overall opinion is good. Not been many activities lately due to having no Alf for a long time but hopefully will improve when new Alf starts. Always kept fully informed of dad's situation. Seniors happy to answer or discuss any issues.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you feel informed and supported. We're pleased to let you know that we now have a new ALF in place, so activities are back up and running. We hope your dad enjoys taking part and that it brings even more fun and engagement to his days!

I am pleased that my father is now residing at Wellcroft Care Home. I visit most days and I am impressed with the way the establishment is run. Importantly the staff are ever helpful, caring and extremely professional in undertaking their tasks. It is because of knowing my father is being well looked after that I can take comfort from him not being at his own home. Wellcroft has become a better environment than he had due to the quality of the people who work there.

During his stay he has always been treated with respect and great care (even when he is difficult). Even the housekeeping staff look after his well-being during their tasks. The activities are usually tailored to the periods he recalls.

Thank you so much for your review of Wellcroft. We are delighted to hear that your loved one is receiving such respectful and attentive care at Wellcroft, even in challenging times. It is great to hear that our housekeeping team also contributes to his wellbeing, and that our activities resonate with his memories.

Absolutely great service from all staff. I would recommend people put this place as their first choice. The food is excellent, the residents have plenty of snacks, tea and coffee in between meals and when families are visiting they are offered drinks and snacks. I can't praise the staff enough.

My mum seems as happy as she can be. The carers are friendly, understand my mum's needs and are attentive to those and and are open to me asking a couple of questions now and again. I also like the way Wellcroft do a little a bit extra for things such as recently for Halloween. I understand security is very important, but I wish there was an easier way to get in/out of the building when I visit as sometimes I may be waiting for up to 10 minutes; however I do understand staff are busy and that I tend to call in early evenings when there is less staff about (an idea might be individual passcodes for frequent visitors such as myself, whereby you'd also know when I arrived/left). On the non-care admin side, appreciation to a staff member for her timely assistance when needed.
Since Mum moved into the home in August the care she has received has been good. The staff deserve medals for the job that they do. Our only area of concern is that Mum doesn’t always get the one-to-one attention that she needs when eating her meals. We know this may be difficult at times as there...
Since Mum moved into the home in August the care she has received has been good. The staff deserve medals for the job that they do. Our only area of concern is that Mum doesn’t always get the one-to-one attention that she needs when eating her meals. We know this may be difficult at times as there may be a shortage of staff plus other residents as well.
Great Care Home, they take care of their residents really well. The staff are efficient at communicating any care needs or requirements with key relatives and always put the well being of the resident at the heart of everything they do.

My aunt seems very happy in the Wellcroft and has settled in well. She has her own room but prefers to be in the social areas which are always clean. Whenever I visit, she is clean and tidy. The carers know her well and have adapted to her needs. As a family, we are always welcome.

My wife who is suffering with Alzheimer’s has been in Wellcroft since December it’s a nice friendly home, she has a decent room which I was allowed to decorate for her, she also had a picture frame put up which her sister did for her with the family on, the care staff are lovely and nothing seems too much for them, from what I have seen Wellcroft is very well run.
Many thanks for your lovely comments, they really are appreciated.

Mum has been a resident at Wellcroft since November 2020. Throughout the time she has been a resident she has received outstanding care from a team of professional staff. The staff know each resident's own particular preferences and adapt their care accordingly. Wellcroft feels like a family and residents are treated as though they are family members. The staff help to support residents' individuality and arrange some lovely visits and one-to-one activities. Mum is extremely happy at Wellcroft and I wouldn't want her to be cared for anywhere else.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It is really appreciated.

My mum moved to Wellcroft 8 months ago and it has been difficult at times for her to adjust and accept, but the care shown to her (and us) has been kind and genuine, respectful and professional. Her physical health is well monitored and she is much better medically than when she went in. I am kept well informed and feel involved and welcomed when we visit. Her friends that visit also comment positively on the care in the home. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! We will feed this back to the team.
My husband has recently been moved into Wellcroft, and to date, we have found that he has settled quickly and is being very well cared for. We are advised immediately of any problems and the actions taken. Both my sons and myself could not have asked for better care and attention. Thank you,...
