Review from Anne D (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Puttenham Hill House since August 2019, the care mum receives is exceptional. The staff treat her with the greatest respect and dignity. We as a family have noticed such an improvement in Mum's mental health since she went to live at Puttenham Hill House. She seems to have gained a new lease of life, it is so lovely to see her smiling, laughing and reciting poetry as she once did. The communication between staff and our family has been excellent, especially in this last year of Covid restrictions.

Reply from Penelope Kudelnitzky, Customer Service Adviser at Puttenham Hill House Care Home

Thank you for your kind review and for your understanding during such a difficult time. We appreciate it is very hard not being able to see your loved one for such a long time. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is well cared for and looked after. It's great...

Looking after Mum very well, she is very happy here. They are doing all they can to make Covid visits as safe and as comfortable as possible, and let you know if visits cannot take place because of Covid and arrange a Zoom meeting instead, so you can still have a chat with Mum.

Review from Cheryl T (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Nan has been a resident for 3-years now, and I honestly have not seen her this happy in years. Considering she was close to passing when she moved in, she has bounced back with life and happiness thanks to the great care you have provided for her. So many things for her to see and do, she’s got a more interesting social life than I do! Thank you so much for putting the life back in my nan; it’s been great to see her smile.

Review from Carol B (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 May 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

In the few short months my mum was a resident at Puttenham Hill House, the staff and carers were so lovely (as were the nurses) who were all so friendly. It was a great atmosphere. The entertainment/activity coordinator obviously enjoyed laying on all sorts of fun and activity and also arranged a face to face video link with my mum, which I feel went above and beyond her normal role. I and my family would like to extend our appreciation to all the carers etc who looked after mum with care, dignity and "love" at a time when we could not be with her. Thank you all.

Review from Robert N (Son of Resident) published on 18 May 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was offered Puttenham Hill House as one of several options in January for palliative care following the return of her cancer. We chose Puttenham Hill as it appeared the most friendly, bright, and homely of those we viewed and with welcoming staff. In Mum's 3 month stay, we have not been disappointed, and even during COVID-19, the staff has been excellent. We hope they all stay safe and continue the good work.

Review from Clair G (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum stayed here for her last couple of months for end of life care. I was very concerned about her going into a home due to all the press you read. However, my concerns very quickly disappeared. The home is spotlessly clean, also my mum was allowed a glass of wine whenever she wanted and the chefs even ordered in her favourite food. I often stayed to have lunch with her or tea and cake in the afternoon which made the visits and the final time I spent with my Mum very precious. Also, each and every single one of the team were caring and gave my mum dignity, from the managers, carers to the chefs. Not forgetting the lovely nurses, one of them even stayed with my Mum in her final hour so she was not alone.

My Mum was very precious to me and if Puttenham Hill was good enough for my mum I promise you if you have to go through the same you will not be disappointed in Puttenham Hill, it is amazing!

Review from M W (Son of Resident) published on 25 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
A lovely atmosphere where everyone says hello and makes you feel welcome. You get the impression that the majority of the staff really care for the clients and enjoy their job. Agency staff have left my mother feeling "forgotten" and a hindrance but this is rare.

Fresh home cooked food with a great menu and enjoyed despite my mother being a very fussy eater.

Review from Jean H (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our Mum has been at Puttenham Hill now for six years. One of the reasons we chose this home was because it had the feeling of being a real home and not a large purpose built institution – a home from home!

The staff are brilliant - caring, understanding and at the same time totally professional and efficient; several have been there since she first went there! The food is of excellent quality and the home is kept impeccably clean.

The Activity Coordinator is imaginative, working tirelessly to: devise outings; provide a wide variety of diversions and activities; organise seasonal events; and still find time for a one-to-one with residents. Celebrations like Christmas, Easter and Summer Fairs are lively and relaxed with lots of visiting animals and children; and laughter!

Thank you Puttenham Hill for giving us peace of mind that our Mum is well looked after, safe and happy!

Enjoyed yummy fish and chips and a lovely trip[ to Portsmouth with mum the lovely staff and some of the residents.
As a family, we didn't think that we would get a chance to go to the sea altogether again but thanks to the lovely staff we did.
Mum had a lovely time and we are very grateful to all the staff here for everything they do to help and look after mum on a daily basis.

All the staff go above and beyond to look after the residents and are always friendly and welcoming to us as a family. Thank you.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff for the care that they showed mum in her time at your home (it was like home).

Mum felt she was among friends with all of you. The professional approach always shone through and well, what more can I say other than thank you and keep caring.

Overall Experience
Mum needs full-time palliative care. My husband and I viewed a number of homes, some of those made us question whether this was the best course of action for Mum.
On entering Puttenham Hill our worries were allayed. The environment the staff have created is one of care, happiness and safety. Beautiful rooms and lovely lounges.

Mum feels safe and secure. All aspects of her care needs are catered for. Thank you to all included for looking after her.

I am very happy with the care that my grandfather receives all of the carers are wonderful and they work so hard in the home, my grandfather always looks so well cared for every time I visit. He especially enjoys the activities and loves the ducks that have hatched at Puttenham Hill, I can't thank the care staff enough for all that they do. The manager is always pleasant and deals with any concerns I have. Very good service.
