We recently arranged a short respite stay at Hen Cloud for my mum, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, the staff made her feel completely welcome and at ease, especially Richard, which was such a relief as she had been quite anxious beforehand.
The care and attention she received were outstanding. Every member of staff was kind, patient, and genuinely caring-nothing ever seemed too much trouble. It was clear they took the time to understand her needs and preferences, which made a huge difference to her comfort and confidence.
The home itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had a really warm, homely atmosphere. Meals, which were varied and freshly prepared, were excellent and she loved having the option to join in with activities or simply relax in her room.
What stood out most for me was the peace of mind it gave our family. Knowing she was safe, happy, and well looked after meant we could truly relax during the break.

We find Hen Cloud very satisfactory, especially the staff, and since the new management, who are Kristen and Robert, it's been much, much better. I do think the ironing could be better.

Overall we are very happy with the care and support Dad is given in the home.
The staff are all very lovely.
There's been a couple of occasions where he has been damp when one of us have arrived at the home I feel like more regular checks asking if he needs a wee would prevent this as sometimes
he doesn't remember to ask.
Also we appreciate due to staffing and risk assessments that time to do physio with users is restricted, but more one on one time getting up from the chair by himself and some walking would benefit and keep him moving, but fully understand Health and Safety regulations and convenience and quickness of using a hoist.
Also i understand this is due to staffing but making sure he is got out of bed every morning and not left in there to have his breakfast when people have visited who have had to see him Still in bed rather than him sitting out and dressed.
These aren't criticisms but things we've noticed and suggestions for improvements.
Aware of staffing issues.

A lovely care home with up to date decor. It is kept very clean and there is plenty of food provided to the residents. A team of senior and junior carers works well, with any medical issues supported by regular visits of a GP.

I have been searching for a long time all over Staffordshire Moorlands and I felt very pleased to find Hen Cloud House in Leek. Entering the house I was very impressed by the nice reception offering tea/coffee and to show me around the house.
The cleanness is impressive, the colours of carpets and
furniture, the layout of the bathroom, it was the first time that I have seen tablecloths, chairs and decoration so well matched. Congratulations to the staff.

My sister moved into Hen Cloud two and half years ago and she was made welcome and comfortable straight away. All the staff are very friendly and caring and she soon became part of the Hen Cloud family.
She enjoys the lovely food served to her in lovely surroundings and takes part in all the
activities and entertainment offered to residents.
She is enjoying life to the full - Thank you to all the staff at Hen Cloud.

I have been very pleased with the care and support my Mum has received, she has settled in well and enjoys the many activities in which she is encouraged to take part in. The staff are very nice and really seem to care about residents. My Mum's clothes and things always find their way back to her
and her room is kept tidy and clean. She seems to enjoy the food, especially cake and fruit in the afternoons. Her care needs are reviewed and adapted when needed, it was a difficult decision to put my Mum in a care home but it was the right choice and I'm glad I chose Hen Cloud.
