The staff at Stratton House are an outstanding team who all fulfil their roles whole-heartedly and contribute to making it the welcoming, happy and nurturing care home that it is. Mum benefits enormously from the exceptional care and kindness that she always receives. She feels very safe and greatly appreciates the gentle and compassionate way in which she is given every assistance. I am really impressed with every aspect of the management and care at Stratton House, and value the warm and friendly way they include me as part of its community.
I always feel welcomed when arriving at Stratton for a visit. Staff are well-informed and ready to brief me on my friend's well-being. They all show care for the residents, and at times when needed, endless patience.
Mum is now over 100 years old. She recently had a stroke and the Home welcomed her back after a short stay in hospital and and moved her into a more appropriate room to enable the staff to better care for her.
I could not believe such a level of care was available. It has transformed my last years nothing it too much trouble. Care and attention is given to all they do.
From the moment I first walked into Stratton House I felt it was a warm, vibrant environment that was exactly what my uncle was looking for. 18 months since he moved in he is still very happy and the help and support he receives from the team is excellent and very much tailored to his needs. I just want to say a huge thankyou to the whole team at Stratton House for their care and support for my uncle.
Stratton House offers everything that I had hoped for for Dad and more. The outstanding feature is superb, loving and attentive staff who are, and have been, a comfort for him and for me/us as his family. We are always welcomed. Dad has been very unwell sometimes and the medical support which has been provided, in tandem with the hospital team, has meant that he was able to remain in the home, as opposed to being admitted. His ongoing need for medication and district nurse help is overseen by the senior carers who ensure that Dad is as comfortable as is possible. After ten years of dementia-affected life Mum passed away in her dementia care home last month. Dad was supported by the concern and practical help from the staff and on occasion was taken by them to Mum, when there was urgent need for him to get to her, and whilst I travelled to Bath. On the day of Mum's funeral many care and admin staff came to wish Dad, and us, well which was such a boost for our spirits.
If it hadn't been for Stratton House's staff, managers and pastoral care I wouldn't be in the position I am in now- much more mobile and look forward to waking up every day. This is a family with lots of love and care.
Stratton House provide great care for my Mum and I have been very pleased with everything they do. Mum can sometimes not be the easiest of people to look after and the staffs focus on providing great care and showing great patience shines through
Mum has now been a resident in Stratton House for over 2 years and the difference between when she arrived and today is extraordinary! She is settled, happy, more confident, healthier and much more sociable. All the staff, without exception are first class. Stratton House is a home rather than an institution with easy chairs scattered around, a cosy and well-stocked library, a lounge and a drawing room. The activities program is full and very varied, ensuring that there is something to interest everyone and the delicious, fresh food on the menu is excellent. Huge thanks to everyone in Stratton House!
Stratton House has been everything I hoped it would be when my father took up residence. I viewed six different homes prior to this. My first overall impression was of a well integrated and cohesive care team with a well established manager and a responsive approach to its residents. I have not been disappointed. There is a lively community of caregivers who are always willing to listen and provide the care and support needed by the residents. I have also been surprised at the way I have been made to feel part of that community being offered cups of tea and a friendly smile or chat. Dad has thrived since he joined and has been very happy. The activities that he has taken part in have been wonderful. From ice skating in December, in a wheelchair, to cake making, arts and crafts, musical performances, therapy dogs and a trip to the pub this June. Stratton House has supported him to really enjoy his later life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home.
Stratton House was the perfect choice to return to if independent living was no longer suitable. The home is comfortable and has a cosy ambience. The main attribute is the staff, warm friendly and engaging. There is a great effort to "entertain " residents with a wide variety of daily events. The food is wholesome, well-presented and restaurant quality.
My father was always against the idea of 'going into a home', but home in the best sense of the word is what Stratton House has become. It feels more like a country house as you walk in and residents can have their own furniture and possessions in their rooms. When asked how he is, my father will tell anyone that he is well looked after and the staff and food are wonderful. There are always more activities than he is interested in attending, but staff are constantly seeking out the interests and suitable levels of activity of each resident - even those who are bed-bound have regular assessments. The staff team seem harmonious and very caring with good leadership from management.
A caring, warm and very professionally run home where residents are treated with respect and dignity. Their social, mental and physical needs are closely monitored and sensitively responded to.
My mother-in-law has been a resident in this home for a few years now. I can honestly say I believe she receives the best care possible. The home always smells clean. The staff are very good and take care of her needs. The food is really good and she praises the laundry service. A very important factor for her. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to others.
We were so lucky that there was a vacancy when my father came out of hospital following surgery. He was reluctant to give up independent living but could see it was the only way forward. The staff are attentive, welcoming and warm, and I can not praise them enough. He has the opportunity to be sociable when he wants to, but the staff respect the fact that, at times, he just wants peace and quiet. Beautiful grounds too.
The atmosphere at Stratton House is similar to that of a quality hotel. All staff are very pleasant and helpful and treat my friend with utmost care and the food is great. No request is a problem, which helps in reducing her anxiety.
Stratton House is a happy and caring home. The staff are friendly, caring and responsive. There could be more variety in activities, such as invites in such as charities, liaison with a nursery for activities, basic cooking i.e. rolling and cutting pastry for jam tarts if residents agree, and slightly too much dependence on karaoke. The food is good, although the variety of vegetables could be increased. Staff really do make Stratton House the client's home, for example enabling my mother to eat tea in the garden on a lovely, sunny summer evening. Overall, I am very pleased with the care that my mother receives and I feel able to discuss issues with staff.
My father has been a resident for 18 months. He was quickly made at home and the staff at Stratton House bent over backwards to accommodate his needs. Over this time we too have been made to feel a part of the Stratton House family. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the care is delivered with a lightness of touch and a smile. Thank you.
My mother wanted to move here as some of her friends had lived here, good choice. It took a while for her to settle in but now she is like part of the establishment and seems to be well loved by staff .The home is clean and tidy and it's like another world away from the stresses of life.
My father took a while to settle, having had a five-month hospital stay during the latter part of the pandemic. The staff were patient and worked hard to meet his needs. He is now happy, settled and much healthier than before he arrived. The staff are quick to notice any problems and are always kind and responsive whilst solving these. Having observed how the staff interacts with my dad and other residents during the past year, I couldn’t recommend them more highly! Whilst the home is a bit of a warren of passages on the lower floor as it is in an old building, it has a stunning garden and the toilet and bathroom facilities are all kept very clean.
