This home was so welcoming from the minute you entered the building. The staff were very friendly, they obviously enjoy their work. My sister was always perfectly presented and her chair was always placed in the best possible place so that she could see any activity. The staff there are to be commended on the way they represent the home. I was amazing when I noted the home opened in 2000 it is so well kept.
Thank you Peggy for your feedback and kind words. Really appreciated.
I stayed for 10 days after a new hip operation. The staff were professional in their expertise and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. They gave me my injections and changed my wound when needed. It was like being in a posh hotel. Everyone obviously enjoyed working there as I was always greeted with a smile. They gave me what was best for me, not easiest for them. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family. My recovery has been excellent because of the good start I had. The activities were encouraged and all joined in, not just watching.
Thank You for your kind feedback, it is much appreciated
I know she can be hard work, dementia is such a horrible condition and as a family we know this is not her.
Special praise for the lady who has been looking after Granny and is always so amazing with passing on information, just really carers for the residence there, which you can see. I saw her yesterday and I honestly just think she is incredible and we love her banter, especially with Granny.
I think it is easy to always see the negatives in everything but really feel the care has been first class, thank you from the bottom of my heart (and can also probably speak for my whole family).
Thank You for your kind feedback, Much appreciated
Dad went in for respite, while we worked out his best options. We were very impressed and booked him in to be a resident. Sadly he passed away after a sudden decline, but the care of the staff was awesome.
Thank You for your kind feedback and we are glad to know that your expectations in terms of care for your dad has met at Glastonbury care home
My dear mum was only on respite but ended up a resident mum was well cared for the staff are brilliant mum called the staff he girls when mum needed more care the staff were there for mum the staff at times were very busy but still had the time The food brilliant thank you all at Burnell care
Thank you for your kind feedback regarding the care your mother received during her stay at Glastonbury care home
My mum was taken from hospital to Glastonbury Care Home for rehabilitation. I am so pleased that she was sent here. All the staff from managers to the cleaners were absolutely amazing. Showing my mum, respect, dignity, care and most of all a smile and encouragement. Nothing was too much trouble, although everyone was so busy. The daily activities were a joy to attend and the staff ensured that everyone enjoyed themselves, whilst being looked after in every way. Thank you to all the staff, I am very grateful.
Thank You for your kind feedback, Much appreciated
My husband is cared for by kind, compassionate and highly competent staff. Nothing seems too much trouble. It is sad that he can't return home but fortunate to be in the Glastonbury Care Home.
Thank you for your kind feedback, much appreciated
It was extremely stressful when I discovered that I had to move my husband from a care home close to where I live. The positivity and welcome at GCH was incredible, from the initial admission procedure I began to feel a confidence that I had found the right place for us. There were some painful and tearful moments in coping with change, but with professional kindness, comfort and understanding we quickly began to feel at home. The atmosphere within GCH of feeling part of a family with fun and friendship thrown in, I find too difficult to describe, but it's there and very precious. Thank you on behalf of us both, it's well worth the drive across the levels to find my husband cared for by a class team!
Thank you for your kind feedback, very much appreciated
I'm thrilled to share a review of Glastonbury Care Home where my best friend stayed. The care home was absolutely fantastic. The staff there provided exceptional care and support making sure my best friend felt comfortable every step of the way. The facilities were well equipped and accessible allowing residents to move around easily. The activities offered were very engaging and inclusive, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The meals were not only delicious but also catered to various dietary needs showing a genuine dedication to the well-being of each resident. Overall the care home was wonderful.
Thank You for your kind feedback and I will pass this to our wonderful team.
Everyone old, and new, members of staff were always smiling and welcoming. One big happy family who was very welcoming and warm.
Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all and making my 94-year-old Dad happy in his later years before his death.
Many thanks for your kind words. I will pass this on to the team.
The care my husband received was excellent.
Thank You for your kind feedback, much appreciated.
I found the home very caring and helpful throughout my mum's life there and I feel that we couldn't have found a better place for her. I wish all the staff well and thank them from the bottom of my heart for looking after her.
Thank you for your kind feedback and we will pass the feedback on to the team. It was a great pleasure to care for your mother for 6 years at Glastonbury care home.
Mum has lived at the home for over 4 years. Her needs have changed considerably and she now needs nursing care. The staff are amazing and the care and compassion both to mum and myself have made a such a difference to our lives. We were lucky to find you. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind feedback and support as always, much appreciated.
My husband had wonderful care in Westhay from admission to death. All the staff were amazing and so kind. Nothing was ever too much trouble and also dealt with him with a smile and a cheerful manner. I would highly recommend Glastonbury Care Home to anyone.
Thank You for your kind feedback and glad to know that we have managed to support your husband as per the expectations during his stay with us.
My elderly father has recently, spent a 2 week respite stay in the home. Right from my initial contact, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate his needs. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and was extremely well cared for. Communication was excellent, and the staff worked together as a very resourceful, happy team. They are so friendly and supportive and yet thoroughly professional and responsive. Senior management is very strong and leads their very capable, energetic staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home. We feel very grateful and very lucky to have such an amazing resource in our local community.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. Much appreciated.
The smiles on their faces, you can see and feel they love their jobs.
You can feel the warmth, it's like a home from home, a warm inviting place.
Impeccable service, above and beyond.
Thank you for your kind feedback about your visit to Glastonbury Care Home. Glad to know that you are reassured about your relative's care in Glastonbury Care Home
Just a few lines to congratulate you all, but especially the staff that were on duty on Wednesday 3 July, whilst myself and another friend were visiting a resident.
The welcome, efficiency and overall professionalism was evident from the staff in every context. My initial telephone calls, to arrange this visit, were dealt with in a manner that gave assurance. Thank you to - front of house so to speak - doing a great job! Our time spent with our friend was a joy but was enhanced by having a lovely setting and a delightful lunch to share together. Her team leader and his team were delightful.
Well done to you all - it's not easy to keep up this high standard. - but please do! A welcomed breath of fresh air. I hope that this message will be shared - from the manager to the respectful cleaner - you all have a vital role to play to make Glastonbury Care Home a home! Great.
Thank you for your kind feedback in regards to your visit to Glastonbury Care Home. We are very glad to know that you had a great time during your visit
I don't think I need to.
Thank you for your kind feedback. As always, you know where we are if you need any help
The home provided her with excellent care throughout. The staff were always very attentive and kind. The administration was very good.
My mother had hoped to stay in her own home but, once that proved impossible, she was very happy indeed at Glastonbury.
I have no hesitation in recommending this home.
Thank you for your kind feedback, very much appreciated.
Our whole family is very happy with the professionalism that the home provides. We are so glad we were able to get our father in the home.
Thank you for your valuable feedback, it is much appreciated.
