Handley House

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Very pleased that staff at Handley House know our parent, and their needs. The staff are attentive and react well to feedback or suggestions, based on my experience of our parent. Whilst there is currently a transfer between roles due to staff changes, activities are arranged every day morning and afternoon.
Perhaps greater encouragement could be given to service users to take part, and a little more variety in activities too. Generally though the activities meet the needs of the service users, and our parent enjoys the trips out that are arranged. Whilst some of the service users have challenging needs to manage, overall, staff ensure that all service users are respected and included, regardless of their situation. It would be great if the garden area, and especially the area around the main reception, were given a little 'love' - plants are there but not maintained.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Handley House

Thank you for your lovely feedback and positive experience regarding Handley House. Regarding activities this is something we are always striving to improve on, activities are reviewed regularly in the home and resident and relative feedback and input is always listened to. With regards to the garden please be assured this is in hand, and arrangements are being made so this can be addressed. As you know we take a lot of pride in our gardens, and we are proud of how lovely they are, and all the work we did with residents, relatives, and the local community to make them a beautiful area within the grounds of the home.

My father moved into Handley House in August 2023. I was told my father would be on a floor where people were getting forgetful! My father did not have dementia.
To start with he had friends but over the last six months, this floor was filled with more and more dementia patients and a lady shouting,
'HELP ME!', night and day.
I cannot fault your staff or management (at the home) but for £1558 per week, my father was left in misery. I have moved him to a better care home.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Handley House

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your Father's experience did not meet your expectations. While we are pleased that you found our staff, management and facilities to be of a high standard, we sincerely regret that the environment on the floor was not suitable for your Father. We strive to ensure that every resident feels comfortable and supported, and we are sorry to hear that this was not the case. We take all feedback seriously and will review our placement and floor arrangements to ensure that resident's individual needs are better met in the future. Should you wish to discuss this further or provide additional details please can you contact us directly. We value your input and would like to address any concerns fully. Thank you again for your honest review, and we wish your Father all the best in his new care home.

All of the staff are wonderful, friendly and positive, and go the extra mile to help your loved one feel at home, and are also very welcoming to every visitor. Food is wonderful and activities

My mother has been a resident at Handley House since August 2020. Throughout her stay, she has been cared for with all the dignity and respect I could have hoped for. Over the last year her overall health had got worse but at no time did her care diminish. When it became obvious that she was fading
fast, the staff at Handley House stopped at nothing to keep Mum feeling calm and peaceful. They kept my brother and I fully informed and in her final days, they gave us both a space and time to share Mum's final moments. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Put Dad in for respite care whilst having a hip operation. Took him a couple of days to settle but then loved it, lots to do, great food, staff was brilliant. He was very happy. Shame it's so expensive.

I visited my friend who has hearing and sight loss, before I reached the room she was calling for assistance she lost the call button. She was sat on the wrong side. She has been moved to another floor from where there was higher staffing. I helped to make her comfortable before the personal care took
place a little while after.

My mum is so very well cared for. The staff are always so lovely and caring. She is treated with respect and dignity. The transition from living alone to coming here was so very upsetting for us all but Handley Hall made it so much easier, she has settled in so well. The activities are amazing. Thank
you all of Handley House.

I have had the pleasure to visit once a week for the last 9 months and have always had a warm welcome. Since my neighbour has been in Handley House he has enjoyed every aspect of his life.
He is communicative, always very presentable and takes part in a majority of activities. It has been a joy to
see how he has improved since being at the home. Thank you.

All the staff I have encountered treat my Dad with care, dignity and respect. I love the fact they all know him by name and he loves it. When they show delight in his 'dapper' clothes. So many activities are organised for the residents. My dad especially enjoys the musical ones. It is also nice to see
my dad interacting with other residents (he was lovely at home since Mum died). Well done to Handley House, expensive but definitely worth it to see him happy and the peace of mind it gives us as a family.

Thank you for taking the time to send a lovely review. It’s amazing how much difference some company, entertainment and good old-fashioned TLC can make to someone’s whole well-being, mental and physical. We are so pleased your aunt joined us.

Mum lived at Handley House for 18 months; as she deteriorated, the wonderful staff increased the care and support they provided for her. In her last month, despite being a residential home, not a nursing home, the staff worked tirelessly to ensure Mum was looked after to the best possible standard.
Not only did the staff provide personal care and support for my mum, they also found the time to do the same for me and my family. The staff care passionately about each resident and I can’t thank them enough for what they did for us. Mum loved birds so one of Mum’s regular carers took the time to bring in a canary to lift her spirits when she became less mobile. The staff do a very difficult job very well. I was so grateful that Mum’s last days were with her second family.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Handley House

Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful and heartfelt review. Your mum was a great presence in the home and she is very sorely missed by staff and residents alike. Whether it was greeting visitors to her floor, watching David Attenborough or being a mother hen to any children who came to visit, she was a beloved member of the Handley House family. Our team always puts the needs of our residents first and will do everything they can to make them happy and as healthy as they can be. We know our team are head and shoulders above the best but it’s lovely to hear it from you. We hope you will still pop by and join us for events in the home (or just a brew), you are part of the family too and will always be welcome.

Handley House is to be commended for providing such excellent care for my mother. All the staff are kind, efficient, helpful and warm. It is so heartening to see the level of attentiveness provided for all the residents here, and also the relatives. It is comforting to know how well looked after the
residents are. On top of this, the food is delicious. I've seldom seen my mum so keen for the next meal! The premises are beautiful and more like a top hotel and always clean and so well maintained. We firmly believe that my mum is in the best care home in the district and are so grateful to the whole team here.

Lovely residential home, clean and very tidy. I don't know if personal care ie, showering, and bathing is part of the service or if extra care is required. My friend has dementia and on occasion has same clothes on for days and her laundry doesn't get taken every day so she puts on dirty clothes at
times two. Overall an excellent facility may be a one-to-one assistance person in hygiene.
