Generally Jeff seams to be settled and cared for after 3 months being unsettled when first here. Recently I have bought some items for Jeff like electric razor and expensive glasses that were asked for which tend to go missing.

Just spoken to Ron to see how the trip went the first thing he said was how brilliant all the girls were, they had everything under control so the girls made sure they were looked after so had a lovely time, and the food was really good too, that was so nice for me to hear Julie, he also said he realised he wasn't as capable of doing things for himself that's why he appreciated the way the girls looked after them so well. That was great it showed how safe he felt with them. Do thank Sarah, Theresa, Lisa, for us Julie for taking care of my precious cargo!
Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback. We're so pleased your husband enjoyed the trip and, most importantly, felt safe and well supported throughout. We know how reassuring that is for you both.
Best wishes,Julie

The downside we find is that mums clothes do go missing or mixed up during the washing. They are labelled with her name but doesn't seem to matter.
But overall a good experience when visiting
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear your mum is settled and well cared for. We appreciate your comments and will take them on board. Best wishes, Julie.

I am very disappointed with the care and communication we have received from this care home.
Following my mother-in-law's death, I asked the home for a written report regarding her care, including information about when her sores first appeared and what action was taken. I also asked for copies of photographs that had previously been shown to us, including photographs relating to the sores and a hole in the affected area.
Despite making this request, I have received no response or acknowledgement.
At what is already an extremely difficult and upsetting time for a family, being ignored when asking reasonable questions about a loved one's care is incredibly distressing. We deserve clear answers and proper communication.
Very disappointing and not the standard of communication I would expect from a care home entrusted with someone's care.
Firstly we would like to express our condolences for your families' loss. We understand your frustration at what is clearly a very difficult time. However, the details shown here are not an accurate reflection of the circumstances at hand. We have communicated with you to explain that a formal...

My parents moved to Hungerford Care Home in June 26. It was a huge change for them but the staff have done so much to help them settle. It was all new to me too and so difficult to leave mum and dad at first, but the management are approachable if you have concerns. The carers are warm, hard working, happy and totally dedicated to the residents. They quickly got to know my mum and dad and understand their needs. The home itself is spacious. clean and very comfortable. I'm relieved that my parents are now safe and so well supported, emotionally and physically.
Thank you for your lovely review. It means a great deal to know that your parents have settled in well and that you feel reassured knowing they are safe and well supported. It's also lovely to hear your kind words about our team and how they have taken the time to get to know your mum and dad and understand their needs. Best Wishes, Julie

Due to the age and nature of the building, it is always going to be a compromise. The current owners of the Nursing Home are making good progress with updating the look and feel of the building and with remedial work but it will not present like new build homes. The staff are lovely, make both residents and visitors feel comfortable and the care staff do a wonderful job. The catering has improved hugely, and the gardener is fantastic + much appreciated by all visitors and residents.
Thank you for taking the time to share such considered feedback. It's lovely to hear your kind words about our team and the welcoming environment they create at Hungerford Care Home. We also really appreciate you recognising the improvements being made across our home, as well as the catering and gardens.

She is now in the dementia unit and although she can not express how she feels, you can see a difference in her. This is from her appearance, her mood and how she looks. She is clean, happy and well cared for. She is loving the activities, especially when the pony and dog comes into the home. She loves the food and the staff so thank you to you all.
Thank you for sharing this, it really means a lot to hear.
We know how difficult and emotional a move into a new home can be for everyone involved, especially after a challenging experience elsewhere, so it's wonderful to hear that your mum's transition to Hungerford Care Home was made as smooth...

We know how difficult and emotional a move into a new home can be for everyone involved, especially after a challenging experience elsewhere, so it's wonderful to hear that your mum's transition to Hungerford Care Home was made as smooth and reassuring as possible.
Most importantly, we're so pleased to hear the difference you're seeing in your mum. Knowing she is happy, comfortable and enjoying life, especially the activities (and visits from our animal friends), means such a great deal to us.
Your kind words mean so much to us all. Thank you again for placing your trust in us.

My mother has been in Hungerford Care Home for almost 15 months now. Every time I visit, all the staff, without exception, are super friendly and caring, and it puts my mind at rest that Mum is being cared for both professionally and compassionately, in a safe environment.

The level of care is excellent. Staff are friendly and upbeat. The home is clean and has undergone some renovation of the hallway floors. Food is average. I live abroad and find it a little difficult with updates on my mum's health and wellbeing. I wish there was better communication.

We cannot thank the team at Hungerford Care Home enough for the exceptional care, kindness and friendship they showed our dear Dad during the 10 very challenging months he spent with them.
At every level, the staff went above and beyond - not only providing excellent medical and personal care, but also taking the time to chat with Dad, get to know him, and treat him with genuine warmth, dignity, and respect. Those small, human moments meant everything to him and to us as a family.
We will always be deeply grateful for the dedication, humanity, and kindness shown to our Dad.
Hungerford Care Home is a truly special place, run by people who clearly care from the heart.

I would highly recommend their home to anyone considering residential nursing care for a relative.

My brother has been a resident since early July this year. Every time I visit, he is clean and tidy, shaven and happy. We have visited when some of the animals visit, and the interaction of the residents with the animals is really lovely to see.

So great to have a bit of Christmas market there! The renovations are looking really good. The food was perfect. My only concern was that the room needed hoovering. I appreciate that all the works going on there could be the cause.

Well, let me the be the one to reassure you, with the care team at Hungerford Care Home, you can set your fears aside and be completely and utterly reassured your beloved is safe.
The Home is run at the highest levels of professionalism, with high levels of competence, structure and process. The staff - all of them, (from carers, to nurses to cleaners) are long serving and clearly get on, and they manage their extraordinary and relentless workload with compassion, kindness, and patience.
The Home itself is set in beautiful grounds, it is decorated to a high standard and the level of cleanliness is excellent, with constant activities for the residents to get involved in. The food is home cooked and delicious and truly, they are all a delight.
So happy I found them.
Your kind words mean so much to our team. Warm regards, Julie
