Have been in care after a second hip operation and the quality and professionalism given here have exceeded all expectations. I cannot speak highly enough of each individual working here. I would recommend it to anyone. The Towans the help with recovery or to anyone who needs to come in as a resident.

Am very grateful to each on here. They treat each one in their care as special.

Overall Experience

Some Five months ago I started attending The Towans Care Home, for respite care, once or twice a week. I feel that the staff have been excellent in understanding my needs, and make me feel very welcome and safe in their hands. They are approachable and nothing is too much trouble for them. They work

very well together to support the residents and make us feel part of a family. The Towan's activities are quite outstanding and very well organised. We do various activities such as Tai Chi, entertaining games, like Name That Tune, and Musical Bingo. We have visiting singers and musicians, also Alpacas and Owls have come to see us, which is very interesting. The food is excellent, very well cooked and varied. I never expected everything to turn out so well and it certainly has opened my eyes. I've been, able to make new friends and attending The Towans has enriched my quality of life. I have no hesitation, whatsoever in recommending The Towans to anyone.

Overall Experience

My mother moved into The Towans, for 2 weeks respite care, in November 2024, following a couple of falls in her home. The respite care was quickly converted to permanent residency as we were delighted with the home and care received. The staff are amazing. So kind, caring and cheerful. They are very

dedicated to the residents, helping them to live their best lives, in their remaining years. My mother hadn't wanted to move into care, but she was soon won over. She can't fault the care received. The food is excellent. Great choice for each meal with sensible, tempting portions. My mother had become quite isolated at home, seeing only her daily carers and occasional friends and family. She is now taking part in most of the activities. She enjoys the company of the other residents and has made some very nice friends. She even tried knitting recently, something she hadn't done for about 30 years. We couldn't praise The Towans highly enough. It's a wonderful home with superb staff.

Reply from Lucy Ledger, Business Support at The Towans

What can we say? That review has really touched us, such wonderful and thoughtful words. It means so much to our staff to hear what families have to say about the care their precious loved ones receive here. We are thrilled your dear mum wanted to stay at The Towans and love having you all as part of our extended Towans family.

Overall Experience

My mum has been at The Towens Care Home for almost a year now. The change in her is wonderful to see. She is happier healthier and a lot more social. I can't praise the care staff enough for the first-class care they give to Mum. The towens always have activities each day for the residents to take part

in which Mum loves and she's always looking forward to meal times as she tells me the food is lovely. I really can't fault the excellent care she receives.

Reply from Sophie F, Care Manager at The Towans

Thank you for such a glowing review, reading people's reviews is honestly such an encouragement to us. It really is our pleasure to care for your mum & it is wonderful to see the smile on her face during all the activities she participates in.

I have visited friends at this residential home many times. All the residents seem happy and are well cared for. They have interesting activities every afternoon and numerous entertainers are invited to the home to entertain the residents. The staff there appear to me to be very caring.

Overall Experience

My mum has been in The Towans for around 4 years now and is extremely happy there and far more outgoing and social than she has been for years. This is due to the amazing staff who are always friendly and helpful. There are loads of different and imaginative activities that she enjoys taking part in.

The building and grounds are beautiful, and Mum has a lovely light room. It is good to know that she is safe, happy and well looked after.

Reply from Lucy Ledger-Wielkopolska, Admin/Accounts at The Towans

We are so pleased that your Mum continues to enjoy her time with us and that she has seen some significant benefits to being within a home setting. It also means so much to our whole team to know that you are reassured knowing she is safe and well with ourselves.

Overall Experience

The Towans is lovely. It really feels like 'home' and my aunt is very happy there. All of the staff are absolutely fantastic, they are all so kind and patient - every single one of them. I cannot praise them all highly enough. The effort put into making the residents happy is lovely, there are musical

afternoons, games, quizzes and armchair exercise classes to name but a few. My aunt has been there for a year now but when she first went in she was really struggling at home and looked terrible, ill and grey, but within a month of being at The Towans she looked so much better, putting on weight and rosy cheeks, it really transformed her life. The peace of mind knowing that she is in safe hands is such a relief! I think it is wonderful! I don't think even Sherlock Holmes could find somewhere better!

Reply from Lucy Ledger, Business Support at The Towans

We are a little lost for words at your incredibly touching review, thank you so much for taking the time to compose it. We are so proud of our team and the difference they make to so many residents. It is often a really hard decision for families to make regarding when is the right time to make this move and we know that reviews like yours go a long way to help reassure future residents' families who are making the decision. And yes, even Watson would agree there is likely no better home.

