Overall Experience

From the moment we arrived in January 2024, we knew Dad to be in safe, caring, and supportive hands. We were all welcomed so warmly by all the staff and at once were reassured that Dad's needs would be met. This continued day and night, throughout the time Dad lived at Lister House. All staff were totally

committed to the needs of their residents and in tune with them. Nothing was too much trouble - we will always remember his fantastic 101st birthday party in May. The staff were friendly, always approachable and knowledgeable and the whole environment is geared around the residents, with lovely rooms, light and airy communal areas, and an inviting outside space. The food is very good and there is a great programme of activities to enjoy.
Dad died in September 2024 and we could not have wished for a better, kinder, more attentive environment for Dad to live in for his last months.
Thank you.

Reply from Terri Warren, Business and performance manager at Lister House

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have Dad in the home and indeed to have you both visiting. Lister House prides itself on being one big family and your kind comments help to highlight this. By outlining the good work we do to ensure our Service Users and their families are looked after means a lot to the staff I will indeed pass your comments on. Dad's 101 Birthday is something we will all cherish for a long time. Please do feel free to pop in and see us for a chat. Remember when the time is right for you both we are always looking for good volunteers.

My Father originally went to Lister House for Residential Care but more lately was in the Nursing Care Unit. The care he received throughout was exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble for any member of staff who all were welcoming and caring.

The whole family loves Lister House - our mother/granny/mother-in-law is very happy here, and we are happy, too, because the care of her is excellent in all respects. We leave her knowing she is cared for 24/7 and is safe - all her needs are understood and catered for by a loving, caring team of staff.

The communication between the team here and ourselves is open and timely, and there is always someone to listen to any concerns we have and put appropriate actions in place if needed. Mother receives the very best care here - thank you, Lister House.

Reply from Terri Warren, Business and performance manager at Lister House

Thank you for your kind words. I can share the feeling of love you have for Lister House. I have been here for ten years now, and it is not a day too long; I love coming to work and sharing my day with the service users their families and colleagues. I am so glad we are making a difference to your Mother/Granny/Mother-in-law. The teams will be happy when I share this with them.

I have been a resident since 16th November 2021. I have found everything of a very high order. Of course little things go wrong from time to time but they are rectified very quickly. I find all the staff kind, pleasant to talk to, and always ready to give service. I doubt if there is a better retirement

home anywhere else in the country. Thank you for making my time pleasant and contented. I hope the rest of my life will be as enjoyable as the past 12 months.

Reply from Terri Warren, Business and performance manager at Lister House

Hi Ken, Thank you for your wonderful comments. I believe you are on the residents committee now this is great news as it helps to give the residents a voice and informs us of the good work or improvements we need to do to ensure you all have the care needs you rightly deserve. Here at Lister House.

Overall Experience

Beautiful home and initial care was very good, until Dad deteriorated and his personality changed due to dementia. There are too many ageing staff who did not know his needs. One agency regular carer was wonderful and gave excellent care. Two full-time staff were not very understanding or caring, they

should be in a different career. His end of life care left a lot to be desired. A friend went to see him when regular carers was not there to find a carer playing on his phone at 3:30 pm while Dad had dry sick on his bed. He had not been given anything to eat since 9:30 am. We were extremely disappointed to not even receive a condolence card or message and no representation at his funeral. Cannot recommend, unless things improve.

From visiting my father here he always seems very happy and content. He is still able to be reasonably independent, the staff are always on hand if required. If there are any issues of any kind they are always dealt with immediately. I have no concerns and know my dad is in good hands and being cared

for throughout the day and night.

Reply from Terri Warren, Business and performance manager at Lister House

We are so pleased to hear that your dad is happy and content here at Lister House.
We promote within the home the need for our residents to live as independently as they can, but being there for them if required.

Moving Dad into a care home was a very concerning thing for us. We need not have worried as the standards and environment at Lister House have meant he has not only settled in well but loves living here! Standards are high, but it is the lovely friendly atmosphere in Lister House that stands out. The

staff throughout the home in whatever sense of fun we are truly thankful for that.

Reply from Terri Warren, Business and performance manager at Lister House

Thank you for your kind words. Here at Lister House, we are aware of the difficult decision it is for families and residents to come and stay with us, and we strive to make this transaction as smooth as possible for all.

Both my parents have been, and one is still in Lister. I cannot praise Lister highly enough. I know when I go home after visiting, I have complete peace of mind that she is looked after in such a wonderful and sympathetic way. I can't praise all the staff enough. It's like a first-class hotel suite

with all the benefits of a hospital.

My father was a resident at Lister House Care Home prior to his death in 2015. He was very well cared for and he felt very much at home for the fourteen months he was here. Since he died, I have been a volunteer and visit weekly. As a former family and as a volunteer, I have always been made to feel

welcome and part of the 'team'.

I am so pleased about the care and support my relative is given. The staff go above and beyond to not only nurse and support him but become his family in my absence. During covid lockdowns, we were updated on visiting and protecting the residents. Phoned weekly by staff with updates. Newsletters emailed

show the activities for the month which hopefully families can soon join in. Now we can visit wearing masks mindful of flu etc, not just covid. I am involved in decisions regarding my relative and well-being and my views are listened to. I highly recommend Lister House.

This month my wife will have been in the nursing home for 3 years, after severe operations for a rare case of infection on the brain resulting in 2 operations to remove the infected part, It's been a difficult time to recover to the level she is at now thanks to the excellent nursing including the testing

and help to get the increase in her condition. We're not there yet but, we, my family, me and all the staff have worked hard to get her to this much-improved state.

Lister House is the most wonderful place. My dad was resident here in the ground floor nursing unit for about 2 years.
The care, dignity, compassion and love he received over that time was sensational, not just for him but towards myself as I live away and had to stay at Lister to be with him.
I

could go home knowing he was happy. He was always taken to the restaurant for meals, the entertainment, nothing was ever too much trouble.
Dad passed away on 24/12/18. My Lister House family were wonderful both to dad and myself. Nowhere can compare to Lister House.

Overall Experience

Lister House cares for my 96 year old uncle on residential status, and formerly cared for his wife (who had advanced dementia) on nursing status, till her recent death. In all the time spent there my Uncle has had only praise for the quality, comprehensiveness and professionalism of every aspect of

their provision. In all our visits, which are never announced, my wife and I have never found anything wanting in their provision of either level of care. Lister House is part of the British Legion charity and direct comparison with commercial care provision, of which we also have experience, is difficult. Given that, this establishment truly offers the gold standard of care and I cannot imagine anywhere else could be better.
