My mother has settled in very well and they treat her with respect and dignity.
There are a couple of things that could be tweaked but overall I am very happy with the care that she receives.
I have been a regular visitor at Hunters over the last year. I have to say they have had lots of changes over the last year but I am so impressed with the manager standing in. She is a wonderful lady, resident and staff focused, she is a credit to Barchester. Well done for finding her.

Staff here are excellent - caring and thorough but they are very pushed for resources and have very little time to spend any "quality time" with the residents. We visit every day but for those residents without visitors in the memory lane area, it is quite lonely and stressful.

A suggestion would be for the activities teams to do a film/music session as so many on the top floor are too immobile to attend activities in the main area. Otherwise just provide a CD player and lots of musical CD's.

As a family we are able to trust mum's care to them in the knowledge she is safe and well cared for.
Dementia/Alzheimer's is a devastating disease for a family who have no previous experience of the condition. Hunters Care centre have made it more bearable for us and mum.
Mum was in respite for 6 weeks and was looked after very well indeed and the staff there are wonderful. They went above and beyond for a difficult client who was in much pain. Can't thank them enough for the special care that Mum received and also how well we, as her family, were treated as well.

My mother has received great care here. Her needs have been met kindly with particular attention to her diabetes. The home itself is safe with a lovely garden. The staff face every challenge with patience - I have been here when the residents have been very challenging.

However, there are a few things that I could do with being tweaked (or adjusting) but overall Hunters Care Centre is a lovely care home.
One only hopes that Barchester realise this lady's true worth.

My mother has been a resident for about five months. I have found the staff to be very friendly and caring. Paying a lot of attention in talking to the residents and calling them by name a nice personal touch and full of patience. This seems to create a happy atmosphere. Attention to activities to...
Lovely venue, the gardens are a credit and lovely for the residents to walk or be walked around. I am glad sherry or wine is offered at meal times which seems varied. Rooms are kept well. There is a staff shortage which should be essential to recruit to ease the current staff.
Staff recruitment and retention are a current problem.

What really struck me about all the staff at Hunters was their open friendliness and genuine desire to care for someone - not just going through the motions of care.
I was truly impressed - from the receptionist to kitchen staff to senior nurses - everyone was warm and friendly.
This is so important.
At the other place, I really had to 'work hard' to get some staff to relate to me.
However, 'Memory Lane' is a rather tried environment with poor lighting and a cramped lounge which is in need of a redesign and refurbishment.

However, 'Memory Lane' is a rather tried environment with poor lighting and a cramped lounge which is in need of a redesign and refurbishment.
The facilities do not match those of the general side of Hunters.
A conservatory could be added to give additional space and light.
The gardens in 'Memory Lane' also need attention, the view from lounge 2 is mainly of a bare fence which is hardly attractive.
The chairs in the lounge face inwards and it is hard to see out, the decking area of the courtyard is rather bare.
The physical environment needs significate improvement.
My Aunt has been at Hunters Care Centre for over 4 years and my mother was a resident before her. The staff are kind, considerate, caring and appreciate the importance of my Aunts dignity. Overall I have been and still am very happy with Hunters Care Centre.
