I had previously arranged to stay at Tennyson Wharf after my right knee replacement surgery took place at hospital 01:07:26. A very pleasant driver came from TW 02:07:26 to collect me. My arrival at TW that day was most welcoming. Everything was put in place quickly to make me feel cared for & relaxed. My room was large & comfortable. I suffered quite a lot of pain during the 1st week, but the care I received was first class & nothing was too much trouble. The beautifully home-cooked meals served in the pretty dining room overlooking the horizon we delicious & well presented. Being so well cared for definitely helped me recover from the operation more quickly as I was able to concentrate on physio exercises (so necessary) walking & mobility.

Please feel free to pop in and have a coffee with us any time, it would be lovely to see you and catch up, I know your friends on the top floor would be delighted to see you as well.

After the unexpected passing of my wife, I needed help with my everyday household management and life in general. A period of respite was suggested, and I looked at several care homes to help me through a short period of one to two weeks. Most of the care homes visited were smelly, dirty, shabby homes, was sugested, and I made an unanounced unexpected visit. I was welcomed by a pleasant, cheerful receptionist. Nature of my enquiry passed me on to the deputy, who, after reassurance of the admission criteria, I arranged a two week respite. The menu was superb, and the food served matched the excellent menu. The staff were amazingly helpful, caring and kind, particularly to those with special difficulties. After one day respite, I signed into the home permanently. I have been here for 2 months and do not regret my decision. Really wonderful environment provided - and games.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am very proud our team have been able to help support you at this time, and very much look forward to your continued relationship with us at Tennyson Wharf.

Having spent a lot of time researching to find a suitable respite placement for my father, I finally came upon this absolutely brilliant home which looked nothing like standard care homes. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Dad said this was his favourite place, topping pub breakfasts! Most importantly, he's really happy to return for more respite shortly and if permanent care was required, he'd be more than happy to return. He really loved it there and loved all the attention.
Thank you very much for your kind words, I will make sure this is shared with our team. Looking forward to seeing Dad again soon.
