Resident rooms are kept clean and tidy every day.
Laundry staff provide excellent services of clothes washing and ironing.

A better usage of the smart screen in the café area to project music concerts for residents on days when no activities are provided.

Wednesday is the highlight of his week as for the rest of the week he is under a petticoat government.
The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble and we are always sure of a smiling face.
It is great to hear your husband always looks forward to joining in with our Wednesday Gentlemen's Club, which warmly welcomes both our residents and members of the community. It is also lovely that you both find our staff friendly and welcoming. Thank you!
From the moment they allowed me to be admitted very late in the evening and got me to bed on the first night everything has been wonderful. The staff are all helpful and lovely and kind and the food. The chef is surely one of the top chefs in the country. All facilities excellent.

My mother has struggled with depression since the death of my stepfather 3 years ago, had lost all interest in life and what was happening around her. I discovered that she could go to Tennyson Wharf for the day and suggested it. She has visited various care homes over the years to see friends and relatives and wasn't impressed with the idea but agreed to go and look. One short visit persuaded her to give it a try. I dropped her off at 10 am looking forward to it but slightly nervous as she wouldn't know anyone. I collected her at 4 pm and couldn't believe the difference in her. She walked out with her shoulders back, her head up and she was no longer shuffling like a little old lady. That transformation continued through the following week as she talked daily about what she'd done and when we arrived for the second visit and she was greeted by her name as soon as she set foot in the door I knew it was all going to be ok. She is now planning a stay when I go on holiday.
Comfortable; clean; spacious and relaxing environment. No-one rushing about or shouting - thus keeping stress for residents and visitors to a minimum.

Comfortable; clean; spacious and relaxing environment. No-one rushing about or shouting - thus keeping stress for residents and visitors to a minimum.
Staff are genuinely caring and all seem to know where residents are at any particular time; however, residents are free to 'wander' without being 'told off'. This creates a lovely atmosphere. More like a hotel, to be honest.
Menu looks good and creative. Catering staff are very tolerant of late-comers (and the inevitable 'moaners'). Tea and coffee freely available. Visitors are encouraged to self-serve, though staff are always at hand if required.
Great views from Mum's room; and the sitting and dining rooms.
The room is exactly the right size and is NOT stiflingly hot.
Easy to contact a senior member of staff if necessary.
Loads of activities, including Mum's favourite - the mum and toddler group
Bad Points:
Apart from the cost (!), there are NO bad points. I would recommend this Home without any hesitation.
Thank you for your kind review - we are pleased that your Mum is enjoying her stay at Tennyson Wharf and that you are finding the atmosphere, food and activities up to our high standard that we would expect. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Five-star rest home.

My first experience was being invited to help with the entertainment at the official opening. Being resident on the nearby estate, I have continued to support fundraising and open days. As a result of this, I have become friends with a couple of residents and on a number of occasions enjoyed an excellent meal in their company. All the staff come over as very caring and considerate.
Thank you very much for your review K B - we are so pleased that you are part of the community at Tennyson Wharf. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

My very elderly mother died in March of old age and infections. The care my mother had was wonderful and every possible thing was done for her comfort. The staff were extremely caring with both her and us and we were delighted with the happy family feel of the care home from everyone involved including cleaners, gardeners, tea trolley, reception and of course, nurses and carers. It is an extremely high standard home, very clean and nice smelling. Well done!
Thank you for your review. Our staff take great pride in our home and the care that we provide so we are very pleased that your mother enjoyed her stay in Tennyson Wharf and that you found the care to be wonderful.

We were very impressed by the reception we received from a member of staff who was so happy and welcoming and obviously was really proud of the care and facilities on offer. We have found this to be true - everyone has been so kind to mum. The care has been brilliant - my mum has been transformed in one day! From not wanting to get out of bed and get dressed, my mum has been showered, hair is done and she has eaten a wonderful meal with lovely residents in the dining room. Lovely environment, clean and stimulating, friendly and personable manager with a bouquet of flowers for mum to welcome her. Thank you.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that the care that your mum received has met our own expectations that we wish to deliver.
A warm happy atmosphere. Thank you.

Not so good - confusion caused due to invoicing policy i.e one person stated at end of 2-week respite care, another stated it should be paid up front.

In addition, my relative was treated with courtesy dignity and respect as well as with patience and prompt attention to her needs. Barchester is, in relative terms, expensive, but 'you get what you pay for'. Doubtless, I shall be booking in in a few year's time.

It is a pleasure to see my friend happy here despite his physical limitations.
The situation and surroundings are perfect and the cleanliness, staff, food and facilities are far ahead of those other homes I have visited.
However, all of these advantages are reflected in the fees and it is not for those of limited means.
First class in all aspects and very helpful and courteous, as in a first-class hotel. Expensive but worth it.

We have to travel 35 miles to Tennyson Wharf. There are two others a lot closer but the standard is no way as good. That's why I am happy to travel.
