Overall Experience

The carers are always helpful and friendly, the interiors are always immaculately clean & tidy, the meals are varied and balanced, and there are lovely garden areas for residents and their visitors to enjoy sitting in during warmer weather.

Review from Duggie M (Friend of Resident) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have visited a very close friend who is currently a resident twice in the last two weeks. I am very impressed with the home itself, its cleanliness, staff numbers and their friendly and caring approach to their patients. It must be gratifying for the patient and their families to know they are being

given the best of care.

Review from Isabella B (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The care given to my dad by the manager and her team was outstanding. So professional and still able to give that wonderful human touch, despite the COVID situation. The staff’s kindness and love will never be forgotten. Being far away and unable to see my father, every effort was made to let me FaceTime

him and communicate. The rehabilitation was awesome too, he absolutely loved it. I highly recommend Turn Furlong on every level, it was a world-class experience.

Reply from Tracey Wright, Registered Manager at Turn Furlong Specialist Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words. Wishing yourself and your family all the very best for the future.

Review from Carol B (Respite Resident) published on 25 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Did not enjoy my time there. Being in isolation did not help but did not like the way I was spoken at times like I am busy, get on with it. Also, a patient next door crying told to shut up and wait. Why you on the phone all the time? Moaning at me because I wanted to go to the toilet too much, lost

my shampoo for my hair in the shower. Would not plug my phone in to charge as fed up with it ringing. Was told I do not know why you are in here, this is for rehab people?. I may have had a stroke but my brain functions well. I was a carer for 30 years and know how you should be treated. Also, there were problems about what medication I was to have, only prescribed stuff.

Reply from Service Manager at Turn Furlong Specialist Care Centre

We at TurnFurlong are very sorry to hear that you had a negative experience during your respite stay. As we support all the Covid cohort community in the specialist care centre discussions are always had with people seeking respite prior to admission. As you can understand this is to maintain safety for the service users and staff and understand how difficult it is for family members who do not visit. Our aim is to provide the best person-centred care for those we support. With legal guidelines with medication management that I am sure you would understand we are unable to dispense medications that are not within our homely medications or that have not been prescribed.
Following my investigation into your points raised, I am unable to provide an answer to the person crying as described as the rooms adjacent were vacant at the time.
We are sorry to hear about your experience. We are more than happy to discuss further with you and should you wish, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

Review from Peter S (Son of Resident) published on 6 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum was here for a couple of weeks after being on HDU in the general hospital and after a stay on Cedar Ward the team here got her confidence back, physio was there most days and from cleaner to the big boss staff were great. Any questions or worries we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently, even

calling Mum at home once she had left to check on her. Greatest thanks and respect to you all!

Overall Experience

Grateful thanks for the care attention given to my wife during her elongated stay.
Words alone cannot convey the comfort given to myself and family knowing that she was happy, comfortable and well cared for during my enforced absence.
My apologies for discolouring the car park via my accident and

also so many thanks to all the staff who rushed to my assistance and support.
Overall a very gratifying experience and I wish health, happiness and success to all concerned.

Review from Victoria A (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was admitted for respite care in May 2019. We were very pleased with the care she received for the three months that she was at Turn Furlong.
The staff on Robin (dementia) unit were amazing! The warmth, compassion, humour, professionalism and friendship they demonstrated towards my mother

made us, and her, feel totally at ease throughout her stay. All areas of Turn Furlong are clean and well maintained, the food is plentiful and fresh and staff try their best to engage residents in activities. I would not hesitate to recommend Turn Furlong to others based on our experiences.

Overall Experience

I would like to thank all members of staff who helped look after my auntie in the last weeks of her life. I know she wasn't always easy but she felt quite comfortable with you all which made it a lot easier for the family. Thank you for your care.

Review from Claire C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 11 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am so disgusted how my 92-year-old nan was treated and the lack of help she had while in here. She started to deteriorate rapidly. All she needed was some physio and help to build her confidence up from breaking her hip. Your staff hardly spoke to her and she was just left in her chair pretty much

all day, without any exercise or conversation with anybody. Never would I recommend this place to any family or friends to go to!

Review from Joyce E (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been in Turn Furlong several times over the last few years and each time has met with very professional care, kindness and respect. Not only are they good with their clients, but also to the relatives at an extremely stressful time. I cannot praise this care home enough.
