Overall Experience

My mum spent her last two weeks of life in Bowerfield.
My stepfather and I viewed the home having been referred by the hospital. Both mum and he were interested to view; as they had good memories of visiting a friend here a few years ago.
From the moment we arrived, on an unannounced visit, we were

treated warmly and enthusiastically. We were also not disappointed with the care that my mother received in her cosy bedroom facility, which was so much more homely than the hospital environment. The staff; to a man and a lady, we're all so nice and friendly, and I have nothing but respect for the jobs that they do.
The food certainly looked nice, and I was treated to fish and chips on Friday there, which was certainly very tasty.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this place, and in fact, have joked since that I would like to be booked in when necessary!

Overall Experience

Management continue to provide outstanding support in our discussions with Continuing Health Care and Social Services to ensure we get the most appropriate and effective care for our mother. They are making a complex and difficult process understandable for our family and we are grateful for the wider

care being provided by all the staff at all levels at Bowerfield Court.

My daughter was cared for very well by all the care team during her stay. Dignity in care was respected.

My daughter also tells me the food was delicious. Rooms were clean and tidy.

Overall Experience

From the moment I arrived at Bowerfield Court, the staff have been very friendly, helpful and caring. Nothing is too much trouble and they often pop into my room to see if I am alright or need anything.
One night I had a worrisome incident, so the nurse rang my GP and arranged for me to see him in

the home the next day. This was excellent care and reassuring for me. There is a pleasant, relaxed air about the home, which feels more like a small residential home or hotel, but with the addition and added benefit of nursing care on site.

Overall Experience

When my wife first came to the home she was greeted by a very caring staff. All the carers have treated my wife as part of the family which puts my mind at rest. When I leave her in their care day and night. Also, all nursing staff are caring and also treat her as part of the family, and all the staff

talk to her when they are carrying out their duties.

Overall Experience

After a slightly rocky start, (my mother was not at all sure she wanted to be in a home), Mum has now settled down and made friends among both the other residents and the staff. Her health is also much better, as she is checked by a nurse every day and the doctors visit weekly. She says the staff are

'lovely' and they are always cheerful and helpful. They encourage her to do as much as possible herself and wait patiently as long as necessary while she does so. Her room is comfortable and they encourage us to personalize it with her own curtains and pictures and bits of furniture.

Overall Experience

My mum was taken into Bowerfield for end of life care after being in hospital where she was really poorly and uncomfortable.
From the first minute she arrived to the time of us going and clearing her things, it was absolutely amazing.
The place is beautiful, clean, modern and my mum's room had everything

in it. It was decorated to the highest standard.
The staff, each and every one of them, were unbelievable, so much care and kindness to Mum and to me. They made a terribly upsetting time much easier. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Teething problems initially which were resolved with good communication and staff. Staff are supportive of my needs and my choices/decisions. Home is generally clean, however, I do have to request my room is cleaned as not cleaned otherwise.
Activities in the home have improved since I have moved here.

Food is good and tea trolley is regular. Established a good rapport with the majority of staff and the number of agency staff has reduced - this is important for me as it affected my care.
I would come back for respite when I move home.

Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident at Bowerfield for the past eight years. So you may as well say a huge part of hers, mine and our 3 children's lives. All I have got for, all grades of staff at Bowerfield is pure respect at the way my wife has been looked after by these dedicated people.
I have found out

over this last eight years what devotion and commitment the team at Bowerfield have. I feel my wife's needs, be it medical, social or physical, they have been met and dealt with by this dedicated team - our extended family.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the home for over six years. She is 32 years of age and has locked-in-syndrome. The staff and nurses under the leadership of the deputy manager and head nurse have been brilliant. Our main concern is on the weekends when staff are thin on the ground and have to rely on inexperienced

bank staff.

Overall Experience

When my Father-in-law was admitted to Bowerfield Court, he was recovering from the aftermath of pneumonia. He was very frail and had lost a serious amount of weight so a period of convalescence was essential. I was immediately very impressed with the level of care the staff at Bowerfield Court afforded

my Father-in-law. He gained weight very quickly and has continued to thrive. He is very confused as he is in the advanced stages of dementia, however, he seems very happy and settled as he is treated with the utmost respect and care. I have found all the staff to be compassionate, caring and professional.

Overall Experience

My wife, was accepted for respite care to Bowerfield Court, High Lane, Stockport, Cheshire on 10/3/16 and returned home on the 14/3/16, following an assessment at the home a few days previously. At this visit the manager took details of her medical condition, and medication.
On return home I and her

carers found my wife to be dehydrated and it would appear that she has not been encouraged/helped to drink, despite advice on this matter having been given.
On Sunday the 13th of March I visited her at 4.45pm, and 3 of her medication tablets - which showed to be taken in AM, were on her bedside table. I consider this unsatisfactory. Nursing care sparse.
