Wordsworth House

I was genuinely impressed and deeply moved by the care at Wordsworth House. I was apprehensive about my mother going into a home, but the staff exceeded all my hopes. They weren't just hardworking and professional-they brought kindness, patience, and even humour, making an immense difference. With 24/7 access, I visited at all hours and always saw genuine care. The staff truly valued the residents, creating a warm and compassionate environment. When my mother sadly passed away, their support was exceptional. They handled everything with such understanding, knowing exactly how to comfort each of us. I am profoundly grateful I chose Wordsworth House. The kindness, humour, and dedication of the staff made a difficult time so much easier, and I cannot thank them enough.

Eevryone at Wordsworth House treats my mum with genuine affection and concern for her welfare. Although bedbound and suffering form dementia, staff chat to her, are cheery and encouraging. On visiting Wordsworth House, I find it reassuring that all staff, on any floor, know her by name and are interested in any comments and any concerns. Staff are proactive and communicate any issues to me in a timely fashion, either verbally or by telephone. Wordsworth House has been a very good choice of care home.

My father initially went in for respite due to the death of my mother. Every request I made to the staff was carried out. The staff were excellent, friendly and treated him with care and humour which I appreciated. He ended up staying for 11 months and passed away in their care. I cannot thank the staff enough for all they did and will always be grateful for the care my dad received.

The care and kindness, often good-humoured is quite evident.

I have no complaints to say about this care home.

My mum was only at home for less than three weeks. She was well looked after. The staff were all amazing and caring. All the staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. My mum never got the chance to take part in any activities as she was quite poorly, so I cannot comment. Overall, a lovely comfortable home with great staff who are caring and friendly.

My mam was a resident at Wordsworth House for almost two years, until she died in February 2024, at the age of 102 years. Although Mam was diagnosed with dementia and had mobility problems, she was alert and interested in many topics. My sister and I were so happy with the wonderful care she was given during her time at Wordsworth. The staff were all kind, patient and caring at all times, and always showed respect and preserved Mam's dignity. We will always be grateful to them.

My mam was in Wordsworth for nearly two years up until she sadly passed away in February. During her time there, she was very happy and enjoyed getting to know the staff, some of whom became more like friends to both her, me and my sister. I am so grateful to all the staff for their excellent care and support. They always treat Mam with kindness, patience, humour, encouragement and dignity. Always willing to go the extra mile.

Wonderful care by wonderful, caring people. Everyone was kind, efficient and helpful. I cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work.

I would like to thank the staff at Wordsworth House Jesmond for looking after my brother with terminal cancer. His wife died on New Year's Day 01/01/2023. He was in the home for eight glorious months they made him and my family very welcome. Could not thank the staff enough. He loved all the staff both day shift and night shift. Thanks very much.

I wish to express our gratitude and praise for the care and nursing given to my brother-in-law while he was in the care of Wordsworth House in Jesmond. All the staff were fantastic with the way they looked after him, he wouldn't have lasted so long without him staying at this home.

Words cannot express how wonderful this place is. Everyone at Wordsworth House care for the residents as if they were their own family member. My uncle came here January 2023 and very recently lost his battle with cancer. Every single team member loved him and his fantastic sense of humour. He did not want to leave and felt as though everyone was an extended family member. Thank you from all of the family for making my uncle feel so special from the minute he came to you.

As the service user I support is unable to communicate, it's very important to me that staff keep me informed between visits if anything they think I need to know. Because they do this, I'm reassured to feel that they genuinely care about his health and welfare.

My father has been a resident at Wordsworth House for over two years. The staff provide an excellent level of care and work very hard. They are very caring and kind. My father is happy there. I would highly recommend Wordsworth House.

As I have said before I cannot recommend Wordsworth House more highly.

My brother was taken in as a resident in January 2023. His care and welfare have been provided by a wonderful team of staff, from everyone working at Wordsworth House, even down to the cleaners who are always careful and diligent in their duties. I would have no problem in recommending Wordsworth House to anyone needing care for themselves or their relatives.

My relative who suffers from dementia is comfortable and content. The home keeps me informed on a regular basis of her situation and needs. As a relative it is essential to know she is in a secure and safe environment, which gives peace of mind.

My husband has been a resident of Wordsworth House since August last year and the dedication of the staff and the care they give him are exemplary. He is able to respond to his nurses and carers the way he would to his family, they are his second family now. Any small problem that has arisen has been dealt with swiftly and professionally.

The administration staff are approachable, helpful and pleasant. Caring staff are efficient and attentive to residents. Activities for residents - armchair exercises, craft club etc. The residents have acceptable meals and look well cared for.

My mother has been much happier since she moved here. Friendly, caring staff who treat her with dignity and compassion. Good facilities and activities, always clean and tidy, staff will help in any way they can. I cannot recommend Wordsworth House highly enough.
