The care home in general is okay the new communal area that's been opened this past six months is a godsend for space for each person. The activities woman is doing a great job the hall in general could do with a redecoration and a really thorough clean my Dad'sThe activities woman is doing a great job the hall in general could do with a redecoration and a really thorough clean. My dad's room has had mice/rats in the room the past month and pest control has been putting trips around his room. The care workers don't tend to have much activity with the people in the hall when asking for something It seems like a chore more than a pleasure to help. One annoying thing since the new communal area has been open as my dad has left under the air-conditioning throughout the summer freezing cold with cold air running through his shoulders and they could be more consideration when the air-conditioning is on not to have patience stuck right underneath the cold breeze.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that the new communal area has provided valuable space and that you appreciate the work of our activities coordinator. We will share your kind comments with her.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that the new communal area has provided valuable space and that you appreciate the work of our activities coordinator. We will share your kind comments with her.
I am sorry to hear about your concerns regarding cleanliness, mice activity, staff engagement and your dads comfort. We take these matters seriously. Pest control is attending, and we are reviewing cleaning standards and the additional measures needed to address the problem.
Residents should feel comfortable and receive kind, attentive support. I will address your comments with the care team, including responding willingly to requests, spending time engaging with residents and checking that seating and air-conditioning settings meet their needs.
We also acknowledge your comments about redecoration. Please contact me directly so we can discuss your dads experience and agree how we can improve things for him.

I have one complaint. My wife was admitted with a pair of spectacles and for months she wore them everyday. A few months ago I noticed she had not been wearing them for a while and asked 3 different carers (over a period of weeks) if they could find the spectacles and return them to my wife.
Nothing happened so I asked the senior carer if he could sort it out for me. I got a puzzled look and no action.
After a few weeks, and in desperation, I aired my concerns to one of the management staff and was informed the spectacles could not be located
and my wife would get a new eye test and new glasses would be provided (if required).
It has taken 4 or 5 months to get to this position and given that she is hard of hearing and unable to communicate she is isolated from the rest of the community and must be feeling quite isolated.
Thank you for your kind comments about our staff and the care your wife receives. We are sorry for the distress and frustration caused by her missing spectacles and the delay in resolving your concerns.
Staff have searched for the glasses. Unfortunately, they were not labelled with your wifes...
Thank you for your kind comments about our staff and the care your wife receives. We are sorry for the distress and frustration caused by her missing spectacles and the delay in resolving your concerns.
Staff have searched for the glasses. Unfortunately, they were not labelled with your wifes name, which has made identification more difficult. However, we recognise that your repeated requests should have been followed up and communicated to you more promptly.
We understand how important her glasses are, particularly given her hearing and communication difficulties, and acknowledge your concerns about the impact on her wellbeing and ability to engage with others.
As discussed with management, an eye test and replacement glasses, if required, will be arranged. We will keep you informed of progress and ensure any replacement spectacles are clearly labelled. Please contact me directly so we can follow this through together.
The daily activities each morning are very well organised. The residents are encouraged to join in. The staff have entertained the residents with their own culture days. All dressed in their national costumes. A very successful afternoon. The new day room is very big and airy and has air...
The staff I have dealt with are respectful and caring and on first name terms with the residents. The residents are all kept well, dressed and clothes changed and kept clean.
The interior of the building decor is tired in areas but kept clean.

My mother has been at Duncote Hall since last April, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care she has received from the dedicated staff. We are always promptly informed of any issues regarding her care. The staff are kind and respectful, and they treat my mother with dignity. She is the happiest she has been in a long time, and it gives us great peace of mind to know she is in safe hands.
Thanks Becky
The staff at Duncote hall are caring, kind, empathetic and professional. My mother only moved in late last year and to date the care she has received has been second to none. I had been caring for mum for 7 years in our family home and it was really hard to let others take over, however duncote...
Nothing is too much trouble they even got mum her favourite cereal in for her and remember that she really loves cheese and tomato sandwiches. All staff have shown the family such kindness too, we are welcomed by a smile and everyone always has time to chat not just about mums care but in getting to know us as relatives and people
Thank you doesnt seem enough
Thanks Becky

As soon as you go through the front door there is a welcome and a warmth within the home. I feel very happy that my mum is with Duncote, as I live 3 hours away, and I know she is being looked after and well cared for which puts my mind at ease. Thank you to all the staff for their hardwork and care.

Her room is on the ground floor so she is able to get around easily and it has a lovely view over the garden. Mum is happy and well cared for at Duncote which means so much to us as a family.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear that your mum has received the care and support she needs at Duncote Hall.

My mum is in a very difficult place and the care she has received at Duncote Hall has been exceptional. That she is still alive is down to the care she has received and the way the staff have treated her. I have always been welcomed and since she has deteriorated they have ensured that she is comfortable, clean, and fed and her pain is managed.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that your mum has received exceptional care at Duncote Hall. Ensuring her comfort and well-being, especially during difficult times, is our priority.
A huge thank you to all of the care and nursing staff who cared for my late uncle. You all provided the highest standards of care to him. I highly recommend the home personally. You are all truly wonderful and a big credit to the company.

My mum was welcomed into Duncote Hall at the end of October. Whilst it's only been a short while, I have to say, the level of care and support given to my mum has been first-class. The management has been supportive of the family, and the carers and nurses have been wonderful. The way the carers interact with my mum is a joy to see. The carers and nurses need to be aware of how wonderful they are. This has been such a comfort to the family at what has been a very stressful time. Our greatest thanks to all at Duncote Hall.
Kind regards.
The staff are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

My mother came to Duncote Hall suffering from dementia and also breast cancer. We knew her time was limited but didn't realise by how much. The care she received at the home was exemplary and she made friends and came back to life somewhat through different things that were going on during the daytime hours. Although Mum didn't want to eat anything, the staff were trying to coax her and we were grateful for every morsel she ate or sip of drink she took. She was comfortable in her last days and I would like to thank the whole team for their care and dedication.
We really value your kind feedback. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we are glad to be a part of your mum's journey to make it comfortable and enjoyable. I will pass your sentiments on to the team.
Kind Regards,
Rahi.

I cannot fault the care given to my mother during her stay with you at Duncote Hall Nursing & Residential Home. Mum was encouraged to join in the activities regularly. Mum was not the greatest eater and drinker but the staff encouraged her to try and eat and drink regularly. Her room was clean and tidy with a lovely view over the garden. Unfortunately, Mum passed away but the care during and after her passing was second to none. Thank you.

My wife had diabetes, breast cancer and vascular dementia. During her brief time in Duncote Hall, she was well cared for by all the staff. She was difficult to feed but the staff made every effort to feed her, one-to-one. The activity organiser made every effort to keep the residents happy i.e. games, colouring and sing-along. After my wife passed away, I can only praise the care and compassion shown by the staff towards my family and their professionalism was brilliant. My family intend to donate two benches for the remembrance garden as a measure of our thanks and gratitude to Duncote Hall staff.
Thanks, Becky.

The care he received from the manager, the nurses and carers was excellent. He was happy to be there and I can’t thank them enough for the fantastic care and help they gave both my father and me. Unfortunately he passed away in their care and even on the night he passed, the nurse and carers on duty that night where very sympathetic.
Thank you all again.
Kind Regards,
Rahi.
