Mum had been unwell with chest infection, on 2 lots of antibiotics but having falls at home - taken to A+E and discharged. She lives alone. I contacted Ian at Wealstone and he came out to assess and accepted Mum for respite (1 week) until meds finished. It was an absolute god send, peace of mind and fab care for Mum.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you and your mum are both doing well. Take care.

Mum moved in to Wealstone in July 2026, in what was a difficult time for all the family. The staff and management have been great with mum and the family and she has settled in well. The care has been great and if we have any issues or concerns then it is addressed promptly. Although the building is abit dated, the care and compassion is great. There is a new building being built and so I'm sure this will be an even better care home very soon.

More than happy with the care given to my Nan at Wealstones. We had heard good things about the home and it was our 1st choice when looking for suitable care. 10 months in my Nan is thriving here, very happy, has made friends and is visibly well looked after. It was a difficult decision and move and due to dementia she can be difficult to deal with at times but the staff are very patient and kind with her. No worries at all about her now which is a blessing. Would 100% recommend to others.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. We're delighted to hear that your Nan is happy, thriving and has made friends at Wealstone. We are happy to know that our team's kindness and care support has given your family peace of mind.

Ian kindly took him on board, knowing that my dad hadn't settled at Florence Grogan.
My stepmother moved to another care homemore suited to her needs.
My dad rarely gets involved in indoor activities.
As an ex cyclist and golfer, He does, however, love the tricycle runs . Shouts take us to the nearest pub.
The staff have a soft spot for him, I think they like the Scottish accent.
He has a great appetite and loves his food piping hot. Which it sometimes isn't!
On contacting Ian he does take it up with the catering staff.
The home is currently going under a complete renovation/rebuild.
Looking at the plans it will be fantastic once completed.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your dad's experience with us. We are delighted to know you are happy with the standard of the care at Wealstone, I will pass your kind sentiments to the home team.

From the management team to every single carer, the staff are absolutely wonderful. They treat Mum with such kindness, patience, dignity, and genuine affection that it gives us complete peace of mind knowing she is in such caring hands.
Since moving in, Mum has come on so much. She is happier and enjoys being part of the home. Seeing such a positive change in her means the world to us and has brought so much happiness to our family. The staff take the time to get to know each resident as an individual, and it really shows in the way they care for them.
The home is always spotless, welcoming, There are plenty of activities and opportunities for residents to socialise, laugh, and enjoy themselves, creating a lovely atmosphereI would 100% recommend!

There is a nice feel to the care home which was notable when I first visited with him 2 years ago. The dementia unit is a happy place with lots of fun.

we were particularly impressed by the warm, homely atmosphere, the residents' freedom to move around and the cleanliness throughout. Despite late-stage Alzheimer's Mum enjoyed the activities, crafts, and outings whilst being in a safe and secure environment. The staff were so friendly and constantly chatted with her, gave her cuddles, and made her feel genuinely loved and cared for. When Mum became ill the Manager went above and beyond coordinating her care, while all the staff looked after her with such dignity, respect and professionalism, they were truly exceptional. As a family, we could visit mum anytime and were always kept informed and treated with kindness and compassion. We will forever be grateful for the love and care Mum received, and we cannot recommend Wealstone Care Home highly enough.

We made the decision to place dad in Wealstone back in September after a lengthy stay in hospital. Initially I was very defensive and suspicious, but gradually realised how good the staff are in caring for people . Most of the carers have been there for a number of years and take great pride in their work, this has helped our dad to settle quickly and our family relax knowing he is safe. From those in charge and everyone who works there, our family recommend Wealstone as a great place for loved ones to stay when they need help.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how difficult this decision can be and are pleased to hear that our team helped both your dad and your family feel reassured and supported. Thank you for your trust in Wealstone.
