Sadly dad passed away in September but I've been told that his immediate carers still miss him, which shows the compassion and care they gave him.

I couldn't ask for nicer staff to look after my mother in her final months. She came in as a respite patient and never left.

I have now been at Pondsmead for 18 months and I am very happy to call it my home. My delightful room is comfortable and cosy and overlooks part of the garden where, at my request, some new plants have recently been added. All the staff work hard and must get very tired but they are always cheerful and friendly, and show great patience towards the more challenging residents. I have always received respect and kindness and I endeavor to treat them in the same way. Being in my 80s I have a number of older friends, and I have recommended Pondsmead to them all!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. Were truly delighted to hear that Pondsmead feels like home to you after 18 months. Its wonderful to know youre enjoying your cosy room and the view of the garden were so pleased we could add the new plants you requested.
Friendly, compassionate, professional staff who treated us all with respect as individuals and as a family. They accommodated Dad's needs and he has settled extremely quickly in a safe, enjoyable environment. Would highly recommend.
