Mum moved from rehab bed following a fall + surgery. She has multiple co-morbidities incl. dementia. The staff are outstanding + promote dignity + wellbeing in a calm unhurried environment. Mum has settled well + has full care incl intimate care delivered in very respectful ways. Mum doesn't understand that it is a permanent placement but I have every confidence in her lead nurse 'Lynn' & the manager Alex. This has been a difficult move for my dad + us, but made so much easier by the staff at Wells Nursing Home
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your mum has settled well and that our team, have helped make this difficult transition a little easier for your family. Your trust and appreciation mean a great deal to us all at Wells Nursing Home.

I was very happy with the care given to my husband who stayed for respite care. He said the staff were kind. He was smart and shaved when I picked him up. He and I were treated with respect and kindness. My only worry was that his own wheelchair was taken out if his room and put into a storage cupboard and I had to ask where it was and help staff to look for it. All his other belongings were neatly packed. I plan to use this respite care service again. Belinda Canning
We're pleased your husband had a positive respite stay and was treated with kindness and respect. We also appreciate you raising the issue with his wheelchair and will address this with the team.

My wife Diana had a catastrophic fall and suffered bleeds on the brain!! After 3 weeks in hospital though still not well I had her transferred to The Wells Nursing Home as this is only 5 miles from our home. From the first day right through the month the staff from the manager down have been superb with their care and attention to my wife. The home is cheery, light, food good, rooms clean etc. Several excursions plus activities, faultless!

Better than expected, the staff are friendly and kind. The building is dated. I would recommend this home.

All the staff I've met seem nice and friendly. They do lots of different things, e.g. activities, events, etc., to cater for a wide range of people. The staff will do all they can to make the residents happy. The rooms could be a little cleaner. Quite often, when I visit, there are bits all over the floor, and the commode is full. Once the staff are made aware of this, they then act quickly to rectify it. The room my nan is in is quite small, but she is very happy there though.

We discussed the proximity of facilities, activities set out for residents and the overall care plan. The efficiency and care gone into planning for the move-in date was fantastic.
While some facilities may have required cosmetic updating, which the home was in the process of doing, all staff have been absolutely amazing.
On the actual move-in date, everyone was so welcoming on what was a very emotional day, as my husband had spent a long time in hospital before moving into the Wells Nursing Home. We had lunch together and had time to settle in.
It was the start of a journey of excellent support both for my husband and myself. His room is always clean, his clothes immaculate and the food is top quality.
The garden is beautiful and wheelchair-friendly, and we get to have some quality time together.
I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for excellent care for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We're truly grateful for your trust and are so pleased the move-in felt smooth and supportive.

My mother comae her after a long hospital stay and did not want to go into care, but as she was unable to care for herself and not mobile, she has little choice but the improvement in her mood and motivation are noticuble, she admits she is happy here, staff are very good as is the food and all activities, she has made friends which is lovely to see. The manager is very caring and has done everything she can to make my mother welcome.
Thank you for your kind review. We're so pleased to hear your mother is happy, well cared for, and enjoying the activities, food, and company here.
The gardens are particularly beautiful and peaceful. The staff were wonderful and kind. The bedroom was very nice with lovely views. The manager was lovely and arranged for a TV and recliner chair to be in my room. I look forward to returning again later in the year.

My brother has only been a resident for a short period, but the staff have made every effort to ensure he has settled and is comfortable. He is always showered and shaved when we visit, and very much looks forward to his meals which are excellent, well presented and hot. The team are always welcoming and always try to address any queries we may have.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your brother is settling in well and feeling comfortable. It's wonderful to know he's enjoying the meals and that our team has made a positive Environment.
It has been my experience that most of the staff give far more to their job and the residents than the basic responsibility required by their employment contractual obligation. The manager in particular can be best described in one word as 'dedicated'.
