It's wonderful to hear that your mum has settled in so well at Orchid Care Home. Knowing she's happy, well cared for, and surrounded by such a dedicated team must bring so much comfort to your whole family. Your kind words are a lovely tribute to the staff and everything they do.
My mother has only been in the home for a short time and we were invited to a Mothers Day tea. It was so well organised with lots of beautiful personal touches. We had a lovely afternoon and the staff were extremely attentive. Well done to all of them and a big thank you.

Our mum has been at Orchid coming up to 3 years. I've often described some of the carers as adopted family. The trust we build and the comfort we get from knowing our mum is in the best place. It is massively important and reassuring to us.
Congrats to all that work there. You make a huge difference.

My sister and I have both our parents as permanent residents in Orchid, and since our mum joined in June 2025 (followed by dad a couple of months later), we have been extremely impressed in almost every aspect. We visited quite a few care homes in Swindon, and Orchid stood out as the 5 star option. We haven't regretted our choice whatsoever, and although there are always small and rare 'niggles' and we had the odd teething issue, everything that hasn't been perfect, has been addressed and dealt with very well by the management and the brilliant staff. Everyone at Orchid is lovely, friendly and very approachable. In the 9 months, we have rarely seen a staff member leave, so the staff-retention must be high. This indicates that the carers and staff are happy, and happy staff=happy residents=happy families! We visit Orchid most days, and each time we leave, we go away knowing that our parents are in the best possible hands, and are being looked after by some excellent carers.
Thank you for your kind words and for the amazing feedback regarding the care and support that your relatives receive at Orchid Care Home. It is invaluable and also validates the hard work of the entire team.
The food and the staff where excellent, just a really nice day. Looked after my wife with kindness and respect.

Orchid is kept very clean and feels like a real home with lots of fun and laughter and as regular visitors I can say we are alway made to feel welcome . We are alway kept informed of any health issues or concerns and are confident that everything that is done is always for the best interest of the residents.

Thank you so much for these kind words of recommendation, it is lovely to hear that your sister has settled in well and you are confident in the quality of care she receives.

I can't fault the care Mum has received at orchid over the years. The staff really care about their residents and go the extra mile for them continually. Most importantly, Mum is very well cared for. Compared to her previous care homes, she's much calmer and more settled which means she feels safe...
The home is always clean and well maintained. There always appear to be sufficient staff who are friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Food appears good and plentiful for those with a healthy appetite. Mum needs to be fed but is never rushed, feeding is at her pace.
I'm always kept up to date about Mum's care. I'm unable to visit as often as I'd like but I trust the staff completely. This is Mum's third care home and I don't have to worry about her constantly since she's been with Orchid. Thank you.
