My mother Shirley, spent one week in Apple Trees from 16/02/26 to 22/02/26. She was warmly welcomed for respite following two hospital visits. She was very frail and passed away with dignity. All the staff and carers were exemplary. The kindness, support and genuine warmth were very impressive.
Mum's room and the general decor of the home were excellent. The care home is light and airy. Nothing was too much trouble. Myself and the wider family were welcomed throughout each day and treated with great kindness when mum passed away. Excellent. Thank you.

The care in Apple Trees over a period of 3 years was very good and she felt secure and well looked after. The quality of the staff was very high and made very good relationships with her.

The facility is very clean and the staff very friendly. My father was a resident for 17 days after 10 days in hospital. After his stay he was able to go home.

Due to mobility issues, sadly Mum has had to go into residential care which obviously is a huge trauma in itself losing independence. After several episodes of excellent respite care at Apple Trees, Mum was happy to be there permanently when there was no possibility of returning home.
Rooms are
generous and have a large en-suite. Mum has small bits of her own furniture, lamps, pictures etc to make it feel like home. The whole team are brilliant! Care staff are patient and kind and are always willing to listen if there are any concerns. Everyone is friendly and approachable, food is excellent and there is a calendar of activities monthly for residents to participate in if they wish but no pressure. There's a beautiful garden too, a bar and 'cafe' area all of which are well maintained and clean. I would highly recommend this lovely residential home

From being admitted to departure in the reanablement centre , the care and compassion shown to my father was exceptional all staff were amazing, My father is now home due to the professional manner in which the staff helped considerably in getting him back to a good health both physically and
mentally . Words are not enough to give the team the plaudits they deserve

The staff are excellent and very caring. The food is excellent and caters for individual needs. The rooms are kept very clean and tidy, as are all community areas. The management is always very sociable and always willing to discuss my mum's needs and welfare. I feel she is very safe at Appletrees,
and I can visit my mum whenever I can without any of the staff making me feel I am intruding.

My mother has been a permanent residents for 3 months. All the staff are absolutely fantastic, my mother is incredibly well looked after, she has a fantastic en-suite room. The care home is purpose built, incredibly clean with some lovely outdoor spaces. The food is incredibly good, so a big thank
you to all the kitchen staff. All the staff are wonderful, but a special thank you to one of my others carers, and the manager who have all been fantastic.

Paramedics said Mum could not be left alone and needed 24/7 care. Later that day she was getting settled in her room at Apple Trees. The kindness and care she has received is excellent. At night she is checked on every 2hrs. She loves the food (always a choice). Apple Trees has a real community feel
rather than an institution. Everything looks and smells clean and fresh. There are lounge areas, garden, reading corner, table games, activities, tea & coffee making facilities in the kitchen area. A shetland pony visited one day - staff took photos and mum has hers next to her family photos. She took her recliner and other items so he room feels like home. I haven't seen Mum so relaxed for a long time. She feels safe and knows she just has to press her button and someone will come and check on her. As a family we have peace of mind knowing mum has the 24/7 care she needs. We couldn't ask for more!

I had been in hospital for 8 weeks. Apple Trees Care and Reablement Centre really helped me progress ready to go home. I felt safe and cared for. The staff were really kind and patient. Some of the other patients were so helpful too and in turn, when I was more able I felt able to help and encourage
others. Carry on with your supportive work.