Everything about my mother's stay in the Towans has been superb. She was very anxious when she arrived but the commitment of the staff quickly eased her initial fears. Throughout her stay she has been well looked after and staff go out of their way to ensure her needs are met. I would have no hesitation

recommending The Towans.

Overall Experience

The Towans itself is a lovely, mature building with a warm homely traditional vibe. This together with an amazing body of staff makes it a perfect place for my mum who has been a resident for almost two years. Over this time Mum has had two stays in hospital. The staff worked hard on both occasions

to get her back to The Towans as soon as possible so that they could ensure her recovery. On every visit or on any time I collect Mum and return her, she is welcomed back with a lovely greeting and she always smiles and seems to be relieved to be back. There is always something going on and the constantly updated social media page backs this up! Lovely photos of all the activities from music and exercise to live singers and dancing. The activities organiser does a fantastic job. I have a lot of contact with one particular member of staff who has been an amazing support to Mum and myself throughout the change from Mum living with us to now living at the Towans. I highly recommend the Towans.

Overall Experience

So pleased with the way everyone at The Towans has taken care of my aunt since she moved in 3 months ago. There's been a lot of changes in her life - from living independently, and driving just months ago, to now surrendering her full-time care to these people, and I can honestly say the team have

worked hard to help her adjust, fit in and feel part of their family. One staff member in particular and her team have gone above and beyond what we could have expected any care home to do and have done it all with a smile and exceptionally good grace. We cannot fault them, and the care given has been perfectly tailored to providing my aunt with everything to adjust to this new phase of her life. I completely recommend The Towans, and the staff member mentioned previously is the glue that keeps everything running smoothly. she is a pure gem and cares deeply for each resident - which is so reassuring. Thank you for all you've done, it's lifted a weight off our minds to know how well she is taken care of - I'd give you 6 stars if I could!

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at The Towans for 16 months now. She enjoys living there, has a lovely sea view room and the company of other residents when she wants that. Mum was unable to continue living alone in her supported bungalow and The Towans was the obvious place for both her and us, living close

by. The staff are amazingly friendly, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. If a problem arises, they are quick to deal with it, keeping me informed at all times which has been my request. The afternoon activities are interesting and varied. I've been to several of them and thoroughly enjoyed seeing residents getting involved, being encouraged to be active and engage according to their ability. The activities coordinator comes up with such a varied programme, always interesting and unusual! I enjoy visiting Mum, who is now 97. Certainly, she's flourished since being at The Towans. Food is plentiful and of a high standard. I highly recommend it!

Overall Experience

The Towans is an amazing care home, the staff are very caring and always go out of their way to make the individuals they look after happy and content. Towans has fantastic activities in the morning and afternoon, going the extra mile to incorporate different skills to maintain individuals' mobility

and maintain active minds. Spending time and encouraging them to engage and remain active. Staff spend time with individuals in their rooms or in the communal areas in morning and evening after the fun and games that occur after lunch in activities. The staff are jolly and the atmosphere of the care home is welcoming and bright. Nothing is too much for the staff and each department are always willing to help when asked. The care the individuals receive shines through as they all look well and cared for. They strive to give choice and adapt to the individuals' own routine and encourage them to share their wishes and wants so Towans can provide personalised care.

I really cannot rate the Towans highly enough. 5* doesn't do it justice. My Mum was a resident of The Towans for 3 years before passing away today. Whilst Mum was in hospital they pushed out all the stops to help get her back Home to the Towans for end-of-life care. Oxygen was ordered, the room rearranged,

the bed sorted etc. When Mum passed away she was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. They have been kindness itself to me and our family. Really nothing is too much trouble. Finding Mum a place at The Towans is one of thd best decisions I made. A full and varied menu and activities everyday arranged. The whole team are fantastic. Thank you isn't enough.

Reply from Debra Wielkopolska, Owner at The Towans

It was a real honour to look after your Mum, thank you for trusting us with her life and her care. She was a real character and everyone still misses her. We were also pleased that she could end her days in the place she knew and surrounded by the people she knew so well and I am glad it helped you and your family knowing that when she passed away. Thank you as well for the review, it will mean a lot to the staff that their residents and families and friends are happy with what they do and being a great team.

My mother has been living at The Towans for about two and a half years now. Over that time her health has declined and her needs have increased. However, the amazing staff always treat her with kindness, respect and humour. They know her well and are able to get the best out of her every day. Mum always

We would not hesitate to recommend The Towans Nursing home. They take exceptional care of my father-in-law.
