Since she has been a resident in your Bupa home, I have found it to be very satisfactory. When arriving at the home, always given a warm welcome, her room has always looked clean and tidy, and the atmosphere is calm and tranquil.
Thank you for your feedback. We are looking forward to welcoming you for another visit again soon.
The staff always welcome my friends visiting, which helped me to settle down. I have a small room, but it is very cosy with photos etc. around it, and it is like home. I am lucky to be here.
We appreciate your feedback. We are happy that you have settled well into your new life with us at Puttenham Hill House. Thank you for choosing us for your care.
We have visited our friend in this care home several times and have always been impressed with the friendly, cheerful attitude of the staff, which I am sure is not always easy to maintain. We would certainly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a good care home for a loved one.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is lovely to hear you have always found that are staff are friendly and cheerful when you visit your friend. Thank you for your recommendation.
Extremely helpful staff, very different experience from other homes. Atmosphere calm and pleasant.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear your feedback about our staff and atmosphere at Puttenham Hill House. Please reach out if there if anything more that you need.
Mum was bedbound and needed assistance with everything; which it was the kindness and upbeat caring nature of all the staff was touching. Nothing was too much trouble. Mum never wanted to go in a 'home', but she settled in straight away and even spoke about 'booking in for another week'.
Sadly, Mum passed away after 5 weeks. As a family, we were so glad she spent her last weeks in the comfort and care of Puttenham Hill House.
Thank you all.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review, especially during what must be a very difficult time. It means a great deal to hear that your mother felt comfortable and settled in so quickly. Our team strives to provide compassionate, respectful, and attentive care, so your words about their...
As a caregiver I was amazed to see the wonderful care my brother is receiving in Puttenham. I was greeted with a general overall impression of not only warmth and compassion, but cleanliness of a very high standard. Thank you. Gillian.
Thank you for your kind words. Providing kind and attentive care is in the heart of everything we do, so it's lovely to hear your feedback. Thank you for your kind words about the facilities. We take great pride in keeping the home bright, comfortable and full of light. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.
My mother was in this home for over 2 years. She was comfortable and content, despite challenging physical conditions and onset dementia. The staff were always friendly and warm when we visited. My mother was as happy as could be expected. We are glad we put Mum in this home.
We're so grateful that you've taken the time to share your thoughts. It is lovely to hear that your Mother was comfortable and content during her stay at Puttenham Hill House Care Home. Hearing that our care has made a difference to you and your family is truly rewarding and hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

Throughout the year that my mum spent at Puttenham Hill House, she was consistently treated with kindness, respect, dignity and compassion. The staff are fantastic and all provide a high standard of care. The nursing home itself has a welcoming and homely feel and is always spotlessly clean. The opportunity to spend time with a visiting PAT dog provides some lovely experiences for the residents. As a relative, I always felt very welcomed and supported through a difficult time. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is wonderful to hear that you felt supported and at ease with your Mum in our care and we are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. We are pleased to hear that your Mum received such high standards of care and kindness during her stay...
My stepfather was resident at Putternham Hill for three years. All the staff are kind, helpful and thoughtful and put their residents first. I would recommend this care home to anyone looking for a home away from home for their relatives.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you felt at ease with your stepfather in our care. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
It's a real home from home which is full of life
The staff are always eager to please and treat us like family.
The manager always has time for everyone. The housekeeping staff are more than that and keep the home spotless. The male nurse has been a breath of fresh air. He is more than a nurse he has become a friend to my loved one and has a connection rare to come by!
The office staff are always on hand with a smile while no job is to big or small for the maintenance.
Although my friend doesn't take part in many activities by choice there is plenty to choose from.
Carry on the great work Puttenham, I look forward to many more visits. When I need it in the not too distant future I definitely know where I will be going!
Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your Friend in our care. It is great to hear you are impressed with all aspects of the home especially all the staff. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

I have found Puttenham Hill House Care Home excellent in every way. Very friendly and helpful and I know my sister-in-law (resident) and husband were happy from the day they moved in. The staff have been amazing to my sister-in-law since her husband passed away. A very friendly and homely atmosphere and surrounded by lovely countryside.

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like "kind" and "considerate" being used to describe our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
My husband has now been at Puttenham for just over a year and I am pleased this home was chosen for his permanent care. His problem is mostly a lack of mobility (he is 97), but he is able to join in most of the many activities provided which has led to companionship and keeping his brain active. He enjoys the food and the staff are excellent, caring, attentive and full of good humour, creating a really happy atmosphere for residents and visitors. Special occasions are recognised and the staff put a lot of effort into providing an environment to match - especially this year's Christmas Panto. The garden provides a lovely place to spend time in the summer months.
We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your Husband in our care at Puttenham Hill Care. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. It is great to hear that he got to experience the activities and enjoyed the food. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved one's stay as comfortable as possible.
My uncle and auntie (brother and sister) were both residents at Puttenham Hill House for nearly 5 years and 3 years respectively. My cousins and I attended the crematorium today for the spreading of their ashes. Neither ever married and had lived together for over 80 years, the last few at BUPA's Puttenham Hill House. They are now together again RIP. The staff there are fantastic. My uncle and aunt could not have had better care, they were happy and content, with the best of nursing care, support - and lovely food. Thank you to everyone at Puttenham Hill House.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave the staff at Puttenham Hill House Care Home such a lovely review. It is always amazing to hear our staff described as "friendly" and "helpful". We hope that your mother continues to enjoy her stay at the home!
A huge thank you to the amazing team at Puttenham Hill House for looking after Dad so well following his knee operation. The two weeks post-op care allowed him to recover, build his strength and gain confidence before returning home to live on his own. All of the team are very friendly and courteous when dealing with a 92-year-old man who has lived on his own for a long while. The team quickly identified Dad's needs and supported him. I would also like to send my thanks to all at Puttenham Hill, their care has allowed Dad to build firm foundations so he can return to enjoying life more quickly.
