Even though my mum has not been there for a great length of time she has settled in very well and seems very happy there. I cannot fault the friendlyness and compassion of the staff. It always looks spotlessly clean and very safe for the patients.

I first visited in July looking for a place for Mum, from entering the home there was a calm feeling and residents looked relaxed. A member of staff was interacting with residents. The home is clean, you wouldn't know it was a care home.

A very dear friend of mine is a resident at Pine Trees. She is celebrating her 98th birthday this weekend and looks fantastic! Always upbeat, smiling and full of praise for the fantastic staff looking after her. Every time I visit the staff go beyond to make me feel welcome and are lovely. We all know
the care service needs a cash boost, pay rises, less hours of work. I hope the staff here get all they deserve and more. Thank you for being kind and caring.

As a PA to various clients, I have been to quite a few care homes, but my experience of Pine Trees was that I felt comfortable. The residents were calm and content, some smiles were uncommon at other homes. The staff are so friendly; they listen to the family as well as the residents. The room is clean
and comfortable. The food always looks great. I'm yet to eat there! Hint, hint!

From the moment my daughter and I went to view the home after visiting a number of other homes, it was apparent that Pine Trees was the perfect home for my wife who suffers vascular dementia.
It is very well maintained, the staff are very pleasant at all times and the manager is running a happy home
It is very well maintained, the staff are very pleasant at all times and the manager is running a happy home
for staff and residents.
Although my wife has only been there just over a month, she is happy there and that is the most important thing for me.
It was very difficult to get my wife to go outside our house and I thought it would be impossible to make that journey. The manager and a member of staff came out to help her successfully move in for which I am most grateful.
Top marks for Pine Trees in every respect.

I have found all staff very friendly and approachable and always have time to answer any queries, my mum has a lovely room and was able to have pictures/furniture from her own home and has her own toilet which other homes did not have and the room is clean. The carers regularly come in to see how my
mum is and encourage Mum to join in the activities.

Dad has been made very welcome by the staff. He finds it all a bit confusing, but they have taken the time to explain things to him.
My father-in-law was at Pine Trees a few years ago and was very happy there. Since then it has been decorated and updated, giving it a bright homely feel.

My sister was a resident at another care home, we have been trying to relocate her for a while, then I contacted Pine Trees, had a meeting with the manager and was lucky enough to get a room for her. We had a private ambulance to transport her to Pine Trees she has a great room, we were able to put
some of her things in the room pictures etc. She is very happy to be closer to her family and friends, she enjoys the food and the staff are very friendly and kind.

I am so pleased to hear that your mum is feeling happy and at home at Pine Trees. St Philips Care understands the challenges that come along with a move into a care home and I can see from your review the staff team at Pine Trees were able to help to make the move as easy and stress-free as possible.

So impressed with the friendliness and quality of care at Pine Trees. My relative moved there from another home that she could not settle in. The staff’s patience and kindness helped her to settle, and it is now truly her home. Would recommend it to anyone who needs to know their relative is looked
after with patience and kindness. The food is good, the activities there if you want them, and the admin team is super efficient. Keep up the good work!

The staff at Pine Trees are very open and approachable and demonstrate their patience, kindness and care for the residents every day. The level of experience and professionalism is very reassuring when a family member needs residential care and is having to adjust to a new environment and the loss of
their independence and former home. My mother took time to adjust, but really appreciates the care she receives. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the food is very good. Thank you, Pine Trees.

A lovely care home, always clean, tidy, and warm. Mum is well cared for and likes all the staff. Mum enjoys doing the activities in the dayroom, especially bingo and loves getting pampered by having her nails painted.

I have chosen February 23, but it would also cover January 23. I cannot fault the care for my mother. She was in a very difficult place physically, and the care she had and still has kept her comfortable is just brilliant. Keeping her comfortable sounds like quite a small task, but it’s not; it encompasses
so much. She has dementia, but she always happily greets the carers, so I know she feels safe and happy. They are respectful of what she wants but also encouraging for what she needs. I was delighted to find her sat up and chatting yesterday, and looking forward to her day.

Even though they are understaffed they try to full fill all of her needs.

My mother is diabetic and wheat intolerant and everyone in the home are aware of these needs and can’t do enough for her.
The home is very clean and tidy and my mother's room is fantastic with its own bathroom and walk-in shower facilities.
I would highly recommend Pine Trees to anyone.

Impressed once again to receive a written update to the visiting guidelines from Pine Trees today which I think were only announced yesterday. My mother has been there a year now since being diagnosed with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's and the team have done nothing but impress our family from day
one. Their friendly support and the general stimulation of being there has improved my mother's quality of life ten fold from when she was alone at home, my father having passed away in 2019, not to mention the proper care and decent food that she now enjoys of course.
It's often considered that moving to a care home is the last resort for an elderly person but I feel that an earlier move can sometimes be quite beneficial if it improves mental stimulation and increases a person's integration with others. I couldn't praise the Manager and the staff at Pine Trees highly enough.
