Review from Lloyd B (Son of Resident) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Druid Stoke is a wonderful care home with amazing staff. They are like part of the family they treat my mother with dignity and respect. Throughout the difficult times over the last year, my mum has been cared for, looked after and kept safe. My mum is now enjoying the activities that are put on daily, one day she could be doing painting and the following day singing along to live music at a social distance. This is another example of the home going above and beyond to keep residents entertained.
The home is clean and tidy, my mum's room is cleaned daily.
When it comes to food it is incredible, all the food is cooked fresh daily, the residents have the choice of what they would like to eat and the kitchen staff prepare and cook everything to the highest standard.

Overall Druid Stoke care home is a lovely caring safe place for your loved ones who just need a little bit more help in life, and from the bottom of my heart I can never thank them enough for the care they have given my mother .

Always found staff to be extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble, from kitchen staff to nurses, right across the board. We are always greeted with a smile and if we had to single out anybody it would be the staff who keeps us informed on a regular basis.

Review from Judy W (Niece of Resident) published on 12 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been associated with Druid Stoke Residential Home for over 12 years, my aunt has been a resident since July 2009 and is now 102 years old and still going strong! I am her next of kin and persuaded her and her late husband to come to Bristol after spending 62 years living and working in Paris, so I had to choose a home for them without their input in any way! I was very fortunate to decide on Druid Stoke, they haven't let me down. I have found the care and attention that staff have consistently given my aunt to be of the highest standard, and I feel very lucky to have had the chance to discover this delightful home and to see her looked after so kindly, professionally and diligently (she's not always the easiest of people to please!) over all these years. I hope there are many more years to come.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Druid Stoke Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and well looked after. We certainly hope to continue providing your Aunt with the best possible care! Thank you again.

Mum has always been looked after carefully and kindly. She was very confused when she first went in and was always dealt with patiently. Mum has now developed a good rapport with the carers and nursing staff. Whenever we speak to her, she always seems happy. Thank you.

Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident at Druid Stoke for more than six years, starting in the residential side before moving to the nursing side. She has been looked after with kindness and dignity throughout. The daily activities; talks, crafts, music, physio and especially the toddler group visits have kept my mother involved.

During the current Coronavirus pandemic, Druid Stoke staff and families have worked hard to ensure the home have remained Covid free. We have been able to keep in contact with Mother weekly.

Overall Experience

Mum has been in Druid Stoke since October 2019 receiving palliative care. This was new for all of us, and all the staff made us (including mum) feel very welcome and put our minds at ease. Mum has settled in really well, and I cannot fault the staff at all. Especially in these uncertain times with COVID-19, they have kept in touch with us and set up weekly Skype calls so my sister, mum and I can enjoy a virtual conversation, as we are unable to visit. Amazing home and amazing staff. Definitely a 10/10 from me.

Overall Experience

Mum is now in her ninth month of living at Druid Stoke Care Home, and she has received consistently good care from day one. Before lockdown in March, all family members were welcomed with kindness. Since lockdown, staff have worked hard to keep spirits up for Mum by taking the time to exchange a few works passing her door and fo us with weekly Skype calls.

Reply from Emily Wilson, Customer Services Adviser at Druid Stoke Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do to make your Mum's stay as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience

Druid Stoke has taken excellent care of my parent. The staff is kind, welcoming, and interested in them. Medical care is proactive and responsive to family observations. Activities are varied. The toddler group is much appreciated. The gardens are great. Some rooms may be small but are suitable for my parent. Coronavirus care has been superb. Contact has been maintained by Skype. The families of all the staff must be doing a fantastic careful role supporting them.

Overall Experience

The care my mum received at Druid Stoke Care Home was exceptional. Support was provided to me and my family through a very difficult time when she moved in. Care was thoughtful and personal, it also encouraged independence and dignity throughout wherever possible. Visitors were welcomed anytime and there were many activities and social events were organised for residents. Mums end of life care was also kind and compassionate. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Reply from Catherine Smith, Senior Marketing & Development Manager at Druid Stoke Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. I am so sorry for your loss but am glad that you felt supported during such a difficult time. I will pass on your lovely comments to the home. Thank you

The level of care in which our gran received was outstanding. The hardworking, caring and compassionate staff were incredible and simply nothing was any trouble for them. The rooms and grounds are top class. The level of care and engagement was beyond words. All the staff were so helpful, friendly and kind. The food is incredible all cooked fresh daily, top marks to the kitchen staff. Our gran said the food is excellent in this hotel (bless her). From the bottom of our hearts thank you for the excellent care.

Overall Experience

My mother had recently moved in with us in Bristol from Birmingham, she needed somewhere to stay while we went on our annual holiday. From the very first visit, the staff have made us all feel welcome and explained and answered our questions thoroughly. My mother, who was very anxious at first, had a ball. She met lots of friends, joined in group therapies and hasn't stopped telling us about it. She'll be back next year for her holiday she said!

I have found the staff are very friendly and caring to myself as much as to my wife who is resident in the nursing home. My wife enjoys being able to chat with and joke with staff.
PS. Pets are welcome visitors too.

My only concerns are the length of time taken to arrange for a suitable wheelchair and to arrange for the removal of redundant peg feed (now both underway).

The care is excellent my partner is receiving and they are also very kind and thoughtful. It must be the best care home ever. Wonderful staff, they are so kind and so caring towards my partner. It's top class and I would certainly recommend it to my friends and family.

She enjoys all her food as well. It's wonderful care. If I ever needed a care home, this one would be my only option because it's top class.

I'm inspired by how much we can make a difference in people's lives. I love working with people and am passionate about delivering exemplary service. I especially enjoy the variety that each day brings. Our focus is delivering great quality care and ensuring that the resident/s are at the centre of everything that we do.
