Review from D C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We could not have anticipated the extent of love, care and attention extended to Mum in her last days.
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!

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Bright Meadows Care Home

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.

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Bright Meadows Care Home

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.

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 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.

Review from Carol B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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 realise this is the picture nationally in the care sector.
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.

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.

My husband has been in Bright Meadows Care Home for two years and the care he receives is excellent. The staff are caring and treat him with respect. It is a safe and happy place to be. Any questions I have are answered truthfully and if anything needs to be changed, it is done quickly and efficiently. Would recommend.

My father in law came to stay in Four Seasons Care Home in April 2022. The staff are absolutely amazing, they are passionate about the residents. Every time I ring whoever answers knows who I am talking about and give a clear concise account of how he is. I have seen the staff interact with him and it touched me so much as he is like a relative to them, The staff are. For them, it's more than a job, it's a vocation. Thank you all you are amazing.

I find that the care home is very good and sees to my husband's needs adequately. The staff are polite and very helpful indeed. If I have any queries, members of staff answer them thoughtfully and with care. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My husband has settled and is well cared for - with excellent meals.

As always, the staff welcome you to the home with smiles and updates on the home and my husband. If I request anything in relation to my husband, the staff will give me the information straight away, or they will get the data within 24 hours of my request. It is always nice to get telephone calls with his progress and I feel I can be honest with my opinions to the staff.

Review from Alison A (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff members have been extremely supportive and caring and patient with my Dad especially as he is increasingly suffering from dementia. I think communication could be improved i.e using email and group texts to keep up to do with developments during COVID. (This would save the staff time in having to answer phone calls). Greater provision of evening visits would be welcomed as it's difficult to arrange when working.
