Inglefield gives clients two things - stability (regular, repeated predictability) and everything else is stimulation to keep the brain going. I have never seen my mum asked if she wants a cup of tea in a simple way... a joke is made, a comment on her room, her clothes etc.- all to provoke her to engage and always positive. Every single staff member does this from the nurses to the chef and housekeeping, to the boss and admin. It's very impressive.
But the main thing they do, you can't pay for. They care.
Thank you for your kind words Charlotte, it is a pleasure to care for your mum. She is very much a big part of the Inglefield family. I will pass your kind words on to the rest of the team.
It would have been good to have a grab rail on the wall beside the toilet as my commode chair would not fit over the toilet and I had to transfer from my wheelchair which was hard without anything to hold on to. I hope this will be in place for my next visit.
All of the staff did their best to make me welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere is friendly and when I went home they said they would miss me!
Thank you to the dedicated management and staff who provided my mother with a warm, caring, safe environment to spend the last few months of her life as well as companionship to her and us, as a family.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to care for your mum and we will miss her (and the chocolates). I will pass your comments on to the team who will certainly appreciate this feedback.
What a difference the days make. No truer word could be said for all the staff at Inglefield. From the tea/coffee guys through activities, then the nurses, carers, cleaners, gardeners, maintenance and owners. This home is a home from home in everything it does for the residents. Our mum has had her remaining years uplifted with joy, happiness, a smile and a solace of respect.
Thank you so much for your kind words, they really are appreciated. It is a pleasure to care for your mum.
My mother moved into Inglefield Nursing & Residential Home three months ago, first for a trial month and then on a permanent basis. The staff are wonderful – always so kind, compassionate, accommodating and professional. She's very appreciative of the food. There appears to be at least one proper cooked meal option for every lunch and dinner, and I happen to know that isn’t the case in all care homes. The period prior to her moving into residential care was quite stressful for me. Knowing that she’s being extremely well looked after has really taken the weight off my shoulders. Heartfelt thanks to all at Inglefield.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review, I will pass this feedback on to the staff who I know will appreciate your kind words.
My friend had her first experience with Inglefield earlier in 2022 for a little respite due to her loneliness in her bungalow. She always made me promise not to put her in a home! Her opinion changed after her visit. She then returned to Inglefield later in the year for another short break, but decided to stay, which was her decision. I think that her decision to stay says everything you would want to know about Inglefield. She was very particular about lots of things and Inglefield catered to them. The staff were very caring and they made her last days on this earth very special. Thank you all for everything that made her life enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback, it really was a pleasure to care for your friend, they will be missed very much. I will pass your kind comments on to the rest of the team.
Good care. Very helpful and attentive staff. Management is very approachable and willing to help and advise.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this positive review, we appreciate your kind feedback and your kind words will be passed on to the team.
Many thanks to the team at Inglefield care home. My father had to be placed into the nursing care of Inglefield under duress, unfortunately, but within a short amount of time, my father realised that nursing homes aren't what he dreaded. All the staff were kind, thoughtful and calm. His room was fresh and clean, he always felt warm and comfortable in his room with his tv and DVDs to watch. Food was always good and would always be encouraged to eat in the dining area of the home if he felt strong enough to transfer to a wheelchair. The medical team were also very good with my dad, any issues or concerns, Inglefield never failed to contact me.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Caroline, and for taking the time to leave Inglefield such a lovely review, it was a pleasure to have met and supported your father. We really appreciate your feedback and I will most certainly share your lovely comments with the Inglefield team.
I would very highly rate Inglefield as the staff are exceptional. The food is also freshly prepared and lovely, they go out of their way to deal with allergies in food as well. It is well organised and a very comfy place to be and I have felt like part of the family from day one.
Thank you so much for your kind words we really appreciate your feedback, I will pass this on to the team. We are delighted to hear that your time with us has been a positive experience.
Friendly and helpful staff, very responsive to any concerns that the family had. Very accommodating with visits from relatives not living on the island. Helped mum celebrate a recent birthday in style and have introduced her to other residents.
Thank you so much for your positive review I will pass this on to the team here at Inglefield. It is a pleasure to support your mum she really is an incredible lady who amazes us with her determination and independence, we are really glad that she enjoyed her birthday.
