Brendoncare Alton

Towards the end of my wife's life, she required frequent attention but at not time did anyone show the slightest annoyance at her constant need of attention. Everyone showed the greatest care and did all they could to ensure her comfort.

My mother has required two periods of respite care when recovering from a hip replacement. We chose Brendoncare because my father is a long-term resident in the home. We were not sure how it would go but it has been a great success. For my father, there is the comfort of knowing that his wife is close by. For my mother it has been easy to visit my father. But each time my mother has come out looking a completely different person. She is a big fan of the food and has put on a few pounds which is a positive. My mother has early stage dementia but it is not easy being in a home when most residents have advanced dementia, despite this, the staff have given my mother all the support she could have wished for and she has coped well, which is a huge testament to the quality of the care that she is receiving.

An excellent facility for dementia patients and their relatives - very compassionate and flexible in helping accommodate, temporarily, the wife of a friend of mine with dementia and cater for her needs as well. She also reports delicious cuisine!

When she died, the night staff were again so kind, reassuring and professional. We had great confidence in them caring for her with dignity.

In my mother's final days, the care and respect were of the highest quality. Thank you for providing my mother with a wonderful finale to her life.

I would recommend Brendoncare Alton to anyone that is looking to find a caring, comfortable home for a loved one.

Brendoncare looked after my brother wonderfully in every way. They went above and beyond our expectations with their kindness, diligence and understanding. We would not hesitate to recommend Brendoncare to anyone needing residential care for both nursing and dementia.

My partner only stayed for four weeks, but everyone was very professional but also very caring. The food was very good and plentiful. The staff were very good at anticipating problems. The facilities were also good.

Recommended without any reservations.

It wasn’t an easy decision to place our elderly Dad into a care home but after 3 years with full-time live in care and his health declining, a care home seemed the best option. From initial enquiry, to visiting the care home and to the day Dad went into the care home was seamless. It was a worry how Dad would transition into a care home environment but he is so happy there. The staff are friendly and interact with him and involve him with activities. The best decision was to place him into Brendoncare Alton as the family have peace of mind and know his needs anre being met and Dad is happy and safe in his environment.

I would just like to say that everyone at Brendoncare Alton was amazing. My husband was looked after wonderfully with true care and attention. All the staff were warm and oh so thoughtful and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Hig progression was superb and although he has loved coming home, he wouldn't be where he is today without everyone's care. Biggest thanks.

My cousin was diagnosed with Dementia at the end of May 2023 and moved into the care of Brendoncare Alton. Sadly she passed away on 02/10/23 but during her stay at Alton the care, consideration of her wishes and friendship of the staff were exemplary. As was their friendship and kindness to me, for which I thank them.

The general atmosphere within the home was a very happy one.

It is hard to admit you cannot care for your loved one but Brendoncare is the very best place for her.

This review follows 1 year on from my positive August 2022 review I wrote.

Brendon Alton continue to provide excellent care for my uncle as his condition has advanced and worsened. All the staff I know are friendly, helpful, well trained and importantly 'caring'.

A huge thanks to the team in the Foyle dementia house, thank you for the hard work you put in, in a very testing environment. Your skills and happy positive nature really help Uncle and me visiting.

Still highly recommended care home.

On moving into Brendoncare Alton on Monday 31st July, my wife, a retired doctor, announced that she felt comfortable and safe. The standard of nursing on Chawton ward has been outstanding and delivered with love and cheerfulness. She died peacefully on 14/08/2023. My sincere thanks to all at Brendoncare.

Sadly the food quality could be better, with better attention to meal times.

My husband is being cared for in Brendoncare Alton Care Home on "Ropley" and has been, and is, well looked after. The staff are fantastic under sometimes difficult circumstances. My husband has eating problems and the patience of the staff in trying different diets is first-class.

I was grateful at the speed at which my necessary respite care was arranged at short notice. The care staff were exceptional and always there to talk with and always more than happy to assist whatever time it was, though staff obviously had to spend time with those with priority needs. There was delightful banter and teasing between the staff and residents and each other, added to the real family atmosphere.

In this care home, i am happy. I love being here with my other friends.
