Overall, in my opinion, I think the standard of care is excellent.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words. Best wishes, Fae.
Dad was well looked after from day number one. The room could do with an update though. Food was always hot and plentiful. The girls made him smile daily. Clothes always clean and ready for us. Overall we have no complaints regarding dads care, so from us all, we want to say a big thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback. The team will really appreciate it. Best wishes.
This home, when I visited it unannounced, is really lovely. No unpleasant smells, nice and fresh food and the kitchen lovely and clean. Staff are brilliant, very caring, friendly and accommodating. Managers are understanding and professional. The lounge is light-filled, very clean, loads of great activities. Bedrooms, homely. Fresh, clean, caring home.
Thank you for your kind words about our home and team and for your wonderful scores. Your feedback is much appreciated by our team. Best wishes, Fae.
The staff have been amazing in looking after my mother. They sacrifice themselves during this pandemic and I for one fully appreciate their dedication.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our team and home - they will really appreciate it, especially at this time. Best wishes, Fae.
All staff are friendly, polite and obviously care about the resident's welfare/wellbeing.
The home is very competently managed.
It is always clean and decor is exceptional.
Similar to many, I’m sure, initially Mum was adamant she did not want to be there.
But from day one she has said repeatedly how wonderful the staff are.
“They’re just great” is what she always says.
Everybody there has played a huge part in her becoming comfortable and more and more used to living there.
Thank you for your lovely comments, they will mean so much to the team who do their very best to make Willow Gardens a true home for all its residents. Kindest regards.
My grandmother is a resident at Willow Gardens. I would highly recommend this home, each and every member of staff are outstanding. She was treated with nothing but dignity and respect. There have been changes in the home recently and I found these were for the better. Thank you to the team at Willow Gardens.
Dear Lynn, thank you so much for your kind words. It is wonderful to hear how pleased you are with the care provided to your grandmother by our team. I will be sure to pass this on. Best wishes,
I have been extremely impressed with the way in which Willow Gardens took care of my grandad, the staff were extremely friendly and played a big part in helping him to settle in quickly and calm his nerves.
The facilities were excellent, I almost wanted to move in with him!
Dear Daniel, thank you so much for your kind words and fantastic scores. It is wonderful to hear how well your grandfather is settling in with us. Best wishes,
My grandfather is a resident is Willow Gardens and I cannot praise the care home highly enough. He's well looked after and the staff are wonderful. It seems to be well run and his room is really comfortable. The company running Willow Gardens seem to be quite big but this doesn't mean the place isn't homely. My grandad is really content there.
Dear Mark, thank you for your lovely review - it is much appreciated by our team. I will be sure to pass your kind words onto the manager and the team. Best wishes, Marketing officer
My uncle spent his final years at Willow Gardens, which was better for him and us, we would recommend Willow Gardens to friends and family.
Dear Hayley, thank you for taking the time to review Willow Gardens - your feedback is invaluable to us. Best wishes, Fae.
Lovely, caring environment. Supportive staff. Nothing is too much trouble. They go the extra here. Good food with personal choices. No hesitation in recommending.
Dear Dave, thank you so much for your kind words about our team and care provided at Willow Gardens. Your feedback really is invaluable to us. Best wishes, Fae
She was very happy there and it was very much her home. She felt safe and loved until the very end, she passed away in January 2018 aged 61.
Carers, nurses and all staff looked after her well. She was blind and so it was important to her to feel safe.
Staff were always kind and the manager was very approachable in every way.I cannot fault this care home and recommend it highly.
She would also be fed smaller more manageable portions.
She has also been transferred to a better room with more facilities. Personal hygiene matters were also discussed. A suitable Care Plan would be put in place which will involve more scrutiny of her medical conditions.
Monthly meetings have been introduced with relatives of residents to participate. It was agreed that a Fire Certificate would be displayed in a prominent position. I am now satisfied that under the new ownership Willow Gardens and View is now being run in a caring and professional manner. Most of the issues raised in my last review have now been resolved.
