Wotton Rise

Thank you so much for the ongoing care Dad is receiving at Wotton Rise. He has settled so very well with you all, which is a great comfort to our family. The staff are so welcoming and kind, always smiling and pleased to help, nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend Wotton Rise for their continuing thoughtful and compassionate care for Dad. A big thank you to everyone at the nursing home.

The staff are amazing and caring. Everyone is treated with dignity. There is lots of entertainment. I can visit at any time and am often offered a cup of tea, which makes visiting Dad relatively 'normal'. There are plenty of newspapers and magazines. The month of the year is displayed prominently and all major events are celebrated.

It took a while for my brother to settle, but the staff were very good and took their time to reassure him. He's happy and looked after with kindness and reassurance. The staff give a warm welcome to all who visit, and are very approachable if its something they are not sure about they will get a member of staff who will know.

I can't speak more highly of the staff, very pleasant and kind. The room placed as poor, needs decorating and painting as it looks drab.

My father is happy and settled and the staff treat him with dignity whilst also supporting the family. He has enjoyed the food a lot as well. He has enjoyed some of the activities, especially the Steel band. The staff are friendly and always smiling and nothing is too much trouble.

My brother has been at the home for nearly a year, he took a while to settle in, but the staff were patient with him to allay his fears and anxiety. If there are any problems the staff contact me to let me know. Now he joins in talking to other residents and even banter with some of the staff. Since he has been there he's put on weight so must be enjoying the food. He doesn't easily admit to aches and pains the staff seem to know when he has some and treats him accordingly.

A very pleasant and friendly atmosphere in the home whenever I visit. When they have musical day and other activities they do their utmost to involve all the residents, although some are bedridden. The food is good and well-presented. Some of the residents are unable to chew the meat from casseroles as it is not soft enough for them to eat, overall, the variety of food on offer is excellent.

Good, honest and safe care. Our mum enjoyed her stay and we were happy that she was in a nice place, home from home.

My mum suffers from dementia and has been a resident at Wotton Rise Care Home for the past 6 years. Like any family member, I was very reluctant and worried for my mum to go into a care home for her remaining days/months/years. My fears were instantly re-assured by the owner (who is amazing) and all the wonderful staff who have cared for my mum over the years. Their care and compassion towards her is second to none. They always keep me fully informed with regard to any additional needs required with my mum's condition and health and are always very accommodating when we visit. During Covid they were amazing, even though we couldn’t visit, they were really caring and understanding to us as a family with any worries we had with regard to the situation. 100% I would recommend Wotton Rise as an amazing care home for your loved ones to be a resident.

My mum has been a resident of Wotton Rise for over a year now. When she went to the home from hospital it was for end-of-life care and here we are 14 months on, which can only be a testament to the excellent care she has received. It is a small family-run home. Mum is bed-bound but the care and attention she has been given means, despite being immobile we have had no issues with bed sores. Despite her limitations at 96 years old, she is happy in her surroundings. She is not able to go to the lounge to join other residents, but I see them as I come and go and they all seem cheerful as do the staff which speaks volumes. Staff spend time with mum, they chat to her and listen to music - so she is not lonely. Everyone is always welcoming to me and I know that if there were any issues I would be phoned immediately. I cannot thank them enough - knowing that your parent is having to be cared for by someone else is not easy, knowing that they are being well cared for makes it much easier.
