My father has settled very well in to the home with the help of all the staff.

I now have peace of mind as I can see how well he is looked after and cared for. The home organised a trip out for him and he so enjoyed this. It was a lovely thing to do for him.

Overall Experience

My mother went into Queensmount Care Home last December. She found it difficult to begin with as she has always been very independent. I go in to see my mother every day, and my brothers (2) are also regular visitors. I have found the staff very caring and the management I have found to be very supportive.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Queensmount Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We hope Queensmount care home did everything possible to make such a difficult transition as easy as possible and that Mum has now settled into the home well. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

The home is well-run with friendly and caring staff. The quality of nursing care, when required, is particularly high. Experience has shown that it is able to offer a flexible and supportive role in caring for the changing needs of residents. The reception staff are always friendly and helpful

Review from Paul G (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 20 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Queensmount is always so warm and welcoming when I visit. My mother-in-law has been at Queensmount for over a year now and the change in her is remarkable.
She visits the restaurant daily and most activities to which she thoroughly enjoys even if she's not interested in certain activities she will still go to them and have a chat with everyone.

She has made friends with other residents and has lots of fun and laughter with all the staff there, even though she forgets their names. Well done to all staff for everything you do.

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Queensmount Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We are so pleased to hear that your mother-in-law has benefitted from our staff providing a caring and attentive approach with all of our residents. It is always lovely to hear words such as "warm" and "welcoming" to describe the care that we provide and we hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

Review from Gillian K (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been at Queensmount since February 2022 to present. She was made to feel very welcome and has been looked after very well, nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
The residents are afforded the utmost dignity and care, family/friends are made welcome.
All the facilities and rooms are well-maintained and comfortable.

All the staff work extremely hard for the benefit of residents from cleaning/restaurant/laundry/reception/nursing and it feels like home from home.

Residents have so many activities to do and my mother has enjoyed joining in with them

She especially enjoys the Singers and musicians who come to perform for residents.

Very pleased with the care she receives.

Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident in Queensmount for just over a year and from the day she went into the home, the care she has received from all of the staff has been excellent. Mum was quite unwell when she was admitted and the team has nursed her back to health with excellent care and attention.
Mum has settled in so well and is now happier than we have seen her for a long time. The home is so comfortable and clean with plenty of activities for the residents to take part in.

Thank you to all of the superb team at Queensmount.

Review from D V (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father was on end-of-life care, and the family wanted to get him out of the hospital and chose Queensmount for him to go into for his last days. The manager and staff were absolutely wonderful in making his final week homely and comfortable. He was treated with utter respect, and we are so grateful for his last days, which were peaceful and allowed us to visit him at any time.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Queensmount Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy that we were able to offer your Father a place where you were able to spend those last days in privacy. Thank you again for your review.

Outstanding care. Personalised and professional. Some food portions are rather small. Some carers are impatient. The management are excellent and very responsive.

I have been extremely happy and satisfied with my mother's care at Queensmount. Every health issue she has had, has been promptly sorted and all the staff are most caring and helpful. My mother suffers from memory problems and we did wonder if she would settle down and although it took a couple of weeks, we can now relax a little, knowing she is in such good hands. Thank you!

Overall Experience

The staff at Queensmount are consistently friendly, professional and most caring. They work so hard to help meet the individual needs of each person. A huge thank you to everyone who worked to make the Queensmount Fair in the park on Saturday such a great event for both residents and their families and friends. My mother so enjoyed being at the event with the opportunity to watch all the people and to enjoy some refreshments and be out in the sunshine. It was quite an emotional occasion to see Mum outside enjoying herself after a difficult period of illness. Thank you.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Queensmount Care Home

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback. We really enjoyed having everyone come and take part in the event, it was a fantastic day all round. Thank you for your review.

Overall Experience

It is a difficult time to review Queensmount given the restrictions that are only recently easing. In my most recent visit, I was allowed to assist with my mother's transfer to another floor. They were all very helpful, friendly and professional. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well cared for despite the covid restrictions.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Queensmount Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it has been difficult during the pandemic, hopefully with restrictions easing, we will get back to normality at some point. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you and your Mother feel as settled as possible in our care.

Erika Assi
Erika AssiJob Title:Financial AdministratorJoined: 2015

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.

Michelle Pordum
Michelle PordumJob Title:ReceptionistJoined: 2016

I have worked at Queensmount on reception since June 2016. I thoroughly enjoy my work here; I enjoy welcoming people into the home and making sure people are happy and comfortable.

I realise how difficult it is for families making the move from their own home to a care home and try to make it as smooth as possible.
