I recently visited Dunkirk Memorial House Care Centre, for the service of a close friend who had passed away, the staff were very caring and those I spoke with had a great sense of pride in the difficult, I would imagine, job that they do. The Centre looks amazing and the residents I met had big smiles.
Thank you to all for the care and compassion you give.

I came to visit a recently bereaved friend who is staying for 2/3 weeks respite and I stayed for lunch, which I have to say was very nice and well presented. The class of wine was a pleasant surprise I was very impressed by the only residents lounge I saw. The staff were friendly and everywhere was
clean. My friend is already planning to make Mais house his permanent home and I really think it's the best thing he could do. If ever I need to go into care Mais house would be my first choice

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Mais House. We would love your friend to make Mais his permanent home and hope his time with us has helped him at this difficult period. I will share your expereience with the team. We always apprecaite feedback to ensure we are providing a warm, comfortable and welcoming environment for our residents and their visitors. Thank you.

All the staff are friendly and go above and beyond to care for the residents at Lister House. My mum was put on palliative care after leaving hospital 8 months ago. Since then she's absolutely flourished by being cared for by the staff. She's now joining in with activities and eating independently,
which she never did before.

Lister House is always clean and the staff friendly and helpful. We have no worries about our relatives care and comfort. Her room is always clean, warm and tidy and laundry's always done.

All staff are very friendly, welcome and polite.
Staff are generally very supportive & helpful though occasionally appear thin on the ground.
The public areas are always clean and well presented too.
The links can be rather chilly and the courtyard garden rather bland and dull through the winter
months, but internally the social areas are decorated well for every event or change of season, bringing brightness and fun.
Throughout the better months the grounds are well maintained and a pleasure to be out in .
A lovely high standard overall, in every department.

Reply from Steven Kay, Home Manager at Lister House

Thank you for your review, the winter certainly dampened the presentation of the courtyard, I hope that you and your loved one will enjoy it when it has bloomed in spring. The link area can be cool at times especially if the doors are left open, taking on board what you have said we will have signs made encouraging everyone to close the doors to keep the link warm.

Dad is an important member of our residents committee, helping us to understand the needs of our residence from a residents prospective is very important to us all at Lister House. I look forward to seeing him at the next meeting and yourself at the next family meal celebrations where you can have some more of the fantastic food produced from our catering staff.

Galanos House

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Galanos House is a bit special in my opinion. The culture in any organisation is key and Galanos appears to have one that is very caring both to residents and to staff. It appears to lead to low turnover of staff which is key in any organisation but particularly so in a care home. And I believe a lot
of how an organisation performs reflects what comes from the top. Going into a care home can never be easy but I have no worries about my mother in law at Galanos - she is really well cared for and it shows. It was the same for my late father in law too. I have experience of a relative in another care home and it's like chalk and cheese!

Wonderful care home in every way. I cannot wish for any better home for my mum to stay, from the first day she arrived, the staff are amazing and care very much about the residents.
Halsey house is a wonderful home, with a lovely atmosphere. The building is spacious, with a lot of character, and kept
extremely clean. As soon as you enter Halsey, you know the home is very well managed and offers a calm and caring environment.
The rooms are an excellent size, with a specious bathroom, have a nice garden view and cleaned every day.
The care team are excellent, and I am so impressed with the job they do. Really nice genuine and caring people who all give that something extra to make the residents comfortable
When its my time for a care home, I hope I can come to Halsey !!

Making the decision to move a family member to a care home is always difficult but I cannot speak more positively about our Galanos House experience so far. My dad came to Galanos House for a short stay but has recently made the decision to become permanent. Every member of staff is kind, welcoming

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother stayed at Dunkirk House, in the dementia wing (Dunkirk Mews), for over a year, until she sadly passed away recently. From the moment my sister and myself walked in the main building, to inspect the home on behalf of my mother before her stay, we were so impressed with everything. It is a beautiful
building, in a beautiful location, with beautiful grounds. The staff in the dementia wing do a difficult job incredibly well. The residents are really well attended to, the food/catering is amazing, and they have many activities throughout the week to keep them entertained. My mother was really well cared for and attended to around the time of her passing. Only one word of caution, the residents are looked after so well that many of them live to be in their nineties, and at the time of writing I believe some are around the age of 100! If you are lucky enough to have the option of having a relative stay here then look no further. I cannot speak too highly of Dunkirk House.

The fact that the carers and nurses and all staff at Galanos House really do care shows massively. They have made my father's life liveable again. The team are really supportive and does their very best to help. The activities that the team run for residents are great and help to keep my father entertained

I can't fault the care my brother-in-law is receiving at Poppy Lodge, all of the staff are lovely, friendly and caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they always have time to chat and are so patient.
His mobility has improved enormously because he's encouraged to get up and get involved, rather
than being left to just sit in his chair.
He's also put on a bit of weight and always looks clean and tidy now, not something that happened when he was living on his own.
Although he didn't want to go into a home he now says he wishes he'd come to Galanos House ages ago, you can't say better than that.
