As an ex-resident of the home, I can offer nothing but praise for this home, the staff and the care they provided you could not wish for more, and I wish them every success in their expectations both staff and residents. I found the premises very clean, the food was excellent and they have a cook in

a million she is very understanding and helpful.
Love and best wishes to all.

My mother has lived at Applegarth Care Home for over three years now, her health is much improved and she is very happy. All the staff are absolutely marvellous, kind, caring, compassionate and always very welcoming when we visit.
I have peace of mind that she's no longer on her own or worrying she's

wandering outside her home, she is being well cared for and my heartfelt thanks goes to all those lovely carers, they do a wonderful job.

Reply from Michael Fuller, Home Manager at Applegarth Care Home

The staff at Applegarth are very good with residents. They do activities with them and temperature checks are done throughout the day. Mum always looks clean and tidy. Their meals look very nice with a nice choice on the menu board and always offering drinks and their time and the care staff are very

friendly with us when we visit.

My friend recently moved to Applegarth following rapid mental deterioration. Although not a 'super smart' place, the home appears very homely and the staff are very friendly and caring. My friend has settled in very quickly and says 'she couldn't be in a better place and the staff 'can't do enough'

for her'. Whenever I've phoned the manager and staff are very helpful. In person, they are welcoming and caring. I cannot answer all the ratings as have not seen or experienced them.

Overall Experience

Over the last 12 months Mum's health, both mental and physical, has posed challenges and I am grateful to the staff for their professional abilities to deal with all that life has had to offer. Their kindness and patience have been exemplary. During the lockdown period, the small physical size of Applegarth

has meant that space is at a premium, but again, the staff have worked hard to keep activities and entertainment going. The better weather coming will be a bonus to everyone. The plus side to the size of the home being that the atmosphere is more homely than a Care Home. Keep up your exceptional work, Applegarth.

Reply from Jan Edmonds, Executive at Applegarth Care Home

Hi Phillip, thank you very much for your lovely review. We are also looking forward to the warmer weather where we can all enjoy meeting up in the fresh air.

Overall Experience

My mother is in Applegarth Care Home as she did not wish to live alone after the death of her husband especially as she has dementia. The staff at the care home are very friendly and there are plenty for the number of residents. The staff know the resident's family and encourage them to stay in contact.

The staff arrange plenty of activities for the residents to take part in if they wish to keep them active in mind and body, as well as keeping them supplied with drinks and cakes between meals. The staff have asked about family members whose photos are in her room and they encourage her to talk about them. My mother thinks she is in a guest house or hotel as it is very homely. My mother celebrated a big birthday in January 2021 and although the family could not be there because of lockdown the care home made it a special day and took photos to send to the family on the day. My mother is very happy there and we the family know that she is safe and extremely well cared for.

Overall Experience

I have always had peace of mind that my Mother's needs are met, both physical and emotional, she is always happy when I visit her. I saw a massive weight drop from her shoulders since she moved in Dec 2016. She had no more worries and stresses and started enjoying life again. I can honestly say that

she has a better quality of life since living at Applegarth, rather than living alone for some years. The staff are amazing and I have nothing but praise for them, particularly this last year. As an NHS worker, I fully appreciate the hard efforts they have made to keep the residents and themselves safe and well in extremely difficult circumstances. I am always singing Applegarth's praises both personally and professionally and will continue to do so.

Overall Experience

This care home seems very friendly and welcoming. They have planned activities and they fundraised to give the clients some special days out. They have a nice garden when the weather is good. The food menu looks and smells very good. The only one thing I would say is it would be nice to have another

room as when visiting it can be very busy.

Reply from Jan Edmonds, Executive at Applegarth Care Home
