This is a lovely care home and my grandad is looked after so well. The carers are so friendly, attentive and caring and we can always leave the home knowing he is in safe hands. The care home is beautiful and I love coming to visit as well as meeting the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. Your comments are much appreciated and will be shared with the team. Visits to the home form such an integral part of maintaining links with loved ones. We look forward to your continued visits.
I was so very impressed with every aspect of this beautiful home, from the first moment I came to visit I cannot fault one thing. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The best thing for me is that I know my father is getting the best care and support every day. He is so well cared for, he believes he is in a hotel.
Beautiful surroundings and beautiful caring staff, what more could anyone have for their loved ones?
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service. We always welcome feedback as a way of improving our service. Your positive comments will be well received by the team, thank you. It is a pleasure and honour to be have the opportunity to care for your father.
Very warm welcoming home. The staff are second to none. The atmosphere and surroundings give the feeling of a stately home hotel. My father in law is a happier person since arriving here.
Thank you for your kind comments about our service. It is always encouraging to know when we are meeting expectations. I will ensure that these are passed on to the team.
An appointment was speedily arranged for me to view Stone House nursing home the following day after my initial enquiry. Whilst I was viewing the nursing home, I was compassionately shown the actual room which my dad would be in by the admissions manageress, then shown around the rest of the home and introduced to several of the key staff who were all very polite and cheerful. By the time my viewing was concluded, the manager of the nursing home had already visited my dad in hospital to assess his suitability to be transferred from hospital to Stone House. All further arrangements to move dad were carried out by Stone House on my behalf.
Dad was admitted for palliative care and was treated with extreme dignity, care and humility (as was I) by all the nurses, staff and management involved in his care. Dad needed 24-hour nursing care and I feel he could not have had better care for the remaining few days of his life than he received at Stone House.
I would like to start by saying, what an honour it was for us to have had the opportunity to look after your father. It was also such a pleasure to have met you and your family, you will always be welcome at Stone House. Thank you so much for your very kind words, I will ensure that they are shared with the team.
I would recommend Stone House Nursing Home to anyone who expects the highest quality of care. My cousin has been looked after with kindness and has improved health wise since she came to live here. To sum up, I would say she has been treated with DIGNITY - which I think is so important.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service. Your words about our service are ever so kind and I will pass them on to the team. It is an absolute honour to have the opportunity to care for your cousin.
I visit the home about three times a week. The staff work relentlessly in often difficult situations to help residents have a fulfilling life as possible. They are always treated as individuals and with respect. Likes and dislikes are noted and acted upon. There is always someone to put an arm around a resident if they are upset or tearful. They are cheerful and helpful even in the most difficult situations. The food is freshly cooked and appetising. An alternative choice is always available. My husband needs total care. His dignity is always treated with respect. The home itself is spotlessly clean and welcoming. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Stone House Nursing Home
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. We will be sure to pass on your very kind words to the team. As you well know, your husband is very much a part of the Stone House family and we always look forward to your visits.
Staff are always helpful when inquiring about my relative and informative when my sister visits. My relative is aged 94 and has dementia. She is kept clean and fed regularly. She took out a funeral plan which gives the relatives comfort. Well done Stone House!!
Thank you for taking the time to review our services. We always welcome feedback as it helps us to measure our progress and identify areas of improvement.
The staff take the time to get to know residents individual needs.
Plenty going on throughout the day if residents want to take part.
The food on offer each day is always lovely as are the cakes :)
Staff always willing to help and provide support to residents and family members and are always interested in hearing concerns that we have. Have never felt unhappy knowing my grandmother is here as I know she is happy and safe.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service, we always welcome feedback as we believe that there is always room for improvement. Your grandmother is a very special lady, full of smiles and laughter. She brightens up the day of anyone she comes into contact with! It is such a pleasure to care for her. Equally a pleasure to see you all when you visit. Best regards, Samantha and The Team.
Whenever I visit my father-in-law, I am always impressed at the level of care the staff deliver, they are always very attentive with the patients. There is always a great atmosphere in the lounge. I know he really enjoys his meals, which always look great! I know the staff spend a lot of time with the residents and they truly benefit from this. The activities arranged are excellent and the outside entertainment is always greatly enjoyed by the residents. I would not hesitate in recommending Stonehouse, my father-in-law is really settled there.
Thank you for your very kind words. It is always very encouraging to hear such positive feedback. I extend our gratitude to you and your family for allowing us the honour of caring for your father in law. He is a true gentleman and loved by all at the Home. Best regards, Samantha and The Team.
Assistance is given to residents who require help with eating or drinking and meals may be taken in the dining room, lounges or their rooms as preferred.
Medication is given as prescribed and full records kept.
Visiting relatives and friends are also welcomed and given every opportunity to raise any concerns they may have.
Stone House has allayed any fears I may have had in leaving my husband in their care.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. Your feedback is very useful in helping us identify any areas for potential improvement. Please may I take this opportunity to express what a pleasure it is to support and care for your husband. As always, you and your family are very welcome at Stone House, and we hope that you feel right at home!
