Review from Julie D (Regular Volunteer) published on 19 February 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
When you enter this care home the atmosphere is wonderful.
I was asked to sing for one of their residents voluntarily. The interactions between care staff and residents were totally person-centred. One of the residents wanted to dance, the staff ensured that she got her wish in a safe manner.
Some others were more passive and this was acknowledged and accepted by the staff, gently stroking hands in a non-intrusive way. The food was amazing with choices for everyone. Totally inclusive. Respect and dignity shown throughout.

Wonderful to see/observe such dedication.

Review from Simon B (Son of Resident) published on 12 February 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother moved into the care of the manager and staff at Eleighwater House about 12 months ago and was made to feel very welcome into what feels like a family environment. After the settling in period, she now feels very at home there. The house and grounds are lovely where she can sit out under the veranda with the staff or other residents and make a fuss of the dogs. The staff are very patient and nothing is too much trouble. The food is all home cooked and they all sit together which gives meal times a family atmosphere. I highly recommend this home for its caring attitude.
↩Reply from Tabitha Twidale, Manager at Eleighwater House Retirement Home
Thank you for your kind words, your mother is a pleasure to care for and she is always so grateful for all we do for her. It is nice to see her joining in with more of the activities we provide. She especially enjoys seeing the dog in the morning when she has her first cup of tea.

Review from Josephine (Friend of Resident) published on 23 May 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I am very impressed with the level of care and the homely atmosphere of Eleighwater House. All the staff are extremely friendly and seem to have infinite patience. I love the homely feel, the home cooked food and the support all the staff are very willing to give.
It is truly a home from home. The setting is excellent as there is a beautiful garden and grounds where a lot of the fresh food is grown and residents can wander or just sit outside in a beautiful country garden.
The owners and their staff all show a very high level of professionalism and commitment to making all the residents feel welcome and an instant part of the family is commendable. All the practical side of the paperwork seems very well organised as well.

It is a super place for anyone to retire to and would not hesitate to recommend it. I am hoping that when the time comes my own mother will be able to stay there.
