Our dear mum has been at Wisteria House for two years. Finding the right words regarding the care they have provided her and the support and reassurance they have given my sister and I is really difficult. Their levels of professionalism and care have consistently been excellent. Every single member of their wonderful team oozes love and patience for all their residents. Nothing is ever too much trouble. There is a warmth and dedication that is ever present and this is truly humbling to be around. It is a very special home indeed and my mum and her family and friends are so lucky for their team to part of our lives. I have settled on a word that is on reflection entirely apt; when it comes to care homes Wisteria is a UNICORN.
What an amazing review! Thank you so much it makes us all feel really proud, we enjoy what we do and we hope it shows!

It's a fabulous place. The staff are wonderful. Very caring, welcoming, supportive both to mum and myself and always professional.
There are always thoughtful , stimulating and interesting activities arranged. Recently they had a virtual reality session in which mum chose to spend time in the forest. I have not seen mum so happy for such a long time.
Also an old school newsagents was set up in one area which was great fun and brought back lots of memories. An ice cream themed day for national ice-cream day , even had ice cream van in the garden!
The garden is beautiful and allows for plenty of time to be spent outside in the fresh air, as well as gardening sessions for service users who may be missing the chance to garden at home anymore.
The home has a lovely atmosphere, it's very homely and spotlessly clean. Everyone is treated with a h

Food and cleanliness is top class and family + friends are welcome at any time without prior appointment. Activities every day to keep residents entertained and stimulated. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for for taking the time to leave us a review, it is very much appreciated. We have an open door policy so that friends and family can visit when ever they can, we know how busy lives can be and keeping in touch is so important.
All staff work incredibly hard to create a wonderful family atmosphere, they always have time for the residents.

Nothing appears too much trouble and the staff sit with the residents and chat to them as though they were one of their own family. Always a pleasant place to visit. Plenty of activities for residents to take part in if they wish.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, it is very much appreciated. We are very much a family here at Wisteria and spend as much time as we can just chatting and being around our Wisteria family, just like you do at home!

We were so lucky to have found this home ( through a friend's recommendation) to have our mother looked after. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and dedication to make the residents feel so cared and looked after.
Thank you for leaving this lovely review, we all appreciate it. Wisteria really is a home from home, we very much enjoy what we do and it shows in our care, helping our residents to feel comfortable and relaxed, after all it is their home! Thanks again.

They have also been exceptionally supportive to us as a family throughout Mum's time there, always keeping us informed and making us feel welcome.
The range of activities and experiences they offer is outstanding and has made such a positive difference to Mum's quality of life.
Knowing that Mum is happy, safe, and so well cared for gives us enormous peace of mind. Honestly, this is the only place I would want my mum to be. We are extremely grateful to everyone at the home and would highly recommend them to other families.
Thank you very much for leaving us this brilliant review. We are so fortunate to be part of a small group of 3 owner run care homes, our homes are small enough for us to get to know our families and residents really well, which is so important. We are so proud of what we have acheived, thank you for your apreciation, it makes our day!
The staff are very patient and genuinely caring, and the whole atmosphere is warm and supportive. I'm truly grateful for their dedication. We can't imagine her anywhere else now.

The staff are very patient and genuinely caring, and the whole atmosphere is warm and supportive. I'm truly grateful for their dedication. We can't imagine her anywhere else now.
There is something different going on every day and everybody staying there always seems happy and relaxed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wisteria House to anybody.
Many thanks for leaving this wonderful review, its a huge compliment to hear that you would recommend us. We really enjoy what we do and that comes across in the care we offer.

