Southlands Place provides outstanding person centred care, treating clients with dignity and respect. Staff put all the residents first, and nothing is too much trouble even when they are busy. As a personal assistant to a resident whom I take out on a weekly basis, I liaise with activities assistant, nurse practitioners, incl. care staff, all of whom are kind, friendly and approachable.

I am so pleased with Southlands Place for my elderly 103 year old friend. He initially came in for respite yet after a short while we came to the conclusion that he would be much happier and safer at Southlands Place care home after having several falls at home. He has not had one fall in Southlands place and I regularly cook him if he is happy and comfortable to which he replies "oh yes I am quite comfy here and the stay are lovely" I never thought I would hear him say that as he never liked the idea of a home yet Southlands Place has stayed up to the mark.

Wonderful, friendly staff. Pleasant surroundings. We didn't realise we had to phone prior to coming to eat lunch with my friend (misinformed), but were made welcome anyway.

I am very happy with my mum being at Southlands Place. The staff are very friendly and seem to really care about their clients. The building is bright and welcoming with a bistro area near the reception that gives off a good vibe. There are activities to do daily if one wishes, singing, arts and crafts, film afternoons, bingo, music and memories etc. There is a dinning room if one wishes to socialise. With a lounge and dinner room area on each floor with other rooms to sit in quietly if one wishes.

My father-in-law has now been at Southlands for a year. During this time I have nothing but praise for the entertainments girls. Every month there is a different theme and it is always a pleasure to walk in. Their recent autumn window is amazing from the outside I thought the drawings were stencils, but no, everything to my amazement was hand drawn! They are a credit to the home.

The staff are amazing, very kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble. Although cleanliness almost everywhere is good, sometimes my mum's room has not been hoovered as often as I think it should be. Food, I think there could be more emphasis put on vegetables and salads, especially in the summer.

Staff are helpful & attentive. The home is clean and touches such as decent curtains & lamp shades make a homely environment. Multiple activities available. Considerate nurses. Lovely garden. Best care home in the area. I'm grateful my aunt is now a permanent resident.

Our Mum moved to Southlands on December 27th 2024 after spending many weeks in hospital. Initially Mum was very confused, scared and vulnerable. Over time Mum started to settle, put weight on and gained some friends who she readily speaks to. We feel very much that Mum's stay at Southlands has been very positive and her care and dignity has been one of respect and caring. The only reason we are moving here is to be closer to us as a family, the distance is very difficult to arrange visiting. We are an hour and a half away. We are very happy to have us near her again but grateful for all the support Mum has been given.

My mother stayed at Southlands as a respite resident for a couple of weeks and had a warm and friendly welcome, settling in very quickly. This has helped us to make a decision to change this to permanent residency. We have nothing but praise for the staff who are approachable and friendly but also importantly very experienced and efficient. My mother has really enjoyed the activities she has joined in with during this time. Southlands does not have the institutional feel (or smell) that so many homes seem to have and visitors are always welcome.

My father was hospitalised in 2022 with sepsis and pneumonia. On discharge, his old care home did not meet his needs and he was transferred to Southlands Place in August 2022 since that date he has thrived. The care he receives is excellent on both the domestic and the medical side. He is known to both care and management staff. He is treated with kindness and respect. His physical needs are met promptly and professionally and staff attempt to engage with him frequently each day despite his dementia and deafness.

The management team and all staff were warm, welcoming and at all times professional. At all times they had my dad's best interests in mind and made the move into care extremely easy. I can definitely recommend Southlands care home

This care home is very well organised, with very obliging and helpful management and staff. Activities and entertainment were arranged and enjoyed by my wife and me. I would recommend this care home for anyone looking for peace of mind, that your loved one is being treated with the best possible care and kindness.

We couldn't have found a better place for my mother during the last months of her life. She didn't want to be in a nursing home but the compassion, patience, and care shown by the staff made the transition so much easier and she settled in happily after all! Even when short-staffed she was never forgotten or left out of activities (even though bedridden) and felt truly part of the 'family'.

I have always found the care staff very attentive and sensitive to my mother's needs. They are all very caring and compassionate. Keep up the good work and stay cheerful as you are.
