Overall Experience

What kind people who looked after my wife. Thank you so much. What impressed me and my family who visited the home on many occasions was so helpful. The nurses and general assistants were caring for her in her last days. We shall all. Fondly remember theses difficult times where kindness does especially,

count.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Elm View Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to have helped you and your family through such a difficult time. We are saddened to hear about your loss and send our deepest condolences. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

Overall Experience

A lot of time and money and disruption over more than 4 months has been involved in refurbishment here and it's still ongoing. However I'm disappointed that money hasn't been spent on employing more care staff.
My aunt has assisted feeding, yet when I was visiting her, coffee was brought without sugar

(she's been there over 3 years so it should be routine); and no one arrived to assist, or to check we were OK helping her. If I'd not been there, it would have been left on a table she can't see or reach to go cold.
Answer to call bell is way too long, resulting in residents having an accident when they need toilet assistance.
Activities in the lounge are for a small number of residents who are able to access them. A nice activity would be for someone simply to visit the very frail and sit with them for companionship.

Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Elm View Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate that refurbishment can be disruptive and we have tried our best to minimise the impact on our residents during this time. The work is almost complete and we hope our residents will enjoy our newly furbished areas. We have liaised with the home manager who has confirmed that Elm View is currently fully staffed and that our activities programme includes a mix of activities and one to one sessions. The health and wellbeing of our residents is an absolute priority for us and whilst we can't discuss specific cases or personal details here, our care home manager would welcome the opportunity to discuss with you the concerns you raise about your relative. You can contact the home directly by calling 01275 872088. Alternatively, you can email feedback@bupa.com with your contact details and the team will be in touch to discuss things further.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Elm View for 4 years now and the care has been wonderful. The new manager is second to none. She is an amazing asset to the home and displays all the qualities one would wish for from a resident's and family member's perspective. She has time to listen, is kind and empathetic

and is always willing to go that extra mile for both resident and their loved ones. A true professional, who is proactive, honest, trusted and considerate. Her staff are also superb - always smiling and welcoming. The home's recent refurbishment makes the place feel more homely.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Elm View Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your mother in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved ones stay as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience

Very impressed by the care provided to my mother for what turned out to be the final three weeks of her life. The level of care and support was exceptional; The staff were kind, supportive to her, and friendly towards her friends and family members too. At all times treating her with dignity and respect.

I really cannot praise the facilities and the team there highly enough. A difficult and distressing time was made as comfortable as it could be.

Mum has been at Norewood Lodge for over a year and has been well looked after. Thank goodness for Norwood Lodge! The staff are all so kind and friendly. Mum never planned to go into a nursing home, but Norwood Lodge has done a good job of looking after Mum. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Although Mum was well looked after she was quite lonely at times due to her poor hearing and eyesight. She is also an extremely early riser and this did not fit in with the routine. She enjoyed most of the afternoon entertainment. I thought the food was pretty good.

Reply from Rosie Smith, Customer Advisor at Norewood Lodge Care Home

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the staff at Norewood Lodge Care Home. We are happy to hear that Mum was looked after within the home and will bear your comments in mind for future care. Best wishes.

Could not have had a better place with excellent staff. They looked after my Mother as she passed away.
They (the staff) put everyone who visited Mum at ease and treated Mum as if she were their own Mother/Grandmother.
Highly recommend Norewood Lodge.

Overall Experience

I cannot praise Norewood Lodge and its wonderful staff highly enough. My father was bed-bound and had to be hoisted twice daily between his bed and armchair, which the staff did willingly and cheerfully. My father, although physically incapacitated, was mentally acute and interacted with the staff,

although he chose to have little contact with the other residents. He had his books, letters and poetry and was very content with that. When Southmead Hospital put him on their 'purple butterfly' pathway, he requested to be returned to Norewood Lodge, to end his days with his 'other family', and they looked after him with love and care.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Norewood Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your kind words, it is really wonderful to hear your father felt so comfortable and well-cared for at our Norewood Lodge home. It's an honour that he chose to come back to us for his final days, and we hope it is a comfort to know he felt like a part of our Bupa family. We are saddened to hear about your loss and hope you are able to look back on this experience knowing he received the best possible care.

My brother was quite shy and retiring, after living alone for a long time. After two weeks of respite care in Norewood Lodge, much to my relief he requested to stay permanently. The staff are excellent and have gently coaxed him into joining in and are making his last days really enjoyable. I can't

praise them enough.

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Norewood Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your brother in our care and it is lovely to hear that he is starting to join in more and starting to enjoy himself at Norewood Lodge. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your brother's stay as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience

My dear mum moved into Norewood Lodge in August 2021, initially for respite care but she soon decided to stay. She felt safe, and content and having both nurses and carers available 24/7 gave her and us the reassurance needed. Mum adapted quickly to her new surroundings. She loved watching the ships

go up the channel and joined in afternoon activities. Particularly enjoying the quizzes, weekly armchair exercises and the bingo of course. The prizes kept her in hand cream and snacks all week! Mum made some friends during her 2.5-year stay. One of the carers acted as her plus one at her grandson's wedding and completely supported her during the data enabling the rest of the family to enjoy both the day and Mum's company. The care at Norewood is second to none. Thanks, team Norewood.

Overall Experience

I chose this care home in the town where I live for a recovery period following a hip replacement operation (I am a fit 88-year-old). I was pleasantly surprised by everything I found here. My room was well equipped and corridors very suitable for tentative walkers on frames and crutches. All the staff

were totally friendly. Food had choices and was always very tasty. Any need was met. Meals could be taken in the bedroom or the dining room. Entertainment was provided in a lounge in the afternoon. I extended my stay by a week so that speaks for itself.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Elm View Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are really pleased to hear you had such a wonderful experience and felt so at ease whilst in our care. It's great to hear everything from our food, to the entertainment and home facilities were at an excellent standard. Thank you for choosing Elm View for your stay.

Overall Experience

No matter how made, a decision for a loved one to move into a care home is very difficult. Both my parents spent the final part of their long lives in separate periods in Norewood Lodge in Portishead; my mother between November 2019 and her passing in July 2022, and my father in the final six months

of his life in 2023. The staff at Norewood Lodge treated both my parents with great dignity and went out of their way to ensure that they were comfortable and that all their needs were met - for my father this included putting him to bed between 5 pm and 6 pm and delivering his daily porridge at 6 am. Their rooms were spacious and airy - my father’s room looked across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coast. Although it was sometimes difficult seeing both our parents in the late evening of their lives, the staff of Norewood Lodge went above and beyond in ensuring that their final days were in a secure and caring environment. My brother and I shall always remember Norewood Lodge with affection.

The wonderful staff have given the utmost care and attention to my father. He was with you for five and a half months. I’m sad he never got to see the garden or the restaurant, but this can’t be helped. He was so well looked after, and for this, I am eternally grateful. I truly cannot fault you.
