Generally, my experience here is fairly satisfactory. The staff are caring and helpful and usually polite.
Overall very happy. Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating, public rooms cosy and inviting. Foodwise not always to my mother's taste personally plus waiting time for bathroom assistance but that's down purely to staff availability. Everywhere needs more staff! They provide good entertainment and celebrate lots of events and birthdays for residents and do a good job. I would recommend Acorn Hollow.
Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We greatly appreciate your kind comments regarding our staff at Acorn Hollow. We are sorry the food is not to your mothers's taste; you may be aware we offer an alternative snack menu but also...
The medical care from the on-site nursing staff was professional, kind and reassuring. Staff providing personal care were cheerful and understanding.
The quality of accommodation and catering was of a high standard.
Administration and management staff were excellent in dealing with other agencies to transfer Mum to Acorn Hollow without delay.
Different activities were available for residents and whilst my mum enjoyed visits from pet therapy groups, I am sorry her health was not better as she would have enjoyed the other events and activities on offer.
Whilst we may not like to think about our loved ones passing away, the staff provided comfort, a peaceful setting and dignity to my mum and her family.
All the staff are very friendly, and when they are asked to correct or change anything, this is done quickly and efficiently.
I have had the experience with care homes in the past, and this is definitely the friendliest home so far.
My dad is not the easiest person to deal with, but they have managed his care exceptionally well. The team at Acorn Hollow are amazing.
The staff are wonderful, very helpful in all aspects. Quality of some meals needs improvement, current lack of variety and quality. Cleanliness is good. Social arrangements to suit all.
Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We work on a seasonal menu which runs in a six week cycle. This is changed biannually for a spring/summer and an autumn/winter menu. The menu has two main choices and a vegetarian option for...
Very good.
Mum had to move to Acorn Hollow as the previous care home she was in wouldn't accept local authority funding and it was a blessing in disguise as Acorn Hollow is an extremely good care home. It is well run and the carers seem to genuinely care. The facilities and activities are excellent and I feel Mum is in the best possible place she could be for the help and care she needs.
My father is receiving excellent care and staff are very patient and we as a family are being warmly welcomed.
Not given excellent as I was brought up to believe there is always room for improvement.
I start with first-class care, from managers, nursing/care staff, cleaners, office staff, caretaker and catering staff, what a team. The staff are professional, committed and provided outstanding care. During this difficult time, we were touched by the kindness and loving care we all received. I cannot praise them all enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and a massive thank you from my mum.
First visit to see a friend, welcoming, friendly and sociable staff. The rooms are airy and bright. Lovely setting and you wouldn't think you were in a nursing home.
Client/family requesting:-
Menu choices are told to the client the day before and staff tick the level box, the client has difficulty chewing. This prevents waste, time, and the client's frustration of continually letting staff know that the food they bring is insufficient.
Some staff aware of the client's limitations with chewing and bring or ask for alternative food options. (Thank you!)
Client/family aware how tirelessly the staff work and are appreciative/thankful.
Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Due to restrictions, it has been challenging to arrange dental appointments however this has now been resolved. Please be assured residents are offered baths and showers as and when they wish....
Found the home to be clean, friendly and staff always willing to go the extra mile. Management are helpful and the door is always open for chats. Good activities and menu provided.
This home is incredible. The staff are attentive and show genuine care. Clean and organised. Good level of entertainment for the residents. Beautiful outdoor area with a garden. I have worked in a lot of care homes and this is one of the very best I have been to.
Daughter very well cared for, home always looks clean and tidy. Provided activities and entertainment for residents. Prior to the pandemic were also able to arrange some trips out. I think she has been very well looked after in her time here.
My Grandad really enjoyed his experience/stay at Acorn Hollow. The staff were brilliant with him. He came out of his shell and started to play drafts again.
A family-run home, excellent and welcoming staff, all good, no excellent at their job.
My mum has been a very happy resident with you for a few years. She is very well looked after and very well taken care of, she loves having her hair done and enjoys all the activities on offer. All your staff are lovely and my mum loves all who care for her. She enjoys having her coffee in an afternoon. My mum is one happy resident.
I enjoy socialising and joining in with events in the home.
Staff helpful, kind, considerate.
