My mother has been at Wellburn House in Ovingham since November 2020 and experienced the normal rules re Covid-19. Living in USA I have managed to have regular video calls with her. In September 2021 when travel restrictions were removed on a trip to the UK we managed to visit the home every morning. Everyone has been very helpful and pleasant and we feel that it is a wonderful environment for my mother. Thank you everyone at Wellburn House.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of Wellburn House, Kevin. We are so pleased that your mother is enjoying her time with us. I will pass on your kind words to the team at Wellburn House.
My mum was admitted in June 2020 after her Alzheimers became unmanageable at home. I'll never forget the day as I had to leave my mum on the doorstep in the care of a member of staff who I'd never met before as couldn't go in due to COVID Restrictions, heartbroken is all I can describe my feelings...
My mum was admitted in June 2020 after her Alzheimers became unmanageable at home. I'll never forget the day as I had to leave my mum on the doorstep in the care of a member of staff who I'd never met before as couldn't go in due to COVID Restrictions, heartbroken is all I can describe my feelings on this day. The communication we have with Wellburn is fantastic, everyone is lovely and so friendly. We've managed to visit a few times outside or in the new visitor's pod in the garden. We managed to see mum on her birthday where the staff had organised a singer for mum's birthday, we had a lovely afternoon. It was great to see mum interacting with the other residents and saw how much the staff really care for all the residents. Wellburn is a beautiful building and set in gorgeous grounds, hope one day we will be able to go inside and meet everyone in person who are doing a brilliant job not only looking after my mum but all the other residents.

Lockdown has brought many more challenges for the staff and residents but we could not thank everyone enough for what they have done these last months, we've not been able to visit but Skype calls have helped and we know everything they are doing is for the safety of all our families, they are worth their weight in gold!

Mum arrived at Wellburn on 6 March, just prior to the lockdown of the home because of COVID-19. This was a very difficult time for myself, Mum and the staff. However, I feel that she has been well looked after during these difficult times which has been extremely reassuring for the family who are...
At the moment I am judging this without really having had the opportunity to visit since Mum first arrived, however, the opinion is based on my brief visits and remote impressions.
Thank you so much for your review. We will pass your comments onto the team!
We received a friendly welcome from the house manager and her assistant. All the staff looked after us with great care and willing to help us when needed. This is a clean, well run home and we intend to come back again.

Observed excellent caring response to a fall. This is within the general context that we observe approximately twice a week, of staff who know the residents well and are genuinely caring.

My Mum moved in here in November 2019. She was only in three weeks when she was admitted to hospital. On returning at the end of December Mum has settled in. Staff are great. They have activities for the residents throughout the week. The family are made to feel very welcome.

To place a parent in a care home is a very difficult decision however, my mam settled in straight away. This is down to a lovely presented home but more importantly, the wonderful staff who are always so very welcoming to visitors at the home too and can't do enough.

Overall, I think that Wellburn House provides my father with very good all round care. The staff are very attentive and if my father requires anything - the staff are only too happy to oblige.

I would recommend Wellburn House with its lovely well cared for gardens to anyone wanting a care home away from the town. Once the refurbishment is complete, it will be first class.
Extremely daunting to have to admit father to a care home, however after visiting, social worker advice and personal recommendation, we decided as a family to admit Dad for a respite stay, which was very successful, and then full admission.

The holistic care has been above and beyond expectation.

Many thanks.
