My mothers care has been very good, the staff have been very supportive kind with mum and myself. I felt very supportive in mums final days and throughout her stay. Mum enjoyed the entertainment/activities and if there was something that could be worked on I'd say activities at the weekend. Would recommend this care home to friends and relatives. Thank you for her care.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We are truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience. It truly means a lot to us, that you felt supported throughout your mum's time here, especially during her final days. It was a privilege to care for her, and we are so glad...
Have not had many problems - my only concern is some of my friend's clothes seem to go missing - he wears items that are not his - clothes are kept clean by laundry. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. Some days are not good for visiting. Soft menu food does not seem to vary - can be boring. My friend is happy there - it is hard to get to as I don't drive and am disabled myself - can only visit every other week. Covid regulations have been well maintained.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it. We are pleased that your friend is happy at Ifield Park. We are sorry to hear that you have concerns your friend is wearing clothing not belonging to him and his clothes are going missing. We have looked into this, as we were not aware of your...
Excellent care staff, engaging residents in all activities. Made to feel very welcome on my great gran's 100th birthday. It was truly an amazing day. Thank you.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we really appreciate it. So glad you all enjoyed your great-gran's 100th birthday. Such a huge, happy occasion and so lovely that all her family were able to celebrate with her.
Came here for my wife's nan's 100th birthday. Fantastic experience, super staff, best care home I have ever visited. Couldn't fault anything.
Thank you so much for writing such lovely words, we really appreciate them. We aspire to make all our residents and family and friends feel at home and welcome here. It was such a wonderful day, with fun and laughter had by all.
The care provided is excellent, the most wonderful, amazing and caring staff from management to care staff. We visited for my grandmother's 100th birthday, all my grandmother's family have been made so welcome, they have made a special day wonderful. I will never forget the kindness shown today, wonderful memories. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely, kind review, we really appreciate it. We always love to welcome family and friends of our relatives. Especially on memory-making events like a birthday and when it’s a 100th birthday, it’s even more of a special occasion!
Ifield Park Care Home (Woodroffe Benton House) have supported, reassured and cared for my mother over the last two years. The frightening transition of losing her memory has been kindly supported. The Covid-19 experience facilitated visiting when possible and recognised the benefit of familial social interaction to individuals with memory impairment. The staff are kind, caring and positive in their behaviour. I have been very impressed with their care of my mother.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We really appreciate it. We understand that residents' needs change as time goes on and those changes can be scary for both the family and their loved ones. We adapt and change our support to reflect each resident's needs as they...
Mum has only been at the care home for a few months and what a massive difference already. The staff are friendly and it really feels like a family environment. Staff communication is great. We as a family are happy with the service provided.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We really appreciate it. We understand the first few months are always a worrying time for family, so communication is key to putting your mind at rest. We are so happy that Mum has settled in well and that you have seen such positive changes.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the excellent care shown to our mum during the time she was at Ifield Park in Woodrolfe Benton House. This was of particular note in her end of life care where her increasing needs were attended to with the upmost kindness and compassion. As a family, we too felt looked after and supported. We send a huge thank you to all the staff who have helped our mum over the last 2 years.
Thank you so much for your lovely, kind review and for taking the time to write this. We really appreciate it. We strive to provide the best care for our residents at the end of their lives. We consider what matters most to them and to their family. We give support, comfort and care to enable them...
I was quite worried about finding the right care home for my mother, but I needn’t have been. My mother is very happy there and well cared for, which is the important thing. She always says how good the food is. The staff work very hard and are very friendly and welcoming.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, we really appreciate it. We strive to support both the families and their loved ones, working with and involving you as much as possible, as we know it is such a difficult decision to make and we are so pleased you feel assured you made the right one.
My mother was unwell and I received a call from the staff to advise me of Mum being poorly. I went straight to the home and they were so helpful and caring for both Mum and myself, nothing was too much trouble. They were all so helpful, it put my mind at ease to know that my mum was being so well looked after and notifying me at all times they were amazing. Thank you to all.
We absolutely love having your mum with us, all the staff in Woodroffe Benton say she is a joy to care for.
