Residents and family meeting.
Just wanted to thank Jen and all the team for an excellent "Residents and family meeting.
All the questions and issues that were discussed were handled with a high level of openness and positive outcomes for the needs and care of the residents.
A very impressive
meeting.
Well done

I have had the pleasure of engaging with my father's care by watching and observing such an excellent team, as my eyes have seen. Special praise to all and their guide, the manager. Please continue to excel at what you do! Bless you.

From the initial contact with the management of Acorn House, we have been treated with great care and compassion. My mother was in significant distress after several falls and a hospital stay. Her health and well-being declined rapidly. The support from the team helped us to cope during this
challenging time. Constant reassurance and guidance made the transition from home to care for Mum and our family bearable. She is treated with dignity and compassion.
All staff take time to speak to us and always with a smile. Our comfort is also considered, and we are always asked if we need anything, even though they are busy caring for their residents.
Our concerns are addressed without hesitation. I cannot recommend this home highly enough. They have been the right people at the right time, I cannot thank them enough.

The team at Acorn House is excellent, and so is the care. The place always has a good buzz to it, too. Loads of laughter. I submitted a positive review a year ago. Nothing has changed.

Since my grandma has been at Acorn House she has really come out of her shell. At her old care home she would not leave her room now at acorn house she enjoys playing activities especially quizzes and doing her own cross words. She really is doing well, and it's so nice to see how much she has come
on. She's made some nice friends and has settled in so well. The staff treat her like there own grandma and it's amazing.

My husbands mother was in Acorn House 2 years ago. She was treated with kindness, respect and love. We knew it would be the best place for my father. They look after him and treat him with the same kindness, respect and love.

Absolutely fantastic care home!
Such a warm welcoming place, always spotlessly clean.
All staff are extremely friendly and have given my brother the very best care possible.
My brother is so happy and settled at Acorn House, he enjoys helping staff around the home and joining in the many
activities during the day, he also thoroughly enjoys the days out with other residents and staff.
I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody.
As a family, we couldn't wish for my brother to reside anywhere else.

My Father spent his last months at Acron House. I visited every few days to experience life there. He enjoyed the company of other residents but particularly the relationships with members of staff. He loved the friendly teasing and attention, which brought back the twinkle in his eye. I only ever
heard calm-voiced and gentle support being offered to residents even when situations were not easy. I felt that Dad was living among friends. Thank you so much.

All staff are outstanding, so caring, friendly and patient, food given is great, facilities are top standard, would recommend the house to others.

I have nothing but positive and excellent things to say about the Acorn House staff. In all capacities be it management, admin, cleaners, staff involved in the preparation of food etc. A fantastic, caring and coordinated team.

Mum has been a resident at Acorn House for 4 years now. She was forced out of her previous care home during Covid due to our complaints over the lack of communication at the worst possible time and the lack of care that she was receiving. What a relief to have found Acorn House. Mum had become very
withdrawn, was always asleep and did not receive the level of personal hygiene care we expect at her previous home. We can't praise the staff at Acorn House enough. Mum is a different person, happy in her environment, nearly always smiling (she has her off days of course), and rarely asleep when we see her. There's always lots going on, all the staff make special effort on themed days, organise activities, parties etc and try their best to get all the residents involved. Mum has remained on the residential floor at Acorn (rather than dementia where she was previously) and that just goes to show that it is the way the staff look after her that has made all the difference. Thank you to all.

Care that comes with love and respect for every person who resides in their home, like their motto says they work in the resident's home. All of the staff show care and love for the residents above and beyond care. The feeling of a happy place to be is apparent when you walk through the door and all
the time you are there.

My relative has been at Acorn House for over 2 years now. He has gone from strength to strength. They have helped him to improve and better his health.
The home has such a homely feel from the moment you walk through the front doors. It really does feel like home.
The staff are outstanding and
are constantly going above and beyond for all residents and their families.

The support and care my mum receives is great. All staff are friendly, approachable and brilliant with Mum.

My mum and dad both spent the last few months of their lives at Acorn House. My dad was there first and due to the way he received the care, I moved my mum from another care home, after Dad's passing, into Acorn House. I cannot praise the management, care and kitchen staff enough. My parents were
always clean and well-dressed their rooms were always spotlessly clean and tidy. It was always a wonderful environment to be in when I went to visit. The kitchen staff went out of their way to chat to mum and dad and tried their best to give them the diet they wanted. It was always calm and homely. If ever I have to have care, I hope I end up somewhere like Acorn House. Thank you to everyone at Acorn Care Home, Blackburn, you are amazing.

We are delighted as always with the care my/our father receives from all the staff at Acorn House Care Centre. The staff also allow for his dementia personality for which we are extremely grateful. He is treated with dignity and says he's happy there.
(Special thanks to the cook, he loves her
food).

We were lucky to get a vacancy at Acorn House for Mum for when we wanted. They were quick to respond to my enquiry before they even knew the dates we wanted. They made the whole process easy. When I went to see the room I got the impression of a cheerful atmosphere throughout the whole place. Mum
was apprehensive as she had never done a respite stay anywhere. On the day I dropped Mum off, we went to her room. It was warm and cosy without being stifling hot and had ample storage. They took Mum for her lunch in the dining room and she settled immediately. Mum really enjoyed her stay and had settled, joining in, interacting, fully occupied. She enjoyed the morning 'pampering'. She would look forward to staying again if possible.
26 January 2022
The home is run to a high standard. Management and staff work hard to keep the home running smoothly in these hard times. Visitors and relatives are always greeted with a welcoming smile and always kept up to date with news and views of the home. Great job, well done.

I think Acorn House is a lovely, clean and comfortable care home. The management staff are friendly and efficient. Mum is happy to stay there which makes my respite breaks far less stressful. I can leave her without having any worry and know she will be cared for. Mum mentioned that her bed was very
uncomfortable and she doesn't like the meals at lunchtime, otherwise no complaints.
27 November 2021
My mother has been a resident of Acorn House for 6 years. She has always been treated with great respect, care, and dignity. I have found all staff to be friendly, approachable, and caring. The meals are all homecooked with fresh ingredients, and there is a varied menu, and individual needs catered
for. My mother has just celebrated her 104th birthday and I cannot thank the staff enough for all their care and attention.
