Residents can eat tasty and nutritious meals, which are freshly cooked by onsite chefs, in the communal dining room or privately in their own rooms if they wish to do so. Residents are welcome to offer input to menu ideas, with a Residents’ Food Committee meeting quarterly to provide them with the opportunity to do this.
The home’s activities coordinator provides residents with a detailed recreation programme to ensure they are engaged and occupied throughout their time at Hungerford Care Home. These are organised with input from residents and relatives.

The resident did find it difficult to understand different accents, better with those who spoke slowly, clearly and got down to her level.
Communication overall improved but is vitally important.
Receptionist very good, welcoming and always helpful on the phone - patient.
Nursing staff helpful on the phone and took great trouble.
The outlook to the garden from the room was very good and made a great difference to the residents. Also, the opportunity to have her bird table within view was enormously valued by the resident.

My Mother had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home for plus 2 years until her passing away in may 2016. We would visit and it was so clear to us that Mum was treated with respect and dignity but most importantly it was home. All the staff worked tirelessly to ensure a clean, tidy home and...

My grandmother always seems calm and content in her surroundings. The room/facilities seem ample and the building is well situated, quiet and in an attractive setting.

I have always found the staff helpful and cheerful, always ready to listen.
There has been a change for the better since my sister moved from her previous care home.

I have been impressed with the level of care my dad has been provided. Carers are very responsive to the needs of residents and helpful when anything goes wrong. Staff are very friendly and the surroundings are pleasant to be in.

I find the home to be friendly and relaxed with a good standard of professional care. My husband is comfortable in his room and enjoys having his meals and tea breaks in his room. All the staff are friendly towards my husband and enjoy a bit of banter with him.

My mother was admitted to Hungerford Care Home at very short notice. We were given a very warm welcome and everything was done to make the transition as stress free as possible. It was made very clear that the staff are there to support the whole family and there is always someone available for a chat or advice if needed. Mother has a clean and cosy room with a fabulous view of the countryside and a peak at the menus suggests a varied and appetising choice of food. Early days but we are hopeful mother will settle well.
The home has undergone great improvements over the past 12 months - a complete refurbishment.

Recently I have moved rooms, the staff asked if I would like to move as one came available. My room is very nice even my old one was lovely too. The staff here are excellent and they treat everyone with dignity and respect. My favourite meal is fish and chips and we have this every Friday. I would recommend this care home to friends and family as they are very professional in all that they do. The staff are what makes this home so special.
It is a great weight off the family's mind knowing that she is safe and cared for.
