A lovely welcome at reception. The staff greet you and my mom is treated with respect and dignity. My mom is free to use her walker to walk up and down the corridor and down the lift and she is safe. She is not just left in her room to her own devices.
The entertainment is varied and all residents
enjoy it. My mom does not enjoy crafts but was encouraged to try flower arranging, painting etc. and surprised herself. My mom is happy here. The entertainers/singers put a smile on all the residents faces who tap and sing along and I enjoy attending as well.

The staff are always friendly and very helpful. I am kept informed when my sister is unwell or had a fall and get regular updated by phone. If there is an assessment to be carried out I would like to know in advance so that I can attend but I am usually informed of the outcome. Overall I am very
happy with my sister's care. She has been contented and flourishes in this environment.

Secure entrance, always greeted with a 'hello' and smile. Staff always introduce themselves or warmly acknowledge when arrive. My grandma is extremely well looked after, she is happy and very comfortable. The food is gorgeous and the variety as good as most hotels if not better. I've regularly
lunched here. Fresh vegetables every time it makes me happy to see how well Grandma is looked after and the other residents. Thank you.

The staff are very kind and always happy and helpful, making sure the residents are comfortable. The activities are varied and fun, the residents seem to enjoy them, especially the singers, and my mother likes them.
I would like to see her room cleaner, but am aware it's a difficulty with her
personality.

I cannot commend the Donnington Care Home and its staff highly enough as in the 4 years my mum was there she was looked after with the utmost care, kindness, dignity and respect by he whole team and for that my family and I remain eternally grateful as my mum was able to live out the last years of
her life in relative comfort with round the clock care.

Mum is much more settled and feels more at home since moving in. The staff are very good at keeping the family informed.

I have known my friend for 23 years, in that time I looked after him as best I could. Since he has been in the home he seems a lot better in himself. He is eating well and enjoying the social side of the home. He looks well every time I come.
