Adams House Reviews (3)
Over all time Adams House has 3 reviews.
However, having met the staff at Adam’s House Care Home, our numerous concerns were pretty much instantly addressed.
In summary, the care my Mum received during her 4 months was of the highest order. She - and we - were treated with respect, empathy and compassion at every turn.
Ultimately my Mum passed during October 2023, but for that 4 months of residence at Adam’s House she was in the best possible hands. As such, it’s only appropriate I recognise this remarkable experience and highlight the professionalism and support provided by the entire team. Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen - I know my late Mum would’ve said exactly the same if not for her debilitating illness. Keep up the good work.
Very friendly and attentive staff, easy to get a personalised update over the phone. Staff exhibit a high standard of personal care for the residents and their families. Thank you for your patience and personal involvement.
Mum is always clean, well dressed, well groomed and happy here. The staff all seem to genuinely care for her, and she appears to have a good relationship with them. The care home is clean, well decorated and furnished. We have been able to bring in new furniture to personalise Mum's room to the standards that she would normally have lived in. In general, her personal belongings are looked after, and the staff communicate quickly if any problems arise.
