The care & compassion shown towards my father every time I visit is second to none. My father doesnt do every activity on offer but the one he does do, he appears he really enjoy, the friendly staff have really enriched my dads life, I have nothing but positive things to talk about Badgers Wood,
thank you to everybody involved.

It's now almost a year that my wife has been here. During this time there has always been a great deal of care & respect given which has enabled her to settle in & feel comfortable & happy with her needs & welfare.
Myself, family & other visitors are all treated especially well and activities help
daily routines become more enjoyable for everyone.
Management are always caring, understanding, approachable, always there to listen to problems or concerns. This gives me peace of mind and confidence knowing my wife is in 'good hands'
Other staff (nursing) are always so helpful, hardworking doing a very often hard tiring job but with much consideration. Other support staff are also excellant.

I would just like to say that Badgers Wood is the best care home that I've stayed in. The staff are so friendly and compassionate and caring. They have time for you if you need to talk. The food is great, so much choice. I hope when my time comes that I would be able to stay at Badgers Wood.
Can't
praise the staff enough for their kindness and compassion.

Mum was in hospital for a long time and couldn't return home. I looked around ten-plus care homes and none had the same feeling as Badgers Wood. I knew straight away Mum would love living here, all the staff are friendly and very approachable. There are always activities going on which keeps all the
residents engaged. Mum reports that the food is very good and there's always a cup of tea on offer. There is a real sense of community here. I know Mum is happy and well cared for.

I've been living here for a few months now. The staff are wonderful. Very kind and the food is really rather nice. It's tasty and that's what you want. My room is lovely, the view is nice and it's so quiet.

I come to visit my friend who is a resident here every week. She always sings the praises of all the staff. The home is clean and the staff are friendly. My friend (and the other residents I see) always seems happy and well looked after. They are well-fed, well cared for, warm and happy - what more
can you ask for.

My mum has been a resident for three and a half years and in that time I know she is safe as she always receives the best of care and attention from all the staff. Now I would like to acknowledge, that with the many restrictions placed on care homes in the past two years, how amazing all of the
staff have been as they stepped up to the challenge, with their dedicated protection, devotion, kindness and care. They became family to our loved ones and wonderful supporters to family members by updating us with Zoom and telephone contact. They certainly have been outstanding.

Of course, things are rather different at the moment. However, the staff are doing their best to keep everyone happy and entertained. I've has a couple of window visits and we've talked on the phone several times. Now the vaccines are being given, hopefully, things will soon go back to normal.

My friend recently moved in after a long stay in hospital. It's been hard, and he wasn't happy about needing 24/7 care. However, the staff made him feel at ease and are trying hard to help him settle - eg with his correspondence, food needs as well as day to day things.
Even though things are
difficult, (ie covid), staff are cheerful, accommodating and helpful - my friendly always seems happier.

The team of staff at Badgers Wood are amazing. Even though we can't visit at the moment, staff are keeping us regularly updated with Mum's care and what she and her friends are getting up to each day. We are getting the email updates; thank you. It makes being separated easier to bear. The whole
team are to be commended for keeping everyone safe and keeping everyone's spirits up.

Finding care for your loved one is a minefield. However, the manager and staff have eased our stress no end. Badgers Wood is lovely. It has some lovely, niche ideas and my mum is so happy already. She feels safe, valued and has made friends. Thank you - you are a wonderful team.

Our dear friend has moved into your care home recently, after being unwell. The love and care shown to him have been second to none. We are extremely impressed at how professional all of the staff are, and how clean the place is. Highly recommended.

Chuffed to bits for these guys with their CQC outstanding rating. They all do a great job. Great Auntie is still loving life at Badgers Wood - children in again today, always something to do.