I stayed in Inglefield Nursing & Residential Home for 2 weeks on respite. Day and night I found the staff very helpful friendly and sometimes fun. Food choices include cooked breakfast. Inside is smartly decorated, versatile call bell system, wi-fi, activities and modern TV. I'll stay again.
Thank you so much for your positive review of Inglefield Nursing & Residential Home. I am glad you enjoyed your stay here with us. We would be more than happy to support you with future respite care and look forward to hopefully seeing you again soon.
My father has been at this care home now for almost a year and I have to say the care he has been receiving has been second to none. The staff are all incredible and treat my dad like he is family rather than a resident. They keep me fully informed of changes, procedures and how my dad is. Living in Wales and dealing with the pandemic has made thing's difficult in being able to visit him, so phone calls have been especially important, which they deal with promptly. I know he is well looked after and cared for I can't ask for more than that. What an amazing team!!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Marie, it has been an absolute pleasure to support your father over the past year. I will pass on your kind words with the Inglefield team he will certainly be missed here but we wish him all the best in his new home.
I don't have any complaints . I know she is safe and is well looked after.
Nothing more to say but ,a big thank you to all the staff.
We are delighted you are happy with the service we provide, it is a pleasure to support and care for your wife. Thank you so much for your lovely review I will pass your thanks on to the amazing team here at Inglefield.
When we asked for different drinks and food they did all they could to provide it and with a smile.
Thank you so much for your kind words Carmel, it was a pleasure to have met and supported your sister. We really appreciate your feedback and I will most certainly share your lovely comments with the Inglefield team.
I am pleased to report that despite lockdown and the difficulties that has presented that my daughter appears to be much more settled and happy. Because of her sight and serious learning difficulties, she does not appear to recognise me or other family members through the plastic screen. However, seeing her apparent contentment, that is most gratifying.
Thanks to all staff at Inglefield who took care of my 85-year-old mother. Unfortunately, her admission coincided with the early weeks of lockdown, which meant that we were unable to come to the home to visit until early summer when we were allowed visits of 30 minutes (in PPE) which was appreciated. We are grateful to the staff for ensuring that the home remained 'covid free' during Mum's stay, even if it meant restricting access from the outside world! Mum was able to take part in some of the activities at the home, which provided some stimulation to her. Mum also built up a good rapport with many of the staff. During my weekly visits to the home, the staff were professional, friendly and helpful. A suggestion I would make to improve communications between residents and family would be to have more telephone handsets available on each level of the building or even in individual rooms, so that staff wouldn't have to spend so much time carrying the phone up to another floor.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such a positive review about your experience at Inglefield. It was a pleasure to have met and supported your mother during her stay, we wish her all the best. We are working on improvements to our telecommunication systems throughout the home and welcome your feedback. Kind regards, Alison.
Our sincere thanks to all the staff who cared for my father for more than a year. He was fiercely independent and did not accept help easily. He seemed the happiest and most relaxed we had seen him after moving here. The staff showed him great compassion and respect. He even had some fun. As his health declined they involved him in important decisions and he died the way he wanted to. Before he died he commented on how well the staff had cared for him - he had 'no complaints' - high praise from him. There had been years of him resisting help from family and professional care whilst living alone. We were surprised and delighted with how well the staff at Inglefield won his trust. We found Inglefield easy to communicate with and welcoming when visiting him. The home was recommended to us by people living locally and it lived up to its reputation.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. We are so glad to hear your father enjoyed his time at Inglefield.
All the staff were friendly and caring and the cleanliness and food was excellent. You all made her feel very welcome. Thank you.
Mum had high mobility needs and these were met with dignity and respect.
Sadly we have just lost mum and I feel strongly to thank everyone at Inglefield for their continuing care, professionalism and support which also extends to relatives when visiting.
Excellent activities sessions also.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Inglefield. We are so sorry to hear about your mother passing and we will pass on your thanks to the team.
I can only say that, although my mother would rather have stayed at home for the last 4 weeks of her life, I could not have asked for a better alternative, especially as she became totally dependant on care support, something not possible at home. Mum had always said she would only go into a Home 'in a box', but circumstances dictated she accept this help. From the moment she arrived, she had nothing but praise for all the staff, the quality of the food (when she ate it!!) and all the support she received. Thank you all so much for making mum's final days that much more bearable, for both mum herself and the rest of the family. I would strongly recommend your Nursing Home to any who asks.
