Overall Experience

The care home is excellent for all reasons especially care given to clients by staff. Every care is taken to ensure residents have a comfortable life and provide interesting activities while residents are invited to attend if they wish. Have found telephone reception and general staff extremely kind

and helpful. They are very understanding of situations and go out of their way to give advice if needed.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Prince George House enough. My husband going into residential care was the hardest decision of my life but found the reception and admin staff are always cheerful and helpful. The rooms are lovely and very clean. The nursing is excellent, and the carers are absolutely brilliant. There

are always activities, entertainers and sing-a-longs to keep residents stay cheerful and active. Thank you, everyone, for making a heartbreaking decision more bearable.

Overall Experience

Could be better communication with the family if the resident is getting short of items. Could do repairs quicker (e.g. emergency cord in the toilet/bathroom).

I find this home extremely well run. The staff work very hard and are always pleasant and cheerful. If you need help the staff will help you. The friend I visit is very happy at this home. She is well cared for at all time.
I especially like the way the staff will listen to my concerns or questions

I have.

We are so pleased that dad is in such a wonderful home. The facilities are excellent. The carers really listen and nothing is too much trouble. We can see they genuinely care. The care extends to the whole family too. The management and admin staff are all hands-on and interested too. A real home from

home.

Overall Experience

My mother was only at Prince George House for 4 days as she passed away.
The care and compassion shown to both her and her family was second to none. The care she was shown at her passing was wonderful and a great comfort to me as I was present. I will remember the compassion shown to not just her

but myself as she passed for ever more.

Overall Experience

My 95-year-old mother was resident in Prince George House for the final 3 weeks of her life, having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May. She had reached a stage when she could no longer be looked after in her own home. It was a difficult decision to make but we were extremely happy with the

care and support she received in Prince George House from all the staff.
Unfortunately, she wasn't well enough to participate in the activities on offer or to make full use of the excellent facilities.

Overall Experience

My husband had a week's respite care at Prince George House. From the moment of my enquiry, through to the end of the respite period, Prince George House care and attention to detail were excellent. I felt extremely confident to leave my husband in the care of the amazing staff. Nothing was too much

trouble. Several of my family and friends visited during that week and told me how impressed they were with the facilities and care. I shall certainly recommend Prince George House. Thank you.

Having recently arrived fro Australia to visit my mother, now resident at Prince George House, I have to say how impressed I am at the quality of care she is receiving.
The staff are caring, humourous, kind and dedicated to their jobs and profession and I couldn't be happier to see my mother in such

good hands.

Overall Experience

My Dad has been in Prince George House for 2 weeks now, having come straight from an exhausting spell in hospital. It's been a very emotional time for my Mum as well as the rest of the family. Mum is, of course, devastated my Dad cannot come home.
From the very first contact with the Prince George

House, the staff have been the most understanding people I have come across in a long while. They were there for me during the emotional time of Dad's transfer on that first day and the situation was managed with sensitivity and respect; not only to my Dad but they were aware of the tremendous turmoil my Mum and I were feeling.
Two weeks later my Dad is and looks well cared for. The staff have made an effort to understand his needs, likes and dislikes. He is treated with respect and dignity.
My Mum visits every day and is welcomed and included in Dad's daily activities and care as much as she wants. Not only my Dad looks well but my Mum too looks well. She is relaxed and happy that my Dad is being well cared for although, obviously, still wants him home.

My parents have now been in your care home for 19 months and I cannot fault the care they receive. Nothing is too much trouble for your managers and staff and they are very approachable if I have a problem or question. 'Care' is the appropriate word!
