View Full Details of Eliza Palmer Care HomeMum has now passed away but I can't speak highly enough of the care she received in the last two years of her life. From the management team through to the caterers, everybody is so lovely!
I moved into the Eliza Palmer Home in January 2024 under the care of the current owner. Within a few months a meeting was called and the residents were told Eliza Palmer had been sold to Kingsley House Trust. We were assured the move would be seamless with improvements. Sadly the care went downhill, it was rushed, up late to go to activities. Staff were leaving and the care at night was down to 1 carer for 15 residents. Activities have become less as the organiser is carer trained and helps out with the staff shortages. The new kitchen and chefs have improved the meal quality. I love my suite. The view from my window is of the gardens enjoyed by some of the residents. Sadly I do not consider the high rent value for money.
As a vegetarian mum has had a restricted diet from an outside meal provider. She complains of boring food! She is the only vegetarian resident so a challenge to the new chef. Bear in mind mum's taste buds are shot and she now likes sweet things which she never had before. Activities are not marked as mum is bed bound she is naturally a private person.
Excellent all over - staff facilities and care. Thank you so much.
Dad is well cared for. Good nursing, caring and helpful staff.
Our mother first attended Eliza Palmer at the height of Covid and we were immediately impressed with the duty of care and hygiene levels in the newly built facility. The last few years mum has experienced a cognitive decline, with communication difficult at times. However, she has always been very content and happy with her carers, the food and room facilities. Kingsley Healthcare have recently acquired the home and I cannot express enough gratitude and admiration for the levels of care and regular communication we have about mum and her condition. The team are first class and we have complete confidence in mum's care and safeguarding.
We love the home and surrounding village and it is great that we can pop mum in a wheelchair and go for a walk to sit in the garden. Mum is very happy at Eliza and joins in the activities when she can. She recently went on a riverboat trip and loved it. Generally, the staff are very good and caring, especially on a one-to-one basis. It would be nice to have more interaction with residents at weekends from those watching TV and for those who prefer to stay in their rooms. It seems they occasionally lack company. The food whilst satisfactory at the moment could be improved, however we understand moves are underway to ensure food is cooked fresh on the premises. The nursery staff are excellent and alert us promptly if mum's health or medical needs change.
I attended the monthly Residents and Relatives Coffee and Chat morning today. It is conducted by the Care Home Manager and her Deputy and it is our opportunity to ask questions, solve any problems and generally build on relationships. I consider this to be an extremely good event carried out in a very happy and friendly environment.
My husband became a resident of the Eliza Palmer Hub in September of this year. The care he has received has been outstanding and I mean outstanding. After 3 months of residency, I feel so comfortable and reassured knowing that he is receiving the best possible care. The staff are so caring to me as well as my husband and I visit at all sorts of times but the greeting is always the same. Warm and welcoming. I highly recommend you visit and decide for yourselves.
