Staff made a god Christmas for all. Food and entertainment good.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, BC. We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed Christmas!
A family member was admitted into Balmoral House for open ended respite care. All staff were great on admission, whatever was needed they sorted it with no problems. Staff/ Management have been great and always have time to listen. very caring place to be and would recommend to anyone!
Thank you for your review, N R. We're so pleased to hear how well our team have look after you and your family through the admission process and beyond and that you'd also recommend us to anyone looking for residential care.
The home is beautiful, well decorated, clean and fresh.
The home does great activities with the people who live there helping to plan them, everyone's choice is accommodates for.
Hi, thank you for your review. The activities are certainly something that everyone seems to enjoy! We will pass on your kind words to the team about pleased you are with the outstanding care they give.
Our experience with Balmoral House is excellent as it's our second time we have used your service. Our only hope is that there's room for us next time we need you. 10/10.
From Dad arriving in June, we, as a family, have been very impressed with Balmoral House. This includes professionalism of the staff, the respect shown to residents. I get a sense that people (carers) genuinely care for the residents and they are treated as individuals. Dad is more alert on visits and not as withdrawn. I can only attribute this to him feeling more secure, engaged with and settled. Thank you.
Hi Liz, thank you for taking the time to review us. We're so pleased to hear that your father has been more alert and less withdrawn since he's been living with us. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to the staff.
My father came to Balmoral from the hospital. He was not very well at all. The staff have been absolutely amazing with him and played a big part in his recovery. The staff are a credit to this home and gave my dad everything he needed. Carers care, and these carers go above and beyond. Always felt welcome. Lovely manager and staff. Balmoral is what caring is all about. Thank you for being there for us as a family and also for the support given to my dad, and for making us all welcome.
Thank you for your very kind review. It was a privilege to look after your father.
The staff are always happy to help - above and beyond.
Thank you for your review. It's wonderful to know you're very happy living with us at Balmoral House. We really love having you here.
We were all scooped up as a family and we all felt loved and cared for.
We couldn't have wished for more and all of the staff whatever their role are like one big family that you become a part of.
The gentle way they cared for her was as though they loved her and she has felt that, which to us, is priceless.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Such lovely words; we're so happy to hear that you all as a family felt loved and cared for. We're very proud to hear this about our team at Balmoral House, and we'll pass your kind words on to them.
Every single member of staff has been absolutely fantastic, from the kitchen staff, the carers and the managers. They go above and beyond and genuinely care. I couldn't praise the home and staff any more.
Thank for for your review, Adrian. Wow! That's high praise, indeed. We'll be sure to let everyone know how highly you think of them.
As my mum grew frailer she became more dependent on the kind care you provided. Your rating is well deserved! My mum liked how she could make it her room and enjoyed the catering. I am in awe of all the events and activities you enthusiastically arrange for the residents. She was a resident for thirteen months. I would echo other opinions that state it is well managed with very friendly staff in a good quality, purpose-built home. My mother loved chatting to the staff who always had time for her. I always felt Mum was safe with you and the care you provided. My sincere thanks.
Hi Steven, thank you for taking the time to review us and your kind words. It was always a joy for the staff to chat with your mum. We'll be sure to let them know how much she appreciated it and the friendly care she received.
My overall experience for my father and I has been outstanding care and compassion throughout. I cannot fault this home or the staff and would recommend it highly. Great food and activities and the management was always available and ran the home like one big family.
Thank you for your review, SS. We're glad you and your father have such positive feelings about the care, staff and management. The chef and activities coordinator will be so pleased to hear you enjoy the food and activities so much.
My wife has been a resident of Balmoral House for 3.5 years and in that time she has received excellent care. There is an experienced and professional management team with friendly staff. Good quality and modern purpose-built home. Would recommend it highly.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, GH. It's wonderful to hear how happy you are with the 'excellent' care your wife is receiving. We will pass on your kind words to the management team and staff.
The staff were excellent, all very hardworking, professional and caring. They looked after the family also. My sister would also stay for meals with Mum to help her settle in.
At first, Mum was in a room in the upstairs area in which she didn’t settle, but the staff were quick to act and soon got Mum moved to a lovely quiet area downstairs.
Hi, Cheryl, we're sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to review us. We'll pass on your kind words to the staff.
My mum moved to Balmoral House care home in February 2023. I cannot thank the staff enough, who have all been wonderful for the care and support they have given her. They have made her feel at home and always show a genuine interest in her well-being. The staff keep me informed if there are any issues. She is able to socialise with other residents during the day through activities, meal times or just meeting up for a chat. Having taught catering during her life she is always praising the quality of the food which is cooked on-site. The atmosphere created at Balmoral is one of warmth, friendship and care. It's a lovely place for my mum to live.
