My Mum arrived at the home for end of life care. They have looked after my Mum very well since she has been at the home for nearly 4 years. The staff are lovely.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure to look after your Mum.
We have been extremely happy with Orchard House Nursing Home. Nothing is too much trouble and staff will answer any questions you may have at any time. Staff are knowledgeable and very approachable.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure to look after your loved one.
My mother is receiving palliative care at Orchard House. The staff have looked after her very well. They treat her as though she is family. Despite the staff having an extremely difficult job, they always make time for Mum and me. Ove the last few years, Mum has been in a few care homes and I can honestly say that she is so much happier here. I would definitely recommend Orchard House.
Thank you for your kind words, it is a pleasure to look after your Mum.
The management and staff of this home are exceptional. The care and love shown to my father, mother in law and now my mother is very moving and we value it enormously. We have never seen anything but kind and attentive focus on their needs from the management, nursing staff, carers, cleaners and catering staff; the entire team has a caring ethos. The food looks tasty and nutritious and all physical needs are monitored and met effectively. The Namaste philosophy ensures that the individual is treated with the utmost respect and that carers focus on their spiritual needs. The staff and management there really are the best of people and we are genuinely privileged to know them. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to any family; their relatives will be safe and beautifully cared for.
Thank you very much for your kind words, it is a pleasure to be able to look after your family.
My Wife was taken there for what was to be her final weeks, she passed away at the end of November. The care and service she had while she was there cannot be faulted it was comforting to know that in her final days she could not have been at a better place. I would certainly highly recommend this home.
Thank you for your kind words. She will be sadly missed by all staff.
I cannot praise the staff of this care home enough. My mother, unfortunately, has recently died, but the nursing care she received at Orchard House was excellent. The care of myself and my sister in mum's final days was also beyond what I expected. Nothing was too much for them, and they were also very friendly and kind. Friends of mums who phoned to ask after her also were impressed with the dedication of the staff. Mum was a very independent person who did not want to go into care, but her failing health meant that it was necessary. Despite her initial feelings, mum settled in and came to have genuine affection for the carers who looked after her. Anyone who has a relative looking for a nursing home for their loved one could not do better than this excellent establishment.
Thank you very much for your kind words, it was a pleasure to look after your mother. She will be missed by all the staff at Orchard House Nursing Home.
Care homes get an awful lot of bad press sometimes and they deserve to be recognised for the great work they do.
Thank you so much for making my grandmother feel so comfortable and safe over the past few years but particularly over the last few days.
You made a difficult time that much easier for us all.
