My mother was ill in hospital in Lancaster and she realised that she could not cope at home in her flat anymore and would like to go into a care home. My mother said that she particularly wanted to go to the Summerhill. There was not a place for her straight away so she went to the care home in another place. Luckily a place did come up very soon and she was very happy to move to Summerhill.

I take part in the activities so my friend will join in. I also enjoy them and have learnt a lot as well. The ladies Circle, which has just started is a good idea, it gets the ladies to chat together and make friends. The music exercise goes down very well and it gets everyone singing as well.

The same person wrote the minutes for a residents meeting. She finally got them corrected on the second time. However, she did not record that a patient wanted it to be recorded that the laundry was efficient etc, this was not recorded the second time.
To my mind this is arrogant behaviour and unacceptable?!
Excellent "shopping" arrangements. Security has been a problem that has been sorted.
Thank you for your review. Your comments are extremely important to us and our residents’ health and wellbeing is our absolute priority. We will discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve their service. The Bupa Customer Care Team.
My father has only been at Summerhill Care Home for a week so far for respite nursing care. It is a lovely place, very clean and welcoming, all the staff are excellent and provide a top class service, well presented ad caring.

My father spent the last 20 months of his life at Summerhill. I have nothing but praise for the care he received. The staff at Buttermere Suite were wonderful. They were his friends, they were skilled and competent carers and nurses, and they cared deeply about him. He was always treated kindly and with a lot of affection. He loved chatting to them and having a laugh. He died in his room at Summerhill, which was wonderful, and I was with him. I felt tremendously well supported - even when I was told quite clearly that I needed a rest and must go home for a few hours! I was treated always as if I was part of their team, and between us we made him comfortable and happy in his last days. Summerhill may be outclassed by newer, grander homes with larger and more lavish rooms, but what really matters is the quality of the care, and in my experience it's second to none.
Thank you for your review. We offer our condolences and are pleased to hear your father had a happy, comfortable experience with us towards the end of his life.
