Review from Julia H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mother was a resident at Aabletone for more than two years.
During that time she was treated with dignity and compassion by all the staff both night and day. This care stayed the same even during the more demanding latter stages of her dementia.
The home was always clean and the meals were varied and of a high standard.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home to anyone.

Overall Experience

The impressive period care home is set in beautiful peaceful surroundings next to the botanical gardens. The manager is excellent with her patients, visitors and staff alike, as well as being extremely efficient in all areas. The atmosphere there is extremely welcoming, happy and friendly with plenty of smiles. The manager and staff work hard as a team and are always helpful and supportive to their patients and their families. There are plenty of activities available in-house and local trips out.

Reply from Elizabeth Denny, Care Home Manager at Waltham House

Review from Margaret T (Sister of Resident) published on 28 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

It was a pleasure to visit my sister at Aabletone as the staff were genuinely pleased to help. They took care of my sister and enjoyed their work. Nothing was too much trouble. I can't thank them enough. First class people worth their weight in gold. If the funds could ever stretch to it a bigger lift would be an asset. Other than that I loved the actual building, its layout was welcoming and homely. Exactly what I wanted to find when I was looking for the right home for my sister. This nursing home has it all.

Review from Eileen D (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been in Aabletone since the end of July having previously been in hospital for four weeks due to a fractured hip. The home is very welcoming with a bright and airy day room leading to a garden with a patio area surrounded by flowers. My mother’s room overlooks this lovely space and is very light and sunny. The staff are very caring, friendly and professional and my mum is now thriving despite her great frailty. Her appetite has improved and she looks so much better than when she was in a previous residential home. Requests are promptly dealt with and I am constantly updated on any developments that occur. I am very happy that my mother will spend the rest of her life being so well cared for.

Reply from Aurelia, Head Office at Waltham House

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are glad that your mum is feeling better now. It is extremely rewarding to know that our residents, family and friends are happy with the home, the care and the services we offer.

Review from J W (Resident / Service User) published on 20 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I am extremely happy here and very much at home. There is a culture of kindness at this home which extends to all aspects of living here. It would be nice to have a bit more variety in the food - a bit less English. Also, it would be nice to have access to a minibus for trips instead of taxis.

I very much hope to live out the rest of my happy days here.

Review from Jan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mum's been here since April and she's been happy from the beginning. She always receives excellent and friendly care from the staff who go out of their way to be supportive, both the domiciliary and nursing staff carry out their duties with good humour and a number have formed close relationships with my mum, which is wonderful.
The accommodation is of a very high standard and the management is excellent. They always ensure that I am fully informed of any developments.

I feel very lucky that my mum has found such a good home.

Review from J B (Resident / Service User) published on 29 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have been very pleased with the care I have received at Aabletone. My worry is the staff are put among patients before being properly trained. There are times when they think it is not compulsory to make a bed. This is fine by me but there are times when I worry about patients who are not able to make their wishes known. I am sure there are staff that would like to give that little extra care but they have not got the time as they are rushed.
