Review from Julia J (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 4 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law was discharged after many weeks in hospital to Stowlangtoft Hall following a massive stroke and brain bleed. We were told of the limitations she would have in hospital and life seemed rather bleak for her.
She has been in the home for 4-weeks, and the change in her is absolutely miraculous. Her speech and cognition had been badly affected, and although it had been improving slightly, it has come on leaps and bounds since she arrived at Stowlangtoft. Amazingly, she is now also mobilising the arm, which had been affected by her stroke. She has a newfound energy and commitment to have a go at life again.

The staff treat her with such tenderness and attentiveness. She has been able to form relationships with her carers and nurses. They are a great team and you can see how well they work together, especially during these Covid stressed times. I have found communication with the office and other members of staff incredibly clear, helpful and reassuring.

Review from Peter B (Grandson of Resident) published on 18 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Stowlangtoft Hall was a lovely last leg in a very long journey for my 98-year-old grandfather.

A more caring home you could not ask for. Staff are diligent and were incredibly kind to both him and the family throughout his stay. During the very challenging time of COVID, the home did everything within its guidelines to provide visiting opportunities and support for his transition.

The activity coordinator ensured he kept up his social experience, and the French chef allowed him to maintain his linguistic skills. Through good nutritional support and encouragement, he regained his independent mobility allowing him to access more of the variety of the home of communal rooms.

At the end of his life, the home was nothing short of remarkable. Responsive, kind, compassionate and attentive without being intrusive. A difficult time was made much easier, and his end of life care was carried out in a familiar place where his relatives could be with him.

We will be forever grateful.

Review from Ellie B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so grateful to all involved with Stow Healthcare, and in particular, those staff at Stowlangtoft Hall, for all they have done for our family member. They provided excellent care for our loved one, treated him with great respect and always tried their best to engage him in activities, cater for his needs and interests, and accommodate his treasured possessions. Sadly, his spell at the Hall was not for long before he passed, but the care he received at the end of his life was brilliant, and the compassion they showed the family was really appreciated. Thank you so much for all that you did for our family.

Overall Experience

A care home that feels like home. My mum has been a resident for over a year and is full of praise for the staff and all they do. They have been remarkable during this last year, doing their best to maintain safe visiting. The health and happiness of the resident are important, and the staff really get to know the residents as individuals.

Overall Experience

My husband has been a resident at Stowlangtoft Hall since December 2018. He has Parkinson's and Lewey Body Dementia. After breaking his pelvis, he has been unable to stand or walk. The staff have looked after him extremely well and with love. They are also very caring and supportive of me, and of the family when they visit. His care has been second to none from day one; we could not have wished for more or better.

Review from Dorothy M (Wife of Resident) published on 25 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I joined a group at the age of 15 to be in the caring profession. I qualified as an SRN in 1959. My husband has a complex medical health problem. It was in 1997 that mental health care became abysmal, and I was forced to source help myself. I settle on Stowlangroft Hall as I was happy with all I saw and heard. Everyone was very kind, happy, caring and welcoming. I was also impressed with your lovely residents. My husband's relatives think the same as me; lovely building and staff.

My mother is safe and well cared for at Stowlangtoft Hall. She is kept in good health, and even small health issues are dealt with. The activities are excellent and greatly enjoyed by my mother. There is always something new happening and relatives are informed about the programme on a weekly basis. I always look forward to the newsletter, especially the photos. Thank you, everyone!

Review from Mark S (Grandson of Resident) published on 22 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandfather came to Stowlangtoft Hall for some respite care in 2019 and never wanted to leave, so he became a permanent resident. He prefers a quieter life and doesn’t join in with every activity that is on offer, and seems to of struck a nice bond with the staff. As a family, we can’t thank you all enough throughout the pandemic; well done to everyone.

Reply from Eve Fynn, Marketing and Communications Lead at Stowlangtoft Hall

Review from Karen N (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This has been an unprecedented year for everyone. My mum moved to the care home just a few weeks before the first National Lockdown, so contact has been restricted for us. The staff at Stowlangtoft have been excellent in managing the situation during the past year, with residents given utmost priority as to their well being and safety, but at the same time, ensuring relatives are being kept up to date at all times.
I have found the staff really helpful and caring, and as a relative, feel part of the "Stowlangtoft Family".
I am looking forward to (and hoping) that we can move back to a more normal world shortly.

A huge thank you to all the staff at Stowlangtoft for their hard work during these difficult times and for giving me the peace of mind that my mum is being cared for so well.

Review from Richard h (Son of Resident) published on 16 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father (94) initially came for respite care, but within a matter of days decided he wanted to stay at Stowlangtoft Hall permanently. He loved the ambience of the home, the friendly, attentive staff as well as the other residents. Unfortunately, my father died at the end of September, but we, as a family, have nothing but praise for the way he was looked after in those last few days by all the staff at every level. The care was truly exceptional - thank you.

Overall Experience

Stowlangtoft Hall has been caring for our mum for nearly four years. Their approach has always been friendly and professional. As we are distant and visit infrequently, it is a great comfort to know that Mum is being cared for in a kind and attentive community. The activities team are an excellent source of events and interests, and we value the regular newsletters, which include pictures of the community.

Review from C B (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum has been at Stowlangtoft for just over a year. During that time she’s had a big stroke which necessitated weeks in hospital. Staff were quick to observe the stroke, speedy to summon help and as a result, with encouragement all round once she returned, has made pretty much a full recovery. We do not know of any member of staff who has been less than kind and helpful – the team are excellent. All activities are very inclusive and there’s a wide range available from curling, through music and movement to craft and gardening. Mum joins in with pretty much everything and is enthusiastic. She's happy and we hear laughter regularly. This year has been difficult with coronavirus but the team there have managed to keep the virus out by taking a great many sensible precautions around health and hygiene. They’ve also managed to keep the residents upbeat and happy despite relatives being unable to visit. Management have kept us all advised regularly. Excellent!

Excellent respite stay. Careing, professional staff who quickly got to know the client's needs encourages independence and participation in activities whilst caring for personal needs and enabling recuperation post-hospital admission. Excellent food, lovely environment. Would highly recommend and may use more regularly if one-week stays are catered for.

My mother had been a resident at Stowlangtoft Hall since January 2015 she has received outstanding health care and attention. The staff and management have always been extremely kind, attentive and courteous and played along to her great sense of humour.

The Hall is set in beautiful surroundings and her room has been light and airy it has been a great relief to know she has been so well cared for and in her final days she was treated with so much dignity and compassion. We will always be so grateful.

My aunt has been a resident of Stowlangtoft Hall for several years. Whenever I have visited her I have found her to be receiving excellent care in a beautifully maintained home that is set in fabulous countryside. The staff have always been so lovely, kind and have been so caring in their dealings with both her and us her family. The caring and compassionate ethos of this family-run home are evident in every level of its management and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Review from Michael M (Son of Resident) published on 20 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We couldn't have found a better 'home from home' for our father to live out his final months/year. The home and staff were very good. Dad was at home from the moment he arrived, just as though he has always lived here. He was not one to mix too much, but this was not a problem for the staff, they went beyond the call to look after our dad's needs. I cannot say that you would find a better place to entrust your relatives care to. We cannot praise the staff enough as they cared for our dad to the very end. We would have no problem with recommending the home and staff to anyone.
