Stretton Nursing Home

The nursing home is very friendly and welcoming to relatives and patients. The home is clean and nicely decorated making it feel homely. The food is freshly cooked daily and a lovely selection is nutritious. The staff are very helpful and answer any questions we may have. Medical needs are catered for daily and checked upon to see if any need changing. Activities for patients are provided to encourage socialising which is good for well-being.

Her appetite was not good and she was unable to eat the food that was on regular offer. Once this was noted the catering staff made every effort to provide food that she found more palatable. We were also able to visit whenever we liked and also to take our little dog, who she loved and cheered her up every day. We are just so grateful for all that was done for her at Stretton, it met her needs 100%.

My mother was very frail when she moved here and quickly became bedbound. She often told me how good the food was and how kind the staff were. I found the staff unfailingly polite, courteous and very caring to/about my mother. She recently developed breathing difficulties (heart failure) and died in the home 30 hours later. My siblings and I were with her throughout, and the kindness and compassion shown to us at all times by staff at all levels was outstanding.

I am just so pleased my mum now has 24-hour care, and it’s all thanks to the staff at Stretton - well done.

Recently visited a friend here and was disgusted to see how shabby the place is. Staff were non-existent, asked how many staff were on duty at any one shift and told only four. Clients left in dirty pads, client not assisted out of bed to get mobile, one resident's alarm was left buzzing for the full hour of my visit and still buzzing for assistance when I left. Nothing is calming in this place, paintwork like a nursery school, orange, lime green gloss needing desperate renewing. The staff I did see were unkempt, rude, and abrupt to my friend. This place needs a complete overhaul. Please don't allow your loved ones to go here.
