Review from S S (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My father was a resident at Queensmount for 3 years. During this time the care they all provided for him was excellent, even during some very challenging times due to his health. The staff were always so patient, kind and caring. We couldn't have asked for a more supportive environment, both to Dad and the family.

Dad sadly passed away in June and during the last few days we spent with him. The staff went above and beyond to look after him and us. They genuinely cared for him and we thank them all.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Queensmount for almost 6 years before she passed away there in June. I have nothing but praise for everyone who works at Queensmount. She received the best of care throughout her stay - their excellent care remained constant throughout despite Mum's deteriorating condition. All members of staff (nurses, carers, kitchen, cleaning, finance, management etc) were thoroughly professional, friendly and supportive. They were also communicative and promptly addressed any concerns I had about Mum's care.

Overall Experience

I found Queensmount very clean and a friendly atmosphere, the staff seem to be very attentive to the residents' needs and nothing seems to be too much trouble, my cousin seems to be very happy there and as she suffers from a serious condition so she can't enjoy and do all the things that we all take for granted, yes they do their upmost best for her, so she can enjoy her remaining days in comfort and be in a safe and secure environment without having to rely on careers and family to help her with her basic needs. 10/10.

Reply from Rosie Smith, Customer Advisor at Queensmount Care Home

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for the staff at Queensmount Care Home. It is lovely to hear words like "attentive" used to describe our staff.

Overall Experience

A perfect final place for Dad. The staff really cared. The home was clean and well-managed. The staff, without exception, made this a real home, inclusion was key to everything they did. Even during difficult times; COVID, no lifts, lockdowns, they made extra effort to make Dad feel looked after. When Dad had his difficult moments, they went the extra mile. I will always be grateful to all the management and staff for what they did for Dad over his three-year stay.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Queensmount Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely review. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we hope Queensmount Care Home did everything possible to make your father's stay as comfortable as possible. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your Dad received the best possible care.

My mother-in-law was cared for with the utmost professionalism. Staff were always able to explain what was happening, kept us well informed of any changes and was extremely approachable. The family always felt welcome. At the end of my mother-in-law's life, they showed great compassion and treated her with dignity and evidence a good understanding of palliative care. Thank you.

My mother has spent the last 5.5 years at Queensmount Care Home and I am so grateful for the care she has received from the staff from the day she arrived to her last breath. They have been her second family and we as her family have got to know the staff and appreciate all they have done for her and along the way became friends.

The care at Queensmount is outstanding and has been throughout all the years my dearest friend has been in there. The last few weeks of her life were made bearable by the respect and compassion she was treated with and also the wonderful way the family and friends were also supported throughout.

My respite care at Queensmount after a hospital stay was so beneficial in terms of care, kindness and medical staff's ability to deal with my neck brace after a car accident. The staff were so understanding after a stressful time and I shall never forget all the advice and motivation I received in my times of need! Thank you to everyone at Queensmount.

Review from K S (Respite Resident) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

From the minute I walked into Queensmount for my two-week period of respite, I knew it was the right place for me. I was immediately welcomed by the receptionist and staff. I checked in when I was discharged from hospital after lung surgery for cancer. I extended my three days and didn't want to leave! I am a fit and able 62-year-old woman. All the staff were incredible! Caring, friendly and so very helpful. Very attentive and always checking on me, giving me my medications and meals and tea etc. Without a doubt the best place to be for my recovery and healing, as I had no concerns or worries. Pure care and focus on me! I was sad to leave. A fantastic place for operation recovery and highly recommended!

At an extremely difficult time for my mum and our family, my mum found sanctuary at Queensmount Care Home. She was very well looked after and treated with kindness, compassion and care. As a family, we were massively grateful for the kindness that was extended to all of us. At a time of sadness and grief, we could not have been better supported. We will never forget the angels at Queenmount Care Home. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.

Although Mum was there for a relatively short time, we were welcomed with respect and understanding from our viewing to the final days of our Mum's life and beyond. We can only give praise to all the staff for their care and support as we feel they assisted in making Mum's last days more fulfilling.

We will always have gratitude for her gentile system of care and would not hesitate to recommend Queensmount Care Home to others. With many thanks.

My father went into Queensmount for palliative care. He was only in care for probably three weeks until he passed away. The care that he received and the attention to detail for his needs were exceptional. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that all needs are met with care and dignity. I know that my father had the best care possible in his final days.

Amazing place, amazing people.

Review from Trudy S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 6 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My grandma moved into Queensmount Care Home over 2 years ago. It was a really scary time for her (dementia) and for the family as she became more unable to look after herself... Queensmount have been a lifeline. The staff are incredible, so kind and thoughtful. The daily activities are wonderful to keep Grandma active and around other people. She has found a wonderful community and is honestly happy each day.

The care staff and office staff are so good at keeping the family informed. And even during the very difficult times of COVID, we were assured of care at all times.

The care home was so welcoming to our mother and us as a family. My mother wasn't always an easy person to look after and the staff were always patient with her. The staff were especially brilliant in my mother's last 5 days, I was allowed to stay overnight and we were all cared for. The last few days of my mother's life are now filled with so many lovely memories, I cannot thank everyone enough for this gift.

I am writing this review following the sad passing of my mummy who was a resident at Queensmount since January 2023, I had heard many good reports in the years preceding her stay. So when we had to make the difficult decision to take the nursing home route, Queensmount was one of our choices and I am so glad we chose Queensmount.
I have no regrets which is so comforting now, I spent time with my mother most days during her 9 months there and what a fantastic experience, the staff are so kind, professional, and friendly.

Thank you all at Queensmount, I am eternally grateful to you all.

Overall Experience
Sadly my mum only had a short stay at Queensmount before she passed away, however, I have nothing but praise for all the staff. Without exception and starting from when I first went to have a look around, my mum, myself and my family were made to feel so very welcome.
Nothing was too much trouble and we were always welcomed with a smile. The manager herself was especially wonderful and helped me get things in place to enable my mum to move in quickly.
There was always a very relaxed atmosphere which was very calming but we were all very aware of how hard the staff worked to make everything run smoothly.
The nursing staff were fabulous and right up to the end, they made sure that Mum was comfortable and that anything she wanted/needed was done without question.

I would not hesitate to recommend Queensmount to anyone and I really can’t thank them enough for taking wonderful care of my lovely mum in her last days.

I joined Queensmount in May 2015 as a part-time receptionist. In 2016 I became a full-time customer advisor, later in the year, I moved roles as Senior Activities Organiser. With my past background in accounting, the role of Financial Administrator became available within the home and this has always been my dream job. I applied for the role and was over the moon when I was successful with my application

I love working at Queensmount as it feels like my second family. I enjoy chatting with residents and relatives and having a hands-on approach to ensuring every department is delivering the outstanding care which is reflected in our recent inspection report.
