My wife was shown extreme consideration, affection and comforting care during her stay at Birdstone especially during the decline period of her terminal palliative care by a great collective of empathetic staff.

When I came here at first I immediately felt at home and the feeling has increased. I can't imagine not living here. The care staff are remarkable. I've never seen anyone feeling neglected. Everyone is made welcome here. I could write pages on the cleanliness of the place, the place is gleaming. A wonderful desirable residence.
It is incredibly heartwarming and wonderful to read about your experience. I know how committed our staff are, and how important it is to them that our residents receive the best care possible and therefore, I know just how much this will mean to all the staff and their manager to read your kind and positive words. Thank you!
The home is very comfortable and spacious. The staff are pleasant and attentive. I am kept well informed of matters relating to my mother.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your experience in relation to your mother's care. Whilst I am aware of the dedication of our staff and their commitment to providing the highest quality of care, to read the lovely reflections from a close family member helps to affirm and promote our commitment to delivering the levels of care and support we believe everyone should have.
My husband previously used Day Care and the respite facilities here but he is now in long term care and I must say, the care and compassion being shown by all the staff is so very reassuring to me and beneficial to my husband. I can rest easy knowing he's being well looked after.

We recognise how important the highest level, and standard of care to people who need it, is. We also understand how much support and care families need too, and to hear of your experience that we provided your husband with Day Care and respite support, and from this, it gave you the confidence to place your husband's care with us is wonderful to read. I will share this with our staff, manager and Day Care manager, as I know how much it will mean to them.
I just feel I am leaving my husband in safe hands.

I do feel however that individual activities have been lacking and not fully meeting her needs.
Overall good although staff sometimes not aware of having to leave the phone next to my mother and or not making sure the phone is working. Attention to detail.

Thank you very much for your kind review. Firstly my apologies that you have experienced difficulties telephoning, I have now discussed this matter with staff who will ensure and check regularly that the phone is both within reach and available for use.

Overall fantastic. Since the Activities Organiser left we miss the activities, especially bowling, boccia (bean bags) and parachute as my Mum can't do the activities that need thought. I am sure it will get back to normal when a new person starts.

Unfortunately, the activities co-ordinator had left without notice, however, we have since recruited a new activities co-ordinator who has commenced in the role from mid-December. The activities program is currently active and we are pleased with the new appointment.
Very positive from the start (December 2018). Staff always pleasant and approachable. Very satisfied with the care and overall experience.

The staff are kind, helpful and efficient.
