Overall Experience

My auntie has lived in Brackenfield for a few years now. She has settled in really well; the staff are very friendly, warm and comforting when entering the home and, above all, very caring. I can not thank the home enough for all their hard work and caring nature to my auntie. She is living her best

life at Brackenfield.

Review of
Herries Lodge
from E D (Husband of Resident) published on 8 April 2025

Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

After caring for my wife for almost 3 years I had a stroke and was put in hospital for a while, my two children had to put her into Herries Lodge Care Home. When I left hospital, I visited her with my daughter and found my wife happy and quite settled in, which was a relief to me. Alzheimer's is a awful

complaint but my wife was happy with the home and staff, all which are lovely. The rooms for each patient are just like a 1st class hotel, she enjoys the food in the care home and she has put on weight whilst there. She is very happy with her room and her care whilst she is in the care home - she is very happy with all the staff and care. All in all our family are quite happy with it. She enjoys the concerts with the singers and she sings along.

Overall Experience

My mum has been on end of life care for a few weeks but has thankfully turned a corner. All made the more possible with the amazing care from all the staff at Hatfield House, who have continued to provide exceptional care to my mum, whilst supporting me on this journey.

I cannot express my gratitude

enough, not just for the past few weeks, but also for the past 2 years of care they've provided to my mum. Mum is treated with respect, dignity and shown love and support.

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Herries for a couple of years and we have found all staff so caring and friendly. It was very good, but seems to go from strength to strength, the activities seem to have increased and everyone is encouraged to join in, with a structured time table of events on display. It was mum's

birthday and staff went above and beyond to make her day special, setting the table with china tea set and cakes, with banners and balloons out, which was lovely. Thank you to all staff who are wonderful.

Overall Experience

We visit Mum in Hatfield House very regularly and hand on heart I can say we are always impressed and very grateful. Not only is the care excellent but it is truly individualised and given with love and attention to detail . Residents needs clearly differ but all are treated with professionalism and

kindness and when appropriate, humour.
Well done to all staff, you are amazing.

Review of
Prior Bank
from Jessica O (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 April 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

All the staff at Prior Bank care home are always helpful and friendly. I feel I can approach them and talk to them about anything that may be concerning me. Similarly, they will get in touch if there is anything they need to talk to me about. They were especially helpful on my mum's 90th birthday last

November, providing sandwiches and drinks in the quiet room.

Reply from Simone Clover, Manager at Prior Bank

Thank you for taking the time to review Prior Bank and we are pleased that you rate our care/ support as excellent. It was our pleasure to celebrate Mum's 90th birthday. We've recently decorated our bedrooms and also updated our bedroom experiences with new bedding. We've also enhanced our dining experience with new table cloths, serviettes and also decorated our dining room. We're glad you are happy with Prior Bank, where I'm always happy to discuss feedback to ensure that care and all aspects of day to day life are to the satisfaction of our residents and their loved ones.

My mum has had some health challenges. Staff and management have supported mum and all family members. The whole team have worked together to connect with health service, communicate with family and reassure mum. The level of care has been excellent and given peace of mind to us as a family. We can't

thank you enough.

Review of
Prior Bank
from Simon R (Son of Resident) published on 21 March 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We were very anxious about my mother coming to Prior Bank as she had always said that she didn't want to go into a care home. However, as her Alzheimer's progressed, it proved impossible to care for her safely at home. We live in the next street to her old house & visited her every day, and we had carers

coming in every lunchtime, but even with that level of support it was becoming unsafe once my mother started wandering out of the house at odd times.
So we were nervous about her coming to Prior Bank and feared that she would hate it. In fact she has settled in really well, and the staff are clearly fond of her. She clearly enjoys having people around all the time, and - to our great surprise - she has even taken to joining in with communal activities of the sort that she would have probably turned her nose up at a couple of years ago (bingo, singing along with crooning songs etc).
So very happy indeed, and it is a great relief that the staff are now responsible for her care.

I cannot speak too highly of the care I have received. I have only been in residence for a matter of weeks but during that time my husband died and the care and consideration I have received has been without parallel. Both staff and management have made it the best place to be at this time.

Review of
Hatfield House
from Claire A (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I cannot praise the staff at Hatfield House enough for the care they have given to my dad over the last 4 years. He is treated like a member of the family, is well looked after and really loves living at Hatfield House. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. My dad has a brilliant sense of

humour and the staff love to have a laugh and a joke with him which he really appreciates.
Hatfield House is extremely well run and I am grateful every day to have found such a wonderful place for my dad to live.
My mum was also at Hatfield House prior to passing away and I will never forget the care and love shown to my mum and the rest of our family in her final days by everyone at Hatfield House.
I would not hesitate to recommend Hatfield House to anyone. Thank you Hatfield House - you are amazing!!

Overall Experience

Have been quite impressed by my time at Oakwood Grange. I did not know what to expect as many bad reviews are published about various care homes. I have settled here well. Everyone is so friendly. Managment, staff, carers and other residents food is varied and good, room is clean and common areas attractive

and welcoming. Can eat in the dining room or my own room - it is good to have a choice. There are lots of smiley faces about which is good too.
