Galsworthy House Care Home with Nursing

Lovely experience visiting this care home. I've been looking after my client here for 4 years. Staff are brilliant, well trained and thorough. Even with change, refurbishment etc it's a lovely place to be and for those who come in for respite, it is a home away from home.

Galsworthy House has wonderful staff who are always helpful, kind and caring. This applies to the carers, who interact with and really do care for the patient, and the management team who go to great lengths to ensure both patient and relatives are happy with the service provided.
My husband settled in extremely quickly and, despite his dementia, seems very happy and comfortable with everything being done for him. As he has other medical problems it is comforting to know that the nursing staff keep a close eye on these and react promptly if a situation changes.
The food is tasty and plentiful and my husband is kept scrupulously clean throughout the day and night.
The ethos here is 'patient led', which means the care staff react to the patient's needs and don't insist on things being done to a rigid timetable. Visitors are always welcome at any time, which is most reassuring.

I had a wonderful stay at Galsworthy House for 10 days to recuperate after pneumonia before going home. I thank the staff for their great care, kindness in every respect. There is a few staff, in particular, I would like to mention but the other staff were wonderful as well!

Mum arrived here in October 2016. She came straight from hospital and was in a very bad way. Almost comatosed, not walking, needing a hoist, not eating etc. She is now very well. The best she has been for over a year. The staff have been so good to her, getting her back on her feet and making her happy. They have sorted her medication and she is eating so well. Thanks to the Manager who works so hard and all the staff on the first floor.

My Mum enjoyed living at Galsworthy House. She found the staff very friendly and kind.

My wife came here because she has Dementia. The place is clean and very well organised. The food is healthy and well made. My wife is happy here, she is very well looked after.

Always kind, charming and helpful to residents and visitors alike.

If I was allowed only one thing to day about Galsworthy House, it would be the brilliant staff that have looked after our mother since she became a resident in October 2011.

Galsworthy House is always odour free, a good initial sign of a well financed, well cleaned, well run care home.

My Uncle stayed at Galsworthy House for nearly 2 years. They provided excellent quality of care, especially challenging with a man who was very independent until his early 90's. He clearly felt safe, enjoyed the food, care & attention very much. For his entire stay, he was resident on the mezzanine floor which is managed by a member of staff who was utterly superb. His patience & kindness to my Uncle was unfailing & it was clear my Uncle grew very fond of him which was lovely to see. It was lovely to think we did not have to worry about him & if there were any concerns over his health they always reached out immediately. The Deputy Manager has also been fantastic, providing support & guidance over the last 2 years. My Uncle sadly passed away last month, he passed away peacefully & with dignity at the age of 93, you can't really ask for more than that.

My wife has been in Galsworthy House for about two and a half months, I visit most days so I seen life there at first hand. From the manager down to incomparable activities lady who organises the events, games, entertainments etc. Every one of the staff gives the most excellent care to the residents, interacting with them and showing kindness which is really quite touching. The lovely setting of Galsworthy House with it's Victorian splendour helps to make this a very special home. My wife is happy, and know that she is being well looked after I can sleep well at night.

I would like to write about the incredible care that the staff at Galsworthy House give to my mother. She has lived here since June and from the start she has felt at home, which is primarily due to the care and attention she is given. My father visits every day, and is warmly welcomed. It is the small details that show the great care, the white cotton tablecloths and silver cutlery, the fresh flowers and smiles from all the staff. I have no doubt that my mother is being in the best place for her, and I have recommended Galsworthy House to my friends who are considering care homes in the area.

Generally very good. Any issues raised by family members are attended to quickly and sympathetically. To be fair the only such issues have been both very minor and infrequent.

My mother's care home where she had been happy and content is being closed down by the council so a new care home had to be found for her. At the age of 95 she was welcomed to Galsworthy House where everything possible is being done to make her feel at home. The staff are all very caring and dedicated I am happy to know my mum will spend her last days in such a lovely, caring 'new' home.

1st visit but was impressed by the cleanliness and security.
