Willersley House

My mother has been at the home for a month and we are so pleased with the care and treatment she is receiving. The staff are pleasant and very caring and really seem interested in all of the residents. We have been trying to stay with our mother through her illness and now feel happier than before at leaving her for longer periods as I am confident in the care she is receiving and know they will ring us immediately if they have any concerns. I am so happy that 'Willersley House' had a room for my mother as we had reserved many places and this was by far the best!

Activities are always varied with potential for residents to participate should they wish. Allowing less able residents to observe activities gives stimulation. Including relatives adds to the residents enjoyment. Staff are always enthusiastic and supportive.

Excellent care over a period of nine years until dementia meant further, specialist care was needed.

Most importantly it feels like home for mum.

A relative of mine has been living at Willersley House for the last 3 years, I found the home, clean, friendly, amazing staff, always asking if relatives want a drink etc. My mother-in-law looks younger each time I see her, could not rate the home any higher.

Very friendly welcome and good security measures/safety aspects to entry and exit. I feel very confident in my Grandma's safety. All staff I have come across are helpful and friendly. The environment is always clean and seems well looked after. There is a good range of facilities and amenities on the site which helps with my grandma's daily routine. Overall is a safe and friendly environment with very helpful staff.

Lovely care home staff very friendly always make my children and I feel very welcome and comfortable. The introduction of the new tea bar is brilliant allowing relatives/friends to help themselves to crisps/fruit etc. I go home knowing my relative is very cared for here.

My stepfather became unable to live at home after two falls. We were offered a lovely room which had to be redecorated first. Unfortunately, he was readmitted to hospital and contracted a virus. This made him frail and confused. The staff could not have been more supportive on his arrival. Despite problems at the beginning. Everyone was kind, helpful and encouraging. My stepfather is now happy, safe and working more like himself. I am so pleased. I live 300 miles away and no longer have the stress of worrying how he is coping. What a relief!

My Mum lives in Yorkshire and I live in Gloucestershire so my irregular visits mean that I need to be totally confident in the care Mum receives. Mum has been a resident of Willersley for some seven years now and every time I speak to her or see her at what she warmly regards as her "home", I am reassured that her choice of care home was spot on. Whatever the challenges of recruiting staff for such challenging work , I know that Laura has put together a first class team and am really chuffed that Mum is being looked after by folks who really do care about her. MHA stands for something significant and that's not simply its Methodist heritage, more crucially, it's about people who work tirelessly to give elderly folk a meaningful and dignified life in their final years.

For me, Willersley stands head and shoulders above so many of the other care homes I have visited.

I was moved from a care home where I didn't get treated very well. The moment I arrived at Willersley I knew it was different. Willersely haws a warm and caring atmosphere. All the staff are helpful and kind. The food is good and all home cooked. The room is spacious and light looking onto the gardens. I would recommend anyone to come and stay at Willersley. I have been very happy and cared for the month I have been here. Thank you to all at Willersley House.

My auntie and later on my Mum both lived at Willersley House. I had no concerns about my Mum moving in as we had both seen how well my auntie was being looked after. The home provides a high level of activities and guest entertainment. Visitors and relatives are not made to feel a nuisance. In my mum's final illness when I was pretty much staying at Willersley House I became more aware of how staff did not cut corners in terms of health and hygiene issues as well at looking after her as best they could in a busy home. The bedrooms and public rooms were always clean. The laundry done regularly and returned promptly. The staff were always very busy but had time to answer questions. If they had any concerns they rang me up to let me know what was happening with my Mum or to try and solve any of their concerns over the phone. I think my Mum and Auntie were lucky to have lived at Willersley House. I knew that they would both be well looked after and I did not have to worry about them being there. It was good to visit and see them having a laugh and a joke with nursing and now nursing staff. I like to think that should I need to go into a care home that I will be as well looked after.

Willersley House provides excellent support to my mother. They monitor her health on a daily basis and support her needs with activities, pastoral care and medical care.

Having recently visited Willersley House and living some distance from my friend I was pleasantly surprised at how well and happy my dear friend is! Couldn't recommend the place high enough!

Sadly mum died on 14/3/16 but had eight years of wonderful care.

I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending the MHA and Willersley House - many thanks to them.

I do not hesitate to recommend Willersley House should you be searching for a home for your loved one.
