Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that your father is happy at Downs House and enjoying his garden room. It's wonderful that he has a peaceful outdoor space with flowers and a bird feeder to bring him joy, and we look forward to the warmer months when he can make the most of it.

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.

Thank you so much for this review. We miss Dad a lot. You are right, the room was small but we are looking at how best we can make changes at Stroud House and the Directors are working closely with myself to ensure that any changes are positive ones and this will be something that is looked at. We wish you all a Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We truly appreciate the time and effort you have taken to write this review. As you know, Mum and I are practically joined at the hip. We try our hardest to keep out of mischief, but what we do continue to do is smile as much as we can. Thank you again and hope to see you and your husband soon.

Thank you for your review. What a wonderful lady your Mum is. She is up for all kinds of fun and encourages other residents to participate in activities too. It is always a difficult and soul-searching decision when looking for a placement for a loved one and we are so grateful that you chose Stroud House. We will continue to encourage and support Mum and hope that you both make some lovely precious new memories.

We are so, so grateful you took the time to share your thoughts. We always welcome feedback. Mum is an amazing woman, one full of the most enchanting personality. She can often be found laughing at my silly little dance or singing along with musical entertainment. She is loved. I agree, that care is the most important factor over how the home looks, but we are excited to be soon having a high standard of care in a high-standard home. You know how excited I was to show you the tiles in the bathroom...lol. You and your family are always welcome for cake or even to join Mum at lunch. Looking forward to seeing you soon and thank you once again.
