I find the staff approachable and helpful and my mother states they are all kind. I always feel welcome when I visit and go at various times of day, the home is always clean and fresh. The activities provided are inclusive and appropriate for elderly residents.

Overall Experience

My Mother has not been a resident for a week and is in such a better place. She is happy and in her own words feels safe! And the ladies are lovely and gentle.
We feel extremely relieved that our Mother is receiving the best care and support while letting her be independent as much as possible.

My brother was admitted to Wilton House in April 2023 for palliative care. The whole staff team were excellent in their care and support of not only my brother but the whole family. He passed away on 4th July 2023, the staff maintained his dignity to the end.

Since Dad's admission to Wilton House, I have been delighted by how well he has been treated by all the staff, so professional, caring, kind, happy and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for them. The atmosphere in the home is fantastic. The gardens and rooms are maintained to an exceptional standard.

The staff work together which is great and creates a positive feel. Residents are treated as individuals. Huge thanks to all.

Overall Experience

Six years ago when we were looking for a suitable care home for our mother, Wilton House felt the right one and has proved to be so. She has been well cared for and feels safe and secure. The staff have coped so well, especially in recent months as they always do, and we are really grateful for everything

they do.

Overall Experience

My husband, who is relatively young compared to a lot of residents in Wilton House, had to go into respite care for 3/4 weeks as we were having building work done at home to meet his needs after he became a wheelchair user on a more or less permanent basis.
Overall the staff, management, food and cleanliness

were excellent and he was very well looked after.
The only quibble we had was the rooms are very dark but it is an old building.

Overall Experience

The manager of this home is always ready to talk to us regarding our uncle. This attitude clearly influences the rest of the staff who all seem friendly, kind and helpful. Our relative is not the easiest or affable of people to deal with and yet patience and tolerance is always shown towards him.
The

only criticisms we would have is the overriding odour typical of many care homes.

The staff and management have unending patience with the residents and they take time to listen to the residents and try to help in any way. They work extremely hard (from the cleaners to management) but never show signs of frustration or annoyance. The food is excellent and special dietary requirements

are catered for, including individual resident's wishes.

Review from John L (Husband of Resident) published on 13 March 2017
Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My wife was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2015 and following a spell in the hospital with a broken hip, she was unable to return home. I had to find a suitable care home in the Darlington area, so I decided on Wilton House based on the discussions with the management and the friendly atmosphere

I felt existed in the home. One year on, I can say that my impressions have been demonstrated to be a reality. The stages of dementia can be challenging and the approach by staff to find a medication which would calm my wife's anxiety and enable her to engage with family and friends was handled very professionally.
