Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough about the care my father receives in this care home.Dad has been here for over 18 months after moving from another care home. All the staff are compassionate and go above and beyond to ensure his comfort, dignity and wellbeing. The staff are highly professional and always

treat us with kindness and keep us informed and involved with all aspects of dad's care. The home itself is always clean and smelling fresh and welcoming, there is entertainment and everyone is welcomed to join in.
I am just so grateful for everything you do, Thank you doesn't seem enough.

Overall Experience

My very dear friend has now been a resident at Talbot House for three years. She is extremely happy, healthy and content there. This, as I have said before, is due to the brilliant care and support shown to her and all the other residents. The Talbot House team are excellent and provide a fantastic

home life for them all. I call it a home as that is what it is for the residents it is their home. The regular festivities, shows and singers all play a great part. Some kind of activity takes place every day keeping them entertained. I get a wonderful and very happy feeling every time I walk through the door. I have been shown around the newly completed extension which is a very welcome addition to Talbot House. The fact that they have been shortlisted for another award speaks for itself. Well done Talbot House team and a big thank you.

Reply from Dr Vivek Gupta, CEO at Talbot HouseThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a lot to the whole team at Talbot House.
We are delighted to hear that your friend is happy, healthy and feels at home with us - that is exactly what we strive to achieve every single day. Our team work incredibly hard to create a safe, caring and engaging environment, so it's wonderful to see that reflected in your experience.

Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your feedback. It genuinely motivates our team to continue delivering the highest standards of care.

This care home provides an exceptionally high standard of care within a genuinely warm and welcoming environment. There is a strong family feel, where residents are known as individuals and treated with dignity, kindness, and respect. Staff are consistently attentive, compassionate, and responsive,

nothing is ever too much trouble, and care is delivered with patience and genuine warmth.
The home offers a rich and varied programme of activities, ensuring residents remain socially engaged and included. Seasonal celebrations such as Halloween & Christmas, along with national and significant events including royal weddings, are thoughtfully planned and inclusive, involving residents, families, and friends alike. These occasions foster a strong sense of community and belonging.
Quality of food is outstanding, with careful attention paid to individual likes, dislikes, and dietary needs. Meals are clearly prepared with care, and residents are supported to enjoy food as a meaningful event.

Overall Experience

My mum was a resident of Talbot House for almost two years. During this time she had numerous health issues which were well dealt with. The home is very professional, staff are also caring + respectful. My mum could be a handful at times. She struggled with losing her home and independence. The home

involve as many residents as possible in the events etc. The food is good. I can't praise the home enough for their care of my mum. Especially towards the end.

Extremely happy with the care given to Mum whilst at Talbot House. The staff are cheerful, caring and have time not only for mum but for friends and relative that visit. The home has a friendly and homely feel to it and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who has a family member

requiring residential care.

Overall Experience

Mum came to Talbot House after a stay in hospital following a stroke. Mum was only with Talbot House for just over two weeks and in that time they cared for Mum and showed her compassion, empathy and dignity. They also cared for my sister and I during this upsetting time. All the staff went above and

beyond their remit and for that I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

Overall Experience

Mum spent 3 and a half years living at Talbot House. When she first moved in we thought the home was very good, but since then it has continued to get even better! She loved her room and all the staff. She enjoyed the various BBQs and entertainment. After experience of other homes with my father-in-law,

Talbot House is first-class for care.
We found each and every one of the staff and the manager to be proactive, caring and considerate. Nothing has been too much trouble to make Mum happy. Thanks, once again, for all your care and love provided to Mum.

Reply from Daniel Feneysey, Registered Manager at Talbot HouseThank you so much for your very kind review! It was our pleasure to have been able to care for your Mum. We are all so glad that you and your Mum had such a good experience here at Talbot House! You are always welcome here at Talbot House and look forward to seeing you at our future events! I will be sure to share your comments with the team.

Overall Experience

Mum settled in quickly since moving in back in February and calls it her home. The staff are all very caring and nothing's too much. We take Mum out and about but she's always glad to get back to her home. Mum's always praising the amount of food she gets and the entertainment they provide. Staff will

always offer me a hot drink when I visit or even food if they are having a celebration. I couldn't wish for a better place for my mum to be. Well done to the manager and all his lovely staff.

Reply from Paul Smith, Director of Care, Quality and Operations at Talbot HouseThank you for your wonderful review.

Last week, Talbot House arranged a singalong/singer for the residents/friends and family of residents. It was a most enjoyable time, with tea and homemade cakes. The staff were really good at getting residents etc. involved and joining in. My mum has been there for two months and has settled well.
The

staff are professional, friendly and kind.
The home has a lovely feel about it, which is why it was our first choice. The staff are friendly and caring.
The food is lovely, my mum is enjoying her meals.

Overall Experience

Mum has been here at Talbot House for a year now. Her health has improved dramatically since she has been at Talbot House. Whenever I visit, I am always greeted with a cheerful happy smile. All staff are so friendly making me tea as well as the residents. If I have any concerns the office door is always

open, and the manager is always approachable and solves any concerns at the time. Mum has an excellent rapport with all of the staff. Mum can be very particular at times however her needs are always catered for. Mum is included in activities and also in charge of laying the tables as well as being included in the fire marshal training in the home.

Reply from Paul Smith, Director of Care, Quality and Operations at Talbot HouseThank you for your kind review, Linda. I am delighted to learn that your mum is so well catered for at our Talbot House Care Home.

Overall Experience

My mother received respite care at Talbot House in June 2023 and experienced a positive and enjoyable stay at the home. Upon arrival the staff made my mother welcome, introducing her to various residents and carers. The check-in process was smooth and handled professionally and all my questions were

answered clearly.
During her week at Talbot House, my mother enjoyed the various activities organised and she was very complimentary about the food! Given her stay coincided with nice weather in Staffordshire, my mother loved the fact that she was able to spend time in the lovely garden, something she had not experienced for a long time.
Her care needs were met with dignity and gentleness and the staff were always attentive. My interactions with the team at Talbot House were always friendly, considerate and helpful - I cannot speak highly enough of them.
Overall, the care was of a high quality and I would have no hesitation in using Talbot House again if required.

Reply from Dr Vivek Gupta, Director at Talbot HouseThank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt review of Talbot House, which means the world to all the staff at the home. We are working hard to continue improving the service and are grateful for your feedback. We will ensure your kind words are passed on to the whole staff team.
