Thank you so much.
I like to think that she had an awareness that she was in, competent, caring hands. The staff were friendly and helpful from the time I walked into reception right through to their care for Mum. They were diligent in their day-to-day care and spent much time talking to me and keeping me updated on her deteriorating condition.
My father had a very pleasant and efficient arrival at Inglewood. They helped him to recover from his initial ailments and enabled him to gain mobility and confidence for his final months.
I think very highly of your staff.
Dignified, caring, compassionate and respectful care provided for my mum's end of life. Sucha welcome, peaceful, caring space after the chaos of a general hospital, and staff who cared for both Mum and all the family with love and compassion throughout Mum's time at Inglewood. (Could do with stretcher lift.)
Inglewood was one of two homes that we as a family felt we would be happy for my mum to move into, and we were fortunate that there was a vacancy when she needed it. The home is welcoming, clean and well maintained with cheerful rooms surrounded by lovely gardens. Really though, it's the people who make Inglewood the home from home that it is. Without exception, the staff have been kind and attentive to us as well as to mama. It's such a relief to know that she is being so well looked after. Thank you.
Constantly being re-painted etc - never tatty and lovely food. The one home we've visited!
At his moment of death and afterwards, I felt loved and supported we were part of a family. Thank you, Inglewood.
My father's care was wonderful and all the staff from cleaners, carers and nurses were great. My father died in there and post-death until the funeral directors they were exemplary.
A home that I would recommend to anyone.
First impressions - amazing! Having had my mother-in-law in two previous, local homes where care and attention was awful, to find Inglewood is a gift! The environment, staff, gardens, laundry, food, activities, communal areas, are all 5 *. The staff know my mother-in-law so well and she has only been there a few weeks.
We use Inglewood as a respite facility for my mother (mid 90's) when I am out of the country. Shis happy to settle there, especially as it is so close the her home. She is able to be accompanied home each day to maintain a link with the cat, which is of course, is pleased to see her! She enjoys the activities arranged, especially the outings. We are happy to consider Inglewood as our first point of call and appreciate their ready support whenever needed.
My father in law was terminally ill and had been in hospital for a number of weeks before Inglewood accepted him. He was not the easiest of patients, however, the staff and manager always made him and us feel extremely welcome and they remained fantastic with his care. When he passed away their support to the family was amazing. We did not feel pressured at any point and I would not hesitate should the need arise to use their services again. The care and approach are outstanding and the environment is beautiful with an air of calmness at any time.
My friend was admitted in a terminal state and deteriorated quickly and the transition for him was done with dignity and compassion. Every member of staff acted very well toward him.
I was very happy with the treatment my mother received. From her admittance which was handled quickly and being able to move her to a better room after a few days, right through to all members of staff who were kind, considerate and helpful. The nursing staff were wonderful and overall I was very glad I had chosen Inglewood for my mother's end of life care.
Everything about Inglewood is excellent.
My husband stayed in Inglewood for seven weeks until he died. I always found the staff very friendly, and when I went to visit him he always looked well cared for and as happy as he could be. I would sometimes take him out in his wheelchair and the staff were always very helpful in getting him ready for the trip to the park. In all a very nice home.
Excellent care all round. No fault to be found.
I think ALL the staff at Inglewood are to be praised for their hard work.
From the initial enquiry to the final moments of my fathers life, I do not believe the staff could have been more helpful. I am grateful that his last few hours were spent in such a lovely room, surrounded by caring, considerate and compassionate staff. When the end came I was unable to be there but a member of staff was there with him for his final moments which gives me a great sense of relief. I am very grateful.
