Osborne House Care Home

We are delighted by how well my Grandma is being cared for since moving to Osbourne House. The staff are so kind, hard-working and caring. Grandma feels safe, secure and comfortable and we can see an improvement in her emotional well-being. As a family we also feel incredibly welcomed and the home makes it so easy for us to visit and feel a part of Grandma’s life.

What a lovely care home Osborne House is. My mum needed 24/7 care and I called in on the off chance, hoping for help. A staff member explained the whole set-up and the manager came out to visit my mum and explain in full all about the care home. My mum was very well looked after in the home, nothing was a problem. My mum’s health didn’t improve whilst in the care home and sadly she passed away within 6 weeks of admission. Her death was very peaceful and the room she died in was very tranquil. We were treated with dignity and kindness on my mum’s passing. One staff member treated us so well and stayed with us until the undertakers came. Many more staff members to mention but many were magnificent in helping and nursing my mum. I’d say well done to all the team at Osborne House.

On leaving the hospital to go into nursing floor my father was very poorly. The staff's kindness and encouragement and nursing care helped him feel like his old self and back onto the residential floor. Where he now joins in the brilliant organised activities and mixing with all the other residents. A great place with lots of fun and laughter.

She has settled in well and enjoys the daily activities. The Osborne team have been very helpful in helping the family to come to terms with Mum's condition and have given us all confidence that she is receiving the best care and attention she deserves.

So I thank you so very much for looking after her during her stay with you; I say it again, wonderful care shown by all.

My father moved to Osborne House earlier this year following a period of severe illness. He was reluctant to leave his home but this was happily short-lived. The surroundings, staff and atmosphere here are lovely and Dad recuperated very well. My dad settled in with the help of all the staff and very quickly came to really feel that this was his home especially as we were able to personalise his room. We were happy to leave Dad in the care of Osborne House and he made some really good friends there. The programme of activities is fantastic with something for everyone - Dad loved carpet bowls and the Monday exercises. Dad passed away at the end of August and we were wonderfully supported by the staff and the send-off they gave him was incredibly emotional. I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for care to have a look at Osborne House.

I can highly recommend.

At the moment he has been admitted to hospital due to an infection and one of the staff has shown an interest in his well being, contacting the hospital and then me to keep me and the house updated as to his progress. Hopefully my cousin will be able to go back to Osborne House as soon as possible.

Excellent facilities, very caring and dedicated staff. Not only is my husband cared for they care about me and my well-being. The home is clean, and the food is lovely. I can't praise the staff enough.

The only problem is when they have to cover the usual lovely carers with agency workers. Some agency workers are ok but there are others who are lazy, spend most of their time on their mobile phones, have to be told what to do when the need for them to do something is very obvious. They have no initiative. That is when I feel the care could break down.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who, for whatever reason, is looking for a care home placement.

Osborne House is clean, welcoming and comfortable. The staff are competent and friendly. The residents are treated as individuals with compassion and respect by all staff. It is a pleasure to visit the home and I always felt happy leaving my relative in their care.

Overall I believe the service to be very good. However, the food sadly is not to the standard I would expect. However, the staff 9 times out of 10 are wonderful and caring. The lack of staff often affects Mum's ability to be able to sit out and the bathroom seems not suitable for wheelchair use. Also, the bed could be improved.

My mother was discharged from hospital to Osborne House with significant nursing and care needs. At every stage of the following 8 months, she was treated with dignity and personalised care that was of the highest calibre. Led by an exceptional care home manager, all the staff made every effort to provide positive encouragement, kindness and consideration - as well as meeting the exacting standards of care that were needed every day. We could not have asked for better.

Your excellent care of my Mum who was on palliative care, the staff were amazing, caring and nothing was too much trouble. My mother was taken care of with dignity and respect.

My Mum went to Osborne House from hospital and was very impressed with the surroundings. She asked if it would be possible to stay there. The room was well furnished and equipped and the food met Mum's high expectations. Every member of staff was very caring and knowledgeable, as well as being most helpful and positive. All round this has been a good experience for my Mum and her family. Thank you so much.

I find the young lady who does the photographs and the hairdresser extremely helpful. The carers are very helpful and compassionate. Very happy that visiting arrangements were made for me so I could see my relatives during COVID.

My mum has been a resident since July 2014; she absolutely loves the staff and thinks of them as part of her family. The fact that activities are ongoing if residents want to participate, or they can choose to do their own thing, they have the choice. The rooms are really nicely decorated, and residents can have their own personal furniture, etc if they want. The staff evidently care for the residents and think of them as their own, going over and above, especially during the difficult times of the pandemic. 10/10 from me.

My mum moved to Osborne House as her care needs meant that she could no longer be looked after in her own home. She had both vascular dementia and a lack of mobility due to a nasty fall. From day one, she received kind and thoughtful care delivered by a team who looked after her with attention to detail and good humour. I was kept fully informed of any changes in her medical condition by excellent nursing staff. In her last days, we were both treated with great kindness and concern, and I am relieved that her last moments were with people who had been able to get to know her and were constant employees as opposed to agency staff.

table decorations, flags with mum's face and age on and numerous thoughtful touches. The staff made what might have been a disappointing day because of covid restrictions into a memorable, joyous and wondeful experience for my mother. I can't thank them enough.
