I previously left a review for Mount Tryon as my aunt is a resident here & I couldn't speak more highly of the home or its staff. I now volunteer here once a week visiting residents on Memory Lane who either don't have regular visitors or some who don't have any visitors. I had previously said that once I retired I would return to voluntary work as when my children were young I helped to run a mother & toddler group & a playgroup & had envisioned returning to something similar or possibly a primary school. When I was asked by the activities co-ordinator if I'd like to volunteer here it was a no-brainer, I'd already begun chatting to one of the ladies & really enjoyed our chats. Well over a year later I know it was the right decision, I really look forward to my Friday visits, hopefully as much as the residents look forward to seeing me. I feel honoured to have been asked to help with this, I am made to feel very welcome by everyone at Mount Tryon & always feel a part of the team.

My daughter and I chose Mount Tryon as we needed a safe and comfortable environment where my 87 year old mother could recover from a broken leg and heart surgery before returning home. The staff, accommodation and facilities were absolutely first class. The management manage their friendly staff and every aspect of Mount Tryon extremely well and extend their kindness, patience and caring to guests and visitors as well as the residents. The experience could be likened to being in a hotel with large, comfortable bedrooms, spacious lounge areas, lovely gardens and a restaurant offering delicious menu choices each day. There was even a hairdressing salon! Mount Tryon is an excellent home from home and exceeded our expectations.

My dad has been in memory lane for 4 months following a hospital stay. It has been a disappointing experience which has been very stressful & upsetting for me although my dad has been unaware due to his lack of capacity. The management do not appear to be interested in resolving concerns & a number of safeguarding issues have been raised by Social Services. My dad's been on antibiotics pretty much the entire time he has been there and this initially made his dementia worse. However following a fracture which resulted in him going to hospital we were phoned and told they could not take him back as they could not meet his needs. This is after I was assured this would not happen as his baseline level couldn't be assessed until he was clear of infection. The carers overall have been lovely as have the cleaners, catering & laundry staff. I hadn't realised that the deputy manager & head of the dementia unit are married which I think raises a conflict of interest.

My friend was a resident when I visited her, the staff and management were all lovely and helpful, the home was nice and clean and the meals looked good. The residents appeared to be well looked after and the staff were very attentive. Some of the residents I saw were enjoying being shown how to make creative activities that were on offer.

This is a lovely home, it's more like a hotel. I didn't know homes like this still existed. Very clean, staff are friendly and so kind to the residents. The cake is delicious and I cannot recommend this home enough.

They give you lovely care, treat you really well with extreme dignity, wonderful place.

My grandma, who is 96, moved in recently and it's been not only a weight off my family's shoulders knowing that she's being so well looked after but so lovely to see the care and dedication that all of the staff provide to her. We looked at numerous care/nursing homes before choosing Barchester Mount Tryon Care Home and I can honestly say, without a doubt, Mount Tryon was the most welcoming, organised, cleanest, caring, friendliest, homely and well-run out of all of them. Grandma had become somewhat of a recluse mainly due to being housebound but since being at Mount Tryon, she has a new lease of life. She takes part in the daily activities that the loveliest of activity coordinators organise and joins the residents in the dining room most days for food. She's made new friends and it's actually quite emotional at times seeing just how happy she is now.

We were looking for a care home for my mum. We wanted somewhere welcoming, homely, clean and providing daily activities and stimulation for the residents. Barchester Mount Tryon Care Home ticked all the boxes and more besides. Mount Tryon was a breath of fresh air, from the first step we took into the building, it felt like being home. Mount Tryon was spotlessly clean, with excellent facilities. Apart from the daily activities, there are frequent theme days with residents and their families invited to get involved. Above all, the staff at Mount Tryon were brilliant in every way, friendly and welcoming with an excellent ratio of staff to residents. The dining room is beautiful, as are the gardens. The cosy coffee lounge allows residents and their visitors to help themselves to drinks and freshly homemade baked cakes at any time of the day. There is also a residents' lounge with a selection of books for those who like to read. I would recommend Mount Tryon to anyone in need of residential or respite care.

