The staff, both care staff, nurses & ancillary have been excellent, the care staff showing great kindness to residents & empathy to relatives. Obviously the home has improved since refurbishment though the plumbing in the en-suite in Memory Lane fails to provide hot water more times than not. My
husbands room requires redecoration which I was told by the previous manage would occur. However having met the new manager I'm sure everything will improve

My wife has been a resident for 8 months. During that time she has returned to good health due to the care and attention o the staff. Her inclusion in a variety of activities has given her so much joy and has contributed to her enjoyment and sense of belonging.

Noted various bruises from June to October 2025 on wife's body that are unexplained, Shirley is mainly always in bed unless I arrive and prompt staff to relocate her to dining or sitting room but mainly my requests are not met for various reasons, this leads to her getting depressed & frustrated,
she is taking antidepressants which she has not taken in the past.

Wykeham house is a great care home.
Our father has been a resident for just over a month now and we are really amazed by the huge improvement in him.
The care and attention he receives is fantastic and highly recommend them.
All the staff are great with the residents and so accommodating to
family and friends that visit.
Our dad wasn't coping very well when living at home with care but since he has been with the team at Wykeham house, he has really started to show a big improvement and looks and sounds a bit more like our dad again.
It's all down to the great care he has been provided so thank you from all of us.

A lovely care home, its in lovely beautiful grounds, all the staff are always happy to see us, always happy to help in any situations, my relative in there is really happy, and is always included in any activities that they want to do, overall a happy vibes place

Absolutely fabulous care home. Honestly feels like a home from home. They have taken the time to get to know my mum and us even though she has only been here a short while. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The home itself is clean and well looked after. The meals look very appetising and my
mum enjoys them.

The staff are exceptionally helpful, nothing is too much trouble. When you enter the home there's a coffee room, this is all free with fresh cake baked each day in-house. My mum has been here two years now, after being in another home in South London. I'm so pleased with the progress she's made and
her happiness, her previous home was dreadful in every way. The staff go the extra mile and the visitors and relatives are all made to feel welcome. This home has two activities ladies that really think outside the box with endless enthusiasm, they do bingo, quizzes and so much more, taking the residents out into the community pantomimes and such like. I joke with Mum that I will move in. The nursing staff and carers are lovely, friendly and approachable.
Thank you for all your care.

Wykeham House is a very good care home that my father is fortunate to be in. The staff are very attentive and supportive both with the residents and family/guests. They will go out of their way to help with special occasions and other needs.
The manager is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful
making time for you whenever needed.
Activities and events are aimed more at the female residents who seem to enjoy them, unfortunately my father does not get involved. The food has been below expectations for a long time now and would be the only real sore point for us.
