Impressive. Bright attractive & welcoming reception, very well kept, felt like a nice hotel, Excellent rooms, well designed with smart furniture, privacy & comfort being the theme. The communal rooms were the same, felt welcoming, clean and tidy. Friendly and attentive staff who have the patients well being as a top priority which was very reassuring. Everywhere was well appointed and clean, very nice feel. The social life there is outstanding, wonderful and appropriate things to do every day. One thing could be improved perhaps the easy access for other patients to go into rooms
My husband is a resident at Robinson House Bristol. This home is amazing and feels just like home. We absolutely love it here and I could not have picked a better place for him. The home is spotlessly clean and the fixtures and fittings are in excellent condition. The staff cannot do enough for you. Caring for my husband is their top Priority. My needs are also important to them and nothing is too much trouble. This home is really well run from management, nurses, carers, Home makers and cleaners. I could not wish for a better place For him and would not hesitate to recommend to others.
Thank you for your very kind words, they will mean such a great deal to the team, who all work very hard to support our residents and families.
I have never been more impressed with all the staff: laundry (ladies), cleaners, care staff and nurses. They all work above and beyond. I can't talk more highly of them all. I have great confidence in all of the above. I am now able to have a couple of days off - knowing my beautiful husband is being cared for to the highest standard possible. Big thank you to all.
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review. We are delighted to hear that you feel confident in the care your husband is receiving. Your kind words mean a great deal to our team, and we will be sure to share your feedback with everyone.
We wish to send a great big Thank You to all the staff at Robinson Care Home. Our dad was there for 7 weeks and every day he had the best care and attention we could have wished for. The staff also made us feel very welcome.
Thank you for your very kind words, they are very much appreciated and will mean such a lot to the team.
Having started visiting my Aunt who is being cared for at Robinson House Care home, I was very impressed of the care provision which clearly depicted excellence due to how she has improved very well. I have a lot of praise to the rest of the team as they are a very close knit team with a can do attitude. The maintenance of the place is also very good. Staff are always polite, respectful to both patients and visitors. Their cleanliness is a clear indication of how their management team lead by example. They are approachable, Knowledgeable and happy to help whenever have questions regarding my aunt. The lady receptionist is very welcoming, helpful and polite with enquiries and beyond. Also, she always makes sure that she sends everyone home with a "thank you for coming, take care" to each and every visitor, making us feel very welcome there. Thank you Team Robinson House
My dad had the best of care and the family in the short time he was here.
A big thank you from all the family for looked so well after our mum. All your help and understanding was much appreciated. We loved the way you even played her Irish music and made her cups of tea perfectly to her taste.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot to us all. Your mum was a joy to look after and is missed by all the staff and residents.It was a privilege to care for your mum and we feel honoured to have been part of her journey. Your appreciation has touched the whole team. Please know that we're thinking of you and sending our heartfelt wishes to you and your family.
I have found Robinson House to get better over the last year and there are a number of staff who are wonderful and really care. Sometimes I go in and there is no one around but they do have a lot of residents in rooms. The rooms and decor are much improved as the fees, albeit competitive are massive and the system stinks. There should be more help or tax breaks for people who have saved all their lives. The home is very convenient for me and although mum is asleep a lot in the days, she goes on some fab trips organised by the team who are amazing. Also the food and kitchen staff are great. I am happy with it now as didn't feel it was being managed in past year very well. Would recommend.
Lovely place. Staff are wonderful and caring. My mum loves it there. Lots of activities and trips out. Always informed of what is going on. Mum couldn't be in a better place and is well looked after. Rooms are very comfortable and clean.
As I said mum has only been there for 3 weeks but looks better than she has for ages. She's clean, food is excellent (we have even been offered a meal if we ate there at the time. The staff are lovely, friendly and very helpful.
Would recommend it to anybody looking a home for a loved one. X
I am very happy with the care this home is providing for my mum. The staff and volunteers are wonderful. Mum enjoys the activities provided. I can visit at anytime. I am kept informed of any issues arising in mums care. I think this home is outstanding.
Individual rooms and facilities are always kept clean, the wet rooms could be modernised but perfectly functionable however, would also be nice for Mum to have at least a weekly bath.
Food is always good, sometimes a little repetitive. For a small charge relatives can also eat, a daily menu of soup , choice of two main courses and dessert is always confirmed in advance and the kitchen staff can be flexible if necessary and able to offer an alternative to the daily menu.
Activities are varied including occasional trips out and monthly entertainers which Mum enjoys. Relatives can join in too. Sadly in the last few years both the tea room and quiet room have been repurposed.
Care is good but staff levels seem low which, in my opinion, feels staff no longer have time to just sit with residents for any length of time.
The reception is always very polite and friendly. It is very clean, there are always cleaners about the floor tidying and keeping the individual service rooms clean. They cater to everybody's needs, and the kitchen staff don't mind preparing something different on short notice. The staff are friendly and polite, but I have found that there are loads of times where staff have been short, which can affect the care my family member has had in the waiting time.
Highly reccomend this home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words and review, We are truly grateful for your feed back and delighted to be providing a home and care that makes a difference in your loved ones life.
On Thursday 13th Feb I visited at 4:00 pm, Mum's dinner was still there & she had not had a dessert or a cup of tea in the afternoon. I left at 5:00 pm and no-one had been in to check on her or bring her evening tea.
I visited again on the Saturday at 3:15 pm. She pointed out to me that her bed was soaking & her top was full of her dinner. After trying to find staff after 20 mins 2 carers came to change her & her bed. She had also soiled herself.
On several occasions while I've been visiting there has been no presence of staff checking on her & they should be helping her to eat her dinner.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you had this experience, I will look into this. If you would like to discuss this with me please don't hesitate to contact me.
I was very upset and worried that my wife had to go into a care home, but Robinson House is absolutely amazing, the staff are all first class, very caring and on the ball with everything and are very approachable if you want to talk to them about anything. The food is very good, the rooms and facilities are very good, the place is modern and clean, it's like a hotel. I cannot speak highly enough of the place and everyone who works there.
