Austen House came to our aid when we needed urgent respite care for a family member. They could not have more accommodating or helpful if they had tried.

Barchester Stoneham Grove Care Home

from K B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Grandmother moved in a few weeks ago and we have already seen a vast improvement in her. She is encouraged and very happy to partake in activities and events at the home. The home is more like a 5* hotel rather than a care home, which is also reflected in the food, nail bar and spa!
Staff have been
very, very accommodating from reception, housekeeping, hostess, carers, maintenance and management, nothing seems too much trouble for anyone. A big thank you to all who are taking care of my Grandmother in her later years.

Barchester West Oak Care Home

from H E (Wife of Resident) published on 6 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My late husband was in West Oak for only a week after discharge from the hospital. He was extremely ill and also had Parkinson's and advanced dementia. The management, nurses and carers were both empathetic and caring and looked after him on a continual basis they also made me and the family most welcome
at all times. My husband passed away with dignity in his own room and that gave the family comfort in a very difficult situation.

Reply from Simona Cioinac, Senior General Manager at Barchester West Oak Care Home

We are deeply sorry for your loss and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us. It's a privilege to have been able to care for your husband during such a challenging time and we are grateful that he was able to pass with dignity in the comfort of his own room. We also take great pride in supporting families and making them feel welcome and we are glad that you felt that support from our team. Your kind words mean so much to us and we wish you and your family peace and comfort in the days ahead. If there is anything we can do to support you further, please don't hesitate to reach out.

from Mike B (Son of Resident) published on 17 December 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum has been here 2 years. I am very happy with Barchester Austen House and would not hesitate tho recommend to others.
I am particularly pleased with the staff at Austen House some of whom have direct responsibility for mum's care and well being.
I would highlight one staff member in particular who
is fantastic at helping mum keep happy and is an exceptional carer, as are two further members of the team, we frankly could not ask for more from these kind people.
In addition the 2 ladies on reception are always engaging and welcoming when we visit. One of the ladies who provides nursing care is excellent, always on the ball and very proactive and is great at keeping us informed. We thank her for effectively optimising mum's health and welfare. The staff all know mum exceptionally well and this approach means she gets the very best we could expect . Thank you.
The home itself is well managed by the manager, all food cooked from scratch with good choices and varied menus and good quality.

Reply from Arturas Repkovas, General Manager at Barchester Austen House Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely review of Barchester Austen House. We are truly delighted to hear that your mum has been so well cared for over the past two years and we greatly appreciate your kind words. Our team works hard to provide the best possible care and create a warm, welcoming environment and it means the world to us to know that their efforts have had such a positive impact on your mum's happiness and well-being. We will be sure to share your feedback with the exceptional staff members you've highlighted - they will be thrilled to know they've made a difference. Thank you for mentioning the food as well; we take pride in offering fresh, varied and high-quality meals for our residents. We are honoured by your recommendation and will continue working to ensure we deliver the outstanding care.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My brother was kindly accepted by this nursing home whereas others had refused to take him in because of his challenging behaviour with late stages of Parkinson's/dementia. He was only in there for a week before he passed away but it was comforting that he spent his final week in such loving care with
wonderful people who couldn't have done more to help him. They looked after the family and accepted us all with open arms. I would thoroughly recommend.

Reply from Simona Cioinac, Senior General Manager at Barchester West Oak Care Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are deeply sorry that we couldn't have had more time with your brother and we truly understand how difficult it must have been to lose him after just one week. It was an honor to provide care for him during his final days and we want you to know that his family will always be warmly welcomed with open arms here. At our nursing home, we are committed to offering not only exceptional, compassionate care but also a supportive, loving environment for both our residents and their families. Your kind words are deeply appreciated and we want you to know that we are here for you, now and in the future. Thank you for entrusting us with your brother's care. We consider it a privilege and we will always be ready to offer support whenever you need us.

from D F (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 December 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The senior general manager and administrator were amazing and completed onboarding for Mum so quickly and efficiently. Mum moved from another home and has settled in so well to Barchester West Oak Care Home. The staff are so caring and know all of the residents well. Mum does sleep a lot but the team
actively try and get her interested in what is happening with activities. I love the culture of the home, I think this is what really made our decision, it really does feel like a home. There are always lots of refreshments for the residents and last weekend, when I visited, the person on duty made up a tray with a cloth, tea cups and saucers and two lovely slices of cake for Mum and I to sit and enjoy some personal space in the conservatory end of the ground floor, the visit was made to feel very special. I love the fact that Mum has to interact, she is out of her room with other people all day and so, is never alone. She had nineteen falls within five months at the old home, she has been at West Oak a month now and no falls.

Reply from Simona Cioinac, Senior General Manager at Barchester West Oak Care Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your mum has settled so well at Barchester West Oak Care Home. At West Oak, we take great pride in creating a warm, welcoming environment that truly feels like home. We're so glad to hear that the home's culture was a key factor in your decision, it means the world to us that you feel that personal connection and care. It's also great to hear that your mum is engaging more with the activities and spending time with others. Our team is always committed to making sure residents feel involved and connected and it's fantastic that this has contributed to her improved well-being, especially in reducing falls. Thank you for entrusting us with your mum's care. We look forward to continuing to provide her with the comfort, safety and personal attention she deserves and we're here for you and your family whenever you need us.

Mum was admitted to Barchester West Oak Care Home on 18th May 2024. After being very restricted on what she could do at home living with my dad and being bedbound, my mum's quality of life has completely turned around. From the manager to the nurses, care staff, housekeeping, head chef and activities,
my mum is now receiving amazing care and support, coming along and joining in with the amazing activities the activity staff offer. My dad now is able to visit Mum daily with the support of his family and have the quality time with his wife and enjoy some meals.
