Since my mum moving to Greenslades from a care home in Exeter in April things have been very good after a tricky start. The staff are very helpful and I feel my mum is happy. My only gripe would be that when my mum is in the living room she is seated into a proper chair with her legs slightly elevated.

The care and food are excellent. My father is well cared for. The staff are supportive. Decor could do with improving.

I would like to register my appreciation for the way the staff at Greenslades are caring for my sister. From the manager through the nurses and their care assistants they conduct themselves professionally and with sensitivity and good humour. Without naming names I can say that you are fortunate to have individuals on your staff with very high standards of care.

My husband's experience at Greenslades for 3 months, was not a happy one. He had multiple physical needs ( he had end stage Parkinson's as well as other serious health conditions) which were not always met by overworked nursing staff. Any exercise, (even just helping him to stand) which would have encouraged him, was frustratingly denied him, because of staff shortage, and he was left in bed or his chair most of the day, unless family intervened. Staff were friendly and helpful when asked. Some staff were excellent and went out of their way to help him. Perhaps the greatest shock was being interrupted with my son, as my husband was taking his dying breaths, to be asked by a nurse why we had no funeral plan. Greenslades undoubtedly suits the loved ones of many families but I do not recommend it for someone with multiple complex needs, especially end stage Parkinson's.

It has been wonderful to see the improvements in my mum's mental and physical health since moving into Greenslades. She is clean, well-fed, bright and happy. The staff are fantastic with her and have taken the time to get to know her well. Mum really enjoys the variety of activities and loves having the company of the other residents and staff. The food is excellent and mum enjoys it all. It is a huge relief to our family to know that Mum is so well cared for and is happy and thriving, despite her Alzheimers.

The staff at the home were excellent during my father's stay. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were always welcoming. They were happy to chat about what had happened during the day. The room was a good size and the lounge was very homely. Although Dad was only there for a short time his care and attention were greatly appreciated.

I found the staff to be very professional, kind and helpful. The home was always clean and they were having home improvements done as well, painting etc. The staff were approachable and would always answer any questions you had.

All the staff are really friendly and caring and helpful my parent classes them as friends. The bedroom is always kept clean and tidy, clothing and bedding always looks fresh. The food is of good quality and plenty of it, drinks are readily available. There are plenty of daily activities to keep everyone occupied and you do have the choice to participate or not - nothing is forced onto you. There is a social media page where you can see what the nursing home has been doing so for families who cannot visit as often they can see what activities the residents are participating in. The home is very quick to get in touch if there are any concerns with my parent which is very reassuring to us all.

Mum is extremely happy there! Whenever a medical problem arises they are so quick to act on it and resolve it. Couldn't ask for better care. All in all, I am so relieved that Mum is in such a lovely safe environment where I know that she is being cared for to such a high standard. The staff are amazing.

The home is lovely with lovely gardens, the interaction with the residents is really good and they hold various coffee mornings etc, the food is superb with a lot of choice, I would highly recommend this home.

My mum has been a resident since October 2023 and has settled in really well. She completely accepts Greenslades as her home. The carers and nurses are kind and help to make her feel at ease. I appreciate all they do for my mum! Her bedroom is cleaned daily and my mum enjoys the food. It always breaks my heart to leave as I can only visit once a week due to living in North Devon, but I know she's looked after and her needs are attended to.

Fantastic end-of-life care for my mum, primarily down the quality of the staff. I found everyone to be incredibly supportive, responsive, knowledgeable and caring. Furthermore, nursing staff made numerous phone calls to update me of any immediate changes to my mum's health so I could change plans and be with her. Greenslades is fairly central in the city and while it didn't have gardens like a few other homes, it was very clean, had decent food and is very well run. I can thoroughly recommend for a family member.

Utterly wonderful environment for the residents. Daily activities including dancing, gardening, pottery, arts and crafts with lots of family interaction encouraged. A welcoming environment for residents and family. My mother is happy and smiling and gets lots of attention and care. Staff absolutely amazing without them she wouldn't be here. Highly recommend.

Greenslades Nursing Home offers everything you could wish for in a nursing home. It is like a second family to residents and relatives. The standard of care is excellent and each resident is treated as an individual. There is love and laughter in abundance. I am so grateful to everyone in the Greenslades team.

There is a friendly atmosphere in the home and my mother with physical health problems/mobility issues and dementia has settled in well. Staff are kind and caring. Residents are offered a range of activities.
10 June 2024
Excellent, caring staff, friendly and approachable. Room was very tired and no bedside light, so my mother could not turn light on and off at night. Very noisy alarm system outside her room. No accessibility to power sockets if patient cannot get out of bed. Curtains tatty. Gutters blocked above the room so excessive rain bashing against windows. Although the staff are excellent the building needs a revamp!

My mum was in Greenslades for twenty months, during that time her care by the staff was exemplary. They showed her kindness, empathy and dignity, which made the last few months and weeks of her life easier for us all to get through. The staff work so hard but always had smiles on their faces and were always very welcoming. Thank you from us all to everyone at Greenslades.
