My father passed away last December and I am so grateful that he was able to die peacefully at The Orchards which he thought of as home. He had lived there for almost 8 years and was happy. Dad celebrated his 100th birthday there and staff provided a fantastic buffet and made the whole family welcome. In fact, the staff were wonderful and always willing to help. For example, when he became bedridden in his last year, Dad was unable to reach the treats kept in his drawer. I mentioned this to the receptionist who immediately had a sign made reminding staff to ask if he wanted any of his sweets or whisky. Dad enjoyed his meals and continued to do so when he needed help eating and drinking.
Lovely building, well equipped rooms, clean, comfortable surroundings and very pleasant, helpful staff.

The staff, management, house, carers, nurses, activities, are a well-integrated team. The team looked after me well, I was at the Barchester Orchard House Care Home to recuperate from a hip replacement operation and to give my wife a rest from looking after me. (Two weeks). The shower in my room could not be easily used because the entire floor flooded. To read I needed a strong light which was not installed.

My dad came to Barchester Orchard House Care Home for respite care whilst my mum was in hospital. Sadly, she passed away and Dad continued his stay. Everyone at Orchard has been wonderfully kind and caring. Dad has been confused and heartbroken but every member of staff has given him some time and support. As a result, he has settled and is able to get through the day calmly. I cannot praise Orchard House highly enough. Not only have they looked after my dad but they have cared for all of us, family as well. As we live off the island, we are having to move Dad closer to us. Orchard House will be a very hard act to follow and I thank everyone there for helping Dad through such a difficult time.
Can't fault any area of Orchard House. The care, attention, and facilities are excellent. The staff goes above and beyond.

My brother has been cared for by the fabulous staff at Orchard House for 8 months, because of the care and wonderful home-cooked food he has survived a lot longer than expected. Over Christmas, there were activities every day and special menus and parties to which I was welcome to attend. The ladies who provide all the activities work so hard and are fantastic. I can't praise the staff enough, always helpful and friendly, even when under pressure.
Thank you so much Susan for such a positive review, I will make sure the staff team know about how you felt in regards to the care they provided.
Really excellent place, so impressed with the personal care and attention to my mother's every need. Her recovery was total and we as a family give all credit to 'The Orchards' care for that. Would recommend thoroughly. Thank you Orchards.

I could not be more pleased with the care and dedication shown by all the staff of Barchester Orchard House. They understand the need for dignity, despite the physical condition of the resident. The rooms are well-equipped for all the resident's needs.

I am generally happy with everything but do not like it when another resident hits my husband. Fortunately, he hasn't been hurt yet.

Firstly thank you for your review, and raising your concern, which we have taken very seriously. Since this was submitted the head of the community, where your husband lives has discussed this matter with yourself and it has come to light that there was no witness to this actual event and no recording of the incident as stated.
Always willing to help Mum and get her involved with other residents and activities. Very patient with Mum as she is quite independent. Very clean and excellent facilities.

Mum was initially a short-term resident after breaking her shoulder and arm. Despite stating that she didn't ever want to go into a home, she decided after about six weeks that she would like to stay permanently. She thoroughly enjoys the food and activities and says she is very well cared for. She has a new lease of life and new friends. It is very comforting to know that she is so happy and safe.
Thank you, Kim Fleming, GM

The food at the care home is also top-notch. The chefs prepare delicious, nutritious meals that cater to all dietary requirements. My mom has always been a bit of a foodie, so she was thrilled when she found out that the food was so good.

Lovely, caring care home. Nothing is too much trouble. Seniors are always happy to chat through and sort any concerns I may have. Cheerful and friendly carers. Hubby is happy and settled and gets on well with carers. I really appreciate all the care and dignity offered to him.

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so happy to provide a home from home for your husband and love you visiting and supporting the Orchards.
Although my dad is desperate to go home this is not a reflection on the Barchester Orchard House Care Homes care. He is homesick. He always states the care here is much better than the hospital.

They made my mum welcome when she first moved to the Orchard. They were very caring and understanding of my mum's needs. Kept me updated when my mum was poorly and any changes. My mum was happy where she was until the final day.

Hello, my name is Becky, and I am the Head of the Unit for Valentine. I have worked at Orchard House for nearly 10 years. I’ve been a nurse for 29 years and previously worked in the hospital. I saw an advert on the fencing of Orchard House stating they were recruiting nurses, and I thought I needed a change, so I popped in and look around. Next thing I know, I am working here at Orchard House and never looked back. Having never worked in a Nursing Home before, I wasn’t sure how I was going to get on, but I must be doing ok as I’m still here and still love it.
