Garswood House

Mum was admitted into Garswood House initially for a weeks respite to allow the family to go on holiday. 5 days into her stay we were advised to return home as she quickly deteriorated. After 11 days she sadly passed away. The impression the staff made on us all will stay with us for a very long time. They cared for mum with dignity, respect and showed genuine love and compassion as they performed their daily tasks. Nothing was too much trouble for family and friends alike, with regular visits offering tea, coffee and biscuits, even a bed for those who stayed overnight. At a time when many care homes make the news for all the wrong reasons, Garswood House is a shining example of how it should be done. And our family will be forever grateful.

Mum went into Garswood House initially for one weeks respite, whilst the family went on holiday. During her stay, she became very unwell. This resulted in her dying after only being in their care just over a week. The staff, care home manager and health professionals who cared for Mum treated her and the wider family with the utmost respect, and we cannot thank them all enough.

They made a very difficult situation easier to bear with the kindness they showed. I just want to say a big thank you to all. Mum passed away today, 13th August 2019 and all staff were so helpful.

I was impressed by the efficiency and especially the kindness of all the staff. They were gentle and caring for my mother in law and also supportive of all her many visitors.

Whilst we thought we were putting grandma in respite care at Garswood Home, gradually she took a turn for the worse and we sadly lost her. We can’t thank you enough for all your love, care and support for grandma and us a family, nothing was any bother to you all. Amazing staff.

Nothing we asked was too much trouble, it was clear to see that the staff have genuine passion and love for their job. As a family, we can’t thank them enough for their concern and kindness.

The staff have beautiful relationships with each other, the residents and with us as a family in a state of disbelief. We were accommodated from the moment we entered the building and even beyond Grandma's stay. What a safe haven with special staff who will now always have a bond with our family.

Cannot thank the staff enough the love and care my dad has been receiving is out of this world! My dad has come on health wise and happiness each and every day, he’s so settled not upset away from mum.
