With the New manager and the activity person Bo, the home is now more lively and more activities going on daily,During Christmas the home have had lots of school choir coming in to sing to the residents which have been so amazing, the home looks like a santa grotto every where, the staff are
always so happy and caring.

I cannot praise the home or the amazing staff enough, they have been exemplary in every way, they have been kind, caring, supportive both to my Father in law and to us as his family, keeping us up to date, informed and supported in what has been a difficult time. We really could not have asked for
anything better, the home, the facilities and the staff are excellent and I really could not think of anywhere better for my Father in laws care.

My mum has settled really well at banksfield, the staff are really friendly and make a difference to my mum's mood.
On her birthday they made a big cake with candles, put on make up and done her nails. She always looks and smells clean. The food always looks good and healthy.

My mum has settled in really well, mainly due to the excellent care and kindness of the staff.
There's a good variety of food on the daily menu.
There are also lots of activities, games, karoke etc.
I would recommend Banksfield due to the friendly atmosphere and the care provided.

Visited my Aunt at Banksfield Nursing Home today and was pleasantly surprised. As always, the staff are friendly, helpful and most importantly caring towards the residents. I was especially pleased to meet the homes new activities coordinator. She was a lovely breath of sunshine and had so many
ideas that she would like to implement for the residents inregards to different activities. I loved that she had residents pictures up and had made a brilliant feelings poster. My aunt is now having difficulty formulating the correct word that she wants to say. The feelings board is clear and simple for the residents to use as a positive form of communication. I look forward to seeing more activities being promoted to help the residents.

Am very pleased with the quality of care given to my friend. All the staff are very friendly and provide good compassionate care. The food is delicious and my friend very rarely leaves any. The premises are clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend this place as an option to consider..

My mum has settled in wonderfully, and I can see how happy she is and social opportunities available to her. The attention to detail in the care provided is commendable. The staff have really understood mum's presentation which is the reason why we could manage at home. Thank you

I spent a long time looking to get my brother into a care home because I do not live in Preston and he was very sure to keep going at home. But over Christmas, he agreed. The process was stressful, from hospital to locating a care home, but once we found it, everything changed. Banksfield Nursing
Home was very helpful from the beginning to the end which, unfortunately, was very short. Admin and manager explained the process and how they operate. The staff seemed happy in their job. We were allowed to bring stuff from home to put in his bedroom and the caretaker put them up without any issues.

My dad was admitted to Banksfield Nursing Home having been discharged from hospital with terminal cancer. In the relatively short time he has been there, he has been extremely well cared for and looked after. He has actually commented to me 'what a really nice place this is'. Logistically, it could
not better as my mum still is at home just 2 minutes away. Overall, I could not be happier with the care he is receiving. He is always clean and tidy. Overall impression has been excellent.

My wife and I can not fault the care and support from all the staff.
The home is clean and tidy always.

Mum's situation is made happier by the wonderful staff. They take time to do the care work but also to sit and talk to her taking interest in the person she is/was.
Mother's unusual food requests are met with helpful suggestions varying an already excellent menu.
All visitors are met with a
smiling welcome and hospitality. My 94-year-old father is helped to book his taxis for his travel home. He visits at least 4 times a week.
Her room is bright and cheerful with her own things brought in to make her more comfortable.
Nursing care is ongoing but any extra help with pain relief etc is prompt and efficient.
Mum's stay at Banksfield started on a discharge to assess but has turned out to be serendipitous. A perfect match for her needs and comfort.

The care that my father is receiving is fantastic. The staff obviously look after the residents with care and compassion. Dad is always clean, tidy and happy and the improvement since he became a resident here is remarkable. The high quality of care is also extended to family and friends of the
residents who are made to feel extremely welcome and it is an absolute joy to go and visit Dad here.

When my husband came into Banksfield Nursing Home, he hadn't had a haircut for over a month or shaved for over a month and had not eaten for over two weeks. He was very poorly. But now, after three weeks in the care of this home, the change is remarkable. He has Alzheimer's so is still poorly but
now he is eating, he is clean, his hair is cut and he has regular showers and shaves.
Very happy with his care at this home.

Having moved here in July 2022., I was made very welcome from day one, the building is warm and modern You are made to feel at home immediately. The home is in a very pleasant area of Preston.
15 February 2022
After going into special measures last year, the new manager and area manager seem committed to raising standards, they have moved the Dementia unit downstairs which I think is so much better for the residents. The staff when I visit seem very caring to my husband and me, especially now they are
trying to recruit permanent staff.
