Review from Rey G (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 14 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having visited today 13th Nov 2017 as a representative for a resident I feel impelled to say how fantastic I found this home, the staff and the Home Manager. The home is always clean and tidy, the staff always polite and welcoming. There is always something going on, some activity or other every time I have visited in the past. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone.

I came to visit my uncle yesterday, and could not believe the difference in him from a few weeks ago in hospital, he was looking well, and said how happy he was. All the staff were very helpful as were the ladies in the offices and the manager.

Review from Jonathon S (Great-grandson of Resident) published on 30 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I visited my great granddad (Papa) recently at this care home on a special unit for people who have just come out of the hospital. My Papa was very worried about going to this home, you just think of these places with dread. The staff could not have made any of my family feel more welcome. The food was fantastic, and he even enjoyed a person coming in singing to everyone. It is likely that he is going to need to go in a home in the future, and this place has now alleviated the fears as a family we had. If we need to look at a home in the future this is one we would consider, and would highly recommend to our friends. Thank you, everyone, for the good care you gave Papa.

I visited my friend today on Summer unit, how lovely, the manager greeted me with a lovely smile, I then went up to the floor and all the staff were very friendly, my friend told me how much she likes the home, and in particular a young care staff member, her room is lovely, and is always clean and tidy every time I visit, and all the staff, there is always lots of things for her to do. What a lovely place.

I was very happy with the care given to my husband for the just over 3 years he was there until his death in December. The staff were excellent with him and the food, entertainment and especially the care were very good.

Overall Experience

I go every day to see my husband. Staff are welcoming and any concerns are dealt with by staff or management. My husband is well cared for and is engaged in activities most days. I am welcome to join in with anything. It is hard leaving him at the end of the afternoon but I know he is in good hands.

Review from Jack R (Husband of Resident) published on 24 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Due to difficulties in recruiting permanent staff during 2014-2015, 15 agency staff were used and a dip in standards ensued. However, a new manager was appointed and together with the appointment of new permanent staff Four Seasons has been brought back to its original excellent standards.

Review from David T (Son of Resident) published on 20 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I've been very happy with the care my mother has received in the home since last November. The only issue I have is the loss of clothes. Not only have the staff been very caring with my mum they have interacted with me and kept me up to date with everything regarding her health, giving me encouragement when my mum was quite poorly.

Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Bright Meadows Care Home

Thank you for your review. We take all concerns very seriously and apologise that some clothing has been lost. We have been trialling a new tagging system for labelling Resident's clothes which has proved effective, however, it is very time-consuming. We do ask that relatives help their loved ones,...

Satisfied with the home and staff, give good overall care. However, I would like to see more encouragement and motivation to walk unaided by a wheelchair.

Overall Experience

On visiting Auntie, I could not believe the difference. She was dancing and singing. I have never seen her like this before. She was always introverted and the thought of getting up to dance anywhere brought on traumas. She is so different to this time last year when we thought we were looking for her end of life care.

Review from Jeffrey B (Husband of Resident) published on 30 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident in The Winter unit of over six years and nine months. During the early years, Four Seasons was part of another care home group, which collapsed financially with very serious consequences. After HC-One took over the home improved steadily, with much better facilities, and in a more stable condition. HC-One established a new management team at the beginning of this year, and under the new home manager, every aspect of the home has been assessed and a plan to further improve the homes standards has been actioned. Some of the carers problems are of long standing but the bad apples are gradually being dismissed, and some first class, new staff have been recruited.

Review from Susan J (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother is well cared for and if she has a medical problem nursing staff are quite capable of dealing with it. If not, there is no hesitation and a GP is called to visit her. Food is very good with a choice every day. There is ample entertainment although she will not always join in with it which is a pity. She needs a push but maybe she is not pushed enough. Overall, this is a good home and I feel confident she is being looked after.
