My mother has been in residence here from 3rd August 2024. I have nothing but praise for all the staff. So helpful and caring towards my mum. She did take a while to settle but that was due to her losing her independence etc. They always pop in when passing and have a chat. Their care is excellent as my mum has lost her mobility she needs a lot done for her but, nothing is an issue, lots of cups of tea. Food has been a bit inconsistent of late and as my mum was a cook she does comment a lot. All in all an excellent service.

I visit my friend weekly, staff are nice and the house looks lovely and has been nicely decorated. I am always offered a hot drink and a biscuit and a quiet place to sit to catch up with my friend. I have been lucky enough to be visiting whilst some of the activities have taken place and these have been brilliant. I could tell that a lot of effort had gone into planning and running these activities.

My brother has been a resident here since 17/6/24. He was an extremely confused, angry and very challenging resident but is now contented and (mostly) compliant, solely down to the patient, compassionate and long-suffering staff. They have always been positive. The manager has a lovely, upbeat approach and did everything in her power to help him settle and succeeded in doing so! She always gets a smile from him which is lovely for family to see. When he has had medical issues staff are just wonderful. Although I can see stress and tiredness etched on their faces they play it all down. I can't praise them highly enough. His personal care is always a priority as he can be difficult but again it's amazing how staff develop little strategies to get him to comply. The food is brilliant! He ate virtually nothing before entering Munches but is enjoying all his food so much which is a joy to see. Residents have numerous activities to opt into and visiting groups plus outdoor spaces to enjoy.

Great home, very welcoming, kept clean and tidy by wonderful, caring staff who make sure the residents are well looked after. With lots of activities and trips to the day centre, as well as arranged hairdresser appointments in-house.

I am always greeted with a smile and made very welcome. The home is always clean and smells very fresh and the residents appear to be very content, the staff are always busy but find time to have a chat with me.

The staff at Munches Park have done an excellent job of keeping my mum and all the other residents safe during the current crisis. I know she is well cared for which gives the family great peace of mind.

Throughout Covid-19, the staff have been brilliant in enabling contact to be maintained via FaceTime and now, in August, by outdoor visits. It has been an extremely trying time for everyone, but I believe all staff at Munches Park have done their best. They should be congratulated.

Mum has settled well, despite lockdown. Having the telephone has been a great benefit. Recently, she has enjoyed her trips out now that you have transport again. Grateful that visits have been allowed even if in the garden.

I have found my sisters care at Munches Park House to be very good in her 6 1/2 years as a resident.

Welcoming and very clean home. Friendly and homely atmosphere. Excellent food. Beautiful garden and good selection of activities. Maybe more one to one activities. Helpful, local staff. My mother's room is lovely and she settled in very well.

Following a prolonged stay in hospital after a fall, my mother lost confidence in living alone in her sheltered accommodation. She no longer socialised in any organised activities and was isolated in her flat. Since arriving at Munches Park, her quality of life has improved greatly. She enjoys the food and company at meal times, joins in with activities and entertainment and has her hair done weekly by the visiting hairdresser. She loves the staff who are all so friendly, taking the residents out for a drive for afternoon tea and ice cream. Her bedroom is warm and bright with a lovely outlook to the garden and park. She is surrounded by her family photos and own TV when she wants time on her own. It is a relief to know she is safe and obviously well cared for by dedicated staff who always find time for a chat or answer any questions. Munches Park is an excellent facility and has proved to be a very positive move for my mum.

My wife has been a resident for almost 5 years. Throughout that time she has been extremely well cared for, being treated with kindness, concern and compassion. The home and staff are well maintained and helpful. I am so impressed with Munches Park House that if/when I need residential care I would be delighted to find a home there.

I am very happy with the care provided to my mother. It is a great comfort knowing that she is safe, nourished and nurtured by carer's, in fact, all staff including catering and domestic staff even the hairdresser. The recent artwork which has been enthused by both residents and staff alike have been very impressive, a great achievement and highly commendable. My mother recently had a short visit to the hospital, on her return she said "Thank God I'm Home" this is a good endorsement.

My mother has received excellent care from the staff. Her health and wellbeing have improved greatly.

We feel the carers are all excellent and genuinely care about our mum. She's been here for 6 years now and is requiring more help especially when eating. I wish there were more activities, especially musical - singing or musicians.
