My husband has settled in very well at Garswood House. His room is large, clean and overlooking the garden. The staff are wonderful with him, each and everyone of them.

My husband has settled in very well at Garswood House. His room is large, clean and overlooking the garden. The staff are wonderful with him, each and everyone of them. It's taking a little time for them to get to know his level of need, because he can be deceptive, but I'm certain that this is the perfect place for him. It's party day today, celebration of David Attenboroughs 100 years with balloons, games and live music. Wonderful.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. It is wonderful to know that you are happy about the person centred care of your husband at Garswood House. Thank you again for trusting us for his care.
Sometimes there have been staff shortages which puts a lot of pressure on the other staff in what is a stressful job anyway!

Mum came into Garswood House, despite us not knowing if we were doing the right things. Our worries were deeply unfounded. The first 2 weeks were the most difficult due to mums change of environment. However after the 2 weeks mum is for happier + far more settled than she has been for the last couple of years. The staff are brilliant and always pleased to see you and are very informant of doctors visits, illness etc. The staff have definitely made mums transition into a care home far easier that possibly expected.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that your mum has settled in well and is happier now. Your kind words are truly appreciated.

My Mum has been in the care home for over 12 months now, she does seem to have settled but, I'm not happy with the activities, there is not enough going on for the residents. My Mum is constantly complaining that there aren't enough meal options, this has been addressed numerous times. My other concern is staffing, I, as a visitor, have noticed very minimum staff on shift.

All the staff have made mum feel welcome and cared for. She tells all of her visitors how lovely the staff are, how she enjoys the company and the food and that she couldn't be anywhere better. The home provides a warm, welcoming and clean environment. It is reassuring to see how the caring and hardworking staff look after and interact with the residents. I feel that the home would benefit from a dropped kerb/ramp at the front of the building which would be helpful when taking residents out in a wheelchair. I believe this is being discussed with the landlord.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear your mum feels happy and well cared for, and we appreciate your kind words about our team.
