Overall Experience

My wife has been resident here for about 6 years. In that time, she has received very good care. I have visited almost every day and always made welcome.

I don't think that I could have chosen a more appropriate one.

Review from Margaret E (Wife of Resident) published on 29 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Overall, over a 10-month residence, the standard of care - good and attention is immediate if requested, the doctor attends when requested (over and beyond routine visits). Cheerful care, meals as "family standard" not luxurious but well-balanced and obviously provided within a sensible cost budget. Acceptable and enjoyed by "my resident" usually. Activities provided frequently with lots of variety and fun, not too taking mentally. Musicians, singers coming in, church service, celebrations noted (both personal birthdays and Christmas). Overall - satisfactory.

Review from Helen S (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Generally, my mum is happy and well cared for. The staff are generally extremely caring and willing to help. Food is excellent and kitchen staff very approachable regarding individual needs and tastes. Activities have improved a great deal over the last year and there is far better planning and communication.

On occasions, there can be staff difficulties but as a rule, the rest of the staff try not to let it affect their units suffer.

Overall Experience

Have had experiences with Bunkers Hill Care Home over many years (10). Initially, my aunt was here, followed by my mum and mow my mother-in-law. As a family, we have been very happy with the care each family member has received. My mother-in-law has been here for the last 3 years and has blossomed since she has been here. She is a very sociable lady who enjoys the company, activities and food particularly. She has a comfortable room which she has made her home.

Review from Sylvie G (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

During the time my mother has loved here (18 months), she has greatly improved in health and wellbeing. She has made many friends and my mother enjoys her excellent activities and entertainments that are provided. Most of the staff are very caring and polite. Most are very dedicated to making sure the residents are content. There is room for improvement but on the whole, my mother is enjoying living in this home. Families are always made to feel welcome too.

Review from Greville B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 15 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother in law became a resident in late 2017 and since that time I have visited her daily and so become quite familiar with the staff and facilities. Firstly, we have found the staff to be caring and highly professional. If I had any criticism, it would be that we rarely have the opportunity to meet with the care home manager. That said, our relationship with the staff we come into regular contact with is excellent. If ever asked, I would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone.
