Entry to Willersley House is always met by a friendly, helpful person. I am always asked to take refreshments with my friend and to join in with any activity that is being held. The home is scrupulously clean, especially the weeks my friend is taken out on visits to places of interest, shopping and social events. Birthday are always celebrated and of course, a decorated cake. Various volunteers are to hand to listen and to talk to residents and to entertain with quizzes and music. One volunteer runs a weekly shop, which my friend much appreciates, enabling her to have some independence and still keep in touch with currency. All in all, Willersley House deserves their "outstanding" award.

Thank you; we are incredibly grateful to have such wonderful volunteers who work with us most days at Willersley House, so I am thrilled that you took the time to acknowledge the contribution that they make to our home. The home and our residents are very lucky to have them.

To the end, my father was cared for as I would hope to be cared for if I end my time being a resident of a home. I use the term home as that's what it was, not only to my dad but to me, as the staff without exception, were more like family than carers. I feel there should be a level above outstanding as the support from the home has been exceptional, the whole experience from start to finish has been eased, from assessing my dad, giving him a happy life, to representatives attending his funeral.
I would like to thank all the staff for his care, but also for their support of the family during this very difficult time, I was especially moved by the very visible show of emotion from the staff during, and after, my Dad's last few days.

Whilst the primary focus was on my dad, I always felt that the family were also important, especially at the end when their support was very much appreciated. I not only miss my dad but the friendly people I met at Willersley.

Every single member of staff has been outstanding. The kindness they have shown has been exemplary. Our father has had a wonderful experience (though short) and has been able to live out his last days being shown kindness and respect. I cannot praise the staff enough.
