Thank you, Keith, for your comments about your recent experience at Hungerford Care Home. Our residents’ wellbeing is our main priority and it is great to hear that you were so pleased with the quality of our care.
My mother became a resident at the home 18 months ago. It is an extremely hard decision for anyone considering putting a relative into a care home, knowing that you are putting their care into the hands of strangers. As soon as I visited Hungerford Care Home I could tell my mother would be happy...
When she moved into the care home she was given a lovely bedroom with her own bathroom, we brought lots of photos to put up to make her feel more at home and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful with settling her in.
When I visit my mother she is content, clean and tells me she enjoys living at the care home. The staff are absolutely amazing and treat her like she is family, the food looks delicious and she enjoys it very much, as well as the little treats the staff regularly give to her.
It is a huge relief knowing that she is happy, safe and well cared for at the home, I recommend this home wholeheartedly.

My wife and myself have been married 60 years. I would say that about 80% of time in Hungerford Care Home she lives in a world she 'invents' in her mind and can discuss issues.

My wife and myself have been married 60 years. I would say that about 80% of time in Hungerford Care Home she lives in a world she 'invents' in her mind and can discuss issues. Sadly, 20% of the time she slows down mentally and physically but the care she gets is excellent in Hungerford Care Home. I could not provide a fraction of care she receives. Well done!
My Mum moved to Hungerford Care Home in May 2020. We chose it because of the excellent reviews and the fact that it had a beautiful location, with a garden we knew she would enjoy.

My Mum moved to Hungerford Care Home in May 2020. We chose it because of the excellent reviews and the fact that it had a beautiful location, with a garden we knew she would enjoy. From the first moment of contact, the staff were professional, helpful and very friendly. They made her move as easy as possible under difficult circumstances and she was quick to settle in. During her time at Hungerford, she was cared for with great respect, compassion and kindness. We particularly appreciated the work all the staff put in to keep us in touch with her during such a difficult time. She enjoyed the varied social programme and the food particularly! We would recommend Hungerford very highly to anyone needing respite or residential care. Our thanks go to everyone involved.

All of our team are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised.
The staff are very friendly and seem to interact very well with the residents. The home has responded excellently to Covid-19 and I feel reassured they are doing all they can to keep everyone safe. The home is in a nice setting and the gardens are well maintained.

We moved my mother's partner into Hungerford in March 2020. He is in Martins and receiving dementia care. Hungerford Care Home is amazing. From the moment I went to view the home, placed him in there and ongoing care they have been exceptional. The staff are fabulous. They make him feel at...
I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone looking to get care for a relative or friend with dementia.

The indefatigable staff are very professional, caring and it is obvious that the well being of their patients is their highest priority. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home and can’t thank the staff enough for all that they do to support my mother.

My Mum spent her final few months here following a long hospital stay. I was worried she wouldn’t be able to settle but the kindness of the staff made her feel welcome and very much at home. Everyone is very professional and experienced but my main impression is of how caring they are. Residents are treated with respect, affection and good humour. My Mum was a great cook and enjoyed the food at Hungerford Care Home, as well as eating in the pleasant dining room with friends. She was able to continue making her own choices with as much support as she needed. At the end we were all treated with compassion.
It is hard to imagine a better place to be for physical care, love and kindness at the end of life. My mother had a well-appointed, sunny room. But of course what matters is the staff. Their dedicated care and the atmosphere they engender enabled Mum to enjoy and make the most of her last few...
It is hard to imagine a better place to be for physical care, love and kindness at the end of life. My mother had a well-appointed, sunny room. But of course what matters is the staff. Their dedicated care and the atmosphere they engender enabled Mum to enjoy and make the most of her last few months. I will always be indebted to them for that.

When we visited, all the staff were friendly and offered us drinks. The home was clean, and my mother-in-law was always well presented.
An excellent care home with caring staff who provide a safe and loving environment. I would not hesitate to recommend this home. Highly recommended.

My wife has been resident for 4 plus months with a terminal condition. Her care has been excellent. Hungerford Care Home is an old building with loads of character and very well adapted to care home standards without losing the ambience of a large country house. This being the case it is homely and not clinical. For those residents who are mobile, there is a well-appointed dining room and grounds with countryside views. We have not been able to benefit from the provided activities or outside visits and trips.
Many thanks for your positive comments about our home, the team will be delighted to hear your feedback.

Hungerford Care Home was recommended to me by an official from the NHS for my wife. After viewing two other homes in Hungerford beforehand, it was first class. As indicated in the ratings below, it could not be bettered. All the staff are so kind and caring and I cannot single out a single department, including the house girls for faults. Having lost my wife after two years in Hungerford, I was told to visit every day if possible to eat. I can't say any more.
Thank you for your wonderful comments about our home, we take pride in the high standard of care we offer here at Hungerford, so it is great that you find our home to be 'first class'. The team will be delighted to hear your feedback. Best wishes to you and your family.
Excellent and caring home. Always warm and cosy. Lovely, well-attended garden. Highly recommended.

My sister-in-law had a live-in carer and a house in London. After a few falls, her hospital advised that she should go to a care home. Hungerford Care Home was able to take her at short notice, 3 years ago. It is near my home so I am able to visit nearly every day and may do so at any time of the day. She has been continuously well cared for despite being unable to speak coherently or to walk on her own. The staff have been caring and supportive at all times. When there have been problems, I have promptly been kept fully informed. The staff are invariably friendly and helpful. I am impressed at how kind and supportive they are to residents who can rarely communicate their needs and frequently do not want to co-operate

Choosing a care home for a relative is a major and stressful experience, an experience we would rather not have to endure. From the first moment I walked into Hungerford it was instantly apparent it was different, the word “ home “ was a perfect description. It became my aunts home for the following eighteen months. The staff were welcoming, helpful, friendly, caring and professional without exception. Dementia is a horrible disease for everybody concerned but Hungerford takes away some of the anxiety, I have never doubted for one second that my Aunt was receiving the best possible care in the nicest of surroundings. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anybody. A massive thank you to ALL the staff.
The last 12 months of my aunt's life could not have been better. I have quite a bit of experience of carers and the staff at Hungerford are, in my view, exceptional. The home always presents as clean and hygienic, not an easy thing to achieve with dementia sufferers. I have observed that the time...
I have a number of friends with relatives in care homes and have heard endless horror stories - I feel fortunate we selected Hungerford for my aunt, I'm convinced there will never be any horror stories coming out of Hungerford.
To sum up, thank you all at Hungerford, you will remain in our hearts forever for the care given to my aunt.
Thank you very much for the wonderful words about our service. Much appreciated.
Thank you to all.
Thank you to all.
