Have not had many problems - my only concern is some of my friend's clothes seem to go missing - he wears items that are not his - clothes are kept clean by laundry. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. Some days are not good for visiting. Soft menu food does not seem to vary - can be boring.
My friend is happy there - it is hard to get to as I don't drive and am disabled myself - can only visit every other week. Covid regulations have been well maintained.

Reply from Tanya Surtees, HR Administrator at Woodroffe Benton House

Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it. We are pleased that your friend is happy at Ifield Park. We are sorry to hear that you have concerns your friend is wearing clothing not belonging to him and his clothes are going missing. We have looked into this, as we were not aware of your concerns prior to this review. All our residents' clothing is clearly labelled, and we take considerable care to ensure they have their own items of clothing only. Your friend accepted the offer of some donated clothing and we believe that these are the clothes that you are referring to. Your friend has full capacity and can make decisions regarding this. I hope this alleviates your concerns. All our menus change with the seasons and are nutritious and well-balanced. We have options that our residents can choose from daily and encourage them to choose a variety. If you have any further concerns, please speak with a member of staff during your visit and they will look into them immediately.

The care provided is excellent, the most wonderful, amazing and caring staff from management to care staff. We visited for my grandmother's 100th birthday, all my grandmother's family have been made so welcome, they have made a special day wonderful. I will never forget the kindness shown today, wonderful

Ifield Park Care Home (Woodroffe Benton House) have supported, reassured and cared for my mother over the last two years. The frightening transition of losing her memory has been kindly supported. The Covid-19 experience facilitated visiting when possible and recognised the benefit of familial social
interaction to individuals with memory impairment. The staff are kind, caring and positive in their behaviour. I have been very impressed with their care of my mother.

Reply from Tanya Surtees, Personnel Administrator & PA to CEO at Woodroffe Benton House

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We really appreciate it. We understand that residents' needs change as time goes on and those changes can be scary for both the family and their loved ones. We adapt and change our support to reflect each resident's needs as they change and we always provide this with care and understanding. We are so happy to hear that you are impressed with the care that your mother has received. Thank you.

Mum has only been at the care home for a few months and what a massive difference already. The staff are friendly and it really feels like a family environment. Staff communication is great. We as a family are happy with the service provided.

Reply from Tanya Surtees, HR Administrator at Woodroffe Benton House

Thank you for such a lovely review. We really appreciate it. We understand the first few months are always a worrying time for family, so communication is key to putting your mind at rest. We are so happy that Mum has settled in well and that you have seen such positive changes.

I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the excellent care shown to our mum during the time she was at Ifield Park in Woodrolfe Benton House. This was of particular note in her end of life care where her increasing needs were attended to with the upmost kindness and compassion.
As a family, we too felt looked after and supported. We send a huge thank you to all the staff who have helped our mum over the last 2 years.

I was quite worried about finding the right care home for my mother, but I needn’t have been. My mother is very happy there and well cared for, which is the important thing. She always says how good the food is. The staff work very hard and are very friendly and welcoming.

My mother was unwell and I received a call from the staff to advise me of Mum being poorly. I went straight to the home and they were so helpful and caring for both Mum and myself, nothing was too much trouble. They were all so helpful, it put my mind at ease to know that my mum was being so well looked
after and notifying me at all times they were amazing. Thank you to all.

Reply from Tanya Surtees, HR Administrator at Woodroffe Benton House
