Winchcombe Place is like a home from home. Everything you want for your loved one and us the people who are in need of support for them. A smiley warm welcome every time. My husband knew he was being heard. Gentle approach and empathy. The home has been very well designed and maintained throughout. The coffee shop has the most amazing cakes. Entertainment everyday for those who want to join in and quiet company for those who don't. I would definitely recommend Winchcombe. The staff are 5* lead by most caring team who want the best for all of their residents.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It means so much to know your husband feels genuinely heard and cared for, and that the warmth of our team comes through in every visit. Caring for him, and for you, is a privilege we don't take lightly, and your words will mean a great deal to the whole team.

John, Mo and Suzanne stand out for me and ensure a great culture and atmosphere. As a visitor I always feel welcome and questions and requests are always dealt with. Well done all!
Thank you so much for this, Paul. It's reassuring to know that over these past months you've seen consistent, genuine care for your father, and that questions or requests never go unanswered. John, Mo and Suzanne will be especially pleased to be mentioned by name, they, along with the rest of the team, put a lot into creating the kind of atmosphere you've described. Thank you.

We used Winchombe Place for respite care, and the whole process from booking to the end of the stay was fantastic! I'd recommend them to anybody.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It's wonderful to hear that respite care went so well from beginning to end, and that the care and attention to detail were felt at every step, not just during the stay itself. We're so glad Winchcombe Place could give you both peace of mind when it mattered.

From the minute you walk in the door everyone is so welcoming and smiling which makes visit days that little bit easier. The carers work so hard. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they do genuinely care about the residents which shines through when they interact with them.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been to visit my mother over Christmas and at a time when most of use are spending time with families the staff at Winchcombe are working hard to make it a great time for family members who are resident at the home.
I would like to say a very big thanks for the caring professionalism i see in every member of the team at Winchcombe, from the senior managers to the careers and support staff.

From day one Mum (& family) were made so welcome. Mum settled pretty quickly into a really good routine of exceptional care, good food, & so much kindness from all the staff.
After a few months Mum had made such an improvement that she was able to go back to her own home which is something we never thought would have been possible.
So grateful to all at Winchcombe ... Our family would recommend without a doubt.

Home is always friendly and approachable. Good interaction with relatives residents and staff. Regular meetings and updates. Good management structure in place, for both clinical and non-clinical enquiries. Rooms are clean and tidy, as are all communal areas. Nice to see the coffee shop back in operation. Food could be improved by waiting for a menu change for winter. As always, chocolate éclairs go fast, and all residents love them.

My dad was recently in this home and overall he had good care. The staff on the whole were pleasant and caring some members of staff were truly exceptional. The food was good and we were made welcome all the time. The entertainment team put in lots of enthusiasm. The receptionists are also are a major credit, going above and beyond their role However the care hone could sadly not meet my father s advancing dementia and this aspect was poorly managed and very stressful to us. We were not involved in any meetings and there was poor communication and updates regarding the management of my dads needs, culminating in a rush to find an alternative home. We were never warned that the home would not be able to meet the needs of challenging dementia. In my opinion this is a lovely home for the fairly abled or stable older person who can appreciate the activities, the cinema ,the outings etc but when advanced symptoms arise the home was not equipped ti manage .

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback regarding Winchcombe Place. Your comments regarding our staff are greatly appreciated and we are pleased to hear that you feel welcomed into our home. We recognise your concerns regarding the advancement of your father's symptoms and the level of care surrounding this. We are sorry to hear that this has been your experience in our home. Our team is comprehensively trained to provide high standards of dementia care and always work hard to support all residents to the best of their ability. However, as a residential home, there are times in which a resident's care needs may begin to change, resulting in them requiring more specialist care. We sincerely apologise if this was not communicated to you. Once again, thank you for sharing your feedback regarding Winchcombe Place. Your input is invaluable to us and allows us the opportunity to grow and improve the quality of care we provide.

A excellent place to stay in your later years with good care and excellent staff.

