Review from Helen T (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father visited Queensmount for two weeks of respite care and before his stay, he was rather worried and anxious. However, the care provided was excellent in every way and within a couple of days, he relaxed and was happy to be there. He is looking forward to his next visit and I can be content in the knowledge the care and attention provided will be of the utmost best.

Review from D S (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mother has been in Queensmount Care Home for about a months and I can already see that she is happier and more relaxed than when she was coping alone at home. From the moment we arrive, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Having witnessed the pancake tossing last week, it feels like one big family. The food is excellent.

My mother rings me several times a week to tell me her latest exploits, such as Google Earth and virtual reality goggles. New experiences she's never have dreamt of in the past. She's even thinking of trying table tennis. I think it is a brilliant place.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are happy to hear your mom feels like a part of our Queensmount family and it is always touching to know that the residents enjoy taking part in our activities. We are looking forward to seeing you again.

Overall Experience

My mother needed to move at short notice into Queensmount Care Home a few days before Christmas. The trauma of this was very much minimised by the kindness of all the staff.

My mother is blossoming and very happy. We are very fond of the person who looks after her beautifully. The lady on reception is wonderful - you all are. Thank you all so much.

On the whole a good care home. Some carers are lovely and helpful but there never seems to be enough of them, especially if my mother asks for a commode. She seems to have to wait a long time and quite often does it in her pad.

Overall Experience
All the staff I met were very friendly. (Especially the receptionist.)
The nurse caring regularly for my father appeared exceptional in her ability to assess and monitor his needs.
He was reassured and happy.
The dining room was beautifully set up and this provided an enjoyable social focus for my father's day.

Thank you to every member of the team.

Overall Experience

I placed my father-in-law in Queensmount for 24-hour care and I was surprised how well the staff and management settled him in. He was treated with great respect and kindness and he was classed as part of a large family. Nothing was too much trouble and when he passed away, they had tears in their eyes. Bless them all.

Overall Experience

My sisters and I looked at various homes and when we walked into Queensmount knew immediately that it was the right place for our mother. She really didn't want to go into a care home but thanks to the staff has really settled in. I find all the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and reassuring to my sisters and I as the whole process was very emotional for all of us.

Overall Experience
We find this care home very flexible and accommodating regarding resident's wishes. A real effort is made to help residents feel at home.

Nursing is taken very seriously. The general tone of the staff is friendly and cheerful. Sometimes, some of the residents would benefit from more stimulation but this is difficult as the residents' abilities and interests are so different.

My experience during the 3 weeks stay has been remarkable. Immediately you notice the kindness, how friendly all the staff are. There is no pressure they are so approachable. The food, breakfast, lunch and supper are extremely comprehensive to suit your diet. The activity programme is light for morning and afternoon allows you to meet colleagues so you do not feel alone.

The nurses help at all times to ensure your medication is not forgotten, I can recommend this care home most highly. I have been very happy and the staff have been absolutely brilliant.

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.
