John Masefield House has gone through a turbulent time with a change in
ownership, managers and then Covid. Now they are coming out strongly on
the other side under the effective leadership of the new manager.
Despite these hurdles, I cannot fault the care and commitment from the
care workers, nurses and activities staff. My sister has been at John
Masefield for nearly 5 years and is loving it. John Masefield is a great
improvement on her last home, which closed at short notice. All the
rooms have patio doors onto the gardens and there is a feeling of light
in the home. There is always some sort of activity in the mornings and
with their excellent chefs, tasty meals to look forward to. In the
summer there are barbecues by the river. A group of residents' family
and friends meet monthly with the manager for an update and to discuss
suggestions and any concerns. The group also meet to plan fund raising
events, such as the Christmas party and summer fete. The home is
supported by an excellent local GP.

This is a most beautiful home and once owned by the poet, John
Masefield. The grounds reach down to the Thames where there is a lovely
covered area to watch the boats and geese pass by. Pur peace. All rooms
are large with ensuite and bright and cheery staff are very caring and
kind. The atmosphere is good and it is a happy place. to be.
