From the very beginning, when my Mother first entered Peartree, at the age of 80, I have felt that I have gained, rather than lost a family member. It has been difficult in the last year, owing to the Covid-19 Emergency, but information, news and personal contact has been professionally and considerately managed, always with the resident family member as the primary driver. I am comfortable that she is in safe hands.
Thank you for your kind words. The team are always re-assured by your support. It is a pleasure working jointly with you for mum.

It was much appreciated that staff took the trouble to keep us informed of any changes in his condition, and were as helpful and as generous as regulations allowed with visits.
He was allowed to slip away gently and with dignity.
Thank you for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure to care for and get to know your friend. He was kind-hearted and inspirational.

Thank you for your kind feedback, Erica, it is an absolute pleasure working with you for mum. She is so lovely, very caring and loving towards us as well.

She has been the best I have seen in the last two months since moving to Peartree, in comparison to the last two years when she was receiving care at home. Thank you, Peartree, especially 2nd floor. Love you guys.

Mum had a wonderful time during her two weeks, she became more confident in walking around. She loved the involvement with all the other residents. Each time someone came to visit Mum and brought her to her room to spend time with her, she just wanted to go back to the communal room with her peers.
Mum eats well and enjoyed meal times in the group. Her room was spacious and clean, she even had her own TV. Staff were very caring and helpful.
If we need to use the respite service again. I would not hesitate on sending Mum back to Peartree Care Home.
My mother was in Peartree for over two years and they were the best two years she could have had, sadly she died in August. However, the care she had was outstanding.

The staff was amazing especially on floor 2. My mother loved it in there and she was so well looked after with so much love as well. For me, I feel sad my mum and myself never had more time as they have become family to me. This care home is outstanding. The end of mums life she was cared for so so well, my thanks to you all.

They try to ensure that the residents keep up with activities they enjoyed doing before they came into care. As well as indoor activities, some residents that are able, are taken to the seaside, museums and various outings of their interest.
It's good to know that your loved ones can spend time surrounded by other people in the lounge and also if you wanted to spend some one to one time together you can do so freely, whether it's in the garden, their room, tea room or the relaxing rooms that are available.
It is hard, however, for the carers sometimes to spend a lot of one to one time sitting with individual residents so the care home makes sure that each resident has a special day of their own so they can be pampered and be made a fuss of.
A very friendly atmosphere with caring staff throughout the home.

The rooms are clean and airy and we were encouraged to bring things like pictures, photo's, small pieces of furniture to help Mum feel at home.
Thank you Peartree.

My husband came to Peartree for end of life care following a diagnosis in June 2018 of pancreatic cancer. It was a very difficult and stressful time but Peartree made him so welcome and safe and truly made what turned out to be his last month of life, something I can fondly remember. I cannot thank you enough for your support and for bringing some light and hope into that very difficult time.

My brother is happy and content at Peartree. He likes the staff and enjoys the food. His room is kept clean and fresh. The lounge is bright and the staff cheerful and attentive. Whenever I visit I get a warm welcome. I can relax knowing my brother is well cared for.

I also lost a dear friend in December 2017, we went to visit 3 times a week for 10 months. The staff were marvellous in this time. She went to Buckingham Palace but after this, she was too poorly to go on any other outings. She loved the Christmas party. Thanks to all the staff at Peartree Care Home.

I accepted the room on my first look. I cannot fault the care and overall the home is perfect (I have looked at many others).
Thank you, Lyn, for your kind words. Your comments will be passed on to the carers. Thank you also, for your support and feedback, working together with families ensures good quality of care, which is our aim.
My husband has been in this home for about 6 months. He has settled in really quickly and he has put weight on. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.
