Church View Nursing & Residential Home

from Marie R (Sister of Resident) published on 18 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My sister has now been a resident at Churchview for over three years. Her care has been outstanding and unfortunately recently her health has deteriorated. The manager and staff have tried their best to make my sister as comfortable as possible the past few weeks and have been in constant contact with
me as I live quite a distance from the area. When I visited yesterday I was so comforted to see how they were managing her care. Thank you so much to all the amazing staff for their care and attention.

Reply from Abi Warley, Digital Marketing Assistant at Church View Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It's amazing to hear how outstanding your sister's care has been at Church View.

Since my mum went in late Dec 2024 she has been well looked after. The home is clean and tidy, personal care is good, food is fabulous, and there are loads of activities. Mum is thriving and tells us she is happy and been there for years! All the staff are so approachable

from M M (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Would highly recommend Brooklands Care Home. Mum has been there 12 months now. My appreciation for all the amazing team continues to grow. Mum has a lovely room overlooking the garden with her own toilet.
There are lots of activities daily with a wide variety to suit different needs but all fun, and
celebrating the year such as VE Day etc. Mum really enjoys the food, she is eating well and her health has been much improved since being a resident. The home is outstanding, the biggest recommendation has to be the staff though. They are fabulous. From the management to carers to kitchen to the domestic team I can't praise them enough. They are professional, engaged in care, compassionate and go well beyond expectations. It is so reassuring to know mum is safe and cared for by professionals. They should be very proud of all they do.

The care staff, nurses, cleaning team, and kitchen team are excellent. They work really hard to give the care and attention that the residents need. Over the year, I feel the home and the atmosphere has improved greatly, the residents are calm and seem to be engaging more. This is my observation. My
only worry is there are not enough staff, management have come out to help also recently. My dad is happy and his care is very good.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My first impression was that this nursing home was beautifully maintained and cleaned. Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and keen to meet all of my father's requirements. The communication with the manager (who has been at the home for 20 years), deputy, nursing and catering staff has all
happened seamlessly between myself and at least four other family members. Staff have facilitated friendships with other residents and provided the stimulation, food and medical care which my dad has required since leaving his bungalow. He is happy and comfortable.

Dovehaven Grove

This is an awful place. The day of admission was absolutely awful, a complete disaster from start to finish. Incompetent area manager. It took ages to get in - you needed to ring the bell multiple times. They lost a load of Mum's belongings. It was always understaffed (although the staff that I saw
were all nice and competent enough). The food was brought in in plastic trays and reheated. One time they had a virus/bug in the home and they let us in without telling us until we'd been in the home for about half an hour. I had to constantly ring/email them to send me an invoice. Avoid.

Garden Lodge Care Centre

My grandad has been at Garden Lodge care home since March 2024. I have never seen him so happy, relaxed and enjoying his life. He is constantly smiling and kept busy throughout the day. The home is very safe and secure meaning that residents are unable to let themselves out on their own. This is amazing
for us as my grandad let himself out and wandered away from the previous care home he lived. The atmosphere in the care home is fantastic and the care assistants are real-life angels who really cannot do enough for the residents. I enjoy going to visit my grandad. Such a relaxed environment. We were even able to throw him a little birthday party in our own private room and spend time all together as a family. We are truly grateful that we are able to make these wonderful memories. Thank you so much Garden Lodge. Thank you for making my grandad so happy and relaxed.

Garden Lodge Care Centre

My family member is a resident and I can't praise the care home enough. My family member was placed in another care home facility before coming to Garden Lodge and am sure they cared for them to the best of their abilities but it was so distressing for both my family member and the family, since coming
to Garden Lodge it's been amazing, no stress or anxiety settled in perfectly. The management and staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble, you are greeted like a friend. The care for my family member is amazing, always treated with respect, dignity and loving care. All the activities they lay on are fabulous and everyone is welcome to join in so thank you and well done Garden Lodge you are all angels.

Reply from Daisy Edmondson, Marketing Executive at Garden Lodge Care Centre

I can't thank the staff enough for what they have done for Dad, when he entered the home it felt like home, he settled quickly and that's down to the excellent staff at Garden Lodge. The staff treat him like family and as his family, we are delighted and have no problem leaving him after a visit because
he's well looked after. Well done Garden Lodge we can't thank you all enough.

Our mum has been in Garden Lodge for 7 years now and the staff and home are absolutely amazing. If ever I have had any issues, then the manager and the staff have dealt with them quickly. My mum's room is spotless and the care is second to none. I would highly recommend Garden Lodge if you have a relative
who needs care. Thank you to the manager and all the staff for looking after my mum so well.

My dad has been a resident since October, we were reluctant at first due to the distance as it takes me an hour to get there and Mum 2 buses, however, I wouldn't want my dad anywhere else. The team are amazing and they are a team, they all work together, my dad has settled so well, there is a lot to
keep him entertained and I know he's safe and happy there which is a great relief for us. When we visit we feel part of their family too
