The Vale Care Home

Currently my dad resides at the vale. He needs full care as his body no longer functions due to his Parkinson's and other Parkinson related illnesses. However, he is sound of mind, enjoys being grumpy, says what he thinks and quite stubborn at times too! But the staff understand that, don't take
offence and actually take the time to talk him round! They bend over backwards trying to make his meals varied despite his strict soft food diet and the chef even sits and goes through menus with him.


They have regular entertainment and activities, celebrations and events. This week he had his birthday and they spoilt him with a tea party, full decorations and food. It was wonderful.


His room has been freshly decorated and is always clean, the home is always warm and never seems to have a smell (which others can do) nothings too much trouble.


I would definitely recommend and we're so pleased he went on respite there as they gave him the care that made the transition to full care easier

I attended a review meeting regarding my father who is a resident. The meeting room was appropriate for the meeting. I was met at the door by a staff member and escorted to the meeting room. Appropriate refreshments were offered and my father (resident) and mother were treated with dignity and respect.
All staff members were personable, pleasant and helpful.

My mam is happy and safe which is priceless to me. She is a bit fed up of the sausages for lunch but they are ok if really well cooked. Her room is clean and tidy, we are still waiting for a second call button in her room. The staff are really caring and friendly and cannot do enough for her. The manager
is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very approachable.

Reply from Angela Mason, Manager at The Vale Care Home

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete a review of our home; your loved one is always involved in choosing what they would like to eat, we also hold residents meeting with the kitchen staff to review the food and make suggestions of what they would like to see on the menu, we have plenty of choices. The call bell has been ordered and will be fitted ASAP. Please feel free to speak with me for an update as you know my door is always open.

I have dealt with The Cedars through having both my father and two aunties as residents. I found being a purpose-built home in an excellent central position, easy for visitors to get to was an excellent choice. The staff were brilliant, senior management and admin were very efficient, the entertainment
team provided many activities for residents while the care staff were both friendly and caring. In my opinion the best care home in the area.

Mum has had excellent care despite having alzheimers and being challenging at times. Staff are caring and compassionate from admin domiciliary carers nurses and managers. Her carer particularly has gone above and beyond to make mum comfortable and her family feel welcome and included. The rooms are
comfortable and clean and the food is excellent.

Aside from my mum's medical and health conditions it is a pleasure to come and visit my mum. The Cedars and Larches Care Home staff are always friendly and helpful and are always present. The home is clean and tidy. My mum's health conditions sometime mean she is not settled but she is always well dressed
and clean. I never leave the home fearing for my mum's safety.

I can’t praise all the staff enough management, senior care, all carers, nursing, entertainment staff, cleaners, maintenance, and chefs all. There isn’t a time I haven’t arrived and been greeted with a smile and kind words for me as well as Dad. He is happy and well cared for and definitely fed well,
my dad has never been a big mixer but there isn’t a time when he isn’t involved now crafts (not his favourite) but ball games, singing, gardening, dancing and the main thing he always has a smile. Thank you all.

I just want to say what a wonderful home-from-home you provided for my friend and how you helped her husband by feeding him to make sure he was looked after when he visited every day.
The home even set up a little celebration for them when I asked if I could bring a cake in for their sixty-ninth wedding
anniversary.
Such care was greatly appreciated. Thank you for going the extra mile. Unfortunately, they didn't make their seventieth.
On a final note, the home was always spotless no smells, which to me told me everything. The staff are always friendly especially one staff member in particular, who I seemed to see often. Thank you to the entertainment staff too.
With my grateful thanks for looking after my friends, who I have known since I was a little girl nearly eighty years ago. God Bless you all.

My mother is residing at The Cedars and Larches Care Home. The level of care, facilities and attention to residents are very good. However, the care assistants spend too long completing care manuals all through the day, and I feel that time could be spent attending to residents. Although expensive to
initiate, I am sure some sort of computer system could be more beneficial to the carers, residents and care home management.

Reply from Katie Barnett, Marketing Executive at The Cedars and Larches Care Home

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind comments about our home. We take comments seriously and always welcome feedback. We have been digitising our activity reporting and are delighted that a significant amount of time has been saved, meaning the team can spend more quality time with residents doing things such as virtual tours to faraway places, armchair exercises, looking at local history, arts and crafts as well as competitive quizzes and games that residents love. As ever, our home manager has an open-door policy and would be happy to discuss this further with you. Thank you again.

I came in for 2 weeks respite and stayed for 3 the manager is lovely nothing too much trouble. The staff are fantastic they make you feel very welcome and nothing too much trouble for them. It's just like being at home, the rooms are cleaned every day and the dinner cook is fantastic. You have home-cooked
meals every day and they cater for your needs to like. I have and will be coming back and hoping to stay for good and they say I can help with the entertainment side of things which I will look forward to so I can't wait till February.

Reply from Natalie Bullimore, Manager at The Vale Care Home

Thank you, Leah, it was an absolute pleasure having you in the home for three weeks and we look forward to you coming back to stay with us in February.
We have now filled the activities with a more robust table following the input from the other residents and now the position is fully filled.
It will be a great pleasure having you work alongside our activities coordinators. See you in February!

My father has been a resident for nine months. Didn't see him for a period of time due to Covid, but felt at ease knowing he was being cared for by all the excellent staff. I feel so welcomed every time I visit. Nothing is too much for them. I feel they are all my extended family. They treat my dad
as their own, in a very professional manner, of course. The home is always clean. The food looks excellent - choices, I'm even offered snacks and drinks when visiting. I went on Christmas Day and was treated like a Queen. Keep up the excellent work.
