My husband is a day visitor and from day one has been made to feel special by the all the staff. Greeted at the door by name and after settling in the lounge, enjoys the day , he has lunch and refreshments.
The home has activities most days and he especially enjoys the singers that come in.
Management
has no problem if i need to change the day or need extra days.
It was not a easy decision to use day care but after the first visit , I have no trouble with him going and this gives me a worry free day and an opportunity to see friends and family that live fuller away.
We are also welcome to any of the activities/ entertainment on different days to his normal day.
In all a positive experience for both of us.

Reply from Samantha Oliver, Home Manager at Stroud House

Aww, thank you so much for this lovely review it truly means a lot to all of us! We absolutely adore your husband; he brightens our day every time he arrives at Stroud.

After a struggle to settle in at the end of last year, mum is now very happy. It was a huge change, especially for someone living with dementia. The staff are second to none, very caring and attentive. My mum has embraced the activities especially singing and dancing. She loves to be busy and there
is lots going on to occupy her. The food is great (especially the lovely home made cakes' which I have sampled on more than one occasion!) there is such a warm and inviting atmosphere at Downs House, it is a pleasure to visit mum. So glad we chose Downs House!

My sister-in-law is being extremely well looked after. The care and attention she receives is second to none. She is always clean, tidy and in good spirits. Her state of mind has improved since going to the home as all the worry of domestic chores and the everyday task of looking after herself have
been removed. The home provides stimulating outings as well as in house entertainment. The staff are kind, caring and efficient. If I have a question about my sister-in-laws care there is always a member of staff to answer my query. Her room is very nice and south facing gets lots of sunshine. There are also French Windows with access to the well tended garden which my sister-in-law loves. She goes for little walks twice a day. She says the food is excellent and if she feels like something between meals there is always a willing member of staff to provide it. All in all we are very pleased my sister-in-law is being looked after in Downs House where she is happy and contented.

My dad moved to Downs House last autumn and has a lovely garden room with his own bathroom. He has a bird feeder and flowers just outside his window, and a door into the garden so he can sit out there when the weather is warmer. He is well looked after by caring staff who provide plenty of activities
for him. He also enjoys the meals provided. Downs House has been an excellent choice.

My mother-in-law moved into Stroud House in January 2025 due to a decline in her dementia and I'm happy to say she's now in the right place. The staff are so kind, caring and patient. She has received lots of one-to-one care to help settle her in and I've never seen her happier.
She seems to be doing
something different every day, be it, dancing, crafts, and visits out and about which is amazing. The carers do an amazing job helping to navigate these vulnerable people through such a confusing time.

Mum went into care in early January after a stay in hospital. The transition Stroud House performed was nothing short of a miracle! Mum suffers very badly with anxiety issues so it was a real worry as to how this would pan out. In a very short space of time, she seems to be settling in her "new home".
The staff are, attentive, professional and accommodating, to both the residents, and the families, my mind has been put at rest that Mum is safe and well cared for. Sam, the manager has gone out of her way to reassure both myself and Mum.
Another positive of Stroud House is the amount of activities for the residents, never a dull moment with everything from Burns night bagpipes to country walks.
Stroud House has made a difficult family time, a lot more Human. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to send a reply. It means a lot. Mum has the most amazing, addictive personality and it is a joy to have her at Stroud House. I will pass on the review to the staff as it does give them such a boost. Eventually Mum will finish knitting my leg warmers. She has started them about 30 times now lol.

We visited a very old friend who had only quite recently started her life at Stroud House. It was the first time we had been there and we went to have lunch with her on her birthday. The staff were all very friendly and efficient and we had a good lunch at a table they had kindly set up for us in a
place where we could have a pleasant uninterrupted chat. There was a birthday banner and balloons. The place seemed spotlessly clean, with a happy atmosphere and plenty of staff. We were re-assured that our friend was being well looked after and with lots going on, enjoying a stimulating time.

