Review from Jacqui W (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad spent the last 10 months of his life in Valley Wood. The staff were amazing and supported Dad in every way. We were always kept informed about all of Dad's health issues and ever-changing care needs. We couldn't have asked for better end-of-life care. Dad was treated with dignity and respect
and the staff not only cared for Dad they supported all the family. Thank you to the staff team at Valley Wood, you are amazing.

This home overall is spotlessly clean from the moment you walk into the dining rooms, lounges and bedroom very modern with lovely chairs and soft furnishings. The staff I have seen are very caring to the residents, and there seem to be lots of activities going on.
