The service received by dementia affected residents is indifferent at best neglectful at it's median . I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at the worst cases. My friend has moderate dementia . They are routinely found to be covered in faecal matter & smelling strongly of urine & faeces. Every time I visit they need to be showered & changed. The staff always state ".. refused to shower ." Yet over weeks this is unacceptable. We would not be allowed to treat animals like this. The open areas themselves smell strongly of public toilets (faecal matter & stale urine not bleach or cleaning products). The staff seem to have little time to interact with residents. It's all too hard is often the most cited answer to questions regarding hygiene. Resident property must be marked in indelible pen to attempt to help staff return it to the real owner. It goes missing routinely & no one seems to care or has responsibility to see it's found/returned . Constant excuses of I wasn't on duty when....

All the staff are fantastic with me and my mum. Willing to help with my mum and make me comfortable when I come to the home. They always have my mum ready when I come to take her out for the day. Staff are willing to answer your questions if any. Lovely atmosphere in the home on my mum's unit always chatting and having time for my mum and me. Any issues are dealt with straight away by the staff. All the staff make you welcome and feel at home when here with my mum.

They are an amazing bunch of staff. Her companion staff member, in particular, keeps us really well informed with care plan information and anecdotal stories about what Mums been up to. I feel confident that they meet her needs and are quick to react when these change. Mum is really happy there and has made friends with other residents. Victoria has the atmosphere of a home, not a care home. Mum moved from another care home that were failing to meet her basic needs and that had left us very disillusioned with the care system, generally. Victoria Care Home really restored our faith in the system. They did a fantastic job settling her in and she loves it there. Her care is very person-centred with staff who work with enthusiasm. It's lovely to hear Mum giggling and laughing, chatting and dancing because if she's happy, then I am too.

My aunty has been taken very good care of while she has been in there. She was only staying in for a short while and loved it so much. She made her own decision to stay in for good. She has made a lot of friends and she had none before, they went in there and all the staff are nice and caring, even to people who are visiting.
