Review from Allyson F (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at Puttenham for a year now. I feel no words are enough, no trumpet fanfares loud enough to praise every aspect of the home. They have made her transition to a Nursing Home wonderful with their compassion, understanding, unfaltering care. Rooms are so light and airy, very refreshing. Activities are varied, also trips out which are wonderful. When I visit walking in is a breath of fresh air always greeted with genuine smiles. Thank you all, my mind rests knowing Mum is in such caring, wonderful hands from every one of you.

Review from Jack H (Grandson of Resident) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic and very caring staff. Very welcoming when my grandfather arrived at the home, they couldn't do enough to help him and us as a family. They kept us informed every step of the way regardless of how busy they were. All staff offered their full support throughout my grandfather's time with them. Could not recommend them enough! Thank you all so much for your help, care and support

If you are looking for a care home for a loved one and there is a room available at Puttenhams Hill Care Home please look no further! My mum has been at Puttenham Hill for 6 months now and it is a huge relief to know that she is happy there. The staff are so kind and caring and treat residents with such love and compassion. My mum is always laughing when the staff are with her, which is so lovely to see. The kindness is very much extended to family and friends.

Wonderful place!

Review from Jacqueline J (Respite Resident) published on 29 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After breaking my hip, I came to Puttenham Hill for 2 weeks of respite care. It was the best decision I could have made, I was given the very best of care by all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The meals were delicious, and the activities were a great addition to my day. The manager made a point of speaking to me every day and the other staff - all of which I knew by name, were simply wonderful, so kind and patient, but with such a lovely sense of humour that brightened every day. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Overall Experience

Since my arrival here last February, I have been very impressed by how friendly and reliable the members of staff have proved to be and how well I have been cared for. I have been made to feel very much at home here and am so pleased my relation had prior knowledge about how good this home would be for me. My health concerns have been looked after well and my room made very homely with items I was allowed to bring from my house. Many activities are arranged regularly for us.

Review from J M (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum became a resident at Puttenham Hill House Care Home in December 2022 after another care home closed. She's been a resident for two months, at a time when the call alert system was changed and the home had Covid which meant the residents were confirmed to their rooms for two-plus weeks. I've found the home to be bright and cheery. The staff are welcoming and caring. The management appears to be liked and endorsed by the staff. All staff, from carers to housekeeping, are always helpful when I visit.

Overall Experience

I have now been here one year and my daughters and I are very pleased we chose this home. It is not too big at all and is in a building that originated as a country home which gives it a homely feeling and appearance. The management and the staff are very pleasant, kind, willing and helpful and hardworking and include a trained RN. The food is good and adequate, the building is well cleaned. The resident's laundry is done on-site.

On June 4th I went to my mother's home to celebrate The Queens Jubilee. The staff had put so much work into ensuring the residents and families had a lovely day. The staff had come in on their time off. It is the most caring loving family environment. Thank you Puttenham Hill House Care Home for all you have done and continue to do.

Review from M G (Husband of Resident) published on 25 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Following my wife's admission to Puttenham Hill House Care Home during lockdown mid-May 2020, due to strict adherence to covid-19 infection control, they have kept her safe. I have found the staff to be friendly and very willing to help during these most stressful 15 months. Easing of restrictions plus personal visits has improved morale drastically. As well as appreciating the dedication of all care staff, I wish to record my thanks to the Activity Facilities Coordinator who always remained positive and cheerful.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Puttenham Hill House Care Home
