I have only been here a short length of time but already have found all members of staff extremely kind, caring & helpful. It has been a hard transition, but everyone has tried to make this so easy as possible.
Thank you so much for your kind review, it is our pleasure assisting you to keep your independence, whilst giving you the confidence to know there is always someone there if needed and I enjoy seeing you pottering around the grounds, and enjoy our little chats about what we are wearing, love the new hair do. Love Tracy and the team.
Pilling House is an excellent care home and I am very happy with my fathers care. The staff are really caring and friendly and supportive and the home is extremely well run. There's always plenty of activities going on for the residents and especially at Christmas.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we are so grateful for your continued support, and look forward to your visits, I will be sure to pass on your thoughts to all the team, kindest regards from all the team at L&P.
My overall impression of the home is warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly and attentive. Communication between staff and families is good. The staff treat the residents with care and compassion.
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback, and for the lovely comments, I will be sure to pass onto staff your review, and thank you for your continued support, love from all the team at L&P. X
Its a big decision when placing a loved one in a care home, you hear so many horror stories, but then you find an 'amazing one' like Pilling House and count ourselves very lucky indeed.
They are so caring and get to know their residents so well, all their needs are taken care of and any medical issues that may arise, again they are on top of things - we cannot thank Pilling House enough for all their continued hard work and kind dedication they show. Its not just the resident that moves in, so do families (not literally).
On asking my relative out of 10 what would she give her new home, without a pause, she said 10 out of 10, we can't say more than that. Keep up the fabulous work you all continue to do. xx
Just wow, what a fabulously kind review, and we are so very grateful for the support you show us all the time, from standing on stalls and making things for us, it is absolutely our pleasure looking after your Aunt, and we love having you in the home, especially when you bring us little people to coo over, looking forward to the seaside trip, from all the team at L&P xx
An amazing team of staff. Everyone is caring, thoughtful and bring a sense of fun towards the residents. The activities co-ordinator organises a varied programme with visits from singers, local school, animals etc. They are taken out on visits and have celebrations of events as well as birthdays. The staff know the residents so they receive the stimulus they need. My mother enjoys quiet times but also loves to dance and staff engage with her to take part in dancing and listening to music. Relatives are welcomed in and have plenty of opportunities to take part in events as well as visits.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback, this means a lot to us and we are truly grateful for all your support with events in and out of the home, your Mum is a lovely Lady and we are so glad that you feel she is in a good and caring environment, again thankyou, see you at the next event, love from all the team at L&P.
Since coming to visit Pilling House Care Home, before my auntie became a resident, we have been really impressed with the care the residents receive. The social activities available to the residents is excellent from baking, craft activities, themed events and even visiting pets. My auntie was in a poor way 14th February, two years ago, now she is thriving!
Thank you so much Rachel, it is our absolute pleasure taking care of your Aunt, and we are grateful for the kind review, it means a lot to us when someone comes to us and we have made a difference, thank you too for all your support, from all the team at L&P x
Had a lovely couple of hours with dad, enjoyed our lunch together and he enjoyed it too. Very satisfied with all dads care, and the lovely attitude from the staff, thank you all very much.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for your continued support, the praise for staff is always good to hear and I will make sure they are informed, you are always welcome and we are lucky to have your Dad stay with us, see you soon and thank you again from all of us here at Longroyds and Pilling.
Pilling House is a lovely building and has recently been redecorated downstairs. The staff are all caring and supportive of the residents. It would be lovely if there was better use of a quiet room and classical music. Also needs games/activities the resident can use when sitting would be good. They do organise activities out of the home and have visits to the home which the residents enjoy. Overall it is a good home with caring staff.
Thank you so much for your review, we appreciate all feedback about where there may be room for improvement, but we do offer a quiet lounge in the sunlounge area of the home, where our lovely residents can go for a little quiet time if they choose to, and the games and activities live there too, so...
A first class and caring home Pilling House excellent staff who look after the needs of the residents.
Thank you for your wonderful review Stephen, we are grateful for all your support, and that you consider the home in such high regard, best wishes from all the team at L&P
My mum has been at the home for 6 years, I am very happy with her care. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. I am extremely happy overhaull.
Thank you for the time taken to review our home, and for the feedback, we are happy that you are happy, and value your support.
I feel very reassured that my grandad is being cared for by well meaning, kind people. The team are led by someone who clearly wants the best for everyone involved. The staff and the residents appear happy and settled whenever I or my family visit. Those with capacity have good feedback and those without show no signs of neglect or harm. My grandad is doing much better in Pilling than he was at home and we as a family are less stressed.
