My mother has been very well cared for for the last 6 years. When she first became a resident she was very active and they encouraged her to participate in all the ectivities they organised. As her dementia worsened they adjusted her care and provided one to one care. The staff are very friendly
and caring and all get on very well together. They are inspired by a well motivated management team.

A real home from home environment with friendly & caring staff who really do care. As a family we have always felt that our mother was safe, cared for & most importantly treated with dignity. I would 100% recommend Applewood carehome.

Excellent on every level.
The staff are happy and caring - I have complete confidence that my husband is safe and cared for.
There are always lots of activities and stimulating games, also visiting artists and interactive animal visits.
I am always made to feel welcome, the staff know
me by name.

My mother has additional needs in addition to dementia, and the staff at Applewood take excellent care of her emotional wellbeing as well as physical - cannot recommend Applewood highly enough! The sign on the wall says "we are visitors to your home" and this is a true representation of the levels
of care.

My husband has been a resident for almost 4 years and I am delighted with the care he receives. He is bedridden, & non verbal. The staff are wonderful with him making sure he is comfortable, given the respect that he deserves & especially excellent care. He is given lots of one on one time which I
can see he enjoys. He's able to view the entertainment that goes on within the home via a smart tablet.
The staff pay attention to small details that make a residents stay more like home from home. Staff are amazing all of them.

Applewood provided end of life care for my husband, he was admitted to Applewood with a progressive illness and throughout this difficult journey he was looked after with kindness and support. As a family we were also looked after with equal kindness and support. I really don't know how we as a
family could have navigated our journey without the support we received, we will be forever grateful. I should add communication between us as a family and Applewood was faultless, calls always answered promptly and I was always informed immediately of any concerns or worries. Thank you to everyone at Applewood, the staff work as a team and every member of staff contributed to his care and well being.

My husband was admitted to Applewood Care Home in November 2023 at the age of 86, suffering from dementia. After a difficult period of transition for my husband and the much improved understanding of his needs over time the care provided keeps him calm and well settled.
The staff are all very
friendly, working efficiently as a team providing a high standard of care. Over time his physical and mental condition have deteriorated steadily and the home has taken the necessary steps to adjust his care to avoid accidents and to provide appropriate stimulation. I'm very grateful for all the kindness and care my husband receives.

Applewood has consistently offered excellent care to my step brother, he has various needs. They treat him with care and respect, always with kindness. I am contacted and kept informed of anything pertaining to him. The staff are friendly, available to answer questions and concerns.

My Aunty has lived at Applewood since October 2019. As her needs have changed and condition deteriorated the staff have always adapted to her and still include her as much as possible with visits, activities etc.
Her dietary needs have also changed and this has been well managed.
The home has a
friendly and caring feel to it- speaking as a relative and a nurse I would highly recommend it. Thank you to all at Applewood.

My mum loves being here. The staff are fantastic I can't fault anyone. They're always friendly and it's nice to hear laughter (mum joins in). The activities are fun, which I usually join in with if I'm there at the time. I know Mum loves it when they go out in the minibus. It's a pity to hear about
the dining room ceiling falling in but hopefully, it'll be sorted out ready for their Christmas dinner.

An extremely well-run home. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. They work in circumstances I could never imagine myself being strong enough to handle yet always have a smile. I am always kept informed of any news from the home affecting my parent's care or well-being.

I have always found the staff at Applewood friendly, caring and will do anything you ask of them. They are always approachable and communicate with us if there are any issues or just to keep us updated. My aunt feels safe at Applewood. I would recommend this care home.

My mother has been a resident for several years, through many stages of Alzheimer’s. The care throughout has been genuine, kind, professional and consistent. Our mother's needs have been met, whether it’s a day out, arts and crafts in one of the homely resident's lounges or in her own room one to
one. Decisions regarding Mum's care are empathetic, data-led and in collaboration with us, her family. It’s hard not being able to provide all the care at home, but now we can be the loved ones, enjoy time with our mother and not worry.

My mother has been at Applewood for over a year now and has settled in very well, and is always telling me how wonderful the care staff are. The activities are wonderful, events and days out, which she doesn’t always join in, but that’s her choice. If the staff have time they will do a one-to-one in
her room which she enjoys. I have always been greeted with caring and friendly staff who have supported me through the last year, any concerns I have are dealt with accordingly. I am kept well informed and I’m so glad I found Applewood. The only negatives I have is because mum will only eat in her room her food is sometimes cold and the laundry is a bit hit and miss. Overall a lovely caring home.

Very pleased with the service and care that Applewood give the patients. Cannot find any fault. Very happy with the whole situation of you caring for my husband. My husband is always very happy and content, which puts my mind at rest.

Applewood lives up to its name - "a care home" - the staff are attentive, passionate, and provide a calm sense of caring. Mum is always treated with respect and dignity ensuring she is happy and content. Applewood is kept clean and tidy with a homely feel. Although Mum can't take full advantage of
the numerous outings and activities, the staff ensure she is kept involved and engaged with as many as possible and always make time to keep her involved with what is going on. Well done, Applewood!

Mum has been at Applewood since August 2020, and I continue to be very pleased with the care she receives and feel the staff are her extended family when I am so far away, which gives me comfort. I know they encourage Mum to join in wherever possible, even though she prefers to be an observer. There
have been some new staff recently, and I've been pleased to see how well she responds to them. It is lovely to be recognised by the staff when visiting and have the restriction of Covid finally lifted. Being able to enjoy a cuppa with her in the afternoon is lovely.
Thank you to the Applewood team for caring for Mum.

My mother and father have been in the care of Applewood since last March. The care they have received has been exemplary. I have been kept well informed and advised. My mother has recently been very unwell, and the care and support she has received have been excellent, always with her well-being and
comfort paramount. The staff are unfailingly welcoming and friendly; they all seem to enjoy their work and cannot do enough for their charges. I would highly recommend Applewood.

My husband spent Christmas and New Year in hospital with sepsis, he was very unwell for several weeks, the antibiotics did their job and reduced the infection but sadly he is now deemed end of life. The deputy manager, the manager and the amazing team bent over backwards so that he could come back
to Applewood to end his days in a wonderful place where people love and care for him. It's meant the world to us.

My Father arrived at Applewood end of February 2021. It was a hard transition for all of the family. He is very settled and happy. The staff are excellent. Angels is how I would describe them. They do activities to keep everyone busy.
They regularly have special visitors such as the ukulele player
and singer. He is excellent at getting everyone to join in. They have a minibus and the residents regularly, when weather permits, go out for an afternoon. I think that the facilities are excellent. In the last eighteen months, it has been extremely difficult with the covid pandemic affecting everyone. Through it all, they have coped marvellously. They get thousands of stars from me. The garden is kept beautifully. The meals are well planned and varied and adjusted to suit everybody's dietary needs. Dad's clothes are always clean and fresh. He has severe dementia and is looked after by all the staff beautifully. I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else.
