I am a volunteer with the table tennis club. I was invited to the fine dining room for lunch as a thank you. We had a wonderful time. Our hostess was magnificent, so friendly and the food was fantastic. A truly special occasion. Welford Gardens is so good at welcoming the local community.

I was always very apprehensive about my nan going to a care home but after just one visit to Wellford Gardens I had never been more sure of what a great place it would be for my nan. You can tell that the staff go above an beyond to ensure the well being of their patients. I had not seen my nan so
happy in a very long time!.

By August 2025 Mums condition was becoming too much, even with the help of a carer. It was taking its toll on all of us, and the decision was made to research a care home. My brother and me visited several homes in the area, and all were very nice. Wellford Gardens felt right. A lady came out from
Wellford Gardens to assess Mum. She was charming and reassuring, and I knew better times were ahead. Four months on Wellford Gardens was the best choice we made. All our lives are better for it.

The occasion was lunch for my mother-in-law's 89th birthday. We pre-ordered a three-course meal, and it was served in the private dining room. The quality of food, portion sizes was absolutely perfect, along with a friendly, efficient service. The kitchen also provided a delicious birthday cake with
no prompting, which we all thought was a very special touch. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, so thank you to all concerned.

My experience of Wellford Gardens was wonderful from start to finish. My mum was only at Wellford Gardens for 12 days; her decline was much quicker than expected. The staff cared for mum with genuine kindness and respect, making her feel safe and secure at all times. They also cared for us as a
family during an incredibly sad time with such kindness, consideration, and nothing was any trouble. I am so grateful for the true care all the staff gave my precious mum and my family. Thank you all.

Wellford Gardens is an impressive modern care home with lovely bedrooms, great food, beautiful gardens and stimulating and enjoyable activities for the residents. But more importantly the staff are wonderful. Under their attentive care and kindness, our mother is thriving. She now has a quality of
life that we thought was beyond her when she first moved into the home, and we have peace of mind knowing she is well looked after. We feel fortunate in our choice of Wellford Gardens.

I recently had a respite stay at Wellford Gardens, it was a truly fantastic stay. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive to my needs, I felt like everyone made an effort to get to know me and what I needed during my stay. The home really does have a community feel and the teams are all fantastic. I
will be coming back when I need to, this stay has really helped my overall health and wellbeing - Thank you everyone

My mum has been living at Wellford Gardens for 15 months now, and I can't rate it highly enough. It really feels as if she is part of a big family. Carers know her well and always have time for her. There is always something going on that she can join in. Her quality of life is so much better than
when she was living alone at home. Excellent on all fronts! Thank you.

We held a birthday party for my mum in the private dining room. The sole experience was lovely. A welcome glass of prosecco great food and endless tea and coffee. We felt very welcomed by the staff and the room looked lovely and we had flowers and cards from the home. It was just lovely!

We have been lucky to find Wellford Gardens. It has proven to be perfect for our mother. She is enjoying her calm and beautiful surroundings and regular meals and conversations with the staff - joining in with activities through the experience and knowledge of a well managed, very caring team that
knows how to work with people living with dementia. Everyone's warmth, kindness and friendliness is second to none; each ensuring our mother can enjoy as much as possible within boundaries that she is comfortable with. For high days and holidays the proverbial 'boat is really pushed out' - high quality dining in a sumptuous dining room when the service and delivery is outstanding. Thanks to everyone at Wellford Gardens who make all this happen.

My mother was one of the first residents at Welford Gardens. She was made to feel very much at home the moment she arrived by staff and management. Her room was tastefully decorated and included an ensuite wet room and a patio which was always full of flowers and spectacular views across the
Wheatley valley. Whilst the residents enjoy their own restaurant, the bistro allows resident's visitors to share meals, snacks and drinks. Staff at Welford prepared a lovely 3-course meal in the private dining room for my Mother and 8 family members on her birthday. The staff were always kind and compassionate, especially in her final days.
I've only had experience with 2 other care homes, but Welford definitely tops them all.

We had a delightful birthday lunch in the private dining room for my mother's 96th. All the dishes were delicious, nicely cooked and well-presented. The wine flowed. Service was attentive and responsive to all requests. Thank you very much.

The staff at Wellford Gardens in Wheatley are always cheerful and friendly. They are kind and compassionate to residents, showing endless patience. The home feels very homely and the food looks and smells delicious. There are lots of activities for the residents to enjoy which keeps minds and bodies
active. I cannot believe how well Mum has settled since moving there in May. It feels like she is staying in a 5 star hotel.

A friend is current a resident at Welford Gardens - I visit once weekly and my impressions are; friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Surroundings beautifully kept and my friend couldn't be better cared for.
I attended a church service at the home and this was well attended by residents/family
members and friends. Pleased there is this facility for those who want a Christian service on a regular basis - keep up the good work.
