Over all time Northlands Nursing Home has 29 reviews.
My mother has been in Northlands for four years and her treatment has been second to none. I cannot praise the staff enough for all they have done to keep her safe and well especially during these last eight months. The home is very clean (doesn’t smell like an old folks home) there is know where hidden, they have an open-door policy. There is a daily menu choice which is fairly comprehensive, always looks and smells good and I have never heard a complaint from my mother. All staff are friendly and approachable and always helpful. There are a good range of activities from flower arrangements, drawing, karaoke, guest singers, cards and dominoes also outings are arranged. I have nothing but heartfelt gratitude towards all who work in Northlands and look after my mam the way I cannot.
The home has recently been extensively refurbished to a high standard. Relatives and friends visiting my wife are all very impressed.
My mother is suffering from dementia and we managed to get her into Northlands. She felt straight at home with her room and building and the staff who are fantastic. The home is well set up for care and the staff are well trained and cannot do enough for you. The home is always clean and many of the rooms have been refurbished. I can thoroughly recommend Northlands Nursing Home and would like to thank all the staff for their professionalism and friendliness and knowledge in assisting my mother and the other residents.
I especially enjoy talking to the owner's father and various members of his family, especially separate ones.
A very short stay but my wife was cared for well.
The new owners are investing extensively in the property and it would be good to see them investing to the same extent in the staff, their most important asset. Happy, supported, well-trained staff are key to the residents’ comfort and wellbeing.
The middle floor can be a lonely place in the evenings with few staff around and I am told it can take time to respond to residents’ call alarms when, for example, they need to go to the bathroom.
There can be a lack of consistency regarding communication and delivering information. The staff, however, do care very much and do their best especially when they appear to be a little short on the ground.
Thank you for your review.
Parkside Care acquired Northlands in March 2017 and as you note we have started a major refurbishment program. Our investment in the fabric of the building will make the home fit for purpose and improve facilities for both residents and staff.
We have also...
The social interaction with functions that celebrate not only residents birthdays, but really all events on the calendar e.g easter, summer fete's, Halloween etc keeping elderly residents in tune with things that they would have celebrated in their own homes at one time in their lives. Northlands is also animal-friendly both domesticated and wildlife interactions are important and precious especially the red squirrels and many birds that frequent the garden. Northlands social organiser plays an important part in this. My aunt especially enjoyed the painting, music and film sessions.
The team of cooks, handyman, and visits from the opticians, chiropodists and especially the hairdressers all work so hard for the benefit of the residents. It is important that those behind the scenes are not forgotten. I do feel that relatives should give more personal input and could help out when seeking entertainers for all the residents. Next year I hope it will be possible to invite a group of residents and carers to my home to have tea and see my garden and listen to some music. I have always tried to give support to Northlands when they have strived to give a special function for all residents. I welcome this opportunity of giving a small amount of my views. I can only say God Bless and thank you for caring for my aunt.
I think the care and all the other things associated in Northlands is brilliant. Once the renovations are completed, Northlands will be superb! Well done to everyone!
I have visited my friend since she arrived in Northlands. I have always been impressed with the very high standard of care given to her and other residents, by all staff. I have tried to record this in my comments at residents meetings, which have been minuted.
I have also seen numerous acts of kindness by staff towards my friend and other residents. Finally, a lot of work has been done this year on the building and furnishings.
