Review from R S (Resident / Service User) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
This is a lovely home to be in, set in beautiful grounds.
Staff are hard-working, pleasant and friendly and bearing in mind that we all have different needs and wants, try to respond to us as individuals.

However, they are often under pressure and cannot always respond to calls quickly. Probably not enough of them, especially at the busiest times of the day. This is particularly difficult for those confined to bed and needing the most help.

Reply from Eden Tomlinson, Customer Service Adviser at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. Our resident’s health and well-being is an absolute priority. We will discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve their service.

Overall Experience

There has been a marked improvement since a new manager arrived. Things get done when requested and staff all appear to be happier and more positive. We hope things continue to improve, but we are aware this can only be achieved by employing and retaining good staff. The manager and receptionist are very motivated and are doing a great job over and above their roles.

Pendean House Care Home has a caring staff who treat guests with respect, dignity and kindness creating a warm and welcoming environment. They are aware of personal needs and establish meaningful and rewarding relationships with guests. Residents are made to feel safe and secure. The well-equipped rooms are pleasant places to be. Pendean doesn't feel like an institution but more like a home. All in all, there are many factors combined to make Pendean a very special place.

I found the room extremely comfortable most of the staff friendly, but not overly familiar. the grounds were well kept and impressive and the food was of good standard.

It's proximity to the main road made it easy for visitors to find.

Overall Experience

A much-awaited visit to see friends we had not been able to see for such a long time. A truly warm and friendly welcome. The staff in general were kind and caring and had such a very good sense of humour, as well as their evident passionate vocations in caring for their residents. Truly impressed and overwhelmed by the care and compassion shown not just to our beloved friends, but to us as well. So happy in the knowledge that our elderly loved ones are in such a safe, friendly and loving home. Cannot thank you all or recommend Pendean highly enough.

Reply from Amanda Barnes, Customer Service Adviser at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your visit to our home to see your friends and that you felt welcomed on arrival. It is nice to hear words such as ''kind'' and ''caring'' to describe our staff. Thank you for your recommendation.

Review from Phil P (Grandson of Resident) published on 28 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Following the short-notice closure of her former Care Home, my Grandmother was warmly welcomed by the Pendean House Care Home Team. They understood how unsettling the process can be and I have witnessed the extraordinarily high level of professionalism, care and devotion they have given.

The Management and Administrative Team, Nurses, Carers and Housekeeping Staff have all been tremendous. It has been a joy to build a rapport with everyone looking after my Grandmother and nothing has been too much trouble.

Due to family members being unable to visit for a protracted period of time, I have been made to feel at ease when asking both clinical and care questions on behalf of my family; nothing has been too much trouble and when my Grandmother has found things challenging, the staff have ensured her needs met, she is supported and feels settled.

I am sincerely grateful to everyone at Pendean for all the help and support they have provided to my Grandmother and the whole family.

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

Thank you for taking the time to write us this lovely review. We are so glad to have been able to help support your Grandmother and the family through such an unsettling time. We are so happy that you are all now feeling like part of our Pendean House family. Thank you again for your kind words.

A good care/nursing home with very helpful and considerate staff (to the residents and relatives). The difficulties introduced by Covid and its associated restrictions were well handled with a good balance between society and continued support for residents and access for relatives.

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Pendean House for just over 4 weeks and we are both very happy that she is in a lovely home. The staff are all very caring, friendly and cheerful and happy to walk mum around the garden if she is up to it. She has a lovely large room with a wetroom bathroom. The staff help her shower and blow dry her hair for her. When she first went in she was unable to walk a few yards without having to sit down out of breath and she was not eating or looking after herself. Although she is at "end of life", she is so much better now and is managing to eat small amounts.

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

Thank you for your review. It is always so nice to hear words like "caring, friendly, cheerful and happy" used to describe our staff. We are glad that Mum has picked up a bit more. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make her stay as comfortable as possible.

Amanda TerryJob Title:Senior Care AssistantJoined: 2010

I am a Senior Care Assistant at Pendean House as well as an Engagement Champion and Fire Trainer.

When my dad died from cancer his care wasn't the best. I started working with a home care agency and later came to Pendean in the hope I could make a difference in people's lives.

What I love most about working at a care home is that every day is different and I have the privilege of assisting our elderly residents in their day-to-day life at Pendean House.

Outside of work, I am mum to 5 amazing children and I am slightly animal crazy! My dream is to swim with pigs in the Bahamas!
