The nursing home is a lovely place of me to visit. Very nice decor and a lovely space outside.

Mum has felt safe, cared for and enjoyed the care homes amenities, food and setting which is very nice!
Her room was a good size, very clean and well kept. She spent most of her time in the communal areas which she enjoyed.
Really nice care home which I and mum would recommend to everyone.
Thank you Waterside House

Initially it was difficult to identify different grades of staff. As no display board. It was hard to identify who was management, who were senior nurses, who were housekeepers. Everyone was welcoming no matter what level they were in the home. They looked happy and appeared to be caring for the residents who were in the communal areas. I was quiet shocked that the main lift was broken for the whole of my husbands stay. I am disabled and I use a walker and it was a very long walk to the lift that was working. The general cleanliness of the home, considering how large it is, well cared for. There were plenty of break out areas. It was very warm the decor was very clean and maintained. My husbands room was rather small. It did have an en suite which certainly helped with previous incontinence. He was able to " go when he needed" which he was very pleased about. After an initial settling period he became more settled in himself. He loves the food. He was happy to socialise when he wanted.
Thank you for your feedback, it is so appreciated. We are very pleased to hear that you found the team welcoming & caring, & that your husband was able to settle, enjoy his food & socialise in a way that suited him. It's also lovely to hear your comments about the home being clean, comfortable &...
Thank you for your feedback, it is so appreciated. We are very pleased to hear that you found the team welcoming & caring, & that your husband was able to settle, enjoy his food & socialise in a way that suited him. It's also lovely to hear your comments about the home being clean, comfortable & well maintained. We appreciate your comments regarding staff identification. We do have photos of the management team displayed in reception & uniforms are colour coded, however we will continue to review how this can be made clearer. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the lift. The home does have a second lift in operation, although we recognise the distance may have been difficult. The lift in question is an original feature requiring bespoke parts & is currently being replaced, with works due to complete in the coming months. We are really pleased that your husband was able to feel settled & comfortable with us, & we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

My mother has been at Waterside for 4 months and is very happy, feels safe and cared for. There is something special about Waterside, a feeling of being welcomed into a family. The open plan layout means mum can wheel her chair wherever she wants through the various light and airy lounges, seating areas and dining room, giving her a sense of independence. All the staff are friendly, kind and patient and each visit is greeted with a smile and an offer of tea and biscuits! The food is excellent, nutritious and plentiful. Mum's ensuite room is beautiful with a view over the garden and the distant water. I feel content and at peace when I leave her knowing she is safe, cared for, loved and happy. The nursing staff keep in contact with me regularly about any issues relating to her health. A difficult decision to put my mum into residential care after 11 years looking after her, has been made more bearable with the support and kindness from Waterside. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review, it really means a lot to all of us. We're so pleased to hear that your mum is happy, settled and feeling safe here. That sense of being part of a family is exactly what we hope to create, so it's really special to hear you describe it that way. It also means a great deal that you feel at peace when you leave her. We know what a huge decision it is, especially after caring for her yourself for so many years, and we don't take that trust lightly at all. Your kind words about the team, the home and even the tea and biscuits have all been shared, and they've made a lot of people smile. Thank you again for taking the time to write this and for trusting us with your mum's care.

Waterside have created an environment that is safe, loving, bright and comforting and it's location by the sea is very special. Access to the home is 24/7 and this availability gives you as a relative massive confidence that there is nothing to hide. Waterside will live or die by it's staff, from the very top, down to the carers on each shift, there has been compiled a dedicated, empathetic team of people that complete their work with compassion and a softness that can only be applauded.
My Aunt is part of a community that provides constant stimulation and social interactions. She shares lunch with other residents in a beautiful dining room, eating freshly cooked meals sometimes to order. Her condition can make her vacant and difficult to reach, but with perseverance you can get through. The longer she has been at waterside the more frequent the occasions have become. My Aunt is safe, she has stability she is protected. Waterside has given back her dignity and quality of life.
Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review.

My brother-in-law loves the setting of his home by the sea. His hotel as he calls it. The Waterside setting is beautiful. Quality of furnishings, decor, and the attention to detail cleanliness. His complex needs are managed effectively and with a huge amount of compassion. People matter here including the relatives. Palliative care here is exceptional. His pain is managed effectively and his comfort is first rate. The staff are well led. They are all happy and approachable, opening and caring. They all share the same vision and purpose.

A wonderful nursing home, perfectly laid out with wide corridors, two large comfortable lounges and a large dining room. Each residential room is adequate with a walk in toilet/wet room. A lovely patio and garden overlooking Southampton Water which was ideal during the recent warm weather. All the staff that I have encountered have been very polite, patient and very caring. From my experience I don't think that many similar places could better with the environment, and caring staff and management.

Mum has settled well in a welcoming and friendly environment, all staff are helpful and pleasant, she loves getting her food menus and choosing what meals she would like there is a great choice. Mum loves visiting the in house hair salon to get her hair done and has also discovered the fab bath with lights and bubbles and is enjoying this a lot, like that when we visit we are always offered a hot drink and biscuits. Would highly recommend this care home.

On arriving I was made very welcome and the box of items I was carrying for my sister was quickly taken from me and taken through. I was helped with the modern system of signing in and immediately taken to my sister and we were brought refreshments. Thank you.

My sister stays in Waterside, we have experienced care and consideration of the highest standard. Every effort is made to make residents feel at home. There room doors all feature images which reflect their past lives and interests, stimulating memory and engaging a sense of homeliness. Medical wards are appropriately minimised and monitored by the team, liaising as necessary with extended agencies. An appropriate home which for many will be there last residence.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure looking after your sister; we always try to make it feel like home from home, and hope that you, your family, and loved ones were all met with compassion and respect.Warm regardsWaterside House Team
