I visit my friend weekly, and at each visit I am welcomed by staff with a lovely smile and request if I want a cup of tea and sometimes a cake. I notice with pleasure that residents will be taken outside in fresh air and sunshine, which is a great improvement than all sitting in a semicircle with no fresh air and TV blaring out. Something I notice patients being put to bed around 3 to help the staff. On the whole, a good care home.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for visiting your friend so regularly.
It's lovely to hear that you always receive such a warm welcome from the team. We're also pleased you've noticed residents spending more time outdoors enjoying the fresh air and sunshine whenever the weather allows. We know how much these moments can contribute to people's wellbeing.
Thank you also for your comment about residents spending time in their rooms during the afternoon. We understand how this may have appeared. Our aim is always to support residents according to their individual preferences and routines. Some people genuinely enjoy an afternoon rest or some quiet time in their room, while others prefer to stay in the communal areas or take part in activities. We always try to respect those individual choices rather than following a routine for the convenience of staff.
Thank you again for your kind words and for your continued support. We really appreciate your feedback

Small and friendly care home, with a high ratio of staff to residents. Their 'End of Life' care was exceptional towards my dad during his last weeks of illness before he died, for me and my family, that has given us enormous comfort during our grief.

Our father was a resident up until his recent passing. At that time, the care and compassion the management and staff gave to him and us, his family, was exceptional. Family difficulties made the relationship very awkward for the home but they rose above this situation and ensured that we were all kept updated with Dad’s health and care. A very grateful thank you to the manager and all the staff at Witnesham for looking after our beloved father and for the help and support they gave us too.
My grandfather was cared for there for end of life. All staff have been wonderful and they can’t be praised enough. Before he became unwell he was enjoying so many activities with the rest of the residents, and really enjoyed his stay there. I can’t thank enough all the staff there for looking...

My uncle went into this lovely care home August 2020. I have always found his care to be of the highest standards. I telephoned him every evening and he always seemed happy with his care and food, the staff were always willing to talk to me when I phoned regarding his well being. I feel I couldn’t have made a better choice for him, all the staff go that extra mile to care for the residents.
My family and I would like to say a big thank you for all the kindness they showed to dad, and to the rest of the family. My dad was treated with respect and dignity up to the end. We are very sad but blessed he was in good hands. Thank you, we salute you all; love from the family.

When I visited this patient I always found him clean, shaved and comfortable in a pristine bed at peace with the world. In fact, I had never seen him looking so well and content thanks to lots of T.L.C

This was Dads first time in a care home and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with this lovely home. The staff were extremely friendly, warm and welcoming. On our first visit with Dad we met the nurse in charge and she was so informative and kind and really understood Dad's needs. The day we...
The menu is very good with lovely home made meals. Dad doesn’t eat much at home but really tucked into the meals during his stay. He said he really enjoyed his stay and was able to chat and have a laugh with the staff.
His room was very clean and bright and a TV was organised for him for his stay.
We were extremely pleased with this home and will certainly look to use it again in the future for respite care.
My Aunt moved to this home in December very quickly following a deterioration in her physical health. She found this extremely distressing and grieved for her own home. Every member of staff has worked tirelessly to show her kindness, respect and cared for her as they would a family member. She is...
I would not hesitate to recommend this outstanding care home to any of my friends family or acquaintances. They go over and above their expected care to provide a truly caring, empathetic environment. As a family, we can only say thank you so very much.
Very friendly and was well received by staff. Smartly kept in both furnishings and decoration, the accommodation (room) was very comfortable and staff most helpful. Also in a very pleasant location.

I feel that my husband's general care is very good. I was worried when he first came into the home as we have never experienced this before, but it's good.
