Overall Experience

This care home is wonderful, the staff go back and beyond to help the residence nothing is too much trouble. The home has a very nice feel to it and the first thing I noticed when I went there it didn't smell of urine. I take my hat off to the staff for looking after my brother because he hasn't been

the easiest.

My mother came to Cavell House from hospital and since arriving the staff have been helpful, kind and sympathetic towards her. She has been kept warm, safe and well catered for. You could not expect any more from a care home.

Overall Experience

I wouldn't wish a homeless person coming in here. This isn't a care home but a dumping ground for the elderly people who have dementia. My poor mum was shut in a shed-like room. We were told she couldn't go into the lounge or dining room or take part in activities, that's if they had any. Her room was

clean but that's it. Mum's Christmas gift went missing including most of Mum's clothes. It's certainly not a loving homely place at all. Prison is better than this place so please be aware of you choosing this place to care for your loved one.

Reply from Caroline Walker, Home support at Oake Meadows Nursing Home

We are sorry that you feel your experience of our home was not positive. We are always happy to discuss individual concerns with residents and their families and we have been talking with a member of your family. Our home is a happy and welcoming place and this, and the care and support given, is reflected in the many five-star reviews we receive.

Overall Experience

The whole experience my nan and us as a family received here was awful. My poor nan was left all day every day in her room, the majority of staff were far from professional and the care in general was terrible. The notes weren't always the truth as they used to write that she had declined food even

though I sat with her and assisted her with many of her meals which she ate all of, and the staff could never give us proper updates and were very cold hearted and didn't seem to actually want to be there. We were told she wouldn't be able to take part in activities or sit in the lounge diner with other residents which was a red flag for me from the start. Also they lost half a wardrobe of my nan's clothes which were labelled, as well as loosing some sentimental items of hers which yet again they didn't care. I was a HCA in a nursing home and my god, I've never seen such a cold hearted run down place in my years. Some days I would visit my nan and felt I was having to do their job for them.

Overall Experience

We felt very welcome into the home to visit our aunt in her last few months. All the staff treated her with love and kindness. She always looked clean and well cared for. The room was bright and airy with a nice view of garden. Although our aunt had dementia and was easily distressed, we found her much

more settled here than at her previous care home. We commend the nursing staff for their compassion and professionalism.

Overall Experience

My mum has been at Cameron House since June 2022 and whilst it was a massive change for Mum and the family. Home management and carers have helped Mum to settle in and helped me and my sister get used to and understand how Cameron House works for the residents. Working with them to ensure Mum's needs

are met has been a journey. But I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and understanding. The loving ways they have with my mum, I feel she is in safe hands.

Overall Experience

My mother was on the willow ward at Oake Meadows, Trull in Taunton. The staff were very kind compassionate and caring to my mum and our family. They allowed dogs in to visit which all residents loved. We are so very grateful for everything. Mum was 94 and actually died of frailty, we could not have

asked for better interactions from all staff, nurses, helpers, and cleaners, everyone was wonderful and respectful. They treated the whole family with dignity, genuine care, and support.

Cavell House Care Home
from Andy M (Son of Resident) published on 9 December 2024

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Some staff more compassionate/caring than others. Told by nurse within minutes of mum's admission that I had to get an undertaker as the body needs be removed within 3 hours of death. Brutal. One nurse has zero compassion/people skills. Lovely staff helped personalise mum's room which helped massively.

Staff shortages lead to unanswered call bells and mum being left in soiled pants some mornings. I requested medicine for painful mouth ulcers, nothing was actioned so I was told to buy over counter myself. Then nurse refused to administer it! Staff smoke on premises (outside). I had to push hard for mum to receive a direct drive for final days as the regular injections were causing her to scream in pain. I received a call at midnight to say mum had died and the nurse said "I told you to wait a few more hours" (I'd been at her side until a few hours earlier and every day for 4 months). Uncaring comment. Mum's watch was removed from her body and "disposed of" before going to undertaker.

Reply from Julie Slater, Home Manager at Cavell House Care Home

We take complaints and concerns very seriously at Cavell House. Please contact the home and I will arrange for you to meet with the regional manager to discuss your concerns. Once again we send our condolences on the loss of your mum

From our initial contact seeking respite for Dad, we were so pleased with the immediate and professional response we received. After visiting Muirton House, we felt assured and confident that this would be a good place. During Dad's respite, he was well looked after with staff going above and beyond

to reassure him he was treated as a welcome guest.

Dove Court
from Helen O (Sister of Resident) published on 3 December 2024

Overall Experience

My brother has been at Dove Court for several years now, but to my shame, I have only now come to write a review. From his first day at Dove Court, the Manager and all staff, have always taken time to get to know his every need; and notice the smallest of changes in his demeanour, They react to these

changes with immediacy, patience, kindness and understanding. They treat him with dignity and have a great rapport with him, using humour appropriately that he loves and responds well to. Communication is excellent and staff inform me immediately of any changes to his personal needs or anything that he requires. The home is clean and well furnished and I have always received a warm and hospitable welcome on my arrival, having travelled a long distance. He really enjoys the food and always tells me that he's very happy. He wouldn't want to be anywhere else. There is no greater recommendation than that! I have always felt very happy that he is well cared for - just like a family member.

Reply from The Home Manager, Home Manager at Dove Court

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are pleased your brother is settled and happy with the home and staff. He has become a real character in his time with us and part of our extended family. We strive to maintain high standards and all feedback is valuable to help us achieve this.

Overall Experience

My dad first came into the home in September and has had nothing but excellent care. He has recently been diagnosed with dementia and things are very confusing for him at times. He thinks he's in a hotel and that he's going to a restaurant and was getting very upset if he couldn't have a hot meal. The

home manager and staff put some changes in and added an open & close sign just to help him understand when meal times are which really helped him. He has settled in very well and it's very reassuring to know that he is safe and well looked after. Thank you for everything you do on a day to day basis.

Overall Experience

My grandad moved into Cameron House in September this year. I have nothing bad to say about it. The manager is very supportive and will always be happy to help with any concerns we have. The manager and staff welcomed him in brilliantly and made him feel at home straight away. He has been so much happier

since moving here and has told us how much he loves it here. He is always saying how much help he gets with everything and how there's always someone about whenever he needs some help. He values the care that he receives and thinks very highly of the home. Since he moved into the care home, he has eaten much better and looks much healthier without the stress and worry of living on his own. I feel much better knowing my grandad is safe and happy living in Cameron House.
