I came to the care home never expecting to go home and have been given such exceptional care and support to improve my health and mobility that I am returning home against all my expectations. I have always been treated with dignity and respect and I feel I am not leaving carers but leaving friends.
Thank you for submitting a review about your experience of living at Scissett Mount. We are very pleased that you were treated with dignity and respect.
I felt listened to and safe.
The team encouraged me to remember things in a way I could by engaging in conversations related to my interests.
The two weeks have flown by and if I require respite again in the future I would not hesitate to contact them.
The outdoor area at the back is peaceful and calming.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we would love to welcome you back at any time.
Staff are friendly, caring and patient. Continuity of senior staff means they pick up trends in residents' condition. I have never heard a raised voice from staff. Rooms are a good size, clean and with a nice view from most of them. Not the cheapest home available but the level of care and general atmosphere makes it worth it.
Our friend seems happy and settled. She has a lovely room, which is light and airy. The staff are always friendly and helpful whenever we visit, and our friend says that they are lovely.
From the day my wife was admitted, I have seen nothing but dedication from every one of the staff. They will always go that little bit extra to make sure my wife is comfortable. The food is very good, and the staff always make sure drinks are available.
Thank you for your wonderful comments. The staff are very happy that we can support in the care of your wife. Thank you for your continued support.
I chose Scissett Mount after going to look around and meeting the manager and deputy manager. You could tell they were passionate about caring for the elderly. Mum is very happy, clean and well cared for, but the main thing is I know she is supported at all times by all the amazing staff. Mum has dementia but sometimes says, “I love this hotel”.
Thank you for your lovely review - It is an absolute pleasure taking care of your Mum. Thank you for your continued support.
My husband stayed in Scissett Mount for two weeks of respite care. The care was excellent with friendly staff. The food was good. My husband and I appreciated the garden and being able to sit out there. The room was comfortably furnished and had an excellent ensuit. I would certainly recommend it to friends.
Thank you for a lovely review. It is an absolute pleasure and we will pass on your lovely comments to our team at Scissett Mount.
My husband was admitted from hospital after a fall when he broke his wrist due to his MS. He usually uses two sticks or a frame to walk. From the very first moment he was admitted, he was made to feel welcome, safe and nothing has been too much trouble. Every member of staff we have come into contact with, whether carers or management, has proved to be kind, caring and professional. It is a testament to all that every resident has seemed happy and content. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home.
Thank you for your comments. It was an absolute pleasure to meet both of you and from all of the team at Scissett Mount, we wish you both well.
Scissett Mount care home was great for me after I got Covid. The hospital sent me there to recover. All the staff were brilliant and caring, couldn't do enough for you. Food was good. The room was very good. The manager is very good. I would recommend it to anyone. It helped me recover to home. I shall miss the place and staff.
Thank you for a lovely review. It has been an absolute pleasure assisting in your recovery, and we wish you continued good health and happiness from all the team at Scissett Mount.
“Nothing is too much trouble,” says my mum. The staff are so lovely, helpful and friendly.
“I feel so safe and looked after,” says my mum. The staff are extremely well managed and often pop in on my mum to check if she needs anything.
Any medical issues have been dealt with speedily, and the manager has rung us to keep us informed.
We have nothing but praise for the home, manager and her team. We feel confident in approaching the manager regarding any aspect of my mum’s care. She is completely on the ball, even though my mum has only been there a short time.
The best thing we did was move my mum to Scissett Mount.
Thank you for your lovely words. It is an absolute pleasure to be involved with your Mum's care. Thank you for your continued support of Scissett Mount.
I have found the staff to be very welcoming and open to suggestions. They are focused on the well-being of the guests and respond quickly to questions or comments. When I call, staff will take the phone to Mum and make sure she can talk easily. Mum is generally happy at Scissett Mount. I was very happy with how they dealt with the passing of my dad in circumstances. Thank you all again.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and your continued support.
Nice rooms, caring staff and I really like the food.
Thank you for your lovely review and your kind words.
Fantastic home or my brother who has dementia. Arrived in a really bad state, as he has been neglected by people who were supposed to be looking after him. The carers are really good, and he is happy being there. They will go out of their way to help him. He has really perked up in the short time he has been there. These people are an asset to their profession.
Thank you for a lovely review. We look forward to continuing to support your brother and yourself. Thank you for your continued support.
Whilst in the care of the manager and her fantastic team at Scissett Mount, she made an amazing recovery, so much so, that I was able to bring her home yesterday. I'm sure that the care she received played a big part in her recovery, and we are so grateful. I understand that returning home in my mum's circumstances is extremely rare.
Whenever I rang or visited, all the staff were so understanding and professional.
The home itself is very modern and fitted out to a very high standard. I wasn't allowed to go onto the floor or to see her room due to Covid, but the reception area and grounds are very pleasant and quiet.
Thank you for your kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure. We are very happy that your Mum has made it home. We wish all of you the very best in the future, from all of the team here at Scissett Mount.
Mum has only been at Scissett a short time, but my sister and I are very happy with the care and kindness from everyone.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is a pleasure, and thank you for your continued support.
The home is very welcoming, the staff are extremely caring and dedicated. All the facilities are excellent. They gave Mum kindness, support and excellent care and also provided our family with emotional support. I have no hesitation in recommending Scissett Mount.
Thank you for such a wonderful review and such kind words.
Very good food.
Excellent activities.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We appreciate such kind words.
The staff at Scissett Mount are wonderful - communication is key and I have every confidence in the fact that Mum's needs are being met. She is always complimentary about the high standard of meals provided and enjoys the activities and opportunity to socialise. There have been a lot of changes over the past couple of months and staff have worked hard to adhere to government guidance.
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review.
Always found an excellent service under difficult conditions, i.e vulnerable inmates.
We appreciate all of your support.
My mum has been at Scissett Mount for over a year now. The staff are amazing - very professional and personable. They treat the residents as if they were their own family. The home itself is spotlessly clean, and the resident's rooms are lovely. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. Your continued support is appreciated.
