My husband is now a resident in Middleton Grove care home with dementia and he can't move. All carers are very professional. We are very satisfied with the staff. All rooms are spacious and very clean. The food is very good, like home cooked. My husband is treated kindly and with a lot of attention. My husband feels at home. We are very grateful to all staff, carers and nurses.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review. It is very reassuring when the families of our dear residents are happy with the service we provide.
Like many of the elderly residents here, on first impressions, Middleton Grove could seem a bit tired and may have seen better days in the past. But behind the buildings facade is a kind, caring and hard-working team of people, who bring Middleton Grove to life and make the real difference. Although young and culturally diverse, the care and nursing team have the energy and motivation to try and make every day as fulfilling as it can be for their guests.
Despite a difficult eighteen months, through Covid and various lock downs, my mum has struck up a genuine friendships with several of the team. So have I and I am grateful for their kindness.
Is it the most glamorous care home in the world? Perhaps not. But does it genuinely care for the well-being and health of the residents who live there? Absolutely.
We are grateful for your kind words. Thank you very much.
My partner was not given the room we were shown for him. There were other people's clothes in his wardrobe. He puts a pillow over his chest because he gets cold, one blanket is not enough. He was wheeled to the lounge in a wheelchair, strapped in and not placed in an easy chair afterwards - suffering from a sore back. Two screaming patients were placed near his room - they screamed day and night. He is bedridden and had no trolley with wheels to pull near him and reach his food and drink. His bell cord did not work.
Thank you for your feedback. Further to a meeting to discuss your concerns and where a full explanation and resolution were provided, I am sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied.
Everything about the home was good, even told the council. Loved the food choices-very tasty. Visits were open and all staff was friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your review and for passing on your compliments to the council.
Staff are very helpful and kind.
Thank you for your review it's much appreciated.
My sister has been very happy with the way that all the team at Middleton Grove have helped her adjust to life in her new home, which was a big ask following hospitalisation and health deterioration (MS) radically affecting her independence. We have been very impressed by the way that everyone has supported her, particularly the activities team, through this challenging time for her. She has kept her quirky sense of self, settled in and made new friends. Middleton Grove have also responded really fast and well to the challenges from the Covid virus, well in advance of coherent central direction from government, which was impressive. All the team, covering all the aspects of the home, are working really hard in difficult circumstances, and it is a sign of a mature and well-organised team that pulls together. I have found everyone to be really helpful, professional and kind. The regular GP visits are reassuring. We look forward to better days after the virus subsides.
Dear Carey, thank you for your kind and reassuring words. I will make sure that these are passed on to the team.
Always keep you informed of the condition of your loved one.
Thank you very much for the positive review and ratings.
I have been very impressed with the standard of care delivered by all the team at Middleton Grove. The activities offered to keep residents engaging is excellent, my friend loves the visits from different animals, the sheep was a particular favourite. At the time of writing this review l am not able to visit because of Coronavirus. I would like to thank the team for keeping me informed on how my friend is and for their efforts in shielding all the residents from this virus.
Thank you for your review Michael and also for your kind words.
Middleton Grove is very clean and presentable. Nurses and care assistants are very kind and helpful.
Thank you so much for your 5 Stars all around, Gakleen.
The care is very good. Staff are very patient and caring.
The staff have been great since the Coronavirus outbreak, kind and supportive and offering online video calling app.
Thank you, Cassie, for your review. It is certainly challenging times and we are doing our level best to keep families connected.
Staff are caring and keep me informed of my dad's health. I feel he is being well looked after.
It's early days as Mum has only in the home for 2 weeks, but all seems well the home seems to run well.
Fantastic caring staff.
Great staff. Nothing too much trouble.
In my view everything is satisfactory - since my uncle has been here, he has been well looked after.
Thank you for your review and kind comments.
All staff are brilliant, I have no worries regarding care, well run.
Thank you for your kind words Derek. I will make sure that they are passed on to the team.
I think Middleton Grove is overall a good nursing home providing reasonable personal care and excellent food. However, I would like to say that there are not enough staff on each floor (only 2). If they are caring for a person then the other residents are unwatched in the lounge.
We have discussed the issues you have brought forward.
When you go to home everybody is very friendly. The building inside is very comfortable and well maintained. My mum's bedroom is very sunny and inviting. Guests are very welcome.
Thank you for your review and kind comments Susan.
My friend has not been able to take part in many activities or to eat solid foods. The staff are very kind and he is very well looked after. Visitors are made very welcome too. My experience with homes has been mixed but I cannot fault Middleton Grove during the 18 months I have visited regularly.
Thank you for your kind words. I will make sure that these are passed on to the team at Middleton Grove.
