The Homestead

I am very pleased with the care and attention everyone gives to my father, he is very happy at The Homestead.

My father lived at The Homestead for almost 3 years before passing away earlier this year. He always received the best care appropriate to his deteriorating ill health. The staff were always caring, knowledgeable, available and I always felt they had time for my father and the other residents.

I was always welcomed on my many visits whatever the time of day, and I was kept up to date on his progress and care. My family were very grateful that my father was able to spend his last days in a place he considered his home surrounded by people he knew and that cared for him.

My mother is very settled in The Homestead and it's all down to the staff and the kindness and dignity they show the residents.

I'm satisfied with all the care my husband gets. The home is nice and clean. There is plenty of food. I have no worries at all.

My mother has been treated with dignity and respect since she became a resident at The Homestead. The staff have been fantastic with her care. I can highly recommend any family to place their loved ones in The Homestead. The staff keep us up to date with activities, that they carry out and we have been encouraged to join in.

I am very happy for my wife to live at the Homestead. I know she is well cared for.

I am very pleased with the care my mother receives at The Homestead. She tells us she is very happy every time we visit, she is so very well looked after and the home is very clean and safe.

My father stayed at The Homestead for a very short time approximately 4 months. During that time, however, I could not fault the care that he received. The staff were absolutely lovely and I know he enjoyed their company and attention in his final months. It made his life happier and much more comfortable. The facilities and rooms were always clean and food excellent. He was treated with respect dignity and friendship throughout his stay. I cannot thank the staff enough.

All staff and carers are very vigilant in knowing each individual's needs. Food and drink are always at hand and each resident is treated with respect as to their likes and dislikes. Nothing is too much trouble and care is taken seriously with regards to meals and fluid intake etc. Overall the care and atmosphere within the home make it a very happy place to live. My mother has been there for four years now and each day she smiles with sheer contentment and wanting for nothing.

Excellent care home.

Previously in another care home, which was also excellent, she was moved to Carterton with care and dignity by taxi, accompanied by her key worker. The following day, the new home held a birthday party for her. Very impressed by MHA main office organisation and the obvious culture of care for such vulnerable and confused residents. Staff always welcoming. The charity ethos of MHA clearly extends beyond the "financial bottom line". Concerns and problems of other homes in the media; is not visible or present here.

Generally, I feel dad is looked after very well, however, I feel the entertainment lets this home down. When he arrived, it was good but now the usual lady left and was replaced and it's not so good.

All at The Homestead show a very caring attitude.

Everything is satisfactory with the home. Items go missing on the odd occasion but they are found eventually. We are happy that we found this place for mum. She has been with them 2 and a half years now and all in all she is happy and it has taken a big load of worry off my shoulders.

The Homestead provides an excellent care provision and is a beacon in the field of social care. We chose this care home with considerable attention to detail about what was offered and have not been disappointed. My mother has been cared for over 5 years and nothing has been too much trouble for the staff at this home. The manager is approachable, professional and oversees a service with strongly inclusive values, ably supported by caring staff and a warm and friendly chaplain. I have recommended it to other families.

I would highly recommend the Homestead.

My mum has been I the home for over two years. The staff have always been very friendly and do an amazing job of looking after the residents. The activities are well organised and very frequent. They have musicians visiting, church services and events for the family, fireworks, xmas fayre etc. My mum seems happy and settled at The Homestead and we have peace of mind knowing she is being so well looked after.

I am really pleased with the care my Mother is receiving. The accommodation is very good and the staff cannot be more helpful and caring, both for residents and family members.

The food is excellent and well thought out.

My sister has spent the past five years at the Homestead. On admission we were advised she would only have about a year left to live. The dedication and care received during this time has been second to none. The care staff were fully aware of my sisters support needs. The home is beautiful and clean. The manager always seems busy but never fails to stop and ensure all is well. I cannot thank the staff enough for all they done for my sister, I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to others.
