Overall care in home is great, just what my mum needs. However, she loves activities and would like it if there was at least one per day (Monday to Friday). She really enjoys singers, but prefers more modern music. Staff and food are amazing! Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind and inspiring words about Stoneleigh and our lovely team. Please be assured that whilst we continue to offer activities at least three to four times a week, we are in the process of releasing a member of the Stoneleigh team from her current role who wants to return to her original wellbeing coordinator role, which we are confident will happen over the coming weeks, which will enable Monday – Friday activities.
I think this is a lovely care home. It is always clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. My nannas always seems happy and cared for. Would recommend to anyone looking for a family member.

I always find that my grandad's needs are met. On arrival, carers are very friendly and tend to update me with my grandad's daily status before I ask, which I find extremely important and helpful. Always say I walk in and class this more of a "home" than a "care home".

Only negative to mention is the front door of the building could be more sturdy, lots of glass and not too secure.
Everyone takes care of and supports and safety of residents as a high priority. Thank you, everyone, at Stoneleigh.
Please be assured that the doors are safe and secure and passed as such on our recent door security audit, and there has been a new lock recently fitted. We are aware, however, that they require modernisation and are part of our planned refurbishment programme.

From the initial contact with the home, I think one particular lady was so amiable and welcoming. She gave us sound practical advice as regards to the respite care, and we actually had a visit beforehand. The staff and carers were all so lovely and professional. A member of staff even carried the bags to the car.
From the day she came in, the staff have been so caring, not just to her but to myself as well. I have never done anything like this before - so helpful. I always get made welcome. Any problems we have, the staff are brilliant.

Staff are very accommodating, friendly and helpful. They look after Mam very well and accordingly. Wouldn't want Mam to be anywhere else; everyone is meeting Mam's needs above and beyond.

Very friendly team with genuine care and compassion towards residents. It's what it should be, the residents' home not an institution. The place is immaculate and up-to-date with its decor and furnishings. Nothing is a problem for the staff. If any of the residents do not particularly fancy what is on the menu the catering team will do their best to accommodate their preferences. I can genuinely say I feel that my mam is being cared for with dignity and respect and I feel happy when I leave after visiting as she is happy.

My father was admitted to Stoneleigh Care Home last December, which was a stressful time for the family. The staff were fantastic in helping Dad to settle in and reassuring the family. There is a happy atmosphere in the home with plenty of activities for those who want to join in. The care, overall, is excellent with brilliant carers.
Excellent care was provided for Mum during a short term period of respite. All staff were so kind and thoughtful, looking after Mum and taking care of her needs with sensitivity and warmth. The manager was always available, quick to help and very reassuring, which I really appreciated.

Home is clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff - willing to help in any way they can. Try hard to keep their minds and body active.

My husband was in this care home from 1st November/15th November, looked after very well and was treated with respect by all the staff. A big thank you for caring for him from his wife and family.

On my arrival at Stoneleigh, I must admit I didn't know what to expect and it took me a little while to grow accustomed to my new surroundings. However, once I did, I became aware that these lovely people were here to help me, I worked with them. I've learnt much in the two months I've been here, things I needed to learn about myself. If and when I go home, I know my experience will help me live out my life in safety.
My mother has been in the care home since before the start of Covid. Also, my father was there for the last few months of his life. I can only say this love and support shown is wonderful.

At Stoneleigh, we provide comfortable accommodation for our residents. Our home is warm, and friendly and welcoming. We have undertaken a lot of work to make the outside gardens more inviting and more pleasant to sit in for our residents. We also do activities outside weather permitting, we also, have a reminiscence and several lounges we can use. Several HC-One homes are receiving a refurbishment, and we are looking forward to this in the coming year. We work with the residents to choose the decoration for the refurbishment. We will put forward the idea of a conservatory when the planning commences for the refurbishment. We regularly review our menu and discuss the choices with the residents to ensure that all tastes are catered for. We continue to have residents’ meetings, and we discuss what they would like in the home.

I arrived again at this care home Stoneleigh today to see my sister, and the care and attention to PPE were very attentive. This home has been my sisters home for quite a few years now, and she has been kept clean, eats well, and the staff are brilliant. The home itself is spotless, and there have never been any odours in all the time I have visited. I would recommend even myself to come here.

At Stoneleigh, we provide comfortable, homely accommodation for our residents. Our home is warm, friendly and welcoming.Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19 pandemic and the associated restrictions we have been unable to facilitate outings away from the Home for our residents. Due to the easing of restrictions, we are now able to offer some outings again and will be recommencing them this week.
Our meal service provision usually occurs at the following times: Breakfast – 9.00am to 10.00am, Lunch – 12.30pm to 1.30pm, Tea – 4.30pm to 5.30pm and Supper – 8.00pm to 8.30pm.
However, as Stoneleigh is our resident’s home, we always try to facilitate meal service provision outside of these times if that’s what our residents need/want. We have snacks and drinks available for our residents throughout the day.
At Stoneleigh, we offer a range of activities designed to encompass a wide range of tastes to suit all of our residents. We offer activities such as gardening, movies, quizzes, arts and crafts and have several projects on the go at the moment – such as making our gardens look wonderful with fairy and gnome gardens and lots of flowers. The residents are also growing some salad vegetables which they’ll hopefully enjoy when harvested. They are also experimenting with non-permanent henna-type tattoos. Of course, there are still the singalongs and bingo sessions held weekly. Our Wellbeing Co-ordinators are always open to suggestions for new things to do.
Cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work during these unforeseen times. The care and attention they have given cannot be put into words.

Cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work during these unforeseen times. The care and attention they have given cannot be put into words. Cannot thank them enough for all the care and attention to my mother and other residents. I think the staff at Stoneleigh should be given some sorry of recognition for all they have done for our loved ones during these difficult times. A very big thank you to all.
