My Mum is well cared for at The Willows Care Home. Her dementia and all her needs are cared for by all the lovely staff. The Manager, admin, carers, cook, cleaners, and activities staff are all amazing, very helpful and caring. If there's a problem, I'm informed of it straight away. The home is spotless. They have regular Relatives meetings and we can discuss anything and can get to meet other families. The food is lovely. They have entertainment on regularly and make sure everyone is happy and content. They dress up and make sure we all have fun. They have a hairdresser who's there frequently too. No complaints. Family are happy with her care. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.

My Dad has been a resident at The Willows Care Home for over 3 years and I can honestly say, as a family, we couldn't have asked for better. From the managers to the cleaners, everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The home is always immaculate and the care they give to our Dad is outstanding. The staff genuinely care for the residents and treat our Dad like he is their own. We have never had any concerns about the welfare of our Dad and going from being his main carers, to his children again, has been life-changing.
Thank you Nicola for your kind words and taking the time to complete a review. I will share this review with my team. It's nice to hear that you and your family are happy with the care we provide. It's a pleasure to look after your dad and you are right he is like our own.
The staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. From walking in the door they are very pleasant. Dad is bedridden, they look after him very well and have serviced his needs. The nursing staff explain everything to us and even phone us when necessary. The home is clean and Dad is kept clean and tidy.

Generally a very good experience. Our experience of facilities at the home is limited as we only get to see a small number of rooms during visits. Access to management is good and response times are prompt and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

As you can see, I give The Willows 5 stars all the way through because they have looked after my father from day one with round-the-clock care.
Thank you for your kind words. We do have a good team at The Willows and staff will go above and beyond to ensure all our service users are happy.
The manager, her assistant and all the staff are exceedingly pleasant and helpful. My wife, who is in nursing care, always tells me the staff and even the cleaners are caring and helpful. My wife is 90 per cent better since entering The Willows from hospital.

Soniya is the Registered Manager at The Willows and has been part of the organisation since 2009. With a background in nursing and many years of experience in care and leadership, Soniya brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion and dedication to her role.
Having worked in a variety of clinical and leadership positions during her time at Unity Homes, Soniya has developed a deep understanding of the people we support and what it means to create a truly caring home. She believes that good care starts with getting to know each person — listening to their wishes, understanding what is important to them and making sure they feel respected, valued and supported.
Soniya’s nursing background is an important part of her approach. After qualifying as a nurse, she moved to the UK to continue her career in health and social care. Her clinical experience helps her to understand the individual needs of residents and supports her commitment to ensuring care is always safe, compassionate and responsive.
Soniya has also completed the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, helping her to further develop her skills in supporting teams, maintaining high standards and continually improving the service.
For Soniya, one of the most rewarding parts of her role is building relationships with residents, their families and the team. She takes pride in creating a home where people feel comfortable, listened to and able to be themselves. She also believes strongly in supporting her colleagues, recognising that a happy and valued team plays an important part in creating a positive home for residents.
Soniya is proud to be part of the Unity Homes community and is passionate about making a positive difference every day. Her aim is simple: to create a warm, welcoming and supportive home where residents can enjoy the best possible quality of life and where everyone feels that they truly belong.