My mother has dementia and has been a resident since January 2024. Mum has now been itching for 8 months as there have been repeated outbreaks of scabies and in my mother's case these have been identified not by staff who see her everyday, but by visiting family who have demanded attention from a
medic.
She has been covered in insecticide so often to deal with scabies (which has made her unwell) that last time the doctor prescribed a drug so vicious she had the paramedics out twice when she collapsed.
My mother was always smartly dressed, when she moved into the home she had many clothes. Almost all of them have either disappeared or been destroyed - when I visited at the weekend she was in bed because she was cold and she had no warm base layers of clothing left and was dressed in someone else's pyjama top.
The home claimed daily activities and trips out in the home's minibus - there haven't been organised activities for months and my mother has never been out in the minibus.
07 October 2024
I have just completed a four-week active recovery bed course at Apple Trees Care and Reablement Centre. When I first arrived, I could barely stand but now thanks to the incredible help and support from the carers at Apple Trees I am leaving with the confidence to walk independently and even prepare
my own drinks and snacks. My experience has been exceptional. They treated everyone with dignity, always remaining friendly and offering excellent care and support. The food and drink were also of a high standard. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in need of recovery assistance.
12 July 2024
My mother came to Apple Trees Reablement Home and was very ill, she was able to rest and recover and the care she received from all the staff was amazing. Her medication was given at regular times and food in the dining room meant interaction with other people. After the 20+ days she was well enough
to be discharged and enjoyed her 90th birthday at home with family, she is continuing to eat well and is looking forward to her holiday in August. The family thank Apple Trees for their dedication and care to all your residents.

My mother was a resident for four weeks, she was so poorly when she arrived but the care and respite she received at Apple Trees completely transformed her. We loved the homely atmosphere, access to the kitchen for pots of tea and cake. Flexibility over visiting times was wonderful allowing us to
drop in any time of the day. We can't thank Apple Trees enough for enabling Mum to return to her own home.
21 May 2024
My mother left hospital in very poor health and luckily got a room in Apple Trees. Within 7 days her health picked up along with her morale.
The staff were so helpful and understanding.
From being extremely nervous about going into a home she has now recovered a lot of her confidence as well as
her health improving. Even though the final outlook for my mum is not great I cannot emphasize how good my mum's care and treatment has been in Apple Trees.
07 May 2024
My mother was so well looked after. Staff could not do enough for her absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anybody.
29 January 2024
My mum has dementia and has been a resident at Apple Trees since May 2023. My daughter and I viewed a couple of care homes in the area and Apple Trees was the one that stood out. I'm pleased to say Mum has settled down really well and loves taking part in the various activities and going out on
supervised outings. The areas within the care home are always clean, the rooms are very comfortable and all the staff, whether it be carers, domestic or office staff are second to none. Everyone is always so cheerful and nothing is too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend Apple Trees and I know I made the right choice for Mum.
15 January 2024
My wife came to Apple Trees on a reablement program with a view to engage again so she would be able to return home after 4 weeks of care. However, due to cognitive impairment, she refused to eat and latterly drink and passed away on the 21st of December. We would not fault the efforts made by staff
to try and get her to eat. Her room was well appointed, perhaps cot sides to the bed would be a useful addition?
The lounge, dining room and kitchen areas were all good and initially, she enjoyed being in the lounge with the other residents and staff. She felt comfortable at Apple Trees and in fact, referred to it as 'home'.
04 January 2024
My sister has mixed dementia, depression and chronic pain. Despite this staff have worked hard to maintain her general happy disposition. This has made so much difference to her life. She now feels safe, supported and cared for in Apple Trees.
All of the staff know the residents and maintain
supportive relationships. This includes office, laundry, kitchen and maintenance staff. There’s an atmosphere of supportiveness and understanding among the staff teams and residents. The households are all separate but there’s freedom to move around the home for the residents. The staff are all kept updated with information on any changes or concerns quickly shared on the new electronic system for them to check regularly.
The food is freshly prepared and good quality, care is taken with the menus and resident's preferences and needs are individually catered for. There’s always something to eat and drink available.
04 January 2024
My mother was in Apple Trees Care and Reablement Centre for rehabilitation care and was treated with respect but challenged, as appropriate, for her to improve her health and well-being to get back home, following a stay in hospital.
14 December 2023
Mum has been in Apple Trees for over a year and a half. The home provides a safe and caring environment for my mum, who has dementia. Knowing the care home manager is a registered nurse gives us peace of mind that Mum's care is overseen by that of a trained clinician, and whilst the support workers
are supportive in their direct care, we feel assured that outcomes are achieved with other health care professionals with a much bigger emphasis on clinical care. The staff have become her extended family and offer support to both myself and my sister whilst catering to Mum's specific needs.
