Dad was admitted to the care home from hospital just over 3 months ago, from day one, the care received has been Excellent, and he has progressed very well in the short space of time he has been there. Staff are friendly and caring. The home is spacious and clean, with a lovely welcoming reception area and a relatively new garden and patio area - ideal for residents & visitors to sit and relax, and enjoy watching the chickens! Any issues are always dealt with promptly, & brought to our attention. Both myself & my brother live abroad, so our visits are limited, but we have peace of mind Dad is being well cared for and living in a friendly, happy environment
We are very pleased that you are happy with Scissett Mount and that your dad receives excellent care.
Our priority is to ensure residents are safe., well cared for and as happy as possible.
The chickens have brought so much joy to our residents, they are a great...
Very friendly and helpful staff who always have a smile on their faces. I am always greeted with a warm smile and "hello" whenever I visit my mother. If I ever identify any issues regarding the care of my mother, they are resolved swiftly and satisfactorily. The environment is clean, tidy, spacious and safe, and the recent introduction of a new gardening space for residents and chickens, has been a boost to the residents wellbeing.
Hi David
Thank you for sharing your experience of Scissett Mount, we are happy that you find the staff friendly and helpful and note they have a smile on their faces! :)We take pride in ensuring a safe and clean environment for our residents, and prioritise safeguarding people with strict...
My father-in-law continues to receive first class care here. He is treated as a valued member of the community with all needs met professionally, skilfully and with total dignity. He is very happy in his home and regularly mentions how lucky he is to live here. His love of music is well-known by all staff and he has regular opportunities to either listen to music or to sing himself. The many events held throughout the year celebrate traditional holidays and more. All staff are incredibly caring; they truly treat residents as they would their own. We could not ask for more.
"Thank you for your lovely review Jacky, we are very pleased that your father in law is happy living at Scissett Mount".
My uncle moved to SM six months ago. The care staff are lovely and the home clean. Food and care good and communication good if any issues arise. Reception cover good and activities and events always coordinated to support the residents. Good social activities to include family members if wanted.
Our Dad came to receive his end of life care, in January 2025, together with the help and support from Kirkwood Hospice. The compassionate care given to Dad from all the wonderful staff, made such a difference at a very difficult time. Scisset Mount is very clean and comfortable, and no matter what time of day or night, nothing was ever too much trouble for Dad or the family. We would highly recommend them.
"Thank you for providing such a lovely review from your dads stay at Scissett Mount. We are really pleased that this was such a positive experience at this sad and difficult time". We welcome your feedback!Kindest RegardsTracey Wood - Registered Manager
My father in law came here for end of life care at the end of January. Unfortunately he wasn't here long but the time spent there was made very comfortable for him. The reception staff always made us feel welcome at anytime of day or night. The carers were always very kind and caring. Just what we wanted. The home was always very clean and they kept my father in law very comfortable for his last month with us. Thank you.
"Thank you for providing such a positive review about your experience of Scissett Mount, during your father in laws stay.The management and staff are very happy with your lovely feedback".Kindest RegardsTracey Wood - Registered Manager
From the moment dad arrived the staff were very caring and compassionate which is what we all wanted as a family for dad. He praised the staff for all their help and in dad's words they are brilliant.
We found the home very comfortable, nothing too much trouble and very approachable.
Would highly recommend.
"Thank you for providing such a lovely review about your dad's stay at Scissett Mount Care Home. It is great to hear that you dad felt that the staff were brilliant!" You're feedback is very much appreciated! Kindest Regards Tracey Wood - Registered Manager
The resident's rooms are attractive and offer pleasant countryside views.
Thank you for submitting such a positive review about your relative's care. We pride ourselves on ensuring our residents are safe, happy and well. We welcome your great feedback! Thank you.
The nursing home cannot be faulted. It is spotlessly clean, has great general and communal facilities.
