My sister has been a resident in Ings House since October 2016. She settled straight away. Whenever I visit she appears very happy and well cared for. The staff are always lovely and we feel like part of the family. I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else.
Excellent standard of care. My mother always clean and tidy. Staff always in my presence are kind and show excellent care to my mother and residents nearby. Have no concerns at all at the standard of care. Thank you Ings House, it is very much appreciated.
The nursing staff were always kind and supportive of her wish to remain in bed. As the months progressed she required more assistance with personal care and feeding, her dignity was preserved at all times.
During April 2017, her condition deteriorated resulting in her having to have thickened fluids and pureed meals, within a short time she was unable to swallow, she also had a recurrent urine infection.
The staff acted quickly in gaining medical opinion and a week later she died peacefully, with her dignity and family around her.
During that week, we as a family were treated with kindness and sympathy and will never forget the care we as a family received.
Ings House is a very caring nursing home and has a homely environment. Staff are wonderful, friendly, kind, caring, helpful and always have the resident's wellbeing at heart. The staff should be proud of the job they do as should the management on how well the home is run.
My grandma has been a resident for the past two years, the staff have been brilliant and constant in providing her with the ability to feel safe and secure while maintaining her dignity at all times. They give her choice and respect her encouraging and guide her where possible. It has provided us as a family in piece of mind that he is safe, happy and contented in her final years.
Both my parents became residents of Ings House in 2013 after my father had a heart attack. I can say that my father and mother's care was superb. Sadly he passed away the same year, but my mother is still there, now in her nineties, she is well cared for, comfortable and happy. The staff really do take their time to look after them. I have no complaints and would be glad to become a resident myself when the time comes!. Not for a while yet I hope. My wife and I have come to know the staff well in the past three years and we are treated as friends, after looking at several care homes in this area, this one stands out as a proper home.
My parents went to Ings Home for a week respite care following surgery. The residence is spotless, the staff are attentive and attuned to the needs of their residents. The home has such a positive feeling, despite the seriousness of the care they provide.
I cannot find anything negative to say about the short time Ings House looked after my parents, only praise.
Thank you all for the care you give your residents, you set a benchmark which should be aspired to by all care homes.
The staff are very helpful and proficient, everyone is friendly.
'Ings House' is the most friendly and caring home I would want my mum to be in. You are made welcome whatever time of day you visit. The nurses/carers are all local ladies and have plenty of time for you!! My mum is well cared for in every aspect and is very happy and settled. I have total peace of mind while she is there.
Entirely satisfied with my aunts care.
Very good service. Mum is very happy and well cared for.
