My Mum was 99 in December 2025 and had a hospital appointment on her actual birthday. I thought it would be lovely to take Mum to Willowbrook on the day before her birthday to celebrate with staff and residents before Mum went into Respite on the 19th December.
We decided to have some lunch with
Mum and my husband, Brother and Sister in law came too.
All the team did Mum proud. We didn't
know they had booked the private dining room for us. They had also put banners and balloons in the room for Mum.
The chef had baked Mum a cake which was beautiful and they even gave Mum a Birthday Box from all the staff/team.
It really made her day so again, a huge thank you to everyone involved.

A lovely warm welcoming home, superb staff - so very friendly and caring. Comfortable and light rooms excellent facilities, good range of activities.
Meals look tasty, lovely restaurant feel with linen napkins and printed menus.

My mother in law is a resident at Willowbrook view, she has been there since April 2025,
I can not praise the staff and facilities enough, everyone are so friendly and helpful and my Mother in law has settled in so well.
There are fantastic activities and entertainment to engage her each day and
she loves going out on the trips too..
Truly lovely place with a beautiful atmosphere and welcoming feel..

I found the staff all very polite and hard working, plus always willing to stop and talk and, more importantly, listen to the residents and their families. The care home is always clean and welcoming.

The care and attention given to our friend and ourselves as visitors showed that the care home has the best interests of everyone at its heart. This is something very rare these days and is to be applauded. Care is a vacation, and Willowbrook has been blessed with a great team. They spent a lot of
time trying to ensure that they could meet our friends' eating requirements. Yes, it's a new care home and always learning to further their team, but person centred care time and a willingness to go the extra mile is an excellent start for clients, visitors, and to have happy staff.

A lovely home, with great staff and facilities.
It also has an impressive activities programme.

We were apprehensive and had lots of worries about placing mum into respite care, however, we can't thank you enough for the patience, kindness, warmth and support that the whole Willowbrook team showed mum (and us). This was always going to be an emotional time for us but we cannot praise you
enough for making it an easier transition. We feel so lucky to have found you! Never heard of or have seen a care home as wonderful as this. Thank you!

I'm relieved my grandmother has found such a caring and beautiful home to relax in. Everyone is so welcoming at Willowbrook View. An exceptional care home for the elderly. Thanks for making us so welcome when we visited.

I was worried about doing this respite stay but made my mind up and decided I needed to go ahead,
It has been a good decision. Everyone is kind, respectful, always willing to help and considerate of our needs.

My gran stayed here for a respite stay and she hasn't stopped talking about it since she got home. The home is like a 5 star hotel, the staff are friendly and down to earth and clearly have a passion for caring for the people who live there. They have a minibus for trips out and families can have
lunch together. A really well run home and I'm sure gran will be coming back for another stay.

Over four visits this spring, my wife and I have been consistently impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and outstanding care at Willowbrook View in Swindon. In newly landscaped grounds near canal towpaths, it offers peaceful outdoor activity and easy access to local amenities, including a
nearby pub/restaurant and Waitrose. A memorable moment was seeing two herons while our grandson joyfully pushed his Great Great Uncle along the tow-path, a heartwarming, multi-generational experience.
Inside, the care continues. Staff are genuinely kind and attentive to both residents and visitors, creating a true sense of community. The food is exceptional, and the bistro and bar team go above and beyond to provide compassionate service in a relaxed, uplifting setting. The interiors are beautifully maintained, and we were pleased to see my uncle finish a tailored exercise session with the in-house physical trainer.
Willowbrook View feels like a five-star hotel-with all the warmth of home.
