Bletchingley & Wellington

My father was referred to Bletchingley in June 2021 aged 93, at first temporarily after a fall at home and a spell in hospital. After a short while, he surprised us all by saying he would prefer to stay on rather than go home and live independently. Since then, he has continued to describe how happy and cared for he feels at the home. The staff are attentive, responsible and understanding of his specific needs which are basically to be left alone but monitored closely. He is always clean and well-fed, his medications are administered precisely. Staff bring the phone to his room for daily calls, and his room is warm and clean. The family couldn't be happier with his placement, he has spent a happy 18 months there.

I would recommend this home to any prospective residents.

When it was my dad's birthday everyone wrote on his card. They also made him a birthday cake which we all enjoyed. The staff made this day very special for our family. It is a very well-managed care home and we can highly recommend it.

I live in Ireland and visited my brother who is a long term resident, the staff were so welcoming and so helpful. My brother is getting great care he has a lovely room warm and comfortable which is very reassuring when I live overseas.

Mum was looked after really well. Unfortunately due to her mobility, she was unable to participate in activities in the day room but from what was seen in the newsletter it looks like the residents are kept amused during the day. Really cannot fault mum's care whilst in the home.

My father was placed at Bletchingley & Wellington Nursing home to recuperate after being in the hospital. From the outset every one of the staff has been brilliant, exceptionally caring, welcoming and keeping us updated at all times. My father, the employees and the home are always immaculate. He likes to do his own thing and they are very accommodating. He has several health issues and whatever the situation everyone is patient, kind and courteous. My father has now decided to become a permanent resident and we are amazed as he had always been against going into full-time care. I feel this is due to the wonderful staff he regards as friends. I would also like to say this is a lovely place to visit him. Thank you Wellington for all you do and for giving us peace of mind.

My friend a retired nurse with multiple health issues and dementia was moved to Bletchingley & Wellington after other homes had failed to meet her complex needs. They succeeded where other homes had failed her. All the team were kind, respectful and professional in their work. The concept of Advance Care Planning was understood and actioned with the agreement of the local GP (at my request soon after admission) Thank you Bletchingley & Wellington.

Having had a bad fall followed by three weeks in hospital I'd lost confidence and stamina and felt very vulnerable. The six weeks I spent at Wellington House helped me with this. All the staff were very kind and encouraging and the environment was welcoming. I would've found returning home much harder without the help from Wellington House.

The staff do an amazing job under daily difficult and testing circumstances. Our family have great respect for them.

My mother has just spent six weeks in Bletchingley and she couldn’t have been more pleased. She was treated with care and respect at all times. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful nursing and care staff. She also enjoyed the food. Thank you to all at Bletchingley for looking after her so well.
