From the very beginning, the Home Manager was incredible kind, thoughtful, compassionate and always accommodating to our mother's needs. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt listened to and supported during a very difficult time.
The nurses were outstanding, providing not only the highest standards of professional care but also genuine warmth, reassurance and dignity every step of the way. Their support meant so much to both our mother and our family.
A special thank you also goes to the housekeeping team, who helped make Inglewood feel like a true home. Their friendliness, care and attention to detail created a welcoming and comfortable environment, and nothing ever seemed like a chore.
Most importantly, we always knew our mother was safe, respected, and receiving the very best care possible.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I will be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to our whole team, who will be very touched to hear how much their care and support meant to your mother and your...
It was a very hard to admit that Mum needed more care than we could give her at home. We viewed a lot of homes and we knew as soon as we visited Inglewood that we wanted her to stay there. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Mum has a lovely room that we have been able to add things from home to make her feel more comfortable. She is well cared for and she is happy and that is really what you want in these circumstances.
Thank you for your kind words.
We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision for a loved one to move into a care home, and we're so pleased that you felt comfortable choosing Inglewood. It's lovely to hear that your mum has settled in well and that her room feels like...
They made my husband's final months as comfortable as possible and supported our family during this difficult time. The level of care for our family member was comprehensive and compassionate and at all times and gave us confidence in the care level that he was being provided was appropriate to his needs. Support of our visiting family was also caring and professional at all times from at all levels of staff including cleaners, nursing, support and management.
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We're truly grateful to know your husband felt supported and cared for, and that your family received compassion during such a difficult time.
Kind regards

The staff were always very polite and welcoming. The home has a lovely warm atmosphere. I peaceful and restful place for peoples final days. Thank you all for your kind attention and care of my aunt.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will pass the message to all our team.
Absolutely amazing! Nothing was ever too much. I especially loved the fact that near the end was obvious my dad could not get out of bed, but even when he asked to sit in the chair, he wasn't fobbed off. He was treated with respect as they would bring the 'alds' in probably knowing full well it wasn't going to happen. I will always be grateful for the dignity and respect my dad was given.
Thank you for your lovely message. We're so pleased to hear that your dad was treated with the dignity and respect he deserved. It means a great deal to us that you felt supported and cared for during such a difficult time. We're truly grateful for your kind words.Kind regards
I am relieved that my sister is being so well cared for in her final weeks. She is treated kindly and with respect for her dignity. I am always made to feel welcome by the friendly staff, and I am contacted if there are concerns. As I live at a distance, it is very useful for me to access the App, which gives constant communication about my sister's condition, her nutrition and detailed nursing care.
Dear Jane,Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly glad to hear that you feel supported and reassured during this time. It means a lot to us to know that your sister is comfortable and that the care team is meeting your expectations. We're always here for you and your family.Kind regards
My mum has only been at Inglewood a short while but has settled in well. This is down to the kind and caring staff who are truly amazing. They have great empathy and always listen if you have any concerns. They show great kindness towards the residents and genuinely care. The setting is lovely with beautiful gardens, and the home is kept well and is clean.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad to hear your mum has settled in well - it means a lot to the team. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Kind regards.
Immediate impressions were of a clean, organised and professional operation. All staff are always polite and cheerful, openly greeting visitors. Staff are always helpful, the quality of staff from the manager, nurses and all support staff is more than sufficient, carrying out their duties professionally. Highly recommended for all care and well-being for patients.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we remain committed to providing the best care and support for all our residents. Kind regards
Our relative was very well looked after and it gave us peace of mind in their final months of life. The staff were very friendly and did a great job.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will pass the message to all our team. Kind regards
My mum spent the last six months of her life at Inglewood Nursing Home, after experiences in two other local care homes. The staff across all areas were consistently empathetic, patient, and hardworking. A special mention goes to the activities and housekeeping teams, who maintained a genuine human connection with my mother - something so important for her mental well-being.
