Staff and care are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. Our mum was placed at The Orchards for a 4-6 week assessment. We looked for another nursing home after this period only because the location was difficult for family to commute to and from. However, after looking at other homes we agreed that the extra travelling was well worthwhile because of the excellent care our mum has received. We are very happy that mum is now a permanent resident and she is happy and settled.
The staff are amazing, friendly, professional and consistent. A lovely clean, caring and safe environment.

Thank you for your comments and I am pleased to note that you thought that the staff were magic. The management team co-ordinated activities for you such as going to the pub for a meal, on an individual basis with the well-being co-ordinator and we are happy that you enjoyed it so much that you asked to go out again with the staff, after you had left the Home. The Home Manager and the Deputy Manager regularly walk around the Home and spent time with yourself on numerous occasions. I understand that you believe that you did not receive any physiotherapy whilst at the nursing home on an EAB basis, however, it does appear that you were offered this service and decided not to follow their instructions.
Excellent transition from hospital to residential home for my mother.

All the staff from the doctor, nurses, carers, physio, cleaning staff and office staff made my mothers stay as comfortable as possible. They were all cheerful and very helpful. Even when they were very busy, they made time to ensure moms rehabilitation went as well as possible.
