After initial 6 week assessment I was delighted to hear that my wife, Lorna, has been offered a permanent home at La Fontana. Everybody concerned has made the path from our home to yours as smoothly as possible. As her carer the past few years have been difficult and traumatic. However it has been heartbreaking to part with my wife of 60 years, so for me to know that she is being cared for in such a special way fills my heart with warmth and gratitude. I would particularly like to mention, Helen, the manager who has been most helpful and accommadating.
Thank you so much for your kind words John . At La Fontana we pride ourselves that we care and support not only our residents but their loved ones as well. I will pass your comments on to all of the staff. Best Wishes Helen

In these places the saying is 'I know how you feel I worked in a place like that' but that is the point the staff work with these people they then go home and forget, enjoy family life etc. They only care for 12 hours, but what I have noticed about the staff is that they do care. They do put a lot into there 12 hours and it shows, so I do have a new found respect for those people. The home is clean, airy well maintained, comfortable, ok food is not the best. but that personal choice. But I like the fact that snacks and drinks are basicly on tap. and diets are catered for and the staff treat this seriously.
Thank you for your review and the kind words about the staff team at La Fontana. We value all feedback and glad you find the supply of drinks and snacks so good. We continually work on feedback to improve the service for everyone here at La Fontana
Thank you for taking care of him.

Dad came into La Fontana after a terrible stay in hospital. We were very upset with the way he was treated in hospital, but La Fontana turned this round and offered the exact opposite. He was only there for three months but he was treated with dignity and respect. Despite his dementia and conditions he seemed to enjoy his stay. There was always somebody to talk to and things for him to do. The room was lovely. As were the staff. I was kept informed with everything they did and nothing seemed too much trouble. Can't recommend them enough. Sadly, we lost Dad but at least he went in a place that he started to call home.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly sorry for your loss, and it means a great deal to know that your dad felt comfortable and cared for during his time with us.

NOTHING is too much trouble for the staff whether it be sitting and having a much needed chat with a resident, or making a cup of tea for a visiting family members. My grandma only spent 7 months at La Fontana, but in that time she found peace, a sense of belonging and renewed joy in the community and for that I'll be forever grateful.

My husbands care is generally very good, My only grumble would be that he often has no underwear. Today he has only one pair of pants in his room, having supplied several dozen pairs, I think this is not a good situation!

From the moment I walked into the reception at La Fontana, I felt cared for. The receptionist provides a warm welcome, which spreads throughout the whole building. My incle's bright stay in a large, well-equipped en-suite corner room overlooking the surrounding beautiful countryside was an experience our family will treasure. La Fontana is a stunning building filled with compassionate, hardworking and dedicated staff. Every time our family visited, my uncle was being well cared for, his carers always made time to speak and in the end, went above and beyond to comfort and support us. Thank you, La Fontana.

Overall the staff and management of La Fontana are very helpful. The level of care is excellent and they do what they can to help with a smile and pleasant attitude. When there are particular times of difficulty, medical need/emergency they are very thorough and understand extremely well the regulations and laws protecting both resident and family wishes (as in power of attorney). We cannot thank the management and staff enough for being so kind and welcoming, always willing to help when there are particular issues, willing to listen, understand and empathise. If there is anything we would change it's the language barrier from some staff but know all have a reasonable level of English.
