Latest Reviews for Anning House

Every aspect of Mum's care at Anning House was first class. When she was able to join in with superbly run activities run by an enthusiastic team. Mum's actual care was given always in a gentle and dignified way with a caring, empathetic team - I would not hesitate to recommend. She could not have
been in a better place. All appreciation and thanks go to a wonderful team.

My um passed away in Anning House after living there (with dementia) for 3 1/2 years. The care team always cared with dignity, respect, love and humour.
They respected my privacy in the final days/hours and shared our sorrow. I will always appreciate the care given.

My Dad spent the last 3 months of his days in Anning House. At the time of entering, he had been adamant that he never wanted to be admitted to a Care Home, but his failing health meant that we as a family had no real alternative. However, the care, attention and devotion shown by all the nurses,
carers, and staff gave him a wonderful final part of his life. On behalf of the family I cannot give enough praise for all connected.
The minute we walked through the door, we all felt the warmth and comfort, and we had no doubts that Dad would be happy there. We were without question proved right.

A wonderfully welcoming environment with very professional friendly staff who look after your loved ones as if they were their own. I am constantly updated on all aspects of my father's stay every time I visit. Excellent facilities with a wonderful range of experiences to participate in. At Anning
House they really do care.

I never thought I would write a review like this, and it has taken me a few months to find the words.
Anning House cared for my Dad, and it will always hold a very special place in my heart. My Dad loved the gardens, which brought him so much joy. The care and attention the gardener gives to both
the garden and the residents was truly special. He always took time to explain the flowers and plants, and this meant so much to my Dad and to us as a family.
No care home is perfect, and no one wants to move a loved one into care. Could I find small things that could be improved? Yes. But could I ask for a more caring and compassionate team? Absolutely not. The staff were amazing.
My Dad celebrated his 83rd birthday at Anning House, and the team supported us to plan a brilliant celebration. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our Dad. Anning House will always hold a special place in my heart.

my mothers dementia and general health became more demanding and my husband was terminally ill. I couldn't manage it all so my sister and I made the decision for our mother to have respite care at Anning house Weymouth.
Luckily there was a free room. It was an easy process to organize the stay and
Sarah, one of the managers supported us through this change.
Anning house is a lovely purpose built building for elderly care, welcoming, full of natural light and big window views. The staff are knowledgeable and confident in their care of residents and I was impressed that when my mothers complicated medicine regime was reviewed by staff they immediately contacted the GP for support and review of her care plan. We felt that she was in good care.
Her ensuite room was comfortable, warm and inviting.
she feels cared for, safe and has company and activities there .
All of the family like to visit and take her for coffee in the cafeteria.
She is now a permanent resident.

I have found the home welcoming and professional providing information needed and responses to questions in a timely way.
It would be useful to know more about what activities are offered/engaged with - perhaps through an app.

Excellent care and service from all those involved with taking respite care of my partner.
This means I feel confident in leaving him in their care so I can take a well-needed rest.
He's always happy to go there for his little holiday as well.

Mum is settling in and comfortable, the home is extremely well managed and presented, the facilities are very clean. The team are friendly and very helpful and always on hand to assist, activities are inclusive and well coordinated. I feel very happy mum is in good hands here.
Well done team.

Having been obliged to leave Anning House after over 4 years, because my capital was depleted, I can now appreciate better the care I received there. The contrast with my current setting is marked. However, so many improvements could have been made, with very little expenditure or effort. Despite
continual requests, the food lacked a variety of green vegetables frequently cold and not well presented. With a few exceptions, carers were caring, competent and conversational! Communication with managers was very sparing, however, my main cause for dissatisfaction was the lack of a written, up-to-date, comprehensible service/care plan that would have provided me and my family with the assurance that we were getting what we were paying for and that my needs were understood by all those involved. Staff turnover meant having to frequently verbalise what I required.
Do not be seduced by the provision of "Other Health Services" - just a list of what is available to all members of the NHS, not "in-house".

Four weeks of respite care has led to the resident making a decision not to return home. This was down to the consistent care as well as lots of regular visits by close family members and friends.
Issues that had to be addressed, arose from two live-in carers being excellent in terms of care and
support, but due to the property not providing an easy exit for a wheelchair, they could not expand the horizon beyond downstairs of the house.
Gradually the more social environment began to outweigh the two-to-one care at home.
Hoping this will continue. 4 stars due to one-morning poor experience with agency staff, not a normal occurrence.

I can only speak very highly of both the experience of my father who resides at Anning House and that of a relative who is regularly visiting. From our first initial visit to the present day, all members of staff have been welcoming, professional and very friendly. I would fully recommend visiting
Anning House and experiencing this warm environment for yourself.

I made enquiries to Anning House in September 2024 with regard to moving my mother from another care home in Weymouth to Anning House to become a resident going forward once she had served her notice period at her present address. My enquiry was dealt with in an extremely professional manner, all my
questions were answered fully and it was very clear to me that moving my mother to Anning House was a positive move for her. The staff I met were polite, professional, informative and obviously willing to accommodate my mother to the best of their ability. I was very impressed with the general presentation of the establishment when my mother, my wife and I were given a guided tour by one of the team and can honestly say I saw nothing that I didn't like, everything served to reinforce the decision already made to move my mother in. I was given access to her allocated room immediately and was able to smooth the transition for my mother before she ultimately moved in two weeks later.

An outstanding standard of care - my mum did improve healthwise, made friends and settled in very well. The staff and carers seemed very professional and were friendly. I think the standard was excellent, including the food and activities on offer. My mum had a short stay and she enjoyed it and we
felt happy that she was well cared for.

From the first visit to look around at Anning House, the manager and her team were so friendly and professional nothing was too much trouble.
They all went above and beyond in their care and support, not only for our lovely friend, but for her family and friends too.
A real sense of community,
thank you to each and every one of you for your kindness, compassion, and care.
You made the last few months of a very dear friend's life so much better, giving her respect, dignity and outstanding medical care, she really was in the best place, and passed away peacefully surrounded by love in a homely environment.
I would highly recommend Anning House.

Always made to feel comfortable, staff and everyone very friendly, everything is 10/10 except sometimes the food which needs some work but most of this is nice.
27 February 2024
There cannot be a better care home in every respect. When my husband and I required care, Anning House was recommended very highly and so we have experienced excellent care in every way and are thankful to be here. Our individual rooms are all that we could have asked for. The staff are very
courteous and caring, with a very friendly attitude. We could not have found a better home.

Came to Anning House following bouts in the hospital and other medical problems. I went home for 1 day but ended up back in hospital. Family decision was taken to return to Anning House on a permanent basis. I came in May/June 2022 for 1 month and have been here ever since. The care and support I
have received from all the amazing staff is second to none, everyone goes the extra mile no matter what my needs are. Catering and housekeeping departments are friendly and nothing is too much trouble for dietary needs. The general carers are exactly what their title says, carers, and very good at their jobs.
20 October 2023
I worked as a medical social worker for twenty-five years and I was extremely satisfied with everything in Anning House Care Home. The welcome reception, the room, activities, menus and especially the care my husband received. He was happy during his stay. I shall be more than happy, if I need a
break, to know, with confidence, that he will be cared for.
21 August 2023
My husband and I travel from America to visit Dad. Love our time together. We value, trust and appreciate all the carers, nurses and team that take great care of Dad. Always great seeing all the wonderful team members of Anning House Care Home.
Dad is happy and safe and enjoys the daily interaction
and attention.
Thank you.
