Since visiting our friend we have found all the staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. The home is clean and the meals are very good.
Adeline House is spotless, with a very first impression, very, very clean. All the staff seem lovely, very friendly, caring and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.
I do not have any problems with my sister's care. They keep me updated with anything and can always answer any questions I may have.
My sister spent the last year of her life here suffering from advanced Parkinson's and dementia. The care she received was outstanding. The home is clean and organised though very busy. The staff at all levels were kind and patient with her sometimes difficult and unpredictable behaviour. I was moved by the love and tenderness that I witnessed and, although it was sad to watch her decline, I knew that she couldn't have been in a better place. I would recommend Adeline House without hesitation.
The staff are always helpful and polite. They work tirelessly to provide care and the needs of all their service users. The meals are very substantial and every care is given for people with allergies. Adeline House Care Home is kept clean and fresh every day.
My wife recently spent a week in Respite Care. I found the facilities and staff to be very good. The staff displayed a very caring and professional attitude and had obviously got to know my wife during her stay. I phoned daily and I was pleased that on every occasion I was able to be told how my wife had been since last phoning, never put on hold while the information was sought from another. So in short I would use Adeline House again without hesitation.
Adeline House staff has cared for my mum for 2 years with love, respect and kindness. Myself and family are extremely grateful to you all for the past care and future care ahead. At present we are all facing the most frightening time of our lives and yet all of you at Adeline House are placing your own lives at risk to care for not only my mum but the loved ones of so many families. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so selfless and so caring. Myself and family hope that you all stay safe and well. Take care. God bless. Sent with much love.
Thank you for your kind words. We are keeping safe and well! Hopefully we should have a video message from mum for you soon.. Keep watching our facebook page for updates. Much love from us all at Adeline stay well!
She enjoyed joining in the activities and I understand there was a pantomime and a Christmas party. I am so pleased that the staff involved Mother in their social activities. When she came home she looked bright and happy and had regained some of her 'sparkle'.
I shall certainly be looking to Adeline House for respite care for Mother in the future knowing she will be safe and happy-making friends.
Service, support and information provided to him and family was fantastic.
I would highly recommend this facility. It is a very warm and friendly place. All the care staff were outstanding and took very good care of my mum, not just physical care but gave emotional support, love and hugs. Daily activities meant my mum mixed with other people and had fun and enjoyment. The home is very clean and welcoming.
She had some weird dietary wants and the kitchen catered to her every whim.
I know she wasn't the easiest of people at times, but the staff were nothing but kind and patient with her.
She had reservations initially, being only 40, but she need not have worried, for one thing, she adored many of the older residents, but the staff virtually made her feel like one of their own.
Everyone was also so kind and supportive to myself, they always find time to have a chat if it was needed.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Adeline House to anyone, my daughter being there made her last few weeks bearable, and they have still offered me support after her death.
Could not be any better.
They have entertainment and trips out.
They deserve all the credit. They helped so much in such a short space of time and each team member is valued and they all need thanking. Such a warm, welcoming family home. Thank you for all the support.
My Dad came to Adeline House for respite care. He was there for just one week and our family decided to move him to another care home as we were not satisfied that he received the relevant care for his dementia. in my opinion, he was not given any stimulation and his physical and mental health & well being worsened as a result of the environment he was in.
We are very sorry to hear that you felt this way about your fathers stay at the home. Unfortunately you did not discuss your concerns with the home, should you wish to discuss his care further we would be happy to review his care with you.
This home really is home. The staff are like extended family and make everyone welcome. From the cleaners to the management, everyone plays their part and goes out of their way to make sure you get the respect and dignity you deserve.
My relative has been in Adeline House since August 2017. During this time the staff have assisted her with doctors, hospital, dentist and optician appointments. I have always found the staff and management extremely helpful and am very grateful that my cousin is in a safe and friendly environment, being looked after and cared for.
Not an easy lady to care for. Gentleness and patience was their key. If she wanted to wander about at night, tea and food would be provided.
Following several toilet accidents, I remarked to staff members cleaning and re-dressing her that they had quite a job on their hands. The reply was that it wasn't a problem, there was only a problem if clients were not able to go.
Staff were alert to whether clients were just tired or actually unwell, calling a GP or an ambulance as appropriate, and keeping relatives well informed.
Her weight increased from 4.5 stones to just over 5 during her stay there. Although skin and bone, her lack of developing bed sores was purely down to the care and attention of all staff. They all seem to work as one team.
From the moment my mother-in-law was placed in care at Adeline House in Thorne her care needs were dealt with in every possible way. With love, kindness and compassion from the manager, nurses and carers. Each and every one cared for her in their own way but at all times dignity and respect, nothing was to much bother and the caring attitude was superb. I would recommend this care home to everyone should the need arise. Many thanks to each and every one at Adeline House. God Bless.
My mother has lived at Adeline House for a number of years and has, to my relief, always been content there. The facilities have generally been good with certain exceptions, such as poor recovery of laundry and lack of a professional chef, but since the appointment of the new manager, the day to day running of the home has improved immeasurably. The home is clean, without odour. The food is much improved. The home appears full of love and happiness. My mother is happy and content, therefore, I am happy and content. Thank you for that appointment!
The staff are caring and helpful can't say enough to praise the work they do. The manager is always willing to talk to you. The food looks to be good and wholesome. The facilities are clean. Some of the nurses are a little brusk but efficient. Overall it is the care staff that make this home a home with care.