What a wise decision this was thanks to the dedication of an excellent and well-motivated management, nursing, caring and support staff. An atmosphere of comfort, friendliness and confidence prevails throughout the home resulting in an excellent standard of caring for all residents.
All my wife's needs are well provided for, from personal hygiene, comfort, medication, daytime activities, entertainment and her food. Her food is nutritious, tasty and tailored to suit her personal taste and chewing/swallowing capability. She cannot feed herself and staff feed her at all times with patience and understanding.
As my wife's awareness and health diminishes, I can take comfort from knowing that she will be well looked after and cared for with dignity and compassion.
We are extremely humbled to have such kind words fed back about the service we provide. Your wife is very much a part of our family, as are you. We are honoured that you entrust her care to us and it is a real privilege to have the opportunity to care for her.
Everyone is so friendly/approachable and caring.
I feel part of Stone House too.
My mum has settled in well and the staff have got to know her and vice versa.
The food is very nice and so well presented too.
It really is a lovely nursing home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service. There is always room for improvement and as such, we always welcome feedback from people who use our service. We were extremely honoured to have had the opportunity to care for your mother and have always valued your input into her...
My mother had the best care anyone could give. I was very happy and content for my mother to be in this home. Everyone was kind and nothing was too much...
My mother went into Stone House in June 2016. She had the best care when she was there. The management and the staff were very caring and helpful. My mother liked everyone and was very happy.
My dad has been at Stone House Nursing Home for about 8 months and receives a visit nearly every day from a family member. At no time have we ever had any cause for concern over his care which I believe to be outstanding. Any health issues are swiftly identified and treated. His mental health problem (dementia) is professionally dealt with. He is encouraged to take part in activities. Being in the day room each day allows him to interact with other patients, carers and nurses keeping his mind active. I have absolutely no worries about his care. I know he is in good hands.
On behalf of the team and myself, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on our service. There is always room for improvement, and we are pleased that you are happy with the service we provide. Your father has quickly become a well-loved member of our family and we always look forward to your visits.
My father has been a resident for 7 months. I cannot fault the care he receives. The staff are excellent and look after all the residents with great care. I visit the home regularly but always find the same level of care. Each resident has their own individual needs and you clearly see this is observed by the staff. There are varied activities always going on if the residents would like to take part. The activity staff are very encouraging and make such a difference to the residents. I would have no reservations in recommending Stone House, my father is quite settled and happy.
Hi Wendy. Thank you so much for your very kind words, which I will share with the team. We always welcome any feedback about our service. We strive to deliver exceptional care, and so it is encouraging that you are happy with the standard of care we provide. It has been an absolute pleasure to...
Stone House was one of the first nursing homes I visited, having been recommended by a very close friend who's grandmother had been a resident. After researching and then viewing 14 other care and nursing homes, none could compare with my perception of Stone House. My mother has been resident at Stone House for well over a year now, and I take the view that the excellent levels of nursing and care, in managing my mother's needs, must surely have helped her pull through a most difficult and stressful time, whilst suffering from dementia, Parkinson's disease, osteoporosis and other conditions. The staff are really kind, above all, they also understand the stress sometimes experienced by relatives trying to cope with dramatic changes in their loved ones. Hats off to all at Stone House, I have nothing negative to say at all. My mother is confined to bed but I have seen other residents enjoying joining in all the activities.
Thank you for your very positive review of our Home. It is an absolute pleasure to care for your mother, and we always enjoy your visits. We will ensure that your feedback is shared with the team.
We reviewed half a dozen care homes in Bucks and Stone House, gave us a great feeling of empathy and care. In mum's 18 months residence, she was loved and cared for as if with her family at home and I know she felt very much at home immediately. She became a resident until her recent passing. The staff have become part of our family and went out of their way to care for mum, even visiting her during her time in the hospital and attending her recent funeral. I would not hesitate to recommend Stone House.
Management and staff skills are outstanding and all personnel are friendly, caring and approachable. Residents are treated with the freedom, compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. Communications are excellent and I have every confidence that I will be kept fully informed when necessary. A care plan was agreed when my mother-in-law was admitted and this is reviewed on a regular basis to meet her individual needs - care and nursing issues are always discussed when necessary and addressed in an appropriate manner.
My mother-in-law is extremely happy and wonderfully cared for in this outstanding Nursing Home - excellent value for money.

With a decade-long tenure in the nursing home sector, I have honed my expertise as an accomplished care home manager. Backed by over two decades of service as a qualified general nurse in adult social care, my passion lies in sculpting personalised care experiences for our residents, an ambition shared with my dedicated team. Together, we create a service that embodies meaning, purpose, and fulfilment.

My career began over a decade ago as a qualified nurse, a voyage that led me to Stone House in 2018. Over the course of my tenure, I have embraced the role of a diligent general nurse and now proudly serve as the Deputy Manager. I am steadfast in my pursuit of delivering quality care, imbued with integrity and pride.

I joined Stone House Nursing Home in 20121 as a Senior Health Care Assistant, whilst working on applying for my PIN as a Registered Nurse. I obtained my PIN in November 2023. I was promoted to become Lead Nurse in April 2025.
