Review from Ruth N (Niece of Resident) published on 11 November 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My uncle and aunt moved to Horsfall House recently. I cannot speak highly enough of the care they have received. The staff are all absolutely lovely, kind, gentle and helpful. My aunt has now died there, her end of life care was superb, I was so impressed with the way she was looked after. They have continued to care for my uncle and have really helped him in his bereavement. Nothing is too much trouble and the wonderful attitude of everyone working at Horsfall is a pleasure to see.

Overall Experience
From the moment Mum was welcomed to Horsfall House we have been impressed how the whole team has dedicated themselves to her care and well-being. They appreciate everyone as individuals having their care to meet that person's needs. We see that not for our mum but for everyone else here too. Mum said it best and all when she said "I'm surrounded by kindness here".

Review from Liz R (Wife of Resident) published on 9 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My husband has been cared for superbly for two and a half years now, following a massive stroke. The nurses pay great attention to his many needs, liaising with doctors and the hospital. The carers are attentive (and affectionate I think) both with him and me. I receive great support from all staff when times are difficult from management to cleaners! The premises are cheerful, welcoming and kept very clean, a wonderful home for my husband and all the care he receives.

Overall Experience
My wife has been in this unit for more than 2 years.
She has always been treated with respect and dignity.
The caring staff are very good at their various tasks; talking with the residents, feeding the less able, etc.

Review from Sarah P (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 October 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The care staff at Horsfall House are very kind, attentive and supportive. Residents are treated with dignity and respect. When call bells are rung, they are dealt with straight away. Some homes I have visited have bells ringing almost continuously, which is very annoying and frustrating for the residents. When I have raised queries with management, they have been responded to very quickly. My mum feels able to question staff if she is dissatisfied, and has had a sympathetic response. When she complained about food being too salty, the chef went to see her to listen to her complaint.
Horsfall is always clean and does not have a distinctive aroma. Hygiene standards are good.
The receptionists are always welcoming and take a genuine interest in the residents and their families. Management staff know the residents and are available for a chat. Activities could be organised better. Mum is still very able mentally and she would like more challenging activities.

Review from Vesper W (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 November 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was a regular at the day centre and the care and support she got were flawless. A team of compassionate and knowledgeable carers who gave her her self-confidence back and something to look forward to every day. She met others, laughed lots and even ate well, a huge problem for her at home. I can't thank them enough for being there for both of us.
