The Mount provided that and so much more. I cried when it came to moving mum to a new home closer to our own home. Mum cried too. She regarded The Mount as home from home. If her condition changed she will go back there! Thank you, The Mount.
I would like to say thank you to you Polly for taking the time to complete a care home review. I am very grateful for your continued support in driving the home forward, it's lovely to read your positive comments. Your mum is very much missed here at The Mount and you are more than welcome here at any time.
She (and many others) would benefit from a little more stimulation, both mental and physical but overall we are very happy that she is in the right place.

In response, Michelle has reviewed the activities plans and we have now developed a three-month robust plan to ensure that our residents are always receiving stimulation.
Thank you very much for all your continued support.

Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. It was lovely to have your aunt in our home during her respite period and to hear that she enjoyed her stay with us. We hope to see you all again soon.

My grandma recently transferred to The Mount House and all I can say is that she has become part of a extended family. The Home is lovely, the Staff are very kind and always smiling. The Manager is very supportive and understanding of my grandma's needs and ours. The home is currently being refurbished and is looking beautiful. We are very happy with our choice of home.

I would like to say thank you for completing a review, your feedback is very valuable. Thank you for your continued support.
Overall I was happy with the services and facilities provided. My only slight criticism was that some members of staff seemed too eager to say how well my brother had settled in when he had only been resident for a very short time.

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete a Care home review. In response to staff being eager to inform family that your brother had settled in well, I believe what they were trying to do is offer reassurance as he did appear content and happy with all services provided.

The care my mother-in-law received from all the staff was outstanding over those last weeks. The kindness and sensitivity made a sad time bearable. From the cleaners, kitchen, office and maintenance staff. They all cared for her and us, the family. After their day had finished they would pop in to check on us, when they had time, they would sit with her if I wasn't there. A huge thank you to all at Mount House.
Given time and good conscientious staff with her. I am sure she will succeed in putting things right. Lots of luck.

We are very pleased to hear that your friend enjoyed her stay here with us at the Mount House and Severn view.
Very kind staff. Easy to talk to and show understanding. It does look as if there should be more staff available. The removal of carpet to put down hard flooring does concern me as although it must be more hygienic and easy to clean, it is more of a risk when it comes to falls and injury from falls.

Thank you for taking the time to complete and submit a review for us.It was lovely speaking with you on Friday 19/10/2018, I am pleased to be able to offer reassurance in regards to flooring that Mum currently has laid in her room.
I believe that from our conversation that this was a general comment and you did not intend for this to be seen as a criticism.
During our conversation, we highlighted personal reasons that have led to the vinyl flooring being fitted in mum's room and I was able to offer reassurance the home is having new carpets fitted throughout not vinyl flooring.

During my stay of eighteen days in respite care, I must say that I was extremely impressed by the friendly manner and thoughtfulness shown to me by your staff. Whilst your carers were coping with the refurbishment, which must have added to their normal schedule, any pressures involved were seemingly managed extremely well. My return visit to respite will hopefully be made all sometime in the foreseeable future.
We are very much looking forward to your visit with us next summer.
The staff are friendly and caring. The activities that go on in the home are fantastic - very person-centred and eventful.

Mum seems to be settling in after some respite. I decided the time was right for a permanent stay. The staff are extremely understanding of her needs and are tolerant with Mum.
She does think she wants to go home but gets lonely and in a pickle.There is entertainment at the home and some bubbly staff who interact.
Mum said the food was good and she likes her room, if she's happy I am happy.
It was helpful receiving the minutes of the previous meeting which explained staffing shortages, only hope these are sorted out soon as existing staff are working very hard to make this work.
My mother received excellent respite care, was well looked after, pampered and all of her holistic needs and preferences were catered for. Staff are attentive and friendly. I had the chance to eat with my mother and the home cooked meals were delicious. The home manager is visible, friendly and...

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Vera Moreira, and I am delighted to be joining the team. I am currently supporting your home while we are waiting for the new Manager to start with us.
I have a nursing background, with over 10 years of experience in management and leadership within care and healthcare settings. Earlier in my career, I also had the privilege of serving as a medic within the Air Force, an experience which helped develop my resilience, teamwork, leadership and ability to remain calm and supportive in challenging situations.
Throughout my career, I have always been passionate about delivering high standards of care while creating a positive, respectful and supportive environment for both residents and colleagues. I strongly believe that good communication, teamwork and mutual respect are key to achieving the best outcomes for the people we care for.
I would also like to emphasise that I have an open-door policy. Please feel free to approach me at any time if you need advice, guidance, support or simply someone to talk to. No concern is too small, and I want everyone to feel comfortable sharing ideas, raising concerns and asking for help when needed.
I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone, building positive working relationships and working together as a team to make a meaningful difference to our residents.Please do come and introduce yourselves when you see me. I look forward to meeting you all and working alongside you.
