The overall care my friend receives is very good. She has dementia and she is treated with dignity and compassion.

Review from Polly S (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Mum had to move to The Mount due to care issues in her previous home which resulted in the need for better care.

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.

Overall Experience
My mother, who has dementia, has been resident for nearly two years. She has settled in very well and the staff are lovely with her.

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.

Reply from Michelle Middleton-Price, General Manager at Barchester Mount House & Severn View Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete and submit a review for us.

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.

Review from David L (Nephew of Resident) published on 3 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My aunt came to stay at the Mount House and Severn view for a short respite period. The rehabilitation and the care and support that she received was outstanding. From management being supportive to the kindness of the carers and the great atmosphere, this made her stay very positive and she enjoyed her respite break. It is peace of mind to know that she was being well looked after. The home is looking great after the refurbishment.

Thank you for your kindness.

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.

The new manager has brought with her a professional approach to care delivery and the home's decor is fresh and welcoming. The staff are friendly and caring.

Review from David T (Brother of Resident) published on 27 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Michelle Middleton Price, General Manager at Barchester Mount House & Severn View Care Home

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.

Review from W B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 25 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
In August and throughout September, my mother-in-law's life started to slip away.

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.

The new manager is taking great strides to put things right. When things have been allowed to slip it cannot be put right overnight.

Given time and good conscientious staff with her. I am sure she will succeed in putting things right. Lots of luck.

Review from A W (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Sunny D (Respite Resident) published on 22 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Michelle Middleton Price, General Manager at Barchester Mount House & Severn View Care Home

Mount House is always neat and tidy, staff are always on hand for every eventuality and work extremely hard at what they do. Professionalism is the key and they all have it in abundance.

Well done everyone.

Review from Sue H (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
