Overall she appears happy and her family are very pleased with the care she receives.
Thank you for your lovely review. I look forward to seeing you in the home soon. Best wishes.
My father was a resident here for ten months, and the level of compassion, dedication, and personalized attention he received surpassed our expectations. What truly sets this facility apart from others we inspected was the genuine and loving care extended to Dad, balanced with keeping our family informed about any changes in my dad's health or care plan. They proactively engaged in discussions about my father's needs, ensuring that my mother was always part of the decision-making process.
I am immensely grateful for the outstanding care provided by the entire team at Silverways. Their unwavering dedication and genuine love for their residents make it a place where families can have peace of mind, knowing that, in our case, our beloved husband/father was in the best hands possible.
Thank you, Ian, for your heartwarming review. It truly means the world to us. Best wishes.
The staff here are so caring! During a very difficult time they were all both calm and truly respectful. The ambience and atmosphere was wonderful, the whole of everywhere was immaculately clean and we were always greeted with a smile. All needs were perfectly accommodated for and the food was exceptional! We were offered tea/coffee each time we went in which was every day and any questions we had were answered honesty and with compassion. We simply couldn't have wished for a better place. Laughter was met with laughter and tears were met with comfort and support. An absolutely amazing place which none of our family can fault in any way.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Philippa, it really does mean the world to us to hear this.
One word - Excellent!
Thank you so much! See you soon and best wishes.
My mother has been in Silverways for about six weeks now. We have found the place to be very clean, accommodating of mother's needs etc. The staff are kind and considerate and always very friendly. Well done Silverways.
Thank you for your kind review, as always these act as a great motivator for our team. We will pass on your lovely feedback. Best wishes.
'Top class' is my mum's verdict. She has lived here for 14 months. She consistently tells me how good the staff are. She enjoys the food and lives the activities. I feel happy that she is here. She is loved and cared for. Mum was a nurse all her life and knows what good care is.
Thank you for your lovely comments. As you know we are so proud of our team and the wonderful care they provide, they will be delighted to read your kind words. Best wishes.
My mother has been resident at Silverways for almost a year and is very happy and settled. I can't fault the care and kindness shown to my mother. As a family, we feel confident that she is in good hands and enjoying all Silverways has to offer. We would recommend this nursing home to others without hesitation.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words. We'll be sure to pass these on to the entire team. Best wishes, Home Manager.
My brother was in respite care for three weeks in July whilst I went away on holiday. Silverways went out of their way to make him feel welcome and 'at home'. The care he received was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Silverways Care Home.
Thank you for your lovely review. All the best, Home Manager.
Staff are lovely and very caring, going over and above to keep Dad happy. Dad is always kept happy by the activities manager. Communication between working staff and family is excellent.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I will be sure to pass your comments on to our activities lady and the wider team. Best wishes.
I cannot rate this nursing home more highly. My mother was so well looked after for the time she was a resident. The home is well managed, and the staff are friendly and attentive to all needs. It is incredibly clean, and there are always activities to keep people busy. My mother’s end-of-life care was excellent. A very caring team offered my mother a very positive experience and a peaceful end to her life.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Alison. I wish you and your family all the best.
Nothing is too much trouble.
Dear Andy, thank you for the lovely review. I look forward to seeing you visiting again soon. Best wishes.
Since my dad has arrived, the service has been brilliant.
Thank you, Alan; your comment means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you in the home soon.
My husband fractured his hip and underwent surgery for a partial hip replacement. He was discharged barely able to stand, and we decided, together, that he needed respite to enable him to return to his mobility before the fall; Silverways were able to do this, and he has made a very good recovery with all the TLC from all of the staff. His confidence has returned and he now feels he can return home with a care package in place. The nurses have explained that regular pain relief is enabling him to get around and complete some of the activities of his personal care. The manager is kind and considerate. I have no hesitation in recommending Silverways for the catering, laundry, cleaning, activities, health care, assistants, reception, nurses and matron. Well done, and thank you so much.
Thank you, Janet, for your kind words. This really means a lot to us and acts as a great motivator for the team. Keep in touch.
Everybody approachable and helpful.
Manger is very efficient.
A lovely home from home for our mum now she can no longer live in her own home. Very capable nursing home.
Thank you for the lovely review, we will be sure to pass on your kind words to the entire team.
We moved my elderly mother to Silverways after having some concerns over her previous home. We could not be happier with the care she receives. The manager and staff are always very friendly, supportive and extremely professional. We could not recommend the nursing home highly enough.
Dear Andrew, thank you for your lovely review. We will be sure to pass on your positive comments to the entire team. Best wishes.
I live overseas, and knowing my mother is happy, safe and incredibly well cared for at Silverways is an absolute Godsend. I know she is in the capable, professional and gentle hands of the wonderful staff. These staff (in every department) have to be the best in the country; their love and care for my mother is something for which I can never thank them enough.
Dear Jenny, thank you so much for your wonderful review. The entire team work tirelessly to ensure that all of our residents feel like part of the family and at home here with us. We will pass on your comments and thank you again for taking the time to leave a review. Best wishes.
My mother has been at Silverways for five years. After being very reluctant to move from her home, she settled well because of the kindness of the staff. Relationships at Sliverways are excellent, which means the ethos and atmosphere are just what you would want. Activities provided are engaging and fun. Mum likes the food - especially the cake! I know she is safe there, and I completely trust them to keep her spirits high too. I am very thankful for the excellent care they give to her.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Silverways Nursing Home; we are delighted to receive such positive feedback.
I have been living here for the past four years. Always been treated with dignity and respect. Have made mad friends here. I am happy and content.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Silverways Nursing Home. We will be sure to circulate your positive feedback to the entire team. Best wishes.
Mum arrived on 28/2/22 and so far, cannot speak highly enough of how she has been/is cared for. Upon arrival, all the staff popped into her room and introduced themselves; it was such a lovely welcome. Mum seems to have settled in very well and is happy in her new environment.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Silverways Nursing Home. We will be sure to circulate your positive feedback to the entire team. Best wishes.