My Aunty who has lived there for in excess of 6 years has thrived since she has been in this home. She has a beautiful room which is always spotless (no smells in this home) they keep everybody looking beautiful, always well groomed which is important, every Thursday they have their hair washed and styled by a professional hairdresser who is also a member of the team - thank you Holly.
The food is all home cooked and the kitchen like the rest of the home is spotless. The entertainment is something to be envied by all who see the videos, they create such fun and laughter
As for the staff led by Kirsty they are one big family who over the years my aunty truly loves and accepts as her family, even I as a visitor enjoying my time there
No appointments are needed to visit your loved ones, the door is always open, the kettle is always on
Just fabulous 10/10 for everything - Keep doing what your doing 'Team Wisteria'
Thank you so much for leaving us this amazing review, its much appreciated by all of us. There is always something going on at Wisteria Plymstock, we try really hard to create a home from home, somewhere we feel proud to be a part of.

Mum has been in Wisteria House for 15 months now. Every day she is cared for to the highest standards with love and kindness. All the staff are amazing, the daily activities are wide, varied and inclusive, its wonderful to see the residents having fun together. Moving a loved one into care is a hard emotional decision, we have never doubted the move into Wisteria House, we don't believe we could any better. Grateful thanks to everyone.
Many thanks for leaving us this review, its much appreciated. Our lovely residents create a wonderful atmosphere of fun and happiness, we just help them along and join in too! It's a privilege to do what we do and to have lots of memorable moments along the way, among all the seriousness there is always room for laughter.

My wife has been a resident at Wisteria House Dementia care home for exactly 12 months during which I have visited her almost daily. The level of care love and attention given to each resident has astonished me and this is reflected in the general atmosphere of happiness among staff and the residents. I have no reservations in recommending Wisteria House to anyone whose loved one can no longer be cared for at home.
We all really appreciate you taking the time to submit this lovely review. As you know there are always plenty of smiles, fun and laughter at Wisteria house!

We're so grateful for the care my Nana receives at this care home. The staff are absolutely lovely, kind, attentive, and genuinely caring towards the residents. There's always something going on, with lots of activities that keep everyone engaged and included, which really makes a difference. Most of all, the place has such a strong family feel; it feels welcoming, friendly, and full of warmth. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she's so well looked after.

Mum had been with Wisteria for over 5 years and as her illness progressed so did the level of care and love. When she joined them we were advised they would care for her to end of life and that was exactly what happened. She wasn't moved from her home to a hospital with lots of others she was kept peaceful and comfortable with everyone she knew and loved around her. The thoughtful touches staff provided in her room bright lights smell and sounds were amazing. We could never thank them enough for all they did and included us every step of the way. The staff are dedicated and caring and for them it's not a job but a vocation. If your family enter here you can relax and enjoy your time with them. Thank you everyone
Thank you for these kind words, they mean so much to all of us.

We have been blown away by the level of love and care my Mum has received since moving to Wisteria House. It is such a difficult decision to take, moving a loved one into a care environment, but the whole team have done everything possible to settle mum and help us in this transition. Mum is loved and cared for so well, the staff go out of their way to understand the residents and their needs - and to provide activities that they know they'll enjoy. Mum loves to help out and when she wants to, she's there giving out cups of tea and biscuits, helping with tasks that make her feel valued and useful. I would absolutely 100% recommend Wisteria to anyone who is looking for a dementia setting.
Amazing, thank you so much for this lovely review! We feel so proud when our residents feel so at ease and at home here, becoming members of the Wisteria family, joining in and helping with tasks that they have been doing all their lives, why stop now!

My grandmother stayed at Wisteria for a few months while her husband was in hospital. I can honestly say they are nothing short of exceptional! The staff were absolutely incredible - I truly struggle to find the words to thank them properly. My Grannie felt like part of a family and during her time there, despite the dementia, I felt like I got my grannie back. Previously she was withdrawn and spent most of her time in bed, but thanks to the warm, social environment and the truly outstanding care she received, she began engaging again and genuinely seemed to enjoy life. They also supported our whole family, keeping in regular contact and going above and beyond to meet our needs. When her medication was in disarray, they had it sorted with the GP within 24 hours. On discharge, they provided a clear breakdown of her meds and ensured a smooth transition. Even now, she talks about returning-despite poor memory in other areas, her time at Wisteria made a lasting impact. I can't thank the staff enough!
