My father recuperated at Kimberly West for several weeks following a hospital stay. We could only visit a few times as it's such a long trip. The staff couldn't have been more helpful in keeping us informed about dad's progress, enabling regular telephone contact and organising a daily newspaper to be delivered. When we visited everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful; the property is modern and conspicuously clean and extra covid regulations are in place. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
We are very pleased you couldn't recommend us highly enough. Thank you for your lovely words.
Beautiful home with amazing staff who are always happy, inviting, and compassionate. They always keep you informed of how your loved one is and while my father was not with them long before he passed away, they made my father comfortable and showed us we matter.
Thank you for your lovely review - we will ensure that it is passed onto the team at Kimberly West.
Kimberly West took care of my Mother in the last 21 months of her life and she died peacefully at 99 years. My Mother had Parkinsons Disease and was Registered Blind and needed full care and assistance. Wessex Care and all their staff provided wonderful care and support at a continual and consistently high standard. Without this support, our Mother would not have lived to such a ripe old age. We know from our visits my Mother was happy and comfortable and this gave our family great peace of mind, we never had any concerns about her care. During Covid we were able to set up regular Zoom Calls. The home is modern and purpose-built and is very clean and welcoming. There are hoists in all the bedrooms and public areas which makes it easy to support residents of limited mobility. The gardens and flowers are very well tended in the spacious outside areas. The Nursing and Care Staff are committed, experienced, and very dedicated and our family 100% recommend this Care Home. Thank you.
Thank you so very much for your feedback. The team work so hard to maintain the high standards that we have and will be overjoyed to hear of your positive comments especially during the past 18 months that have been difficult for all involved. It is our privilege to care for the amazing people we do. Thank you again.
Kimberly West is a care home that is staffed well and very, very clean! It runs a tight ship which I like and any problems are soon sorted out. Treatments and medication are kept in check and if any problems I am always notified by telephone. Clothes and healthcare are excellent and clean every time I visit. All the staff are polite and very friendly and are available if I need to seek advice on care.
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely response. Kimberly West have a wonderful staff team who work very hard to maintain such high standards. We really do appreciate your feedback.
In general, care is good and a few small things if addressed could make this an outstanding home. The smell of urine needs addressing - very strong in some bedrooms. Cleanliness was good but has become poor over the last few months. Floor dirty, cups for residents very dirty. The staff do not speak much to relatives.
Thank you for your feedback and I do mean this. We do not always get things right and so value when matters are raised with us so that we can correct them quickly. However, I am also aware that you had raised these issues previously and the manager tried to phone and then forgot to follow up due to...
My husband appears happy, content and well looked after. However, he never asks for anything and therefore relies on the empathy of the staff e.g. extra drinks, having fruit between meals, changing the CD in his machine and being changed if he wets himself. Understandingly all the staff cannot have the same level of empathy with all the patients but they are lovely and hard-working, caring staff.
I will ensure all the staff get to see your kind comments. As you know it has been a difficult few weeks with all the changes that were required to meet the challenge of the COVID-19 virus. The team are holding up well, some having moved into local staff accommodation away from their loved ones to...
