Very useful discussion with the ability to discuss Joyce's care plan in detail. All questions answered and it's clear she is being very well looked after.

Knellwood always provide excellent care and entertainment, but they excelled in December (as in previous years) with the facilities provided to residents and their friends and families. Afternoon teas with a Christmas theme were set up in several areas of the home which gave residents the
opportunity to enjoy their family time in a very seasonal environment. The level of organisation and detail by the Activities Coordinators was second to none and the whole experience was provided in an extremely professional way and at no extra cost to the families & friends.

I have been a regular volunteer at Knellwood for many years now. It's a fantastic home, just like another family. I especially enjoy taking residents on trips out. I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a home that goes above and beyond to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of it's
residents

Knellwood is outstanding in its care and commitment to its residents. They looked after my mum, with her complex physical disability with gentleness, compassion and always with a smile. As visitors we were always made welcome, and the staff always had time to answer any questions. It truly is a
family environment, and I couldn't have wished for mum to have spent her final time in a better place. She loved joining in with the many and varied activities.
Don't ever be worried about a loved one at Knellwood, they will be safe, cherished and loved.

My Mum lived at Knellwood for almost 9 years before she sadly fell asleep for the last time on 31st December. She had many a fun time during those 9 years and made new friends in both residents and staff. She was loved by many and cared for with the utmost respect right up until her last moment
there. Every member of staff is amazing in so many ways. It's not just a job to them, they really care, and that shows in everything they do. I'm proud to be included as part of the Knellwood 'family'. A huge thank you to you all.

The carers are so professional and helpful, nothing is to much trouble. The entertainment team are excellent, mum really enjoys the knitting and natter group as well as joining in with the choir. The Christmas events were really special and as a family we were really welcomed and enjoyed joining in
with everyone.

My thanks to all the staff for the care my mum receives. Knellwood is in a lovely setting, the gardens are beautiful and there is always something going on during the day for her to get involved with if she wishes. I have regular feed back from staff so that mum gets the right support for her as an
individual, they are never to busy to make time for her and for us as a family.

I have found this home to be exemplary on all levels. My mother moved in in August 2022. As well as Mum being fully cared for I feel as a family we are all supported in this new chapter in Mum's life. There is so much enrichment available with a super activities team. All the staff are extremely
caring. As soon as you arrive you feel you are in a happy place and very welcome to visit. There are beautiful gardens where events are held or you can just go for a walk or sit and relax. The calendar of events is always full to bursting and a regular newsletter keeps you fully informed of the activities available and those which the local community can also enjoy. All the staff have time for anything you may wish to discuss or arrange such as afternoon tea for mum's friends. Being run by a trust Knellwood's priority is its residents, their care and wellbeing above all else. As my mother said, being Farnborough born and bred - if I have to go to a home I only want to go to Knellwood!

I have been overwhelmed by the care I have received in Knellwood. I came in after an accident that left me unable to care for myself. I felt scared, vulnerable and was in shock. The care and respect I experienced was second to none. I immediately felt safe and cared for. Both staff and carers were
so friendly and kind. They all worked as a cohesive team which showed very clearly in the way they cared and treated me and all residents. If, when the time comes for me to move into a care home, Knellwood will be my first choice. My experience has been second to none.

My mum moved into Knellwood in March 2024, she is fully occupied and very happy.
There is magnificent entertainment from the Easter and Summer fayres which welcomes the local community, to the many resident's outings. The summer solstice party and the family day were a joy to be part of.
The
in-house entertainment is exceptional, everyone involved at the home properly cares for both the residents and friends and families and is encouraged, informed and supported always. Recently the resident's Choir put on a wonderful performance, it was magnificent, lots of hard work paid off, it was perfect.
The activities team go above and beyond, engaging all the residents, there's the knit and natter afternoons, quizzes, Church services and everything in between. The gardens and patio area are beautiful. It's both a sanctuary and enriching to all who enjoy it.
In conclusion, we, feel lucky to have found Knellwood, our mum is cared for every day. Such a special place. Thank you.

I found Knellwood to be an exceptional care home. The care they gave my aunt was second to none in so far as that she lived 4 years longer than the doctors had predicted. All the staff bar none were kind and very caring whilst being consummately professional at all times. The facilities are
excellent and the activities provided are superb and take into account everyone's needs. I cannot fault anything within Knellwood and I came in every day when my aunt was here and now I volunteer.

December was a busy month in Knellwood for the residents. With the staff and volunteers the residents were making Christmas cakes, as well as items for the residents’ stall at the annual Christmas Bazaar. Various entertainers visited the home which the residents thoroughly enjoyed and Father
Christmas also called in. The outdoor decorations were stunning and the residents were very impressed. All residents’ families were invited to individual tea parties for them to enjoy with their loved ones, all at no cost to the families or residents. Knellwood really does go above and beyond for its residents and provides the best care possible. I’m really proud to be part of this home.

Great care home. Plenty for the residents to do, with lots of different choices and activities available! Family members are also welcome to join in with various activities and events and are welcome to come and go! It's nice to see the residents being put above making money which unfortunately is
rare to see from many other care homes!

Nan loves the food and the care staff have a good connection with residents.
