I hope to go back and thank them all in person once the Covid situation has improved, but in the meantime, thanks so much, keep up the marvellous work, it is very much appreciated !!
The outstanding care and respect that Mum received over the years was evident during the days prior to her passing away.
Every member of staff at Four Seasons treated Mum with the utmost care, dignity and professionalism.
As a family, we were comforted and supported by a team who, as always, went above and beyond.
Our sincere and grateful thanks, always.
My Aunt has had vascular dementia and Alzheimers for 11 years and after spending several months in hospital, moved into the Four Seasons Care home. My Aunt receives good care and is treated with respect. She is settled and content in her new home. Family visits are welcomed and any concerns raised are addressed immediately.
Please carry on caring it means so much in this awful situation as families we are in.
The home manager is second to none. Very committed and attentive. Everybody rates her very highly. The manager made my Christmas and New Year as did the staff team.
My mother has been a resident at Autumn Berry for over 2 years. The care and understanding provided by the unit manager and the Autumn Berry team is without doubt incredible. Sadly my mother fell frequently in January due to a deterioration in her Alzheimer's, however, the attention, care and compassion provided by all relevant staff have been greatly appreciated by me, as my mum has been given the help and assistance needed. I live in Leicestershire, a long way from Bolton, but am fully confident with the care provided to my mum. Thanks to everyone involved with my mother's care and welfare. HC One - thanks for providing a magnificent care home - you need to be very proud of all your Four Seasons staff.
Thank you.
There's nothing I think they can do better. Everyone that has anything to do with Mum is brilliant.
The unit is usually cleaned to a good standard.
Any issues that may arise are addressed by the management upon approach.
Food is excellent.
Mum has been a resident here for nearly 6 years. She is well cared for. The staff are professional and discrete in dealing with all her needs. Her needs are always met even though they have changed dramatically over the 6 years.
I am very happy during my stay.
As a family we are extremely happy with the care mum receives at the Winter Unit, the staff are excellent in particular the unit manager. Perhaps more activities would be beneficial and increase stimulation for the residents.
Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Thank you for highlighting your concern with regards to more activities to increase stimulation for our Residents. This is very important and we are in the process of training four more staff...
In the 5 1/2 years my husband has been a resident here I have been really happy with his care. The staff that are based on the unit where my husband resides are so friendly and caring, they also look out for me and take care of my welfare as well. Not only the staff on the unit but activities, laundry, kitchen and, not forgetting management, all make us feel welcome at the home.
I know this home has had some bad write ups but my mum is happy here, so if she's happy we are. The staff are very good if I have a grievance I speak to the staff and it gets resolved. On the whole, I have no complaints.
Thank you for your review; we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are very pleased to hear that your Mother is happy at Four Seasons and that any issues you raise are addressed by the staff and management of the home. We continually strive to improve the service provided for the benefit of all our Residents at the Home.
When my husband was in another home it was hard for me seeing day today running and the location of the home wasn't suitable. My husband and our son and family are very satisfied and it's a pleasure to come visiting.
I am very happy here.
Everyone has been wonderful could not ask for anything more.
The staff are so caring and helpful not only to my husband but myself. They keep the residents so happy. Everything is so clean. The entertainment is good. The rooms always clean and the beds are changed every day.
Some residents went out to the cinema, and the buzz of them returning was absolutely fantastic, the activities they do is amazing.
Her room was lovely and spacious and modern. Mum loved the activities.
On Christmas day, I was invited to have my Christmas dinner with mum as they realised how important being with mum was. When mum neared the end of her life, the care was exceptional, regular pressure area care, palliative medicine when needed with no delay. I stayed with mum for the duration and their care for me as a family member was wonderful. Mum died peacefully with dignity and that is because of the loving care demonstrated by all at Four Seasons Care Home. Thank you.