My mum came here after a lengthy stay in hospital in September last year. All staff are professional, friendly, and supportive, they go over and beyond every single day to ensure that all residents' needs are catered for. There is a lovely dining room, coffee lounge, and residents lounge. There are freshly baked cakes every day, all food is prepared fresh the same day it is on the menu. It was a very hard decision for her to make as she was not coping at home, this was made easier by the amazing surroundings, truly wonderful staff, 24-hour nursing staff on-site, daily activities and the feeling that you are part of the family. I would 100% recommend this to anyone requiring respite care, recuperation from a hospital stay or anyone not coping at home.

Definitely five stars. I was on my way to a holiday in Devon and did a little detour to see an old friend who was in for respite due to an illness. I must admit, I was not looking forward to seeing them and a bit worried what to expect. She was making cakes with the activity girl when we arrived, she looked amazing and was having a lovely time and looked so well. The home was also not what I expected, I think I will retire there myself when my time comes. Staff were amazing and so caring. Thank you so much for everything you have done and keep doing.

My husband recently had some respite care at Mount Tryon, after he was hospitalised and not well enough to return home. The staff were so kind and caring, the food was delicious, he enjoyed the activities and I was made to feel welcome on every visit. For us, this was a daunting experience made very easy thanks to this wonderful home. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Mount Tryon again and we would recommend it to anyone looking for wonderful care.

Five stars. I visited a friend who was staying at Barchester Mount Tryon Care Home, I found the care staff so helpful and friendly, I could help myself to tea or coffee and I must say, the cakes were delicious. There were lots of activities on offer, my friend had an activity programme in their room, which my friend found some of them very inviting. I liked the feel of the place.

Barchester Mount Tryon Care Home cared for my mum for over five years, the staff were always polite, respectful, understanding and professional, the nursing care she received was both individual and holistic, the home was always fresh, clean and busy with activities for all the clients, regardless of their stage of dementia. Relatives' views were regularly sought by the manager in order to promote well-being and inclusiveness. Upon my mum's passing, the staff went out of their way to provide comfort and dignity for my mum and for us, as a family.
25 January 2024
As a family, this was our first experience of needing to use a care home. From our first enquiry, we felt that it was exactly what we were looking for in the care of our loved one. All the staff were extremely supportive of my sister and us, we were kept informed of her care from the first day she arrived and they were sensitive to her needs and ours. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Mount Tryon to anyone.

The care out mother receives is exemplary, particularly from the male nurse that is on during the day. Not only for our mum but also for us.
22 January 2024
Both my parents have been service users. The home is welcoming, light, air and smells lovely as you walk in. The staff are superb, great communication with both service users and relatives. There was a medical emergency which was dealt with in a very professional and reassuring manner by the staff. As a retired nurse, I've been impressed by what I've seen and would recommend this home.

My Mum is being so well looked after at Mount Tryon, I was really apprehensive about admitting her into a care home but, at Mount Tryon all my worries have been eased. The staff are lovely and, so caring and considerate. There are always activities and entertainment for the care home residents. Her mobility and dietary needs are well catered for too and, she has taken up a few new hobbies and, made friends with both residents and staff members. My mum is really happy at Mount Tryon.

Looking for respite for my wife and after a number of options were considered we settled on Mount Tryon, after visiting on an Open Day. As it was the first occasion respite was tried our daughters and I were pleasantly surprised at how quickly she settled. The staff, from the Manager downwards, could not have been more helpful and caring. The room she had was spacious with ensuite facilities. On collecting my wife after two weeks respite all the staff present came to wish her goodbye with hugs etc which my wife responded to. We would have no hesitation in using Mount Tryon again in the future for further respite.

We recently used Mount Tryon for an emergency respite for my mum. We were shown around the same day we called. Mum was assessed the next day by the manager and we managed to get Mum in the home the next day. Mum was welcomed and settled into the home quickly. The staff were amazing, the chef, reception and activities were all so kind. We have managed to extend Mum's stay and can’t be more happy.

My aunt recently had a respite stay at Mount Tryon to provide some relief for a struggling family at home. We were very wary of the experience but were supported the whole time. My aunt had a wonderful time, she said she had a fabulous holiday. The staff were so kind and caring. My aunt loved the garden, the company and the activities. We have the next stay booked. Thank you to the whole team.
