My Dad said, there are some good staff here, but the home is not well managed or led. The manager and deputy manager seemed to spend almost all their time in their office and we did not see the manager out 'on the floor' engaging with residents or staff or providing any visible leadership.
As a result my Dad did not receive high quality, personalised care - and on occasions did not look well cared for. The reports provided to us on my Dad's care were variable - and often poor. We saw little of the activities provided and the food looked unappetising and poorly cooked. Residents spent most of the time in their rooms. Although individual staff were responsive if asked, proactive care was lacking. We would not recommend this care home.
During your Dad's stay, we were committed to supporting his complex needs and would have assisted with a move closer to your home had this been requested.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your experience did not meet expectations and appreciate you sharing your view.During your Dad's stay, we were committed to supporting his complex needs and would have assisted with a move closer to your home had this been requested.
Your Dad was encouraged to participate in activities but chose to spend most of his time in his room. Staff supported him on many occasions to visit his wife in hospital, recognising how important this was to him. Residents with capacity can make their own choices, including declining care or support offered.
We reviewed and responded promptly to any concerns or suggestions you raised, including regarding the food. Staff later reported that your dad had expressed to them that he was enjoying his meals.
Management engage daily with residents, relatives and visitors and are actively involved in leadership and oversight.
We are sorry your experience was not more positive and wish you all the best for the future.
This is the carehome of excellence and deserves 5 stars all the way

Thank you so much for your kind review, we are very happy to read that you are pleased with the service provided.
Staff know my father well and are sensitive to his needs. He has mouth cancer and they prepare food that is soft - and offer alternatives when he does not want to eat. Staff are friendly and courteous.

Thank you so much for your review, we appreciate people taking time to send us a review. We are so grateful for your recommendation and will continue to strive to be the best we can be.
The staff do an amazing job caring for my friend as she becomes increasingly more rude, cantankerous and at times aggressive. Their tolerance and good nature cannot be faulted. The home is always brightly decorated and welcoming. The food is good and varied, worth every penny.

Thank you for your comments. We like to see individual personalities shine through our residents, and the staff have a soft spot for your friend! We try to make the home as warm and welcoming as we can, and of course, we do like to make an effort for the special occasions!
My experience is excellent. Very attentive caring and friendly. My wife is always clean and well dressed. Excellent home.

Wish carers had more time to talk with residents. Wish there were more trips out in bus. Wish rooms had a view of a garden. Wish easier access to outdoors.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We have an extra Care Assistant working each day to relieve pressure and give the staff more time to spend with individual residents to improve quality of care and support. As we are coming into the warmer months, there will be regular bus trips to local attractions for everyone to enjoy. These trips will increase in frequency as the weather (hopefully) improves. Most rooms on the North side of the building have views over the garden grounds, however, we are open to ideas for making the gardens more attractive and accessible.
Overall I am delighted with the care my mum received. Stand out points would be the staff who are excellent.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your mother was a character, the staff have such fond memories of her, and it was an absolute pleasure to look after her.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so happy that you feel this way as this is what we strive to be like.
The staff and manager were excellent and gave my father extremely good care. He was treated lovingly and with great respect, they truly cared about preserving his dignity. From when he first became a resident until his passing, I was always confident in the high quality of his daily care.

Thank you so much. We often talk about the fun, kind gentleman your father was. He is missed by us all. We pride ourselves on ensuring dignity and respect are maintained at all times for our residents.
From the management to the reception and all of the staff, I cannot praise them enough for their professionalism and the care they show to the residents. They are also very good at keeping us up to date on how our mother is doing and what activities she has been attending.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We appreciate how our residents families become such a vital part of our every growing family.

The food is excellent, her room is spotlessly clean and her clothes are always clean and her own!
She herself is happy, safe and extremely content.

Everyone on the staff is very welcoming and there is a real feeling of care and attention to the needs of the residents. My mother has had wonderful nursing and I am reassured that she is at all times safe and comfortable. I can rely on all to look after her and that is the most important factor. There is a wonderful feeling of informality in the care home as dogs are welcomed.. but this does not impair the standard of cleanliness which is excellent. I can't thank everyone involved enough for looking after my mother so well.
This is such a lovely review. We feel that the care home residents/relatives and staff are one big family. We have known you a long time and i hope coming to the care home feels like coming home to visit your mum.
I am delighted with the care that my father receives. The staff team and management are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable; meeting my father's needs well and with dignity. They always go above and beyond!

We are so happy to receive your feedback. We are glad that you and Gordon enjoy our celebrations. We feel every occasion is worth a celebration.
It would be nice if there was a kitchen section for residents to use to make them feel they're entertaining when visitors are in.
More activities and a list of activities displayed would be good.