Thankyou so much for the kind review, and it is our pleasure to care for your Grandad, I will pass your feedback onto the team, who will feel appreciated and thankful that you feel this way, as do I, thanks again for all the support you and Mum give us, this goes a long way to reassure us that we are hopefully getting it right, best wishes from all at L&P x
I come every week to see my friend, it's always a friendly, happy home. The residents are always doing activities, eg baking & activities staff are always very friendly, happy and obliging whenever we come.
Thankyou for your kind review, I will be sure to pass on to our team that you feel welcomed into the home, we all enjoy seeing new faces and welcome all, dont forget if you have any suggestions to put them in the suggestion box, and we look forward to seeing you soon for our next shindig, thanks from all of us at L&P for your continued support throughout the year.
Mum became a full time resident at Longroyds & Pilling House Care Home during October after no longer being confident enough to remain in her own home. The entire team from the outset have been wonderful, caring, compassionate and understanding. Mum is known and cared for as an individual, not a room number and has settled in remarkably well considering she'd lived in her marital home for almost 60 years. Mum's room is beautifully decorated in a homely style with good views of the leafy grounds full of bird life and squirrels, however she spends most of her time in the lounge and dining room in the company of the other residents. I couldn't have hoped for a better place for Mum to spend her twilight years in the knowledge that she is being well looked after, is safe and has good hearty and varied food. There is always something going on in the home with plenty of arranged activities and it's lovely to see so many smiles on the faces of both the staff and the residents. 100% the right place and highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, which I will pass on to the whole team here at Longroyds and Pilling, it's great to know that you feel you made the right decision and I know from our first meeting that it was not one that you took lightly, and after our conversations I know you feel...
The team at Pilling House provided respite care for my father for 2 1/2 weeks in May 2024. They were wonderful from start to finish. They provided a fantastically high level of care of my dad throughout his stay and made sure he was safe and comfortable. His medication was delivered accurately and on time. His room was very recently redecorated and was a really lovely bright and clean room. Thank you so much to the whole team there and we wouldn't hesitate to use Pilling House for respite care for my father again in the future.
Thank you so much for your kind review, looking after Dad was a pleasure and we are glad that you feel comfortable enough for him to come back to us in future if required. Best wishes from all the team here at L&P.
My mother went to Pilling House Care Home last year for respite care but is now a permanent resident due to needing more care. We also knew that after being there before, she was relaxed and happy, so we had no regrets when Mum had to be permanent. The staff are kind and pleasant and very welcoming, this has made my family feel that we have made the right choice.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it gives us great confidence to know that family are happy with the care that we provide their loved ones and appreciate your time in giving us such lovely feedback. It is our great pleasure to be able to provide a home from home where everyone feels welcome, from all the team at L&P.
Each year they plan event days like a summer fayre, which includes different stalls and bake sales, as well as face painting and visits from the ice cream van! - always including the village community where possible.
After attending the events myself I can say there is a variety of activities to include the whole family.
I am sure the residents enjoy these event days as it encourages their loved ones to visit their home.
10 out of 10 for the effort that goes into the planning and preparation to make sure everyone attending has a great time!
Thank you for your great review, we look forward to all the people who visit our homes and enjoy the diverse programme of events, and especially enjoy the events that involve coffee and cakes but we recently enjoyed learning how to do flower arranging through a very kindlLady local to the village.
What a beautiful home on pleasant grounds, the welcome from the staff was warm and welcoming which instantly put my mum at ease. Mum was staying for two weeks respite. The care she received was second to none and I would Pilling House to anyone who finds themselves in what can be an upsetting and emotional time.
Thank you so much for your feedback, we were delighted to have Mum with us and glad that we took some of the anxiety away from a situation that can be a most upsetting time, we hope that everything goes wonderfully in the future and keep in touch, from the team.
Very nice old-style buildings in a lovely setting. Wood panels and decor in keeping with the ear of my father-in-law. The staff are lovely with smiles and good humour. Happy to have found this team of staff and home to look after our gentleman. Many thanks.
Thank You for your kind words and appreciation of the staff and the home, it is great to know that we are achieving our goal of making a difference to all of our lovey ladies and gentlemen and that families are in support of us, we like to think of ourselves as one big happy family, mostly smiley family.
Such an upheaval and change in circumstances was bewildering, scary, and unsettling for us all. Dad in particular has taken a long time to calm, feel safe, and stop trying to return to his childhood home. During this phase I cannot fault his management and the kindness and compassion and acceptance he is given.
Thank you for your kind review, we are glad to know that you hold the home and the staff in such high esteem and grateful for such lovely feedback, it feels like you're part of the family here at Longroyds and Pilling House and we always enjoy your visits.
We are made to feel very welcome when we visit.
We are really grateful. Thank you!
Thank you ever so much for this fabulous review and it is our pleasure, feedback is always appreciated and I will pass your kind words to all the team at Longroyds and Pilling.
