I would 'what' to say about the care home. To start, I would like to say - the staff are very helpful and if I need anybody to talk to, they are there to help me. My husband now lives there. I am very happy with the care they give him 24/7, and what else I like is that it is very clean, and every
time I visit my husband, I am made to feel very welcome. I am glad that I got my husband into their care home.

My dad has been in Methven House for 6 weeks now, and he is thriving. The staff are excellent so caring, kind and friendly as are the management. As a family, we were worried as my dad does not mix well; however, since being here, he engages with other residents and is happy to be involved in a
range of activities. When a family member goes into care, there is always a concern regarding how they will be looked after. Our family has no worries whatsoever. Our dad is in very kind, caring and safe hands in Methven House.

Our family are spread far and wide and it's difficult for us to visit mum regularly. Knowing that she has such individualised care and such lovely people around her is so special.
Recently staff have gone above and beyond to help our mum through a very difficult time, the loss of her young sister.
It means the world to know our mum is surrounded by so much care attention and activity at Methven House.

The manager and staff have provided excellent care in meeting not only the needs but mental well-being of the resident. The attention to detail and knowing the resident has benefitted him in many ways. To allow the resident to feel as though he is at home in a care setting helps with comfort and
reassurance, while listening to the resident and him being valued. To visitors all staff have been brilliant.

I feel my mum is well-treated and well looked after. The home is regularly in contact with me with updates or issues. I really enjoy following the home on social media as I see pictures and videos of my mum taking part in games, fun, etc. I live 2 hours away, and this makes it easier for me to keep
an eye on mum. The staff are friendly and helpful, and any issues I have are quickly resolved.

Very pleasant environment. All staff very helpful.

Would not recommend this nursing home. Lacked basic care and hard to find staff. Lots of very disabled residents unattended in hallways. Hygiene not great. Communal laundry awful with other people's clothing being worn despite labelling. Activities programme very poor. Took ages to get in and out as
staff not responsive when you required secure exit/entry. Only plus was large rooms.

All staff are pleasant and understand my mums needs. Cleanliness has improved by 100% since new management has taken over. Activities have improved a great deal. To be truthfully honest I don't have any concerns with regards to my mums care as they are now being fully met.

My mother moved into Methven House over a month ago and has really settled in well. The staff have been so kind and helpful even before we moved my mother into the home. I was my mothers main carer before she moved into the care home so it has been wonderful not to worry about all the day to day
worries of my mother cleaning herself, eating and drinking regularly and taking her meds. The staff have taken the time to get to know my mother needs and have met them all. Thank you so much

Overall very good response and relationship with all staff.

We were apprensive about Dad going into a care home but from the very first visit our fears dissappeared and its been a month since our Dad went into Methven House and the difference in him is astounding! Since we lost my mother he had become very withdrawn and disheartened. But from the very first
day the staff and management have been so welcoming and made him feel right at home. They took the time to get to know him, his likes and dislikes and talk to him like they have known him for ever. On a recent visit he was sitting with friends singing and laughing and looked like a different man. We are very happy with Methven house, it's cosy and warm with lots of activities to keep Dad busy.

Overall most staff are friendly and helpful. They appear caring towards our dad. Of late, we are not sure if there is an entertainment person organising activities etc and outings in the minibus. We feel that social interaction is very important, especially for people with the onset of dementia. On
the whole, the room is clean but there have been times when it hasn't, especially the floor.

I have generally found the care home to be very good. My wife is happy enough with the care that the staff give her.

My grandad has recently moved into the nursing home, he is very settled and the staff and management have been great.
My grandad enjoys the food and social interactions with the staff. His room is lovely, spacious and clean.

Dad having quite recently has moved in and overall as a family find everything very good with no complaints.
All staff very friendly with Dad and his family. His care is also very good. The home is very clean.
As a family we were all so very anxious knowing Dad was moving to a nursing home with no
need as Dad has settled in with the help of the staff and management.

My father moved to Methven house 2 weeks ago after losing his wife in December and being diagnosed with bowel cancer himself. We were worried sick and it is the hardest decision my dad and us as a family have ever had to make. I can honestly say every member of staff is so welcoming and friendly and
we can sleep at night knowing when Dad gets up to the toilet he is safe. The food is fresh and home made and all staff are so kind to dad and to us when we visit. We can now enjoy quality time with Dad in his lovely room and get him out when the weather is nice. I have worked in care homes myself and am now NHS staff and I have high standards of care. I’m very happy with Methven house and all the staff here. The activities ladies are wonderful and organise fun activities, sing songs and bus trips. I feel the staff here really do care about patients well being and happiness and deserve recognition for all their hard work and dedication.

I don't feel that my husband has to go to sleep in his clothes that he has worn all day and due to this, they don't change his pull-up pants until the next day which I feel is very unsatisfactory. I also supply my husband's pants but the night staff feel it's alright to take them which I don't. I
will put a bill in the next time they are taken.
25 July 2023
New management has made an improvement. Displays are updated. New uniforms for staff are smart too. Willingness to speak with relations is also positive. Medical care is great. Mum has had a number of medical infections, I've been informed on every occasion. Fruit is provided to Mum weekly as
requested. Mum is still reluctant to be involved with activities so her nails are painted now and again on a one-to-one basis. She likes the attention. Food remains a concern. Mum doesn't like it very much and choice is limited for her plain eating choices.
