I recently spent a fortnight in respite care. At the initial interview with the welcoming, efficient and empathetic Unit Manager, she told me that Dean Wood aims to provide a home from home - and it succeeds. The staff are friendly, cheerful, capable and endlessly willing. The rooms are...
Residents are encouraged, if they wish, to take part in a varied programme of activities and events, and make use of equipment like board games and jigsaw puzzles. The well-being and dignity of residents are of paramount concern. Security is complete but unobtrusive.
I should be very happy, if necessary, to return.

Mum was happy and settled in straight away. This was a big relief for the family that she was safe and contented.

I am only 60 but need ongoing nursing care which Dean Wood provide! This home on my first impression was it felt more like walking into a hotel than a nursing home. The layout and facilities makes it feel different from the others. Staff are brilliant and always there to help where ever and whenever it's needed. The rooms are comfortable. Thank you, Dean Wood for helping me to settle in.
Thank you for your review and kind words about our staff. I'm so glad to hear that you are settling into your new home.

I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and attention they provide to my mother-in-law. The staff are very friendly, always smiling and always make time to talk to us and update us on her condition whenever we visit.

In my wife's last days I was there almost all the time, and they looked after her as if she was one of their own family, I cannot praise them highly enough.
It was a very sad and quick ending for my wife but I know that everything was done that could be done for her.
I still visit the nurses and carers every week and will continue to do so because they became part of my family and I will always treat them as such.
They are amazing and they continue to support me by just being there for me to go to when I need to.
So sorry to hear of your loss, please accept our condolences. Thank you for your review. It is so nice to know that you feel that the staff are part of your family and still visit them I'm sure that they will continue to support you. The Bupa Customer Care team.
Residents and visitors had excellent care and support from all staff, the staff took the time and trouble to find out residents interests and made her stay as comfortable as possible during her last hours. Staff were very caring ad supportive to her close friend.
