This review relates to the home, its management and staff at this time as I'll write a further detailed review of the intimate care at a later date. Since the home was taken over by new management around 18 months ago there has been a huge improvement in staffs morale and wellbeing. Small things
like a smile, or a dress code for staff is now very noticeable throughout making it look professionally run. The management and staff are extremely kind, knowledgeable and caring in their roles and are equipped to cover most care home medical needs. Training of staff is very apparent in showing this. They treat not only the residents with dignity but us as relatives also and relatives are encouraged to get involved and take an active part not only in the care homes running but in recreation events too. The new management really do have the residents and relatives very much at heart and they listen and take on board any concerns raised and show the upmost respect and kindness to everyone.

The building inside and out is well maintained. The staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful; though very understaffed.

I did not feel safe at home but feel safe here. Everyone is lovely, and they look after me very well. I now feel more settled.

My mother is registered blind, although she is still independent as much as possible. Myself and my siblings have had a few issues with regards to meals not being cut up and wrong meals being given even though I fill Mum's menu is on a weekly basis. Also, clothes being put into the wrong drawers
even though these are all labeled and she knows where everything is as she likes to dress herself. Apart from these issues which look to have been solved by management everything else seems to be ok.

Mum is always well presented whenever we visit, and although she is showing signs of gentle deterioration, the staff do their utmost to respect her wishes and treat her as an individual.
We have witnessed the warmth with which she is treated and she obviously has taken a shine to some members of
staff whose interaction obviously brightens her up.
I have reviewed her care plan, and it appears to be a genuine reflection of her gentle decline over the last few years and the changes that have been made to accommodate this.
When speaking to the senior staff, they always make time to discuss Mum's progress and maintain a positive, but realistic, understanding outlook towards her.
The atmosphere of the home is professional but also friendly, warm and caring.
It is reassuring to know that Mum is being so well looked after.
