Overall Experience

My parents, recently deceased, spent the last few weeks of their lives at Stowlangtoft Hall. The care provided by the staff at Stowlangtoft Hall was unbelievably, amazing, The staff were kind, caring and treated my parents with the utmost respect at all times while still managing to make them laugh,
My

sisters and I visited regularly and the staff were equally kind and caring to us. The home itself is beautiful with several large and beautifully decorated rooms and the grounds are stunning.

Overall Experience

As a frequent visitor to Stowlangtoft Hall I have much praise for this wonderful nursing home. The staff are very friendly and attentive, offering excellent round-the-clock care. The activities co--ordinators always ensure a full-time taste of various events, activities and outings so there is something

for everyone to get involved with. I have found the manager extremely helpful and always willing to offer a quick response to any query or problem arising. The hall itself is very welcoming and of a high standard. I would thoroughly recommend Stowlangtoft Hall.

Overall Experience

My husband was here for the last month of his life after suffering a stroke. He had wonderful care from all the staff who looked after him and myself very well. The house is really beautiful, exterior and interior, set back in its own grounds and the food was very good. Nothing was too much trouble

for the staff. I'd be happy to stay here myself!

Overall Experience

I requested admission for my father for convalescence and rehabilitation care. My father was extremely well cared for in a holistic manner.
He was empowered and enabled to increase his independence to the point where he was able to care for himself and therefore to be in a position to be able to return

home. The staff listened to and respected my father's home routine which definitely facilitated his rehabilitation and discharge. The personalised care was very evident. The food was excellent! Although my father did not want to particularly engage with the activities on offer, I was very aware that the activities coordinators were available 7 days a week for the residents delivering a diverse range of activities.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Stowlangtoft Hall for your personal and caring approach to my uncle's care. Although he was only with you for a short time I felt secure in the knowledge that he was being looked after very well. There were many reasons for choosing Stowlangtoft

but the most important was the personal attention I received which is lacking in the big corporate organisations that run many care homes.
Well done and thank you all.

A very caring nursing home that was home to my mother for 14 years, they became her family. Great improvements have been made over the years in upgrading this stately country mansion.
Lovely setting, lovely people who work there.
We didn't worry about our mother we knew she was in safe hands.

Overall Experience

We could not have asked for anything more or anything to be different for the care that my Grandmother received whilst at Stowlangtoft Nursing Home. The staff were very attentive to both her needs and ours. Nothing but respect for them in what can be a very difficult and emotional job to be doing

in often very unsociable hours. The staff were always very willing to accommodate any special requirements of both my Grandmother and family members visiting.

Review from Pamela and Brian H (Cousin of Resident) published on 13 February 2017

Overall Experience

Our Cousin was in need of a Residential/Nursing Home she lived in Eastbourne in her own home, but at the age of 92 began to become very ill. We made a decision in 2014 to encourage her to move nearer to where we lived.

We came upon Stowlangtoft Hall in this journey and were immediately impressed

with the building and set up of a Nursing Home that looked at the person as a whole and allowed them to be in charge of their own minds, within the bounds of what they were capable of.

The whole ethos of the Home was exactly what she needed, she had a beautiful room that looked out over acres of beautiful rolling countryside, she loved the skies of Suffolk and the beautiful sunsets, there were plenty of activities she could have gone to but she chose to stay in her room. It was hugely brave of a 92yearold who had lived her life for most of it in a different County to take this step but she took it bravely.

The last 2 years plus were made easier for our Cousin at Stowlangtoft Hall.

Overall Experience

The factors that led me to choose Stowlangtoft Hall for my mother were...
a) The family ownership and hands-on presence of family members on a day to day basis.
b) The high number of long-serving nurses and carers.
c) The very spacious, quiet accommodation and peaceful surroundings.
d) The warm,

friendly atmosphere.
All these factors remained constant in the very nearly 4 years that my mother lived at Stowlangtoft Hall. The overall standard of care that my mother received was high - I sensed that all those involved, really did care about her and did their best to make her happy and comfortable. There was never a day that I worried about my mother's safety and I took great comfort from this.

Overall Experience

I needed to find a place for my 96 year old mother to have short-term respite care after she was discharged from hospital, and we had no advance notice of this! We contacted Stowlangcroft due to its location, and they arranged for a place on the same day, with their representative visiting to do an

assessment within a few hours of our enquiry. This was marvellous service, and a great relief that they were able to react so quickly. My mother’s stay provided a super respite environment, and meant she could return home with confidence after her 3 week stay.

Overall Experience

My mother spent her last months in Stowlangtoft Hall and was looked after caringly, skillfully, respectfully and with great dignity. The staff were wonderfully attentive, to both my mother and ourselves when we came to visit. The building and grounds are extremely impressive and imposing, in a beautiful,

quiet, peaceful and relaxing country setting. Visitors are always made welcome, there is even a playpark for visiting children and nice walks for people and dogs.

Inside the impressive building, all the necessary nursing equipment and facilities are on hand. The lift to the upper floor is tiny, to fit into the architecture of the building, but it is adequate for a wheelchair and a carer. There is a well-stocked library, comfortable communal lounge, and a study, amongst all other usual facilities.

However, it is the staff (directors, manager, nurses, carers and support personnel) that make the home the lovely, warm and welcoming place that it is. I thoroughly recommend it.

We have found Stowlangtoft Hall to be excellent in every aspect, all the staff have been extremely attentive and caring including the head chef and his staff, who not only prepare excellent food but go beyond that with there care and friendship towards mum. The home itself is a wonderful place, well

decorated and comfortably furnished, entertainment is good and varied. Management are open and take on board anything that is discussed.

The chef takes such special care with my meals. They are full of flavour and beautifully presented. Every day he is here he comes to check that everything is alright. I enjoy the musical activities here. I feel really safe here and couldn't be in a better place. My daughter and her husband looked hard

and long and really couldn't have found a better place for me.

Overall Experience

The majority of the staff here are friendly and caring as are the management. The facilities are excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Food is plentiful and well prepared.
The premises are clean and well equipped.

My only criticism is that there appears to be no training for the care staff

in the transfer of disabled patients or understanding - lymphedema stockings and suprapubic catheter fitting are two examples. I had to do this job on several occasions until the staff understood.

I spent December there for respite care. The staff and nurses were excellent and cheerful. They addressed all in their care by their Christian names and were willing to help. I would certainly recommend the nursing home.
