Review from Jeffrey B (Husband of Resident) published on 30 August 2016 Submitted via Review 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 Review 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.

I love visiting this home, everyone seems so happy and friendly. I visited this Sunday, there was an entertainer on, my great grandma really enjoyed it and the glass of wine...

The home has really improved recently.

The care my wife receives is relevant to her needs. Most staff are able to recognise her needs. Personal hygiene good but could be improved on. Her room and surroundings are kept nice.

Review from Janet M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2016 Submitted via Review Postal Card
Overall Experience

Satisfactory on the whole. Tops of ointment tubes often left off. Mum is on pureed food which never seems appetising. The health worker who reviewed her swallowing suggested mashed banana and ready brek to the kitchen but this has not been followed up. Drinks thickened too much at times.

Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Bright Meadows Care Home
Thank you for your comments.
We can confirm that we have looked into the issues that have been raised.

We are sorry that tops have been found open on tubes of cream. A new system has been put into place to ensure that creams and ointments are stored away from resident bedrooms in a treatment...

Review from Victoria G (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum has recently moved from Autumn to Spring, she has been a resident for 3 years.

Mum is extremely happy on this unit it is nicely decorated with lots of little touches that help when you have dementia i.e different coloured doors, memory boxes, black and white photos and past years memorabilia that the elderly can relate to. The lounge and dinning room areas are bright and inviting, mums room is bright she has her own en-suite and we have personalised her room with her photos soft furnishing etc.

The staff are cheerful and very accommodating the senior in charge is lovely and is very passionate about the job she does and she cares very much about the residents.

The entertainment is good with various events taking place mum in particular enjoys the singers who entertain with music from days gone bye and a dance the entertainment staff are enthusiastic and encourage residents to join in.

I do hope that the management resolve its current problems restoring the homes reputation.

Review from E S (Wife of Resident) published on 26 January 2016 Submitted via Review Postal Card
Overall Experience

The carers are extremely kind and try to help the residents to be content and happy. They (the carers) are always pleasant and cheerful and willing to go "that extra step" to support the relatives as well as the residents. The management have an "opendoor" policy so if someone does have a problem they can be seen to as soon as possible.

Review from Freda K (Wife of Resident) published on 5 January 2016 Submitted via Review Postal Card
Overall Experience

I feel the home on the whole has improved, but have issues with the agency nurses on evenings. I've just had a bad incident concerning my husband. The nurse on duty could not change his belly bag. I find that very disturbing. This is not the first time this has happened to my husband, having to go to hospital about the same thing.

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

We take on board the comments on this review. We do currently use agency staff alongside our own staff. We are actively recruiting into vacant posts however in the interim we must maintain safe staffing levels with the use of agency. This concern has been addressed formally through our complaints policy and the relevant Agency made aware of the incident formally.

Review from Paul D (Son of Resident) published on 21 December 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I flew from the Isle of Man to visit my father, nobody knew me or that I was coming, the staff were informative friendly, helpful and they cared. The home smelt nice, is clean, have activity's they had a live singer at night, during their Christmas event, it had an overall feeling of happiness.

I am pleased that my Father is being cared for at Four Seasons, he was previously at another home, and this is twice the place, for quite a few reasons, is a very pleasant home.
