Covid restrictions have meant that visiting is not as easy, but visits have always been accommodated. Safety of patients is very reassuring.
Excellent care is given. Encourage independence and due respect given.
Rooms pleasant, food requirements met.
Mecial care is very good.
This has been a very challenging time for staff, residents and their families but communication with the home has been excellent. The staff have been amazing and treat the residents with patience, care, dignity, respect and unfailing good humour. They have facilitated a range of visiting options to support/maintain contact with loved ones whilst keeping everyone safe. Nothing is too much trouble and I'm always made to feel welcome.
Thank you for all your dedication and hard work - it's greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. Our ethos has always been to create a welcoming family atmosphere. Thank you for feedback regarding the fact that you have always been made to feel welcome even in the recent 'challenging' times of the pandemic.
It is always clean and they provide home-cooked meals every day. They have managed the Covid situation extremely well, always keeping us informed during this pandemic.
Many thanks to all the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review Taptonholme. We understand the importance of ensuring a homely feel at Taptonholme and ensuring dignity. Thank you for your comments regarding the COVID situation.
I feel very fortunate to have my mother in such a lovely place as is Taptonholme and would highly recommend to others.
Thank you so much for your support through your review of Taptonholme. Your mother is a pleasure to care for and brings delight to everyone with her musical abilities and the kindness she shows to others.
Although she has not been here very long, we have seen a huge transformation in her well being and condition, she looks so much better. It is clean both in the home and in the outside spaces.
The manager and deputy manager have been so helpful and patient in steering us through the complexities of placements and the general care system. There is an emphasis on care and laughter and my mum loves the staff and the other residents.
Taptonholme is a small home with a family atmosphere. The home is always sparkling clean, the residents seem comfortable and the staff attentive. The staff respond not only to the needs of the residents but also their visiting relatives, often offering cups of tea. The staff are always courteous and pleasant and demonstrate infinite patience with the residents.
My mother has been living in Taptonholme for over a year. It is a very friendly home. My mother is happy and content. The staff are very caring. I am always made to feel welcome and I find the staff very approachable. It is a small home and there is a great sense of community between the residents, staff and family. I am happy with the home.
My mum had Alzheimer's and was cared for by the staff team at Taptonholme for the last four years of her life. The staff remained virtually unchanged throughout that time (which I think tells you everything about how the home is managed) and everyone, no matter what their role, treated mum with absolute dignity and respect. Mum's illness could be very upsetting for her at times, but all the staff had the upmost patience and gave her all the time she needed. My sisters and I had cared for mum ourselves prior to her moving to Taptonholme and we wanted to get that difficult decision right for her. We looked at number of other homes, but Taptonholme was head and shoulders above the rest. It's in a brilliant setting, has a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, it's not too big and it's greatest asset - the staff team. I felt a real sense of comfort knowing that mum was well cared for every hour of the day and I now feel that those last years spent at Taptonholme were the happiest of her life.
