The stay at Bright Meadows Care Home, Dementia Nursing Winter Ward was far shorter than we would have liked but we received comfort from the care given.
The understanding and acceptance of Mum’s advanced dementia from the first meeting with the clinical deputy manager was such a relief and comfort.
Every member of the team we encountered made Mum's nursing personal. She was tended to beautifully and was made so comfortable.
The room was beautifully painted and dressed for Mum's arrival. The welcome and introductions were made from walking through the doors.
Entrusting someone with the care of a loved one is difficult but the whole family have agreed that this was the perfect place for Mum.
Thank you to each and every person on Winter Wing. Exceptional!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience at what must be a very difficult time for you all. It will mean a lot to the team to be able to read your words and know just what a positive impact they have had not only with your mum but also her wider family. It's also very reassuring to new care seekers so thank you very much. With best wishes, Honor.
I could no longer cope with looking after my wife, and for the last 12 months, she has been looked after better than I could.

Thank you for leaving your review. Looking after a loved one at home is so hard. Our teams are trained to deliver great care but I'm sure you absolutely did the best you could for your wife, with best wishes.
I and my family are very happy with the service Mum is receiving.

What a great review, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. With best wishes, Managing Director
My husband is receiving good care from all the staff. He doesn't always like it but it needs to be done. Just lately he has started to say he wishes he could come home but that's not possible.

Thank you for sharing such an honest review. It can be very challenging when loved ones struggle with living away from home but the great care the team deliver makes it easier for everyone. With best wishes, Managing Director
The home is very well run and the staff are extremely polite, professional and helpful. Every effort is made to keep the residents entertained and looked after.

Wow - what a great review. It's great for the team to read what a difference they make. With best wishes, Managing Director
The home itself is kept very clean. The staff appear well trained and have asked me about my mum (with certain ways she behaves etc), and have listened and acted on advice or what I have said. They have all treated her with respect and dignity.

I have spoken to the home manager about your mum's clothes and we will look to resolve this. I apologise the laundry service hasn't been as we would expect.
It's great to see that you have rated us at four or five stars in all categories - thank you!

My partner was content at Bright Meadows. The staff and reception are lovely and helpful. Thank you very much.

Mum has been in care for over five years now, under two administrations. Generally speaking, the level of care has remained constantly satisfactory. The turnover of staff is a concern as it always has been with, inevitably, a mix of very good to only average levels of competence and empathy. I...
One thing that is a major concern to me is Mum's general comfort. I find she feels cold sometimes when I visit, especially her feet, legs and arms. I have bought many pairs of socks and slippers and throws over the years but Mum is frequently found without one or the other which is frustrating. I label most items.
It is frustrating for me to think of Mum being cold and upsetting knowing Mum is unable to communicate with staff.
I'm sorry to read of your concerns and will speak with the home manager to address these.
With best wishes.
Getting better - nearly there.

Absolutely disgusting, bad care, extremely bad management, rude no compassion. The home wants shutting down. They say care home, they don't know the meaning of it. Ignored medical needs, not qualified to care basic.