However, the most impressive part of the overall care relates to the quality of the staff. From reception to the nursing staff, they are all so attentive and caring.
My nephews have made an excellent choice on behalf of their mum.
Thank you for your kind review. The safety and welfare is at the heart of our care and we take every step to ensure our residents are happy and content. We are very pleased that your sister has made good progress since moving to Scissett Mount Care Home.
First-class environment for the residents including the menu and food provided and the cleanliness of the whole place. Most of all the first-class and friendly staff make visiting our relative a pleasant experience and we feel confident he is being well looked after and enjoys living there.
She loves the trips to the theatre and the cocktail evenings.
She is now enjoying baths which she hasn't done for years.
She responds well to the calm and caring atmosphere created by all the hard-working staff.
Every member of staff is kind, caring, thoughtful and respectful.
It is nearly a year since she arrived so depressed that she didn't get out of bed for three months.
She is now able to enjoy a different life without my Dad and I am very grateful.
Thank you for sharing your experience about your mum's care at Scissett Mount. We take pride in ensuring our residents live a full and meaningful life, whilst ensuring their safety and well-being. We really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Several times a week I have visited my friend. The staff always made me feel welcome and part of a family. The activities of which there are many daytimes, evenings and weekends, something I have never witnessed in any other care home. During my time I was able to observe good practice of person-centred support each and every time something we both appreciated very much. I also saw dignity, respect and compassion shown during my friend's final days, a team to be proud of, I will never forget you.
My husband is well looked after. The cares are so kind.
Thank you for submitting a review about your husband's care. The care, safety and welfare of our residents is paramount.
On the first day, I visited to see if it would be the right setting for my mum I received a warm welcome. I could clearly see the home was person-centred led. I took my mum to see if she would like it, she felt quite at ease with the staff and other residents. From the my mum moved in they provided a warm welcome, offered her a fruit bowl for her room and can clearly see this home is resident-led. All staff interactions are respectful and understanding of resident needs.
The team at Scissett Mount are truly great, they facilitated our grandad's 80th party in a private room with cakes and sandwiches, thank you all for helping us make his day special, as well as the great care you already provide. A special thanks to one staff member in particular for all your help (and for the coffees) you're an asset to the team.
Thank you for providing this wonderful feedback about your Grandads 80th birthday party. We are all so happy that we were able to make this day very special for your grandad and his family.
They are gentle and take time to build a good rapport with their residents.
It took six weeks for him to settle but now he loves it. Loves the staff.
Has a much better quality of life.
Thank you for submitting a review about your father's care at Scissett Mount. We are very pleased that your father has settled and has a better quality of life. It is our priority to ensure our residents are happy and safe.
The care and support my mother received during what proved to be her last month of life was exceptional. All staff were as supportive to us, her family, as they were to Mum. The thoughtful care, concern, communication and compassion were wonderful and made the experience of Mum's final weeks and days so much better than they might have been.
Thank you for submitting a review about your mum's care at Scissett Mount. We are very pleased that you are happy with your mum's care and treatment in her final weeks of her life. We pride ourselves on ensuring the care needs of people in our care are met in a person-centred manner.
Mum has been at Scissett Mount for three months and is very happy with her care. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. When there have been problems, the management have taken the issue on board and dealt with it.
Thank you for submitting a review about your mum. We are very pleased that she is happy with her care at Scissett Mount. It is our priority to ensure that residents are happy, safe and well.
Having visited my close friend many times, I have always been warmly welcomed and find the care home to be very well run, friendly and exceptionally clean. My friend has settled in well and loves her spacious room and says she is well looked after and seems very happy. The management and staff are very friendly and approachable and are always around to answer questions and provide support. There is a great mix of regular activities and this includes events in the care home and opportunities to go out into the community. There are different outside spaces where residents can walk, sit and enjoy the fresh air. There is a lovely onsite vintage cafe where both residents and visitors can mix over a hot drink and cake.
