My mum had a fall and was advised to go on urgent respite care, this was quite late in the day and after contacting the manager my mum was assessed and a room ready for her within the hour. The staff have been great and we are so happy with the care my mum is receiving whilst on her stay.

The excellent, caring staff at the Southminster Residential Home not only provide care to my mother, but also support to myself as I make visits from abroad every few months. I have never observed anything but kindness from each staff member to the residents. My elderly mother is in the best possible place for her final years, and I am grateful that I do not have to worry about her wellbeing while I am so far away. My thanks to all the staff - you are the best!

Would like to thank all staff and Manager for their superb care for my Father. They made his last months of his life comfortable and went above and beyond in all aspects of care. Such a lovely warm home. Thankyou once again.

Unfortunately my mother-in-law had got to the stage ,that we needed a care home quick . With no support from the hospital we contacted the manager at Southminster residential care. Although late she accepted the call and attended the next day at our mother's home for an assessment . . Within 3 hours she had arranged a room for her . On arrival everything was done ,so efficiently ,we were met by a number of staff all so friendly and professional. Everything was thoroughly explained about the care she would receive and our views were fully considered . Once mum was settled we were constantly checked on and asked if we had any thing we needed to know . We left knowing mum was safe and was going to be looked after ,so good exactly what was needed , we needed help and got it thankyou

My mother and father are both in Southminster care home and both are very happy with the care that they receive and I to am pleased with the loving care all staff give to all the residents there, they are part of the family and made to feel that way. All the staff are well trained and always ready for anything, I'm so reassured when leaving them after a visit. The manager and her team keep me updated (phone or email) on anything I may need to know or they need to know, I feel part of there team too. Entertainment in all aspects is always going on from game's singers to visitors bringing dogs flower shows, garden fates, the list is endless.

Southminster Residential Home is an amazing place. So clean and the staff are compassionate and very patient. My father spent the last 18 months of his life at the home and despite his dementia which meant that he was a real challenge for them, he was cared for with dignity and kindness. I would highly recommend them.

My Mum was at Southminster Residential Home for just over a month until she passed away. I cannot fault the home. The staff and management were so caring, supportive and went over and above in all aspects of their work. The feel of the place is home from home, like an extended family. Many of the staff have been there years, which speaks volumes. I am so pleased she was there for her final days. I would highly recommend.

Southminster Residential Home provided my mother with the most professional, thoughtful, kind and greatest care during the last weeks of her life. We are so very grateful to them and appreciate their superb dedication to the people they are caring for as well as supporting their relatives. With greatest thanks and appreciation.

The end-of-life care my mother received was exceptional. The excellent staff would regularly check on my mother and monitor her food and fluid intake. They did everything to make my mother comfortable. Very friendly staff and, management were honest and upfront.

My sister-in-law spent the last three years of her life in the caring surrounds of Southminster Residential Home. We could not have chosen a better place for her. The manager and all her staff are professional and friendly, providing a comfortable, family atmosphere within a safe and well-organised environment. We cannot recommend the home too highly. Many thanks.

My dad required respite care after hospital care following a fall at home, this being one of many in the last 5 months. A previous respite care period in a different care home helped enable a comparison to be made. both care homes provided a safe clean environment and have/are looking after his needs. Southminster excels in my view in so many ways, the home is spotlessly clean, the staff go above and beyond, Dad likes the environment and the food is excellent, it is just about as close to being in his own home as can be. Approaching the end of Dad's respite care period it looks like he will require permanent care and I have no hesitation in continuing this at Southminster.

Thank you to Southminster Residential Care Home, my mother needed respite care quickly. They welcomed her at short notice without any issues and adapted to her needs quickly. The staff have been welcoming, accommodating and capable. The sense of relief in finding SRCH cannot be conveyed enough, I am grateful to them at a time of crisis and need. The care home is set in very nice surroundings which help my mother relax quickly and I found their facilities to be good quality. Once again, thanks for the time my mother has been with you and should we need your services again then I will in touch. Respectfully.

Our mother was a resident at the home for over seven years until she passed just after Christmas 2023. The quality of care she received from the dedicated staff under the manager's efficient management was first-class throughout her stay. The staff are consistently friendly, understanding and sympathetic, ensuring Mother was as comfortable as possible throughout her long period of residence. We are grateful to the manager and her staff, past and present, and are very happy to recommend this home to others.

Wonderful care home with the most amazing staff that all get on so well. All go above and beyond to give the best care for all the residents. Spotlessly clean, has great food and an overwhelming sense of it being home for the residents.

My mum has only just moved in, but already, she is happy, clean and well looked after. Doctor visits once a week, and you can always raise your concerns, and they will always be heard. The food and snacks are amazing. The staff are always there, and nothing is too much trouble.

My husband recently spent a week’s respite care in your establishment. During that time both his physical and mental needs were met with kindness, sympathy and understanding, and the very friendly and caring staff made his stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Although he suffers from dementia, he remembers being with you and has told family members that he enjoyed his visit, and would be very happy to be with you again. Coming from my husband, that is high praise indeed! My very grateful thanks to you all.

They have cared for my mother during her last 16 months of life. They have looked after her with caring and dignity. This extends to end-of-life care received recently, which they allowed me and my siblings free access. They have treated her with dignity and always attended to her needs. Cannot fault the manager or administration in their running of the home.

From day one, the staff have always made my aunt and myself very at ease in such a life-changing situation. The excellent review says how we feel about the kindness that has been shown. Very caring towards my aunt and myself at all times. A very calming environment. We could not wish for better care. Thank you.

My father entered Southminster Residential Home for respite in August. Social workers, upon my return from holiday, decided that my father needed 24-hour care, rather than myself and care workers could give him in his own home. My experience of this home is of the highest standard; the care, time and love that the care in this home was second to nine. My father, after being admitted to the hospital, asked for his final days to be spent here. The love and kindness will never be forgotten.
