Overall Experience

Since transferring my mum from another home I have been so much happier with her care. The carers here are so much more attentive and interactive with the residents. There are plenty of activities to keep residents interested, although, because of Mum's deafness and Alzheimer's, her participation is

very limited. She really enjoys her meals here too. The staff keep me updated if there are any issues I should be aware of.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident in Pilling House from April till September 2018. The care and attention she received while in the home was of a first class standard. I found the staff very attentive and always treated my mother with the utmost respect, she always spoke highly of the staff and enjoyed her stay

with them. Thank again to all the staff.

Overall Experience

The process of pre-admission assessment/interview was handled very efficiently and sensitively by all staff. Dad was made to feel very welcome and is settling in well. He says everyone is very friendly and the food is wonderful. It is a big change for him but I cannot see how it could have gone more

smoothly. Thanks to all concerned.

Overall Experience

The staff are wonderful and look after my mum with dignity and respect. The food is of an excellent quality, however, my gripe is with the grounds of the home. My mum likes to walk around and all the potholes on the drive are a health and safety hazard! No more is being spent on the upkeep - why not??

If someone falls and breaks a leg due to the potholes it will cost you a lot more if you are sued! There is also no secure outside area for residents and families to sit out safely on a nice day. Residents are prisoners because the door has to be kept locked due to 'wanderers'. Why can you not make a safe, secure outside area for residents to be able to walk in and out of at their own accord?

Overall Experience

Placing my Nana in full time care was the hardest decision our family ever made and we felt devastated. We worried she may not get the care she needed but I can honestly say that the home exceeded our expectations massively.
All of the staff speak to the residents with dignity and respect and they

are genuinely caring people. The home itself is warm and welcoming if a little dated but I can't stress how much this shouldn't matter - the quality of care is fantastic. To be able to trust a loved one's welfare with other people is extremely difficult but the home have made it so much easier. I know she is really well cared for.
The carers communicate with us regularly and have really gotten to know my Nana; what she likes, what she dislikes, how best to care for her.
She is always well presented, they liaise with GP/health professionals when needed and have been good at advising us. Whenever we go, the staff always speak with us, update us and offer us a drink.
I would recommend to anyone.

Overall Experience

My mother went into Pilling House in December 2016 after no longer being safe to live alone at home. The care she received at Pilling House was excellent. The staff are first class. The residents are all happy and well cared for, and this is very apparent when you visit. Mum's health improved when she

moved there. She gained weight and became more of her happy old self. The residents are well motivated by visitors to the home eg. keep fit and by the staff. Sadly mum passed away in May and we couldn't thank the home enough for their kindness, care, love and attention and can not recommend them highly enough. Thank you to you all.

Overall Experience

Entry to the care home is always answered by a member of staff, always welcome and cheerful.
A happy environment and staff include residents with their own outdoor experiences, it's fun and includes games, quizzes, information of day to day media and TV.
Visitors are offered a drink of choice and

if given a day's notice will arrange a meal with their friend.
It's a very happy place, the staff are excellent and listen to residents' problems, ideas and views.

Review from Andrew S (Son of Resident) published on 6 June 2018

Overall Experience

My beloved mother died in April 2018, having been a resident at Pilling House since June 2012. After a fall, and given that I was about to make a lengthy work trip abroad, my mother went into Pilling House on the recommendation of her social worker.
When I visited, it didn't have the ensuite bathroom

that I'd envisaged, but it was clean and the staff were evidently engaged with those that they were caring for.
I came to understand that the ensuite bathroom didn't matter. What mattered was the care and attention that the staff provided. I can only praise the team of carers who have looked after my mother for the past six years, who became her friends, and in whom I felt secure in placing my trust for her welfare.
The demise inherent in dementia is so awful, and the team at Pilling didn't just care for my mother but also for me, talking through every element of her care and the choices that had to be made. I cannot review the care provided by the team at Pilling positively enough.

Review from Janet H (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 July 2016

Overall Experience

Mum initially went into Longroyds for Respite and stayed as a permanent resident. Mum's health and well being greatly improved, she has other people to talk to, has a laugh and a joke, a far cry from when she was at home having Home Care four times a day, myself and family supporting mum on a daily

basis. Mum was becoming severely depressed, lonely and more confused and it was becoming increasingly difficult to support her at home and ensure her safety.

We looked at many different Care Homes, but as soon as we visited Longroyds, we knew it was the right place for mum. The staff were very welcoming, the Home felt comfortable, relaxed and very homely, nothing pretentious about it at all. I now feel I've got my mum back, she has settled well, I know she is safe and above all, very well cared for - many thanks to all at Longroyds .

Overall Experience

My mother is 93 and approaching the end of her life. She has been living at Pilling House now for 7 years during which time she has had excellent care from the staff who have proved to be both friendly and efficient in addition to respecting her dignity. The home has a pleasant atmosphere and a calm

feeling throughout. Residents appear very settled and content. Pilling House has three lounges for residents to use which gives them plenty of choice as well as space and the pleasant dining room overlooking the beautiful and carefully maintained grounds, is bright and cheerful. The residents' diet is varied and adjusted to their needs. A regular buffet tea is well received and birthday cakes always appear to mark the resident's special day. The appointment of an Activities Manager is an added bonus and an interesting programme of activities plus seasonal celebrations e.g. Christmas and Halloween are well respected together with annual summer fair. An excellent care home.

Overall Experience

My father entered into care on January 4th this year, up to now we as a family are very happy with the care he's received. On day one he was agitated, upset and underweight. Within a week or so he was settled and content. The staff are friendly, helpful and never too busy to discuss any concerns. The

home manager reassured me time over that dad would be well cared for, he is. It's not a 'bells and whistles' place but it's homely and secure.
