My mum has been a resident at Willow House for just over a year now and is very settled and content at the home. I find staff friendly kind and efficient - nothing is too much trouble for them. My mum is encouraged to participate in many and varied activities and to go on bus trips - all greatly enhanced her quality of life. I have nothing but praise for Amanda and her team - they do a great job!

My mum has just recently moved to Willow House and I can honestly say she has been so well looked after from day 1. I never thought she would be as happy as she is. Nothing is too much bother with the staff and she is always clean and tidy presented. Her room is spotless and tidy every time we have visited. The staff have time and patience and the manager has done a fantastic job, the staff are a credit. The food looks amazing, there are so many fun activities for Mum to do and the music events are right up her street. We now know that Mum is safe X

Visited my mum while over in April 2025. She has really brightened up and seemed very happy since moving into Willow House just after Christmas. The activities and trips out are keeping her entertained daily and she has settled in to the routine very well. Staff are amazing and the care home is clean , well run and secure.

Overall Experience

My mother in law was transferred here from another care home as more to suit her needs, a very lovely place , very welcoming, staff are absolutely amazing/polite & welcoming when you are visiting , they can't do enough for the residents, very attentive to all who is in their care. Place is clean, bright & loads of activities planned & all what is happening is displayed on the wall for you to see. All the staff are very approachable & nothing is any bother. The food menus are displayed to see what is available & all sound & look amazing. Noticed a change in my mother in law for the better since she has moved here. She seems happier & more settled, always kept upto date with anything that needs to be told to us.

Overall Experience
Mum only recently moved to Willow House and we couldn't be happier with the care provided. Willow House has a warm, friendly, caring approach from all staff. Everyone is approachable and helpful. The home is light, clean and nicely decorated. The garden is especially nice and easily accessible.
The manager went above and beyond to make sure mums needs were met. Nothing is too much bother.

Most importantly mum is happy and safe.

Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Willow House Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind words. Our entire staff team work hard to ensure our home offers a welcoming, happy and safe environment and we're so glad to hear that your Mum has immediately felt the benefit of that.

Shout out to the activities at Willow and the young lady who runs it who is always going the extra mile with the people at Willow House. She does her job with a great big smile on her face and shows so much attention and passion with her job. She is always making sure that everyone is involved within the activities as much as possible and that they are all happy with what they are doing. She is a real Gem and a great person that the team should count themselves lucky to have.

Overall Experience

My granny suffered a stroke last year and has had to move into this home, and my family and I have been blown away by how wonderful Willow House is! The level of care is brilliant, staff are so friendly when we visit, and my granny seems incredibly settled - which is something we were worried about with the transition! She also absolutely loves the meals!!! Thank you much to all the staff at Willow House.

Overall Experience

Willow House is the most welcoming place. The staff are thoughtful, caring and supportive to the residents and the families. The manager and his team have re-decorated and added new furniture and paintings etc. after asking residents for ideas. They make special efforts on birthdays and anniversaries, and for residents and their spouses to have Christmas dinner together. Nothing is ever too much and any issues are dealt with professionally and quickly. Great communication and always make time for a wee chat. I'm so pleased we chose Willow House.

Overall Experience

After a few initial teething issues got sorted out, as a family we cannot fault the care given to our mum. She is well looked after, enjoys the meals and the staff's company. There is always something to involve them in activities, lots of cups of tea and biscuits. Staff are friendly and helpful at all times.

Overall Experience

My mother has been in Willow House since August and from day 1 she settled which was rather unexpected. She wasn't eating much to begin with but now has a great appetite. Mum gets on well with most residents, she has a fantastic relationship with all the staff and has started getting involved in activities. The staff are always very welcoming and the care home manager has been very supportive in what has been a very difficult few months for myself. Overall I think this is a great care home and the staff work incredibly hard.

Review from Amanda R (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
A lot of changes in the care home since my mum arrived a year ago, but the care and assistance have been fantastic!
While visiting, I would suggest that the cleanliness in the lounge is reviewed more frequently. Perhaps different seats for guests as the seats can look very unhygienic. Perhaps more activities for residents also as not many recreational events seem to be happening.

Overall, excellent environment.

Review from Sharon C (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has had a really hard time with her health, especially over the last year, but she has been looked after so well I have no complaints. The staff really care about her health and comfort. I have noticed a huge difference in the atmosphere recently, it's much more calm and happy. The changes the new management are making are great overall and I really feel my mum is being looked after very well. There is also meetings being introduced involving staff and residents' families to give us the chance to have our say good or bad and put forward any ideas we might have (i.e. activities etc) which I think will help us all feel more involved with how our loved ones are cared for. All in all, I feel that when I can't be there my mum is being cared for as well as she can be.
