Gloria and her team were nothing short of angels. Everything was made as easy as possible for me to settle my Dad into their care. Daily telephone calls to me and monitoring to let me know that Dad was settling. The food was lovely and Dad enjoyed all he ate....most of the time.... he was a fussy
eater! They asked what his favorite foods were when admitted and they did all they could to give Dad what he liked. Activities were a plenty but my Dad was happy to stay in his room. There was always a welcoming smile and someone was on hand to help in anyway they could. When Dad passed away they were with him and were so kind and considerate when making that middle of the night call to me to tell me my dad had passed. Thank you Gloria and your Team, so very much.

Referring to my Uncle who died that day as the 'corpse', and calling his wife at 10:30pm to demand the Funeral directors number was appalling. At the very least understanding sensitivity training is needed. Collecting his belongings the next day, the day staff were lovely and the place seems nice.

Although my Dad was only in Widecombe for 8 days before he died, we found the staff kind and friendly. His room was neat and warm. We were pleased he was able to have family photos around him and he could have music playing as he did at home. We are very grateful to everyone who helped my Dad.

My wife has recently transferred from Widecombe Nursing Home to a more local facility near where we live. The only reason for the transfer is due to being nearer and my mother-in-law is being transferred to the same home. This is more convenient to the family unit as myself, sister-in-law and son
live much closer to the new home.
I was very happy with the care my wife received at Widecombe, and the staff there were very good at all aspects of the care and to myself. As I said, I would have been happy for my wife to stay there except for the distance etc, and this is good for the family unit. My wife is nil by mouth, so food is not applicable.

My mother came here after she was admitted to hospital with a broken hip. She took a while to settle in as she just wanted to be at home, but after a few months she did. She is in a room with a lovely few of the garden and when she's not asleep she is happy. We all noticed that she has looked the
best she has in a long time due to the care she is getting here, which is all we want for her.

I would like to thank everyone in Widecombe nursing home for looking after our mum. She was there for a short while but the care and respect she got from management, the nurses to carers was excellent. They made us family feel so welcome. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

This is a truly wonderful home. Has the feel and smell of home, Not a care home. A small single-storey building, with nice gardens, in a quiet area. The staff are happy and caring, happy to talk and discuss your relative's needs and care. Actively asking, for information on their likes/dislikes to
ensure they have the best experience. It is a warm, clean, safe place, for my brother. Unfortunately, my brother has to be moved due to his personal needs, which I am truly sad about. Thank you to every member of staff.

I am writing this on behalf of my mother and myself, period of stay approx 6 weeks.
Management very helpful and efficient with queries. Food and drink very good, room was clean and tidy.
My father was transferred from the main area hospital requiring palliative care which included a rapid decline
in physical strength. From the very first visit, we were made to feel very welcomed and we could see the staff caring for my father as his condition advanced. They adjusted their care and attention as required.
I will be eternally grateful to the staff for the compassion shown and care given to my mother during his stay.
