Some improvement in the meals, quite bland and not enough green vegetables otherwise was a beneficial stay.
The feature that makes Silverways special is the staff that work there. Everyone is friendly, courteous and go above and beyond for your loved one. My father in law was so well cared for that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Silverways. They go out for day trips, offer activities such as crafts and quizzes and make everyone feel welcome and included.
Thank you for your lovely words. Happy New Year. All the best, Janine.
Difficult to ask for better care.
Thank you so much for your 5 star feedback. We value the time you have taken to leave us a review.
We must single out two staff members in particular, you are both absolute stars. You set the tone of the care home with you happiness and drive to do the best for everyone there.
Thanks again.
Thank you, for your kind words and for trusting us to care for your father. Please keep in touch, Alan.
Excellent care home. All the staff made Silverways a safe, warm and caring environment for my father. It is not the most modern / plush home but this is not what counts - it is the staff, entertainment, food and the overall welcoming feeling of the home. We were delighted my father lived at Silverways - he was really comfortable and happy. I cannot recommend it highly enough
Thank you very much for your review. It was a real pleasure caring for your father and we have many happy memories of the time he spent with us.
She has been loved and respected throughout her stay. The staff are so caring and considerate and the meals are 1st class.
It's a bright, beautifully spacious home and kept immaculately clean daily and welcoming to all visitors.
I completely recommend Silverways to anyone with an ailing parent or family member.
They will be cared for with the utmost respect amd dedication.
Thank you for your very kind review. The team here at Silverways will be delighted with the feedback and very appreciative of your input.
We were so glad we chose Silverways for my brother's end-of-life care and so was he. He loved his room and the attention and care from the staff, nothing was ever too much trouble. The establishment has had a wonderful refurbishment and the facilities could not be better. The focus is on care rather than profit and that makes a huge difference.
Thank you very much for your review and very kind words which I will be passing on to the team here at Silverways. It was a pleasure caring for your brother.
I was so impressed at the care and service on Christmas Day. All the staff said hello and we so appreciated the warmth that surrounded us. Thank you, the meal was lovely.
Thank you very much for your review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed spending time with us.
My first visit was to see my Aunt who is a resident. I took my Dad as he is also in a home (which is the best in our area and has the highest recommendations). My first impression was how organised, efficient, friendly, and fond the entire establishment was. My Dad after 3 subserve visits has relocated here and loved it (I'm delighted to be able to say!). Much more space and room than his previous home and cheaper too. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your review. I am delighted to hear that both your father and yourself are happy with everything here at Silverways and will be sure to pass your positive comments on to the team here.
Run with care and kindness. Do not change it, it works.
Thank you very much for the review and positive comments. We are delighted to be able to care for your loved one.
My mother has been in this home since last April and I am so, so pleased we moved her from her previous home. The staff here are so polite, very helpful and very understanding. I can not ask for any better care for her.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear your mother is happy here. The team will be delighted when I pass on your message. Best wishes.
Her room is good and the only reason we scored satisfactory is it is one of the smaller rooms. However, she has been provided with an 'air mattress' and it is very clean.
Many thanks for your very positive review. I am so pleased that you are finding everything at Silverways to your liking.
Mum has not been in the home long but the family are very happy with the level of care shown by everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad your mum is enjoying our home. I look forward to seeing you and the family soon. Best wishes.
It has been so comforting that my Grandad is being cared for by such lovely staff. He feels at home and I've noticed such a positive change in him since he's arrived at Silverways. The staff regularly run activities and the menu is always to his liking so makes his day easier. Thank you for all your support.
Thank you for your review and kind comments. It is lovely to hear you have seen a positive change in your Grandad and we are all very grateful for your feedback.
My dad has been very well looked after and treated with care, kindness and dignity. The staff are very patient with him and encourage him to join in activities. Dad loves the food at Silverways, and nothing is too much trouble. His room is comfortable with a nice outlook, and the home is very clean. The gardens are well-maintained, and the residents can sit outside. All of Dad's needs have been well managed, and I am extremely grateful to all of the staff.
Thank you for your very positive review. It is a pleasure looking after your dad here at Silverways, and we are so pleased he is enjoying life with us.
The home is spacious and airy and feels very welcoming.
My father loves the food!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we do everything we can to make our residents really feel as if this is their home. See you around the home soon.
I can fully recommend Silverways Nursing Home for its efficient care, very friendly staff, cleanliness, good food and most importantly, a feeling of being in safe and caring hands at a time of vulnerability. There is a 'family' feel. This is my second visit for respite care and there is no doubt I would want to return to Silverways if I need nursing home care in the future. Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, Fiona. Keep in touch and all the best.
The staff are all professional and caring. I am enjoying the food.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we're glad you're enjoying your time with us. Let me or any other member of the team know if you need anything additional whilst staying with us.
I am very happy with Silverways. My mother had a week respite care and she returned home happy and singing its praises. The staff were excellent and made Mum very welcome.
Thank you for your lovely review. We look forward to welcoming your mother back in the future. In the meantime, I will pass on your comments to the team here.
I am amazed how lovely this 'care home' is. The service and behaviour of the staff is commendable, every need attended to! I feel quite happy to come again in the future. (The food is very good as well!)
Thank you Julia for your kind words and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us here at Silverways. I will ensure that all of the team here are aware of your comments and look forward to welcoming back in the future.
