Mum has been residing at Blomfield House for just under nine years and has made many new friends along the way. She respects and appreciates every staff member and claims she has "no complaints, whatsoever". The food is good and wholesome and the kitchen always goes out of their way to make sure she enjoys each meal. The staff have learnt her routines, likes and dislikes and always have time for a chat with her; even the gardener and caretaker/handyman keep her up to date with weather forecasts and news!
Although Mum prefers to stay in her room, the Activities Organiser always lets her know what is going on in case she decides to join in. The activities within Blomfield are outstanding.
The room is small and the home is dated but Mum has said she wouldn't change a thing. Mum feels safe and extremely well looked after and the staff working in Blomfield are exceptional. Thank you all for looking after Mum so well and for being such a reliable team - well done to Blomfield's Manager:)
Thank you for your praise. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Thank you for trusting us with your mothers care.

My mother stayed at Colonia Court for 4 1/2 years until she passed away. She suffered from dementia. We will always be grateful for the welcome we received as a family and also for the excellent care she received. She was always treated with respect, sensitivity and genuine affection.

Since my mother became a resident in Colonia Court Care Home in September she has received excellent care and also compassion. Never having had any experience of care homes we were unsure of what to expect. However, we are absolutely delighted as is my mother with every aspect of her life.

My father went into Blomfield House in August after a fall. From the day he arrived, he has been treated with respect and been well looked after. The staff are welcoming and friendly and keep us updated with any problems when we visit. Any medical problems that have occurred have been promptly sorted out with the GP or nurse. Most importantly my father has settled and is happy to be living there which the best indicator of the good standard of care and the kind attention of the staff.

My mother has been in this dementia unit for more than 2 years and I have always found the unit manager and all of the staff caring and considerate at all times. They genuinely care about all of the residents. The staff take the time to know each resident and their individual needs and always assist with feeding and drinking where needed. I find it so reassuring to know my mother is so well cared for and I am kept informed at all times.
Thank you for your review. It is so nice to hear that your mum is being well cared for and that you have peace of mind. It is the little things like getting to know the person that makes it more like a family and a happy environment for our residents and families.
