The whole team were tremendous in the care they provided to Mum. she could be a little cantankerous at times, but the staff made great effort to get to know her foibles.

My dad looks perkier than he has in a long time. The home is lovely, clean, great food etc which is important but it's the people that make it. They all deserve a huge thank you from the head office.

I cannot praise this nursing home highly enough. They looked after my mum in law during her final weeks of life, and the dedication, sensitivity, kindness and care received was exceptional. She required full palliative care and at times it became quite distressing for myself and the rest of our family, but again, ALL the staff looked after us sensitively and patiently, accommodating us overnight towards the end and showing us enormous compassion and understanding during Mum in law's final hours.
They are an exceptional team of professionals who work tirelessly to provide a happy, fun and safe living environment for all their elderly residents and regularly go over and above board to make Mount Vale 'homely'. We spent the last six days of Mum in law's life staying with her 24/7 and witnessed ALL staff, from housekeeping ladies to catering staff to nursing team, showing nothing but respect, care and patience to the elderly people residing there. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our home and for your generous comments. It means so much to receive such praise and I will pass on your kind words to the care team.

As I am not a "fly in the wall" I can't say how the 24hour is but as she is always clean, tidy and well fed. I assume this is all good and I'm sure my sister would let me know if it was otherwise.
A fairly new resident with complex physical and emotional needs who has been very warmly welcomed by all staff who are extremely friendly and compassionate. Very impressive all-round care.

The care and compassion that I saw given to my friend and that her family and I received from every single member of staff we came into contact with, was 2nd to nothing. My friend told us that she was made to feel very welcome and cared for as soon as she arrived at Mount Vale and that this continued throughout her stay there. I witnessed 1st hand the total respect and dignity that all the staff gave her and when she took a turn for the worse, the staff made sure that they prepared us before we went into her room, for this, we will be forever grateful - thank you.
Thank you for sharing your comments. I am very proud of our care team and the excellent care they deliver.
A marvellous place to come. 5 start treatment on every front. Have already recommended Barchester Care Homes to 2 elderly relatives!

This care home should be CQC rated 'outstanding'. All staff greet you in the corridor and public areas. They interacted with my father in a very caring way; never making him, nor me, feel he was any trouble whatsoever. The staff give the impression that their job is a 'calling', a vocation; not something just to be done.
I cannot speak highly enough of Mount Vale.

End of life care fills families of loved ones with apprehension, but Mount Vale was absolutely wonderful in helping with my mum's passing. The staff are able to maintain an air of positive light-heartedness without ever being disrespectful, and they kept us fully informed, with dignity, in a most compassionate way. Having qualified nursing staff at the home was a big plus for us as they were able to look after her to meet all of her needs in her last days. The facilities and sense of community are excellent. Our heartfelt thanks go to you all!
What a wonderful place, mum is receiving such wonderful nursing care. It is like stepping into a five-star hotel. Every member of staff has treated her with the utmost dignity and the level of care she is receiving is amazing. They are also making dad so welcome as he visits every day.

Hi, I’m Sue.
I began my career in care in the early 1990s, starting as a Care Assistant. Over the years, I have progressed through various roles, including a Regional Support role, and have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience within the care sector. I have had the privilege of managing multiple homes, including working as a turnaround manager.
I am passionate about building strong teams and creating a positive environment where residents can live their best lives. Ensuring that residents receive the highest standard of care and have the best possible experience is something I truly care about.
Outside of work, I am a proud mum and have two dogs who bring lots of joy to my life. I enjoy crocheting and can never resist buying more wool! I also love going to the pictures every week and enjoy listening to music.
I feel incredibly proud of my career in care and remain passionate about making a difference to the lives of residents, their families and the teams I work with.

Hi, I’m Camille, Deputy Manager and Registered Nurse at Mount Vale Care Home.
I used to work in a different care home as a nurse, supporting residents with a variety of nursing and complex care needs. My experience in care has taught me that good nursing isn’t just about medications, observations and care plans; it’s about knowing the person behind them. Everyone has a story, and I’ve always enjoyed getting to know it.
One of my favourite parts of my role is leading and supporting our clinical team. I love coaching people, sharing knowledge and seeing someone grow in confidence. I try to be the person I wish I’d had around when I was learning: someone approachable who will help rather than make you afraid to ask questions.
I also genuinely enjoy spending time with our residents and learning about who they were before they came to live with us. They’ve had careers, families, adventures, romances, mischief and entire lives before we ever met them. Sometimes their stories are much more interesting than anything I could find on Netflix!
Outside of work, I’m a committed documentary binge-watcher, particularly anything involving true crime, investigations, war, soldiers or medicine. I also love House and Grey’s Anatomy. Apparently, working in healthcare all day and then coming home to watch fictional healthcare is my idea of switching off! On a good day, you may also find me in Wetherspoons.
I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve managed to acquire several honorary ones! I’m friends with Ruby, a Spaniel–Black Labrador cross, and I’m the proud god-fur-parent to two cats, Whiskey and Kobe.
I take my work and responsibilities seriously, but I don’t think that means we have to be serious all the time. Care can be challenging, and sometimes a little kindness, a good conversation, and the right joke at the right time can completely change someone’s day.
At heart, I’m a people person. Whether I’m supporting a resident, coaching a colleague, solving a problem or simply making someone smile

Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs visit Mount Vale Care Home each month and have been visiting for over three years with their owner, Wendy. The team consists of Alf and his grandson Billy, who are both Border Collies. Jack, the founding canine pal of the organisation, visited for many years until he passed this year. Their visits aim to provide companionship, friendship and spread happiness to all they visit each month. Many of the residents have been dog owners themselves and enjoy chatting to the team about their own dogs. Billy and Alf are Wendy’s own dogs, who have been temperament assessed and then insured and registered with Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs as being suitable dogs to carry the title of therapy dog. They also compete in agility and obedience, but most of all enjoy a good cuddle with their family and friends.Jack and Pal’s mission is to bring the exceptional benefits of therapy dogs to the residents of Mount Vale, and they do this free of charge, relying on donations from fundraising events, regular or one-off donations. The organisation has visiting canine pals throughout the county who visit care and nursing homes, prisons, educational settings, businesses and day care centre on a weekly and monthly basis too.

I first joined the military in 1978, chasing my boyhood dream of becoming a Royal Marine; unfortunately, I left the following year due to ill health and injuries sustained during training.I also served at RAF Leeming in the Operations Centre, MOD Harrogate and RAF Fylingdales as Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of the Communications Centre.
My military career took its toll on me, and I was medically discharged through injuries received after just short of 20 years' service, and yes, I would sign up again in a heartbeat.My son is a fifth-generation veteran who served for 12 Years in the RAF and is serving on TCW like myself. I do wonder if any of my many grandchildren will become the sixth generation to serve
