Blossomfield Grange

My aunt was very happy here. She loved the staff and joined in the activities. The room was perfect with a separate bedroom which she particularly asked for.

My mother has been a resident at Blossomfield Grange for five months now. The staff on reminiscence have been brilliant with her. Helping her to settle after a lot of anxiety issues. Rooms and living area always very clean and food is good with lots of choice. Plenty of activities going on and Mom enjoys the minibus outings.

It was a very hard decision to place my husband in care, but I must say, I am so glad it was Blossomfields. The care that the staff give to my husband is above what you could hope for. Each time I visit, it is quite obvious that he is well looked after and loved by the carers, and his reaction is reciprocated to the carers. He always looks clean and tidy and well content. As you walk into Blossomfields, there is a friendly greeting from reception. The ambience of Blossomfields is a warm and comfortable homely place, with lovely gardens to walk around, as most days, weather permitting, my husband does.

Overall, I think we made a very good choice in moving my parents to Blossomfield Grange. I only wish we had done it sooner.

In November and December last year my wife, who has Alzheimer's, needed respite care and spent twenty-eight days in Blossomfield Grange Care Home. From the beginning, I found the staff to be attentive, helpful and caring. All the facilities are good and the gardens are lovely. As my wife has now entered the home for a further period of respite care, I have confidence in knowing that she will be well looked after. Whenever I visit, I can see that my wife particularly appreciates the activities provided.

This is a lovely home with a very caring team. It has a wonderful atmosphere with bright, airy living areas, and the resident's rooms are also good sizes. There are many activities for residents if they wish to get involved, and often families are invited to attend garden parties. The food is very good, and there is a private dining room for residents to eat with their friends and families. The care was very good, and my father seemed very happy there. I would recommend it.

My aunt has been a resident for many years and having been a very independent lady prior to her residence we as a family knew it would be really hard for her to adjust to life in a care home. Blossomfield Grange has met every challenge faced along the way with great patience, care and support. Auntie likes her own space and the staff have proven to acknowledge and respect this allowing for my aunt to adapt and develop her own routine which she likes. I do not live near the home so it is comforting to know that at all times there is such a high and loving standard of care.

Last week my nan celebrated her 100th birthday and the staff made a huge effort to make the day very special for both my nan and our family. We were all quite overwhelmed with everything that they did, making the event quite emotional. It is telling that my nan, who unfortunately now has little short-term memory, could still recall the celebrations on the following day.

We visit monthly and always find the staff very helpful and charming. Despite covid, we were still allowed our visits, which gave comfort to our cousin. The entertainment staff are amazing and so friendly to us all.

Since my Dad moved into Blossomfield Grange a few months ago, every single member of staff has been friendly and welcoming. The admission process was made so easy for him and he has now settled in well. The food generally is very good with alternatives available. He has needed extra care the last few weeks and it is incredibly reassuring for the family to know that Dad is in a safe place.

Our cousin looks well cared for and enjoys the trips out. She has told us that she joins in with some of the activities

We have two relatives currently residing at Blossomfield Grange Care Home, both of whom moved in when the home was managed by a different company. Since Care UK took over there have been clear signs of improvement and both relatives are very content with their accommodation and the standard of care. The carers are kind and helpful but really come into their own when someone is ill. There is an excellent range of activities on offer and the staff work tirelessly to try to engage all the residents. At present, there is a senior manager temporarily in post, following the resignation of the previous incumbent. The newcomer is superb and will undoubtedly help to raise standards across the board. No care home is ever going to please every occupant in every aspect of their life all of the time because we are all individuals with differing opinions and standards but we feel that our relatives are safe, well-cared-for, well-fed, warm and surrounded by help when needed thanks to all who work there.

Overall, my father is very content, his care is excellent and activities enjoyed. The only criticism is that sometimes he feels he is not being listened to.

Over the past few weeks, as my mum has gradually slipped away, I have been overwhelmed by the care, and indeed the love, that not just my mum but also my brother and myself have been shown by the colleagues in each and every one of the Blossomfield team. In my opinion, it has been the model example of how every single member of staff in a care home should see themselves as first and foremost caring for the residents, whatever their specific role title. At Blossomfield there is no doubt that they are indeed all carers for the family of residents who are living their later years in a residential environment. I have shared with so many friends and family (at times almost to their disbelief) just how incredible the last few days were of my mother's life thanks to the whole team at Blossomfield Grange.

My aunt seems really happy and says she wishes she had come earlier.

Lovely building. Light and good-sized rooms. Food is good, good options. Very good service at mealtimes. The inner and outer gardens are splendid. Care is good and carers are friendly. Availability of refreshments at all times.

Mum has just reached 101 years old. Her range of needs is increasing and Mum can be difficult. The staff are amazing, in general, and for special occasions like her birthday. we visit regularly and know the high standards continue when we are not present.

I am very well cared for. I enjoy most of the activities including bingo and the book club.

I have lived at Blossomfield Grange since 6 September 2019. I love the garden and the grounds and like to walk around them. I also use the exercise bike daily to help keep me fit. I have made new friends with the residents and staff. The food is nice and varied and I can give my feedback at the monthly food forum. The minibus trips are good but I would like to see more residents using them.

We have seen first-hand how some patients react and how staff have dealt with that so well.
