Overall Experience

Thanks to all at Walton House for the care programme they gave my Dad recently. These have been extremely difficult times for all; Walton House handled everything professionally and gave the best care possible to my Dad.

Reply from Janet Harris, Manager at Walton House Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind comments, it was a pleasure to look after your dad even though it was only for a short time, he was a lovely gentleman. May I again offer my condolences from all the staff at Walton House to yourself, your mum and other family members, take care, Janet.

Overall Experience

My mum has lived here for almost two years and I have always been happy with her care. Up until lockdown my dad lived in a different home but visited regularly. Over the summer it has been difficult visiting mum but my dad was completely cut off from her. He has now moved to Walton House to be with

her and is settling well. The staff are lovely and supportive and I am happy knowing my parents are together again. My dad tells me that the food is good too which is always a bonus.

Reply from Janet Harris, Manager at Walton House Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind comments, it is a pleasure to look after them both, lovely couple.

Overall Experience

I'm delighted with the care shown to Mum by Walton House throughout the coronavirus pandemic. This has been an incredibly difficult and upsetting time for us all, and it's been very clear to me that despite incredibly challenging circumstances within Walton House, the team there have done absolutely

everything they could to keep Mum and all of the resident's spirits and hopes high. Outstanding care!

After dealing with the staff at Walton House for over 2 years now I still cannot fault the care they give to my mother. She has been looked after so well by every member of staff who deserve the highest praise for their commitment to the residents.

Overall Experience

My mother had dementia and after a fall (breaking her hip) she was unable to stand. She lived in her bed. The staff at Walton House were kind to her. She was kept clean and comfortable. The staff were also kind and pleasant to me. Thanks to the nurse on night duty who phoned me and allowed me to be

with my mother as she passed away.
Thank you to all staff.

Reply from Janet Harris, Manager at Walton House Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words Angela, it was a pleasure to look after your mum, we are thinking about you at this sad time as you spent a lot of time with your mum, sending you best wishes from myself and all the staff at Walton House, take care, Janet.

Review from Linda C (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2018

Overall Experience

I, like most people looking for a nursing home, didn't arrive at the decision where mum should stay lightly. I found the care my mum received whilst she was in this home to be faultless. Any requests I had regarding the care of mum were undertaken and the carers/staff were eager to oblige in whatever

way they could to make mum as comfortable as possible. I was allowed/encouraged to take mums personnel items in for her which in her short stay there were much appreciated. You can visit as often as you wish and at any time which was a blessing. I felt that all the people at Walton House actually cared about my mum that she wasn't just a resident. I also found there to be plenty of staff always on duty.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to anyone - my only regret is that I didn't get mum in there earlier.

What a wonderful are home Walton House Nursing Home is shame there aren't more places like this. First class care from nurses, carers and kitchen staff who looked after our brother-in-law with kindness and excellent care until he passed away. Hope all the staff get praise for their work. Thank you

Overall Experience

My mother was cared for very well. She was there for 15 months and all her nursing and care needs were met.
Although I visited my mum on a regular basis and so did other family members, we were always contacted if need be.
All the staff were approachable and very friendly.

Overall Experience

My mother in law has been treated like the carers own mother. Staff have been gentle, kind, social and my mother in law enjoyed the films, singing songs around the piano and the many themed days and shows.
Our family have been made very welcome and always been offered tea, coffee etc.
We have been

shown so much kindness and support during her stay and final days when nothing was too much to ask for. We were extremely grateful and will never forget the tender care that she received which allowed us to have total confidence that all her needs were met.

Overall Experience

My wife and I are/were overwhelmed by the kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Walton House. My relative (sister) was terminally ill and died in Walton House but from the minute she moved in, it felt as though a huge burden and worry had been lifted from the family because we knew the

staff were professional and competent but more importantly kind to both the resident and their families. I recommend Walton House without reservation - nothing was too much trouble for them and they delivered a difficult service with compassion and importantly too, a smile.

Overall Experience

My father moved into Walton House in summer as a very frail, poorly man, he had made the decision himself as he struggled at home, he had resisted moving into care as long as possible as he worried with so much bad publicity around care homes. He settled into Walton House and often commented how well

he was being looked after, the staff were all very nice. He also enjoyed the food which was a varied menu. From the families point of view the home gave excellent care. All the staff were friendly to visitors and the residents and treated each one with dignity. We knew dad was receiving excellent care and was safe. We visited many care homes before settling for Walton House and knew as soon as we looked around it was the right place for dad. Thank you.

Reply from Janet Harris, Manager, RGN at Walton House Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind comments. Your father was a lovely gentleman and a pleasure to look after. On behalf of myself and all the staff at Walton House may we wish you and your family a peaceful Christmas and New Year, Kind Regards.
