Mum has been attending Christine Bates Day Centre since December 2023 and she loves it. She initially started with one day a week and has currently increased to two days. The staff are great very warm and friendly. They really care, not just about the people attending the centre but also about the relatives, it really is like being part of an extended family. The activities are always at the level of all attending the sessions. Keep up the good work and thank you, everyone.

I moved my aunt from another care home to Wren Hall. The staff at Wren were all very helpful throughout and my aunt settled in very quickly, something I didn't expect as her dementia can make her unsettled in unfamiliar surroundings. I have been impressed with the amount of staff available for the...

Mum's behaviour at times has been challenging. Noticed that the staff handle these situations professionally.
Appreciate the home helping Mum get the continuing assessment to help with Mum's cost for care. I was included in the assessment.
Impressed that I can access Mum's care notes online. Feel this is transparent information Wren has made available.
Feel included in activities i.e bonfire night. Me and my family were impressed with the fireworks display and lovely food. Lovely to be able to celebrate with Mum with the support of the carers.
Carers have made a special effort in finding ways to help Mum feel calm. A life-like doll with a pushchair has been provided which has made Mum more contented.
Mum loves to wander. Carers make every effort to allow this.
Big thank you to you all.

My husband was diagnosed with young-onset dementia, finding the right nursing home for him was extremely important to me. The first time that I visited Wren Hall, it was to look around the Christine Bates Day Centre. I immediately knew this was the right place for my husband. It is clean, bright and full of activities to enrich the lives of the people living there. My husband went on to use the respite facilities, I could rest at ease knowing that the staff would treat him with compassion, kindness and as an individual. Now he is a resident at Wren Hall, the transition was smooth and done with understanding and care. I feel very welcome when I visit. The garden is amazing and full of things to enhance people's experiences, including a play area for children, animals and various buildings; an ice cream parlour, a chapel, a pub and beach huts! I feel so happy that I found Wren Hall and would recommend it to anyone living with dementia.
Thank you for trusting your husband in our care.
My wife is cared for at Wren Hall. She is cared for on a daycare basis and has also been residential on respite. My wife has always been happy and contented during her attendance. We considered at all times that she is safe and well cared for.

Wren Hall made the transition from my parent's first care home to Wren Hall very easy. My parents have been treated with respect, kindness and compassion since their arrival. My mum likes to be busy and is provided with opportunities to take part in activities on an almost daily basis. I am unable to visit as often as I'd like, but the relative's portal means I can access what they are doing daily. The staff are always available to answer any queries or concerns I might have. I am extremely happy with their care.
We are extremely grateful for you choosing Wren Hall as your parents' home. It is extremely important to me that team Wren Hall is caring, kind, respectful and compassionate, so it is reassuring that this is your experience.
Thank you for all your support in helping us make Wren Hall 'home' for your parents.

Our experience with Wren Hall Nursing Home is brilliant. They really care for each individual in Woodnock with dignity well-being and such love for everyone. Dealing with a room of staff I find them to be so caring and helpful no problem was too small. On the management side when my dad was at the end of life nothing but care and love from everyone.
Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure to care for dad and I am pleased to hear your experience at Wren Hall was a positive one. We will endeavour to improve on the areas in which you have given 4 stars. Thank you.
There is always a good ratio of staff to residents in the different lounges and they are always interactive.
I have peace of mind that she is happy and safe and I am kept immediately up to date with any change or concern they may have.

My mum came into Wren Hall in August on a 12-week fast track end-of-life care. Two days later she was out of bed, showered and in the salon having her hair done. The care and love afforded to her is amazing. She has gained weight, eats all sorts of food, enjoys different activities and really enjoys her life here.
Thank you for taking the time to review our care and support. I am delighted that team Wren Hall has given your Mum a sense of purpose and self-worth despite her diagnosis. Thank you for choosing Wren Hall as a home for your Mum.

Mammar has become more sociable and engaging in numerous activities. She's made some special connections with staff and family members (residents) which puts a smile on her face.
I can't thank team Wren for everything they have done.
Thank you for taking the time to review Wren Hall and for trusting your Mammar into our care.
Nanna has transformed since moving into Wren Hall. The staff are so loving and caring towards her, and she has renewed interest in her appearance and life in general. She was really depressed and lonely at home - but no more! Thank you, Wren Hall.

Our brother was previously a resident at Wren years ago and after visiting him here she expressed the wish that if she ever needed to move into a care home this would be her choice.
We believe it is a real honour to support your sister.

I would give 5 stars but feel that the communication from the head office could be better. This is becoming less important as we are allowed back into the home (only very recently have restrictions eased) but during Covid was a source of constant frustration where we very much felt out of the loop.
That said, it was a comfort to know he was in safe hands during a time when we were unable to see/speak to him.

Thank you for reviewing Wren Hall. We note your comment re communication. There is no head office. We have some admin staff who like myself were working covering care and nursing staff who were isolating having tested positive. We did not have spare staff to keep updating relatives so I added my personal mobile number to all correspondence and invited relatives to contact me at any time. I am sorry this did not work for you.Thank you for trusting your Dad into our care - we feel privileged to be trusted in this way.
Thank you

Wren Hall gives absolutely first-class care for my wife and other residents. Outside and inside entertainment. Whenever there's a problem they call to say what happened, their service is fantastic. Thank you.
