My dad has been in the care home for 10 weeks & the care he has received has been 1st class staff are very friendly & attend to his needs brilliantly .my Dad has settled in very quickly & the lovely staff have played a big part in that Also the manager Kelly has been very helpful & is approachable with any questions the family have had .
Thank you for your kind words. It's wonderful to hear that your dad has settled in so well. We look forward to continuing to get to know both you and your father, ensuring he feels at home and enjoys the very best experience at Letham Park. Best wishes,
Having gone through a difficult time at the home in relation to the standard of care being offered, and communication between staff being dreadful things have begun to improve. However there is still more to be done. It appears to be going in the right direction.
Our experienced new management team is focused on driving consistency in care and support for both residents and their families. They are...
In our opinion, anyone moving in there who is active is not what they are looking for as they need extra monitoring and they are not able to provide that. We would not recommend them.
We’re really sorry to hear that this has been your experience. We always take feedback or complaints seriously and include them in learning and development opportunities for the home and across the group. Very best wishes for the future, Renaissance Care
I am very happy with the care my relative receives at Mathieson House. The home is welcoming and comfortable and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and provide excellent care. The activities provided by the staff keep my relative happy and engaged.
My family and I had a very good experience. They made our mum feel very much at home straight away, although it still took her a while to settle in she is very happy staying there. All the staff are great and very friendly, they cannot do enough for the residents and their families. They have beautiful surroundings and all the rooms are very clean. My mum has all her own things in her room so she thinks she is in her own home which is great so that makes the family happy.
Thankyou Grace for taking the time to review us here at Letham Park. My Team here at Letham Park take pride in their work and whenever possible try and give 100%. I’m pleased that Mum feels right at home and continues to enjoy life here at Letham Park. Many Thanks Stephen
I visit my friend 4regularly and all the staff and the manager are very good. Also, the office staff are so friendly. I have no complaints with the care home.
This is an excellent care home. The rooms are like small hotel rooms, well furnished and the handyman will see to anything from fixing something to putting personal photo's or paintings on the walls. Since we have had a new manager I have noticed a lot of improvements to furnishings (e.g roundtables in the dining room as opposed to square much friendlier for the residents). Also, a tea room has been opened and there is a good range of activities from games to sing-alongs to visiting dogs etc. I cannot speak highly enough of Letham Park and will recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm happy that you are pleased with the care and support delivered to your relative. We take pride within our home making sure all areas of the home are bright, clean and homely looking, and of course providing a good standard of care. Many Thanks.
My friend was a very independent lady. After her accident, she was put in this nursing home. At first, she would not settle, the staff persevered with her and would not give up. She has now been here 10 months and she is now part of a big family and has settled in. This is due to the management and staff and their care. I would describe this home as a family unit. You get to know them all on first name terms.
Thank you for your review, Yvonne, it's nice to hear that your friend has settled into our care home well. Myself and my team are always on hand to offer good standards of care. We pride ourselves in delivering quality care with a holistic approach to suit the residents' needs. We look forward to continuing offering our residents and families a high standard of service. Many Thanks, Stephen.
My friend is in Letham Park. I can honestly say she is treated with dignity and respect. The staff are very helpful and have done their best to support my dear friend. She has come on leaps and bounds since her admission and has settled really well. The garden facility is wonderful. So nice to see her in such a caring environment. Always a pleasant visit .
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm delighted to hear you're happy with the care and support offered here at Letham Park (Garden House). We strive to offer only the best of service to our residents here at Letham Park. My team are always on hand to help in any way for our residents and family/friends. Kind Regards Home Manager
Excellent and the care provided to my Father has been exceptional. The Manager is running a very lovely facility. Under his guidance the staff are wonderful, always smiling and very obliging. They all take their roles seriously to make the environment very pleasant for their residents. As a relative, it is so good to know that my/our loved one is in safe hands. The leadership skills are superb. All staff are very happy from the domestics to the management. Out of 100 = 100%
