My mum has lived at The Spinney for over five years now and is very happy here. The staff are lovely and treat every resident with care and respect. There is always a member of staff not too far away if you need to ask anything.
It is like home from home.
My mum says she is very happy here and would
not want to go back and live by herself in her own home and I think that is a good recommendation for The Spinney.

When my mum needed a safe and welcoming environment due to her advanced age and mental health problems, I thankfully decided that The Spinney would meet her needs. The home itself is stylishly furnished, clean and welcoming. The staff and management are extremely professional and supportive and the
food is delicious too. This is by far the best care home I have visited.

I was extremely satisfied with the care, concern and helpfulness shown to my mother by the staff allocated to her care. During her stay there, the staff built up a good relationship with her which helped her to feel secure and happy. This enabled me to feel confident that she was in 'good hands'.

Review from Wendy C (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 15 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My stepmother spent approximately 18 months at The Spinney. She was unsettled at first, moving from sheltered housing, but gradually she settled in. She was encouraged to join in activities and make friends in the home, which she did.


The staff were caring and understanding of my stepmother's needs.


She

was treated with great dignity throughout her stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Spinney is a warm and friendly home with really high standards of cleanliness, catering and all aspects of care. The staff are wonderful, working hard to give a lot of individual attention to the residents. Thanks to the positive and welcoming atmosphere, my dad settled quickly and is now very much
at home in the bright and cheerful surroundings.
I always look forward to visiting him and go home feeling reassured that he is in safe and caring hands.

Review from Helan M (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Spinney is a relatively small home with a dedicated team of staff that provide a high standard of personalised care to their residents.
My mum was a resident there for 3 years up to her death in December 2016 and I always felt that she was well cared for and treated with kindness and respect.
As her daughter, I was always well informed and involved in decision making.
My family and I were always made very welcome at The Spinney.
I would definitely recommend The Spinney.

Review from Pat (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 17 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to find a care home for my mother-in-law at short notice - she has been having falls in her assisted living flat. She was placed in a nursing home in Leeds as a temporary measure until a permanent place could be found for her. When I spoke to the manager he reassured me that she would be safe
and cared for at The Spinney - it was a home from home.
She spent 1 week in this first nursing home and then went to The Spinney - it was 1000 better than the first place - she was very happy to be so safe. The Spinney treats her with care and dignity. All the staff are wonderful - I cannot praise them highly enough.

The Spinney has a lovely warm feeling to it when you visit. My grandmother looks like she is being looked after very well, always dressed nicely, looks clean. The staff are friendly and always welcoming and see to my grandma,s needs. All residents are treated as individuals and respected on their views
and opinions on things. I would definitely recommend this residential home to other people.

My mother was placed here for respite and was then changed to residential care. The staff are welcoming, professional and caring. They are not just there for the residents but also for the family. You are kept informed of changes to medication or care plans. They have activities going off to keep everybody
active.

This is a small friendly home. Nothing is too much for the staff, they really are prepared to go that extra mile to keep the residents happy, safe and engaged. The management are very committed and constantly looking at ways to impress the service and the residents environment.

Mum came to Spinneys for respite care, we found the staff very friendly and helpful. The staff reassured mum who was nervous about going, her room was lovely and welcoming. Would not hesitate in bringing mum again for respite or longer if she decided she wanted to move here. She enjoyed her food, the
hairdresser who attended and socialising with the staff and residents. The staff were very quick to deal with any incidents that arose such as when mum needed the district nurse to help with her feet.
