It is easy for head offices to only hear from families when something goes wrong, which is why I felt it vital to write to you when things have gone so right. You have a remarkable team at Torrwood and they are a true credit to MHA.
Thank you for your kind words, we try to care for residents and families as we would want to be cared for if we were in the same situation. I will ensure this is passed onto the staff team.
The care my mother receives is first class, the carers cannot do enough for her. She is happy and well looked after. All members of staff are caring, happy to help and always smile and are cheerful. The decor in my mothers room could do with updating and the food is not of as high standard as she...
The care my mother receives is first class, the carers cannot do enough for her. She is happy and well looked after. All members of staff are caring, happy to help and always smile and are cheerful. The decor in my mothers room could do with updating and the food is not of as high standard as she would like. Value for money - I understand costs have increased but I feel she is paying far in excess of these changes.
I had a good experience with this care home from the start with professional and helpful staff. The carers,nurses and admin staff are friendly and nothing is to much trouble for them. I am confident my wife who has complex needs with dementia is well looked after in this home.

Thank you for your kind words, it lifts staff morale to get positive feedback and I will ensure this is passed on.
My wife June has been resident in Torrwood with Alzheimers for the last 2 1/2 years. She has been extremely well looked after by caring staff I would (and have) recommend Torrwood to anyone looking for a care home.

Thank you for your kind words, which will be passed onto the staff. Caring is team work and it is good for everyone if families are able to be part of that team.

Always found Torrwood to be a caring and loving home. My wife was a resident here until she passed away earlier this year. Now come back to visit residents I got to knew - always enjoy my visits as everyone is so warm and friendly, and there's always a cup of tea.

The care home has a relaxed and homely atmosphere and staff always seem to have time to talk to relatives. They always treat residents with kindness and compassion and seem genuinely to care about their welfare. Medical problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently with relatives kept informed....

However I feel a lack of activities and stimulation contributed to his deterioration! The music also was reduced to one day and by this...
On visiting regularly it was clearly evident that there were staff shortages and the care standards had dropped. Also outings and even garden activities didn't happen.
I wouldn't recommend this carehome because of the lack of stimulation and the shortage of specialist nursing type chairs for end of life was evident with residents spending all day in bed! I purchased a chair for my husband for the last few weeks of his life otherwise he would have been in bed for the majority of the time he had left!I have been a support leader before I retired and can say I gave 100% care to ensure residents had the care they deserved.
Thank you for your review. I am delighted that you found the care your husband received, particularly at the last week of his life, was very good. We have had difficulties in recruiting to the Activities position and every effort has been made to resolve this, and we are making some progress....
Thank you for your review. I am delighted that you found the care your husband received, particularly at the last week of his life, was very good. We have had difficulties in recruiting to the Activities position and every effort has been made to resolve this, and we are making some progress. Staffing levels are higher than the industry guidelines and this is in recognition of the care needs of the residents on this unit. Providing specialist chairs is generally arranged through the GP who then must arrange for an Occupational Therapist to assess before requesting the seating required. We do try and ensure this happens without delay. It is sad that some residents have no one close to visit or to sit with them and we do our best to provide what comfort we can. It is lovely that you were able to stay with your husband.

Excellent communication re updates to our father's evolving health condition. Staff are always friendly and pleasant when visiting and happy to take time to share updates. The senior nurses whom I have dealt with have been exemplary.

Thank you to all of the staff for your professionalism, kindness, and hard work and for providing such an essential service to those who need your help so much.
The home was infected by Norovirus. Despite the extra needs of all the residents in the section where my mother lives, no one succumbed to the disease, though my Mum, was considered to be on end-of-life care. I was called in on 5th December with her grandchildren. She was placed on a ripple...
Thanks to the care from all the staff, organised by the senior carers, my Mum is alive and even walking a little!
A few extra staff might help at busy times.

A very caring environment with residents at the centre of everything and staff working hard to help make each day the residents' best possible. There is a limit to the quality of life that Mum can achieve because of her dementia but within those limits, she is as happy as she could be.