I would highly recommend Winchcombe Place, it's an excellent care home.
Grandad has been in the last few months now and has settled so well - the highlight so far was celebrating his 95th birthday. The home made him a beautiful care and welcomed a lot of family members in the pink bar. After missing his 90th due to covid, this was really special for all of us.

The staff at Winchcombe Place were most supportive of both my wife and myself. They were friendly, patient and professional. Once as we walked along a hallway one of the carers approached us. As she past my wife raised her arm and embraced the young carer - that warmth was comforting to witness. My wife avoided participating in group activities but on occasions the gentile encouragement from staff overcame her resistance. For the first two months of her stay I visited my wife from 11 am to 2 pm. We chatted in her room, had a coffee and pastry and then went to one of the smaller lounges and listened to R&R music on the CD player. My wife found the noise of dishes etc. in the dining room disturbing and to facilitate us the staff brought the meal to another small lounge that had a dining table. After those first two months it was suggested that my health would benefit if I reduced the frequency of my visits. I accepted this good advice and reduced my visits to four days per week. Sadly my wife passed away in her sleep. I am most grateful of all the support I received.

My husband, who has Alzheimer's, arrived at Winchcombe on Saturday for two weeks of respite care. It is now Monday evening. We were greeted at reception and taken to his room, which is large, light, airy and en suite. He has settled in immediately, the staff have been so supportive to him and me, they are approachable, informative, friendly and professional. I am invited to eat with him when I am visiting at meal times. The coffee bar has been a hit, especially the home-made cakes and biscuits! He has enjoyed joining in with all the activities; Rememberance parade, singing and yoga. As someone who has been resistant to joining in, seeing him happy, relaxed and content is wonderful. He is looking forward to visits from school children and crafts in the next few days. The lounge areas are lovely for a quiet snooze when needed. This beginning has made me feel safe to leave him without feeling so guilty. My thanks to all the team.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're thrilled to hear your husband settled in so well during his respite stay and that he enjoyed the activities, meals and coffee bar treats. Knowing you felt reassured and supported means so much to us. It was a pleasure to have you both with us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

My mother is a resident of 7 years, living with dementia and the after effects of a stroke. The decor and maintenance is looking good, presenting a lovely feeling of comfort and calm. The most important aspect, for myself, is one of trust. Trust that the personal care, safety, dignity and medical care is consistently of a high standard and the relationship of the staff and management team allows me to maintain my bond as a son. Underlying that trust are the most important humans in the home, the staff. Their attitude and behaviour is what makes the environment for the personal needs of my mum (everyone is different with different levels of social comfort, engagement and needs). The hospitality team must be specially mentioned as the vibrancy and energy around the home is their creation which is felt as you enter the building. The administrative group are great and long may the managment team train, develop, respect, and grow everyone who is employed on this home's journey to excellence.
Thank you for sharing your reflections. It's wonderful to hear how much trust you have in the care and support your mother receives. Ensuring her dignity, comfort and individual needs are met is always our priority. Your recognition of the team's dedication from hospitality to administration, means...

I have 30 years of experience working in care homes, and I was keen to join Care UK because of Winchcombe Place’s great reputation within the local community.
Before this, I was working as a Home Manager of a nursing home for residents living with dementia who required nursing care.
As Home Manager of Winchcombe Place, it’s important that I’m empathetic, a good listener and have good leadership skills. I ensure I’m always open and transparent and show my own learning when needed.
My favourite part of the day is walking around the home and talking to residents, relatives and colleagues. By spending time with residents, I find out what else we can be doing to enhance their lives.
I’m proud of my achievements, including a career highlight of turning a home from ‘Requires Improvement’ to ‘Good’ within six months. But I also feel fulfilled when I see my team enhancing the lives of residents or progressing in their careers. Seeing the residents smile and having a great quality of life also makes everything we do worth it.
The most important part of my role is ensuring the safety of the residents and all those who visit Winchcombe Place. As both a manager and someone who has had a loved one live in a care home, I have valuable experience seeing care homes from both sides.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy family walks with my beautiful cockapoo Lottie, cooking and travelling.
