Very welcoming environment. Staff very attentive and friendly towards mum. She is happy and feels comfortable and safe in their care. Lots of good activities for her to attend. Helps her confidence. I am very well informed of all of mums care and any changes there might be ie drs visits. I also have peace of mind mum is well cared for. Would definitely recommend.
Happy very friendly caring staff. Listens to our comments and always act on our concerns. Nice will and recently refurbished rooms. Kept clean all times and food is good and prepared here. Linda is well looks after and clean.
It's friendly and the food is nice/good. There are two choices but sometimes I don't like either, maybe they could offer and easy choice (salad). There are lots of different activities a good variety majority of times we end up laughing. More knowledge needed for people with stomas. The social life is really good I like the company.
From our first visit, the staff went over and above to support both her and us as a family.
Management and staff have created a warm and welcoming home with a lovely, happy atmosphere. The range of activities on offer for the residents is superb and when I was visiting it was lovely to see so many people laughing and joining in. The food looked delicious too!
As a family, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The staff were always happy to answer any questions we had and we could not have asked for better care for Nan. The staff truly are a credit to their profession.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Stanshawes without any hesitation.
Mum went into respite care over the Christmas period as she wasn't coping well on her own at home. The staff went above and beyond to make Mum feel welcome and safe. When family went to visit her they could see a real difference in her, mum was happy and had made friends and felt safe. I can't thank the staff enough for all the care and support they have not only given to mum, but also us as a family. Mum now has made Stanshawes her permanent home.
I would recommend Stanshawes to anyone looking for a nursing home.
He is very happy , has excellent medical and nursing care , is fed well and loves all the activities
The home even did us an anniversary dinner today
They go above and beyond for the residents
My dad has recently moved in following a spell in hospital after a decline in his parkinsons and dementia symptoms. We get regular updates from the home and we are warmly welcomed when we visit. My dad is getting involved with the activities and enjoyed a trip to the park which is good for his mental and physical health. His room is a good size, with garden view and is kept clean and tidy. It is reassuring knowing any dad isn't alone for long periods at home now. I hope he will settle well and be happy here.
My parents have settled very well in the home. The daily activities are really good. The food looks very good and there is always plenty.
Both my parents are in this care home and share a double bedroom. The staff are all very friendly and I can tell by the way my parents relate to them when I visit that they are cared for and treated as individuals with humour and courtesy. The activities are excellent both in their range and adaptations to all abilities. The food looks varied and of a very good standard. The weight of my mind knowing they are cared for and safe and worth the price.
I highly recommend the staff are not only friendly but genuinely caring, showing real empathy. They have taken the time to get to know my mum as an individual which makes a big difference in the quality of care provided. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and I always feel reassured my mum is in good hands! The maintenance man even took time to get to know her! Staff go above and beyond thank you all!
I went in for respite care after an operation on my hand for nine days. Since I lived locally Stanshawes was ideal. The home was clean, and staff were very competent and friendly. However, they were short-staffed (I guess that this is a universal problem). Since I like my own company, I did not partake in any of the activities although I enjoyed chatting to the staff when time allowed. My only adverse comment is that the food could have been better (if it was, I would have given my experience five stars).
advanced after a few falls. Upon visiting Stanshawes I immediately felt it was clean, comfortable and homely. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I was shown around by member of management staff who was very helpful and explained all about the home and its care. I knew instinctively that my husband would be happy here. He has now been at the home for over a month, he settled in straight away. He is happy and smiling when we visit and staff are very caring and compassionate with him. He is well looked after. It was very difficult when he left our home I was worried about finding somewhere suitable I miss him terribly. I needn't have worried. Stanshawes is very suitable. Food is good. There is a good programme of activities for residents which is well planned and enjoyable for them. It has a nice garden and seating area outside. I can visit often and it is near our home.
Dad has been at Stanshawes Care Home since April 2024. The standard of care is wonderful and the staff take care to involve the residents in various activities. When we visit they keep us informed of anything related to his day-to-day care.
The care, attention, friendliness and genuine desire to care for residents speaks volumes about this home.
It is never pleasant to see a relative have to live out their life in the way my dad has to but knowing he will do so with dignity and care is a comfort. We feel lucky he has this chance.
I have had a very positive experience so far since my husband was admitted a few weeks ago. The staff are all very helpful and friendly and the nursing staff keep us informed of all they are doing and trying to achieve. The home and surroundings are clean and well maintained, a very pleasant environment.
Since my Dad has been in Stanshawes Care Home I have seen huge compassion and care from all the staff. I feel he is listened to which I think is so important. I have been on different days and times and his room is always immaculately clean as is the rest of the building. Even though my Dad cannot participate in many of the activities the lovely lady who runs it includes him so it makes Dad feel needed. As we know different illnesses and disabilities can be challenging for the staff to cope with but they are all amazing and communicate with the residents with patience and understanding and try to make them smile. We as a family are so pleased we chose Stanshaws for my Dad to be looked after and Dad seems happy there. The garden area is well-kept and pretty so the residents can enjoy the view and birds. The food choice is very good so they have a selection of meals. There is always music playing somewhere around the building which is nice. The staff make us as visitors feel welcome and relaxed.
All care staff very caring and friendly. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Plenty of activities for residents to take part in. Two TV rooms.
The care home is very clean. The staff are brilliant. They do so much for you at all times.
Dad is happy, warm, well-nourished and all medical needs monitored. He has much greater peace of mind and is thriving there. It is the staff who are the 'beating heart' they put the care into care home.
Facilities - would benefit from ensuite accommodation.
