Southlands Nursing Home

Thankyou for looking after my friend so well.

My father was at Southlands for 8 weeks before he passed away.We were very happy with his care. all the staff were friendly , cheerful and always kept us fully informed of his condition . We would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my dads care

I would recommend the home its clean and well maintained.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending southlands to any family who is looking for a wonderful nursing home for their loved ones

Communication and care, as well as treating people with dignity and kindness, are the most important aspects of any care home and Southlands is excellent at this.

If you are agonising - please don't. Just come and see for yourself how special it is.

This review is our overall comments by the Bayne family following our mother's stay with you for the last five years. Our mum had a wonderful time at Southlands and made many close friends of both the Residents and Staff and they will all be missed by both her and us as a family. The staff are always welcoming and the home kept impeccably clean and with outstanding homemade food by Jacqui which my mum always enjoyed. Also over this long time the nursing and caring staff, there are too many brilliant ones to mention, have met mums wishes and looked after her with a very high level of professional and personal care. We would like to thank every single member of staff for what they have done for mum and also for us as a family and wish all residents and staff of Southlands our best wishes.

My mother entered Southlands for end-of-life care in July. Sadly, she passed within a week. During that time, the care and attention provided by the nursing home staff was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly, engaging, and really interested in the people in their care. Mum was totally bed-bound by the time she entered the home, but she was not hidden away and forgotten about. She was placed right at the centre of the home, with constant visits by staff to check on her wellbeing. I am so glad that we chose Southlands for Mum's last few days. It was clear that senior management led by example, and the service provided was exemplary.

I've been a resident of Southland's since 23/5/2023, IAM disabled and bed bound currently 58 year old male, the whole of the staff are amazing, once a month your resident of the day in which they weigh you, when I first come to Southland's I was 8.5 stone, am currently weighing 13.7 stone, you are treated as a person not as a patient, all the staff encouraged you to keep you motivated, moving, all the residents rooms are like hotel rooms and the staff encouraged you to peronised your room as much as you like, in the past year I've had health and personal problems in which the staff have helped me a lot, since being here I've never felt alone,

My Dad moved into Oaklands two weeks ago, we were a bit worried as to how he would get on in a home but he is very happy. The staff are all so lovely, not just with Dad but to my Mum and myself. He has played bingo, with a bit of guidance from the staff, for the 1st time in his life and was very happy when he won. It was his birthday in the week and all the staff made such a fuss of him on his big day and even made him a lovely birthday cake and some of the staff came into his room to sing happy birthday to him.We were permitted to have our own private suprise party for him yesterday with all of his adult grandchildren and partners present. All of the staff are always smiling and always very accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. My dad is well looked after and happy which is such a relief for us all. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. Thank you so much to all of the staff for the care and support that you give to my dad.

Sadly my mum was only at Southlands for a few months before she died, however the love and care that was given to her during that time by all the staff was exemplary, especially in the last few days of her life. Their kindness also extended to myself during difficult circumstances, and I will be forever grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a safe place for their loved ones who require care.

Whilst visiting my relation, I have been very impressed by the lovely atmosphere of the home. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and my relation has nothing but praise for the staff, all levels, including the catering staff for the lovely food.

The home was very comfortable in my uncles final weeks. The staff were fantastic, regularly checking in on him and us as visitors, very attentive. My uncle had a lovely room with views of the garden, beautiful setting. The room was a good size with plenty of room for visitors.

Very happy resident = very happy daughter.

During my father's stay at Southlands Nursing Home he received excellent care and medical attention. The staff were always extremely friendly and attentive. They supported my father through his end of life care, allowing him to pass away pain free and with dignity for which we are so grateful.

Perhaps the best praise comes from my daughter, a 5-year-old medical student who has seen a lot of care homes during her studies and said to me 'this is a good one'.
