Overall Experience

During the two years that my mother was a resident, she was shown nothing but love and kindness. All the staff were very caring and they looked after her really well. Whenever me and my daughter visited her we were given a warm welcome by all the staff, as were all her other relatives who visited her.

Overall Experience

The Foresters looked after my father for 2.5 years after he suffered a major stroke.
The staff were excellent with caring for his needs and always tried to encourage him in getting better.
All of his needs were met and they would go the extra mile to make him comfortable and calm him when he got agitated.
I

was always kept informed of his condition and any changes and when he had any mishap.
He could be a challenging resident at times but the staff were always kind and understanding.
The staff have done a fantastic job in keeping all residents safe during this covid crisis and at no point did I feel my Father was at any risk.
In the end, all staff were understanding, sympathetic and moved heaven and earth to make this time easier to deal with and ensure as a family we knew his last days were comfortable and he was not alone.

Thank you for your lovely comments. Although our home is a little quieter these days we all miss chatting with Dad and hope you are all keeping well.

Overall Experience

From the moment I saw Foresters nursing home I just knew it would be the perfect place for dad. It's extremely hard making the decision but my instincts proved right.
Dad was very poorly and needed care 24/7. They showed him the love and attention he so deserved and I felt peace of mind knowing he

was in caring hands.
They work so very hard, with long hours and minimal pay. They deserve so much praise.
I can only say thank you with all my heart. Anyone who has the tough decision to make of finding a caring home for a loved one will find the Foresters the right choice.

Reply from Angela Butler, Care Home Manager at Foresters Nursing Home

Thank you for your amazing comments, the whole staff team are thrilled to hear that they did a good job, praise costs nothing but means such a lot to them.

Overall Experience

They care for our mother. We have been extremely happy with all the care she needs. She has been in the home now for almost a year, and we have never had any problems or issues with anything.
The staff are friendly and helpful, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Mum is happy and content, and we

have peace of mind that she is being well looked after.
The activities are well organised and varied.
The food is very nutritious and is served with a smile. If Mum doesn’t want a large meal; she is always offered an alternative.
As visitors, we are always welcome, and they have nothing to hide.
The whole building is old but sparkling clean, light and airy. No smell at all; as in the case of some.
To sum up, we would highly recommend anyone using their facilities if they need care for a loved one.

Overall Experience

My mother was admitted to Foresters from hospital. We expected her to be there for four weeks. In the end, it turned into 10 weeks while Social Services were sorting out what sort of care Mom needed. While we were waiting for provision to be sorted out, Mom was treated with loving care and attention

to detail with regard to the medication and the personal care she needed. Mom was towards the end of her dementia journey and she deteriorated quickly over her time in Foresters. The care staff were aware of her needs and her mood changes and tried very hard to make Mom as comfortable as possible in spite of mood changes and aggression. The staff consulted with the family at all stages of Mom's deterioration and we were able to express our wishes and know that they would be acted upon. Mom had excellent care and, as a family, we were enabled to be with Mom quietly as she passed away. Staff enabled Mom to die well and we would recommend the high standard of the care they offer.

Overall Experience

On return from holiday, I was distressed to find that my Mum had deteriorated to such an extent that she was now doubly incontinent, very confused and in physical pain. Within 5 hours of calling Foresters Mum was in, safe and being cared for. It wasn't easy but two weeks later she felt fit and well.

She will never be who she was but at least she is now stabilised.

Overall Experience

My father was at Foresters after leaving hospital for approximately 7 weeks.

The care he received was very good. Some of the carers were excellent with my father.

Thank you for caring for my father. He was treated with dignity, patience and understanding.

Overall Experience

I had never heard of the care home before, so visited it unannounced just before my husband went in. We were made very welcome and shown round including seeing the room my husband would have. All staff were friendly and lovely.
My husband was there for 2 weeks while I was away on holiday. On my return,

I could see he had been very well looked after and had been encouraged to keep mobile - so necessary for him. He was clean, clothes were too. Thank you to all staff for looking after him so well. While away, I sent photos of grandchildren to the manager and she kindly showed them to my husband. So kind.
