The staff and nursing team are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The variety of activities for the residents is excellent and has brought enjoyment and happiness to my mum. I would strongly recommend the home to anyone looking for a place for a loved one.
Dear John, many thanks for your kind review. We are so pleased that you feel our home is warm, friendly and welcoming, as well as clean and tidy. Staff work hard to provide a comfortable home-from-home for your loved one (and our other residents), giving them all the care and attention that they so deserve.
The staff are all very friendly and efficient and my mum is always very clean and presentable. She is on the end of life care but the staff still speak to her as they would to any other resident. Her room is always clean and tidy as are all the common rooms. An excellent and caring and well run home.
Thank you for looking after him for the last 5 weeks of his life, he couldn't have been better looked after.
Many thanks. Rani
My mother was received into Inglewood as an end of life patient. From the beginning, she was treated with extreme respect and kindness from every member of staff. All her needs were met and she enjoyed a calm and peaceful last few months of life. Our family are very grateful to everyone who was involved in her care.
Kind regards
Rani
From the moment I walked into the home, from the receptionist, management and all the other staff, nurses, care workers that I met all made me feel very at home and part of a big family! it was lovely! I can't comment on value because my wife had a funded place. But I was made very welcome by everyone from the day she went into the home until she passed away on 5/11/21. Thank you. They have all asked me to keep in contact which is lovely.
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. I will pass on your review to our wonderful team
The care and professionalism of the staff at Inglewood were excellent.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition of the team.
We couldn't have had any better care for our mum. The staff are amazing.
Thank you for your kind words about Inglewood, it is very much appreciated.
The home is kept scrupulously clean and is well maintained. The managers and admin staff always keep me updated on events and also if there are any procedures that I need to be aware of. This was particularly helpful during the worst of the pandemic.
I would thoroughly recommend the home to anyone considering this option for an elderly relative.
If I have one criticism, it would be that so called extras such as pads should be included in the monthly bill and not charged separately.
We have found Inglewood to be very helpful and flexible with family visitors. They take great care and ensure that every visitor is tested for COVID-19. The rooms are very pleasant and the atmosphere is relaxed. The staff seem very capable of doing a very necessary and tough job.
You feel confident that your loved one is being looked after with care and dignity.
From the day my husband was admitted to Inglewood Nursing Home I visited him every day along with my son and other family members. We always found the staff kind, helpful and above all very caring. At such a very sad time in our lives, we could not have asked for any better help and support. At every step of our sad journey, the staff from reception, nurses, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff and management have all been friendly and helpful so much so that I now feel we have made such lovely friends. We thank you all.
We extend our condolences to you and all your family. We appreciate your kind words and will continue to do our best to make everyone feel part of our family. Thank you.
My father spent the last 6 months of his life at Inglewood. During the time he was at Inglewood he was always treated with dignity, immense kindness and respect. Whenever I visited, which was limited due to Covid, everyone had a smile and made me feel welcome. When I visited him on his birthday last September three lovely nurses came in with a birthday card, a present and a cake and sang Happy Birthday to him, it's little kindnesses like this that mean so much. He sadly passed away two weeks ago and we will always be truly grateful for the loving care and kindness that was given to him and to us, his family, throughout his stay, especially in his final days. Thank you all so much, we are so grateful that we found you.
The Inglewood Team.
My dad came to Inglewood for end of life care and the staff were so incredibly kind, caring and loving to my father. They laughed with him, made him feel at home and when the time came, they treated him with enormous dignity and love in his last days. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Dad at Inglewood, the care was exemplary.
Many thanks for your kind words. It was both a pleasure and a privilege to care for your dad and he is very much missed at the home. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to you and your family for your sad loss, and also our very best wishes for the future.
My husband was transferred from Pentlow, another home of Canford group. Unfortunately, covid-19 had already caused lockdown, so my visits were limited, having only three half-hour visits from mid-June until his health deteriorated in July. Sadly, he passed away. I had every confidence in the care that he received whilst he was there and could not fault the care and support that both of us were shown in his last week.
Many thanks for your kind words. They mean so much to the staff and the home. I'd just like to say, too, that it was real pleasure and privilege to have been able to care for your lovely husband, even for just those few weeks, and to support you and your family. We would like to wish you and the family all the best.
My father spent the last 6-months of his life in Inglewood. I visited regularly, and I was always impressed with the care, attention and dignity that he was given by all staff. Due to his diagnosis of senile dementia, he could present with challenging behaviour. This was managed professionally and sensitively in their dealings with him and interactions with his family. I cannot fault the establishment and will always be grateful for everything they did.
Dear S S, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a privilege and pleasure to look after your dad and he is greatly missed by us all here at the home. Please accept our very best wishes for you and your lovely family from the team.
My mother was admitted to the Inglewood care home in January 2020. The level of care given to my mother who had very specific needs was exemplary in every way. Not only all the basic needs covered to an exceptional standard, but great care and dignity were given, especially during the lockdown period to support both my mum/our family in challenging circumstances. We are immensely grateful for the genuine care and attention given throughout the stay, and cannot speak more highly of the professionalism and service given.
Hi James, many thanks for your kind and generous words. It was a real pleasure to meet you and your family and to care for your mother. We were delighted that we were able to reunite her with your father before he passed away. Please accept our condolences for your sad loss and our best wishes to you all for the future.
My mother went to Inglewood Nursing Home following a period in hospital. On her release we were told that she had only weeks to live. Thanks to a high standard of nursing care and the many dedicated members of staff she remained with us for a further 2 1/2 years. She considered many of the staff her friends and enjoyed having a laugh and a joke with therm. Whenever we visited the home we were always welcomed by friendly staff and witnessed being cared for in a way which allowed them to maintain their humanity.
My husband entered this nursing home for end of life care. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff who at all times were caring and patient with my husband, who had dementia. They were always friendly towards me at a difficult time and I am very grateful.
My mother was happy in Inglewood and well looked after considering her chronic physical illness. Inglewood kept me informed on a regular basis as to Mum's health and did not hesitate to summon emergency assistance when she became ill.
My mother was here for just over three years and was very happy. She did not want to be anywhere else. The staff treated us as family and treated Mum as their family. The rooms are cosy, warm and comfy, cleaned every day and the food is excellent and choices are extensive. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment team is the best I have ever experienced together with regular trips out for residents. Mum was well cared for and in my experience of care homes could not have been in a better place. I did not worry about her as I knew she was in caring hands in a safe home. When I went to visit I was always treated with respect. Well done Inglewood and thank you. I will miss my regular visits to Inglewood and would like to thank you all for your dignified, compassionate care and warm smiling welcomes. The manager and team are always on hand with regular updates and in my opinion, the home is well-led. Thank you. I would not hesitate to recommend Inglewood.
