Overall Experience

The care home is tired in appearance and fixtures fittings within the residents rooms in need of a refresh. The carers , nursing care, cleaning, laundry team are personable and appear to care about the residents well being. Do I think they do the best they can for my father? I am going to say, yes. I think they do what is required to keep him clean tidy, well fed and comfortable wth his surroundings.

The staff friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. It generally feel welcoming, clean and tidy. I have not been advised of daily activities. there is an outdoors area for residents to enjoy safely. Food is served and they accommodate for glue free diet. We have been very informed about care decisions and management have supported us with any medical treatment or disputes with outside medical support.

Dad wasn't sure when he had a room upstairs whilst being assessed for his safety and ability to live in downstairs room..he moved downstairs about a year ago..he has settled so well..the staff are down to earth and caring..any questions we as a family have are answered straight away..any issues are sorted immediately...dad's not a social man and doesn't join in many activities but loves to wander and stop and chat to everyone...

I would recommend any kind of stay here..

I am very happy with the care my husband has received since moving to Wansbeck Care Home 5 months ago.
He took a while to settle but is doing really well now. The staff are very patient and caring and the home has a lovely family feeling.

I don't worry about my husband as much now as I know he's being so well cared for.

I have been here since October 2023. I now live downstairs and I can't fault anything. There are plenty of activities and I have been out a few times. I get help with my shopping. I have made friends and enjoy sitting in the garden with them. I love music and there is always music playing in the home. Well done to all the staff.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Customer Relationships at Wansbeck Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you're enjoying the activities, outings, and garden, and that our team has been helpful with your shopping.

Review from Michael V (Husband of Resident) published on 18 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

While I was taking radiotherapy at the hospital in early August 2023 I put my wife in Wansbeck Care Home for 4 weeks. The room was acceptable with facilities. She was in room 1 outside was a nursing station with alarms that kept going off. Staff talking during the night, and my wife had to get up to tell them off. The night staff are poorly trained as one night the fire alarm went off and no one knew what to do. The food was poor. I told them that my wife could not chew meat but they still gave it to her. The bed was a single bed and she could have easily fallen out. She is incontinent and old wet clothes were in her room, sometimes for a while. The day staff was quite good. There are many other things I could say.

We are very grateful to have mum in such a caring home. The manager and the staff cannot do enough for mum and are very good at monitoring mum's dementia and always keeping us informed of her health. The food is all homemade and really good quality.

It's taken Dad a while to settle but once he got a room downstairs he's much better. There have been a couple of issues, but once addressed it was sorted. Just working on getting him involved now, he's never been a good mixer.

Overall, no complaints.

Review from Gail L (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum has settled into her new home with the patience and care of the team. Opinions are listened to and valued. My mum is always presentable and her room is clean and tidy. All the residents are happy and it's lovely to see during each visit. My mum was very concerned initially due to previous experiences of residents being in her room and taking her belongings. She now feels safe knowing that this does not happen or will be supported. Food and drink are excellent - not feeling like there's too much (overwhelming) and what she would have enjoyed prior to her dementia. Mum has not accessed activities yet to comment sufficiently.

Review from Eileen D (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This home is just 1 step up from a prison. My Mother was placed into a small room and left alone for most of the day. She was encouraged to eat or drink, and her food was placed in front of her and then removed from her room untouched.
Communication between staff was very poor. Even the deputy manager didn't pass on information and relatives' wishes were ignored.
I had my Mother transferred as soon as I could. I wish I had done it earlier.

My Mother died 3 days after her transfer. I won't say her lack of care at Wansbeck Care Home contributed to her death but I can't say it helped. She ate and drank more in the first day of her new home than she did in the previous 19 days she spent in their so-called care.
