Review from R S (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has lived in Spring Gardens for almost three years now, and we are very pleased with the care she has received during that time. Mum has dementia, but the staff are well able to manage her condition and respond to her needs positively and constructively, and they treat Mum with affection and
respect. The home organises a nice range of activities for the residents, and the food is of a high standard and a good variety. We can visit whenever we want to. The staff are very approachable and happy to discuss our mother and her needs with us. It's a great relief to know that Mum is safe, well cared for and looked after by such a nice group of people.

Review from Jude N (Wife of Resident) published on 31 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband moved into Spring Gardens in 2021, and we both could not be happier with this move. Most importantly, the care staff are absolutely brilliant. Their kindness to both my husband and myself and the very high standard of care provided have meant that I am never worried about my husband. There
are always lots of different activities for him to take part in, the food is home-cooked and of a high standard, and the atmosphere is that of a small family home. The location of the home right beside the sea means that it is easy to go for walks and visit some of the many cafes. I have no hesitation in recommending Spring Gardens. It is an exceptional care home.
Reply from Carole Bravin, Operations Director at Spring Gardens

Thank you for your glowing review; it has been a pleasure to get to know you both.

Review from N S (Son of Resident) published on 23 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been living in her own flat for many years. She fell and broke a hip last November and needed four carers a day when she came out of hospital, but then fell again - and then was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We were in total despair and didn't know where to turn for help, but luckily found
Spring Gardens - and the staff just said, "Don't worry, we can look after your Mum", and they have done and she is thriving.

My mother has been a resident at this care home for over a year now. I'm personally very pleased with my mum's care. She seems to have settled well and joins in with the activities and when asked she has no complaints.

Review from Fiona m (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum lived at Spring Gardens for the past two years, until she recently passed away from dementia (during which mum and family members were treated with equal care and dignity).
My family and I could not have been happier with the care home and feel so lucky that mum lived there. Staff were always
friendly, thoughtful and caring, and the activities were frequent and varied.
The atmosphere is one of a big family, the location is perfect, and I would not hesitate to recommend Spring Gardens to anyone.
It is utterly impossible to express my gratitude and thanks to all the staff.
