Thank you so much for your lovely review and taking the time to write it, it means so much to us all. We try very hard to create a "family" and we recognise that having a loved one living in a nursing home is a very difficult decision to have to make. The ethos we try to maintain is we are there to serve and the Home is the residents Home and we are all guests with the privilege to provide care and comfort, not only to the residents but to their family and friends.Thank you again for the review, I will make sure all staff at Fort Horsted get to see it,with kindest regards, Director of Care Services

I am sorry to learn of your concerns and I can only apologise that we appear to have fallen short in the service that we pride ourselves in. We have a robust housekeeping team and all our staff complete infection control training as one of the many training courses we provide for our staff. The communication between management and staff I am not sure I understand what your experience would have been of this but would be happy to discuss this in person with you. I am sorry that you find our furnishing outdated, we continue to invest in refurbishment and equipment to ensure our residents have a comfortable home. I would very much welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss your issues and concerns and although I am not based at the Home I am happy to come a meet you at a time convenient to yourself. Please feel free to email me or contact the Home and the administrator can arrange a meeting for us. Kindest Regards

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review. We believe it is a great privilege to be able to care for people and understand that some situations may be hard for the person to accept and that can, in turn, make it hard for them to remain positive towards others, we will continue to do a very best to provide a caring and supportive environment. Thank you again. Kindest Regards

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review, your mum was such a lovely lady and we all miss her at Temple Ewell. She taught us all great lessons in patience and tolerance and Godly serenity. As always such a privilege when we can share in a family's love and care.

Thank you for your lovely review. The whole team believe it to be a huge privilege to be in the role they are in, providing care and support to people, often in the most vulnerable of times. We try hard to base our care on home from home, family within family, whilst always maintaining our professionalism. Thank you again for taking the time to write this review, it truly is appreciated.

Thank you so much for your review. We work hard to try and treat every resident and their family and friends as "family" and we base our practices very much on how we would ourselves like to be treated. We believe it is a great privilege when someone chooses to live with us and make our home, their home.