During a really difficult time with the deterioration of my dear Mum and her dementia, Sam and the team have been so kind and caring in welcoming her into Stroud House. We were so blessed to find such a lovely place for Mum and everyone has been so understanding and thoughtful. The staff are so respectful
and great with both Mum and all of us family.
We feel very grateful that she is now being cared for in by a lovely team.
The room is freshly painted and decorated, the home very clean and the food is prepared and cooked to a fabulous standard.
Activities that are done with the residents have been brilliant for Mum with singing and music daily.
Thank you for making this difficult transition so welcoming for both Mum and all of us.

My mother has been a resident at Stroud House for a couple of years now and I've always found the staff to be very friendly, attentive and genuinely fond of the residents which is lovely to see. It was my mother's 90th birthday back in November and the Home organised bunting and a banner, as well as
a lovely present and birthday cake, all making for an enjoyable afternoon that my brother and I could share with my mother.
There is a good emphasis on organising activities for the residents, catering to their needs and abilities and as I unfortunately do not live very close to the Home, it is nice to see the monthly activity schedule to see what mum might be getting to enjoy. There is very much an emphasis on a happy environment for all the residents to feel comfortable and looked after. Stroud House has a warm homey atmosphere, which I believe most people would want for their loved ones. I would certainly recommend it.

My mother recently moved into Stroud House after my father died who was her main caregiver and the home has been exceptionally kind and caring, they have been very welcoming to both my mother and other family members visiting always offering tea or coffee, etc. The food is of a high standard.
If there
is a query or problem we can ask and it has been sorted out straight away.
My mother loves the activities with the activity coordinator, especially the dementia choir.
I would happily recommend Stroud House if you are looking for good quality, thoughtful care for a family member.

Stroud House was a warm, welcoming place from the very start when Mum moved there - and it quickly became her home in the true sense of the word. Mum loved the staff and she was so well looked after. Not only that, but the staff were very supportive of us as a family too. There are lots of activities
each week and lots of opportunities to socialise - so important for those with dementia. Mum was really loved by everyone at Stroud House right up until her death and we will be forever grateful for that.

Following a further deterioration in her general health, our mum/gran moved to Stroud House, a smaller sister home to Down's House where daily life is at a quieter pace and more medical/nursing support is available. The staff were outstanding in their welcome and care, but sadly her health continued
to decline.
Our heartfelt thanks to all at Stroud House for all the love and excellent care given to our mum and gran over the last few months of her life. The care and attention she received at Stroud during the final weeks of her life was second to none and akin to that provided by a Hospice. The level of practical, medical, and emotional care she received was incredible and provided great comfort both to her and the family, enabling her to be "at home " when she died.
We will be eternally grateful for the support to us as a family which took a lot of the anguish and worry off our shoulders. The highest recommendation we can give. Thank you one and all.

Reply from Samantha Oliver, Home Manager at Stroud House

From day one, my wife and I have always been treated with the utmost respect and kindness. Now that she is in the advanced stages of dementia, life has become considerably more stressful and difficult to comprehend as each day another problem rears its ugly head, but despite this, the staff are always
cheery and smiling in their approach and handling of the situation and deal with it very professionally. My wife, very obviously, enjoys her day care there and I hope in the future when needs must, she will become a resident.

My Father went to Stroud House after a long hospital stay.
He was immediately welcomed by the team and made to feel like he was at home.
The team and care were very consistent and they got to know my father, his sense of humour, and his quirks.
They welcomed me and were always friendly and courteous
and it was never too much bother for me to visit him.
I enjoyed interacting with the team and they showed they had gotten to know my father very well.
I hugely appreciated that it was a small home and a small team dedicated to looking after my father.
When my father took a turn for the worse, they were very comforting to my brother and I and made sure my father was very comfortable in his last moments.
I could not recommend this care home enough.

Thank you for your kind words and the review you completed; it is so important that families review our care home.
