Living overseas it was not always possible to visit my elderly father who was resident at Willow Tree from Nov 24 to Jan 26. During this time Debbie the manager, her deputy Laura and the team maintained outstanding care. The staff cared for my dad. I can't thank them enough. Dad passd away recently, the care and communication and support for me was outstanding.
Thank you for your very kind words Stephen. Your dad was a lovely gentleman and a pleasure to care for. Your comments are very much appreciated and I will share them with the team
My grandma is so well cared for, looks so beautiful. Thank you for looking after her. Room always clean and staff cannot do enough to support. A wonderful home.

From arrival the care home provided my auntie with exceptional support, ensuring she was comfortable, safe and well looked after. The staff were lovely, patient and attentive which created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The facilities were clean and well-maintianed, clearly tailored for her needs. The communication with the family members was excellent, with us receiving regular updates and a genuine willingness to listen to any concerns. Overall, I am very grateful for the care and compassion shown towards my aunties, gave us a great peace of mind that she was in the right hands up until her passing hours.

Willow Tree Nursing Home has cared for my sister on "end of life care" for a week. The staff were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. They kept us informed all the time. The home is wonderful. Lovely, friendly, and caring staff. The care they showed her was amazing. When she did pass away, they were perfect. A very caring home. Fully recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. I am really pleased that you are happy with the care and support that was provided to PF during their time at the home.
I visit mum regularly, at least once a week and I am always welcomed by the staff with a big smile and a good chat about all things, not just about mum.

I visit mum regularly, at least once a week and I am always welcomed by the staff with a big smile and a good chat about all things, not just about mum. I always try to remember the staff names as this is important. If I have any issues when seeing mum, I ask the staff and they are always attentive and knowledgeable. If I have to ask any further questions when I'm not there, I send an email to the manager, which is always responded to very quickly. I do find mum's room quite soul-destroying and lacking in a little comfort, but we can change that ourselves by bringing in furnishings. However, with mum's dementia progressing she does not recognise many items from home, but she still needs to be comfortable.
The care and attention my mum was given at Willow Tree was brilliant. She had complex needs, suffering from both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The staff, especially the trained nurses were so professional in attending to her needs both medically but also in ensuring she was treated with...
The home was cleaned to a very high standard and the food was cooked by a trained chef and was fantastic.
When mum was in her final days they were great. Lots of advice, we could visit whenever we asked, even in the early hours of the morning. Thank you Willow Tree from the bottom of my heart
You all made a very difficult time very bearable.

Given this home has had many managers I have found that this particular member of staff has brought stability and she demonstrates great leadership. It is incredibly important and reassuring to leave my mum in good safe hands.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am pleased that you feel that there is now stability in the home and we are determined to continue to improve and continue to deliver quality care to our residents in the home.
This is a fantastic nursing home. Mum was sent here by the hospital after her previous care home told her to leave due to multiple falls. I was dreading it but it turned out to be brilliant and Mum loved it. Whereas she had been bed bound, here they hoisted her into a safe chair and sat her in the...
She loved the food. The carers are all so kind and affectionate. Nurses very professional and attentive. They consulted with me about every aspect of Mum's care and helped me with complicated medical forms. They supported me personally when mum was at the end of her life.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. She was a pleasure to care for and I am so pleased that you found the staff at the home kind and caring. I am very pleased that you found the environment pleasant and suitable for her. Please accept our condolences on the sad loss of the client.

I went to see my grandad at Willow Tree Nursing Home and was absolutely fuming when I got there. If I hadn't of got there when I did he would have been on the floor as he was hanging so far forward on his chair. I sat him up and made him comfortable and went in search of care staff to have a word and find out what was going on. His drinks table was on the opposite side of the room along with his call bell, he's not mobile so can't get up and reach what he needs if it is far away. When I got to him he looked so relieved that we were there saying he had been calling out but no one was coming! When I found a staff member I asked them what was going on. They apologised and told me they had only just started their shift which was fair enough I got there a little after 7pm. I asked when he had been changed she told me 6am then 9:45am and nothing again since. There is so much more to write in there but I am limited to 1000 characters. On this night they told me it was 2 carers to 22 residents.

Thank you, all.
My Mother sadly passed away at Willow Tree. The care and empathy shown by all the staff was exemplary. They couldn't have been more professional and dedicated. Towards the end the nursing required was fairly complex and I challenge anyone to find a better service in Rugby.

Stephen, it was a pleasure looking after your father. Thank you for the wonderful review from all the staff at Willow Tree.
The loving care provided by the staff at Willow Tree is so appreciated. Many of the carers and nurses go the extra mile to care for the residents.

We are very happy with the care our mother is receiving. Every care is taken to look after her well being and she enjoys the friendly banter, raising a smile or a giggle and even a cheeky response from her at times. We really appreciate your hard work and compassion, thank you very much.