The facilities were always clean and welcoming, and the food was both nutritious and tasty, far better than we had seen elsewhere. We also felt well informed about mum's care plan, with clear communication and a detailed diary tracking her health, which gave us great reassurance. It gave us great comfort to know that mum's final months were spent in a place where she was as happy as her health allowed, and where she was so well cared for. We are very grateful to the whole team.
Thank you for your kind review and it was our absolute privilege to have cared for your mum and your lovely comments about our team will be shared them with. We pride ourselves in supporting our residents as well as ensuring that loved ones are kept well informed and we are delighted to hear that this was your experience. Best wishes
My husband was transferred from the hospital to Inglewood for palliative end-of-life care and was always treated with the utmost dignity at this stage of his life. From the moment I stepped into the reception, I knew he was in the right place. The management and staff were totally committed to making sure that he received the best possible treatment despite his frailty. I was able to connect to his personal care records, which I found comforting in the knowledge that he was being so well looked after. I cannot thank you enough.
Thank you for your kind words. We're truly grateful to know that your husband felt safe and cared for at Inglewood. It was our privilege to support him and your family during such a meaningful time. Your message means a great deal to our team. Kind regards
Both receptionists are very welcoming and respectful. All the staff were very caring, friendly and happy to take the time to listen and be supportive. My father was treated with care and consideration. He was treated as a person, not just a room number. I was contacted regularly if there were any concerns with my father's health. I am very grateful to all staff for making my father's last months as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Thank you for your kind words. We're truly grateful for your appreciation and are glad to know your father felt cared for and respected. Our team strives to provide compassionate and personalized care, and your feedback means so much to us. Wishing you and your family comfort and peace. Kind regards
My family and I cannot thank you enough for the impeccable nursing care offered to my aunt following transfer to Inglewood from hospital over the final 2 weeks of her long life. As a (retired) doctor myself, I am so impressed - absolutely first class, from our first exploratory visit in a state of some distress with the burden of arranging swift transfer from an acute hospital, through to the transfer itself and subsequent beautiful end of life care for my aunt as well as sympathetic and kind interactions with any visiting family. My aunt's comfort and care was clearly paramount for every staff member. I was particularly grateful be able to remotely access her electronic nursing records which were updated at least 3 times per day and offered regular assurance of her ongoing good quality care, including reports of GP visits - and there were also phone calls to alert me to significant changes so that I could keep her (similarly elderly) sisters updated as necessary. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a great deal to our team to hear that we were able to provide comfort and care to your aunt and support your family during such a difficult time. Ensuring dignity, compassion, and high-quality care is always our priority, and we...
It has been my experience when visiting my friend that the home is extremely well run. The staff are caring, helpful, friendly and cheerful. They seem to take every care of the residents. Plenty of activity going on physio, exercises etc.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad to hear that you had a positive experience and that our staff made you feel welcome. We always strive to provide the best care and a happy environment for our residents. Your thoughtful message means a lot to us!
When we realised that dad needed to move into a Nursing Home, we felt like rabbits caught in the headlights and it was a very scary time. There were big decisions for us to make, this was all new to us and we found everything really daunting. If you are in that situation rest assured, Inglewood is a very special nursing home and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your loved one stay there.
The day room is the heart of the home, the TV is amazing and the residents seem to be very happy there. Each day there are activities for the residents to enjoy and the team of experts looking after your loved one 24/7 are all really nice people and highly trained in their area of expertise. The kindness and patience we have seen them show to the residents is second to none.
We know that dad is safe and happy at Inglewood and we are most grateful to everyone for taking such good care of him. There are so many positive things to say but most importantly, we have peace of mind.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. We understand how difficult the decision can be, and it means a lot to know that Inglewood has brought comfort and peace of mind to you and your family. We're delighted that your dad feels safe and happy here, and we truly appreciate your kind recognition...
Most of the regular staff are friendly and caring. However the staff seem stretched at times due to their workload and occasionally need prompting when aspects of personal care are missed. Outside entertainers are good but otherwise hit and miss.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you find our staff friendly and caring. We understand the challenges at times and are always working to improve our care and support. Your input on entertainment is also appreciated, and we'll look into making it more consistent. Please feel free to share any further thoughts, we value your perspective. Kind regards.
