Overall Experience

My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016. He was moved to Wilton House after four months in hospital. He is now bedridden and can't speak. From day one, Wilton House gave us a good impression. The manager is very open and friendly. The staff are very kind and helpful. The place is always

clean and tidy. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful. Should you have a request, the nurses and carers are always at hand. Our recent meeting was handled fairly and professionally. My husband was very frightened and disorientated at the hospital, but since he is at Wilton House he has actually started to smile again and he even knows who I am. He is so much happier now and we, as a family are so grateful to know that he is so well looked after.

Overall Experience

My father recently had his care plan review, and he suffers from dementia. I can not fault the staff at the home. They have looked after my father for two years, and their support has been amazing. Not just for him but for myself too, when dealing with his deterioration. All medical information and

details of his ongoing care are very clear. Regular reviews are conducted and documented. They really have a fabulous, caring team.

The staff have been fantastic with my dad as, unfortunately, his dementia causes him to be quite angry and aggressive at times and I know they have worked so hard to settle him, which finally happened and he is calmer and settled now.

Overall Experience

When my mum was diagnosed with dementia in late 2020, like many families I did not know how things would progress. When it became clear that the home-care option was no longer viable earlier this year, my mum was finally transferred to Wilton House, after an extended hospital stay. Whilst moving my

mum into long-term care and coming to terms with the decision is one of the hardest things I have ever done, all of the staff at Wilton House have gone out of their way to make the process as easy as possible and welcome my mum into her new home. The manager and all of her staff are always so friendly and my visits often descend into fits of laughter, which is a very rare thing. The level of personal commitment and dedication they show is exceptional and clearly evident throughout and I thank them for all of the kindness they show my mum. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience

Words are not enough to express how grateful I am for this place and for this team. My mum's life changed after her heart surgery, coma and hospitalisation for long period of time. I was struggling myself with finding solutions and give the best for my mum and yet, I cannot believe my mum was sent to

this amazing place. Each person in the team brings value to the care. I was reticent leaving my mum to go in a place like this as I've always believed that my mum deserves the best. But I couldn't ask for more, Wilton House and its team is the best place for my mum to be. My mum is well, she recovered in only a few months, she is brilliant and she is happy and this is the most important for all of us. I recommend Wilton House, the manager, all the caring team and the entire staff! Thank you so much for all you are doing for everyone!

Overall Experience

So many thanks to the manager and her great staff. They have given care to my husband for several months now, not without great difficulties which they have overcome with compassion as well as medical care. Their liaison with the family is good. Whenever the family have visited or spoken via WhatsApp

video link, my husband has looked well cared for which is obviously very important to us. They also make us feel very welcome when the family have visited and have always done their utmost to help when we have phoned.
Again, many thanks from us all to all of you!

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the care provided for my mother who has dementia, is off her feet and can be uncooperative. Mother needed nursing care after hospitalisation when it became apparent she was beyond the capabilities of the residential home she was in previously. Mum is very happy in Wilton House,

she feels safe and loved. It is reassuring to know my mother is in a safe place and is getting the right level of care. I cannot praise the staff enough, they are saints!

Thank you for supporting our mother at this very difficult time. Since arriving her whole demeanour has changed, from being very negative and depressed to now being more like herself, a stable and engaging person. This is all down to the high level of care and support she is receiving from all the staff.

We would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home.

Overall Experience

My mum was moved to Wilton House in October 2020, at which time, she was confused, upset and unwell. Within three weeks of the wonderful care that she receives at Wilton House, I started to glimpse 'my' mum again.
The family atmosphere has given Mum such pleasure. She knows all of her carers and nurses

and they have made enormous efforts to make her feel welcomed and loved. The kindness and understanding that Mum has received has made such a difference to her.
As a family, we have lost my dad (they were married nearly 60 years) and my younger sister in the past few years. Mum has all her photographs and belongings around her and feels completely at home. There is only Mum and I now, and the care that Mum receives, gives me the opportunity to be her daughter again, instead of her carer, which is an enormous relief.
As a relative, I am always treated with great kindness and respect and I really cannot praise the management and staff highly enough. Thank you so very much!

My mother in law was a resident at Wilton House from last March, the Manager and staff have all been very caring and helpful throughout this time. The care she received was at a very high standard. The grounds are immaculate and the home is very clean and bright. Wilton House clearly have the residents

needs at the heart of their service. We would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home.

Overall Experience

My dear Mum came to Wilton House Care Home six weeks ago after a hospital discharge for a broken hip. She arrived there in a very restless and fragile state and needed 24/7, 1-1 care initially. The staff have treated her with great respect and love throughout her stay. The Registered General Nurse in

charge was born to be a carer and has overseen a great improvement in Mum's mental and physical health as she continues to grow stronger. It's so very hard to see my Mum the way she is, and to be honest Wilton House has been a total godsend for me. I find visiting Mum a delight and the staff are always in hand to provide updates with a warm smile to make me feel at home. I would recommend Wilton House to anyone looking for a loving caring environment for their relative. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience

My mother became a resident of Wilton House back in January 2020 with dementia and Parkinson’s. My brother and I were concerned about Mum being in a home for the first time, but we didn’t need to be, as the staff are amazing.
Mum had settled in so well; then Covid hit us all, the manager and all the

staff were amazing. Closed the home down quickly to protect the residents while keeping all the families up to date with any changes. Organised video calls so we could keep in touch with our loved ones. I can’t thank them enough knowing Mum was being cared for and looked after so well. Through this whole experience, I’ve come to know these amazing people who went above and beyond for all of us. It’s so lovely to be able to go and see Mum again and to be able to say thank you in person to an amazing team. If you are in the position of needing to find a nursing home for your loved one, visit Wilton House, you won’t regret it. Thank you to the manager and all the caring, professional amazing team at Wilton House.

Overall Experience

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my mother receives at Wilton House. She has been a resident for 18 months and is very happy and content there. Staffing is excellent: the residence is immaculate and the skills of all workers are first-rate. Staff take a lot of time to ensure my mum

receives nutrition and enjoyment whilst eating; the food is fresh and very well-prepared. My mum is bedbound now, but carers go out of their way to include her in a variety of stimulating activities. All members of staff are friendly and dedicated to giving residents the very best care possible. This is a home where staff sincerely care for the residents, and they all know each individual resident very well; my mum feels loved and safe there. The management is superb: very knowledgeable and always available to answer questions. The professional nursing care is also of a remarkable level. I could not recommend Wilton House more highly.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident of Wilton House for three years, the loving care she receives from the staff is exceptional, she is so happy whenever I visit. She isn't an easy person to give care to but with their expertise and coaxing, she is always immaculate. She doesn't eat well but again, with

coaxing her to drink her milkshakes, she manages to maintain a good weight. I could not give my mother the care she is receiving from Wilton House and am so happy she is in a safe, clean happy environment. The Manager is professional at all times, she is always on hand if you need to speak to her and you can see her love for the job and her residents, I would like to personally thank the manager and my mother's Key Worker for keeping her safe, all the staff have gone above and beyond during these challenging times. Wilton House is spotlessly clean in all areas, a lovely bright nursing home with a great feel to it when you walk through the door.
