Galanos House is a bit special in my opinion. The culture in any organisation is key and Galanos appears to have one that is very caring both to residents and to staff. It appears to lead to low turnover of staff which is key in any organisation but particularly so in a care home. And I believe a lot of how an organisation performs reflects what comes from the top. Going into a care home can never be easy but I have no worries about my mother in law at Galanos - she is really well cared for and it shows. It was the same for my late father in law too. I have experience of a relative in another care home and it's like chalk and cheese!

The best home setting anyone could ask for it's not a care home it's a community. It's just like living in a hotel with your friends. So much love and care given to each resident. My Mum has a new lease of life since going into the home she is living again.

Making the decision to move a family member to a care home is always difficult but I cannot speak more positively about our Galanos House experience so far. My dad came to Galanos House for a short stay but has recently made the decision to become permanent. Every member of staff is kind, welcoming and cares for Dad to an exceptionally high standard. Thank you to all involved.

The fact that the carers and nurses and all staff at Galanos House really do care shows massively. They have made my father's life liveable again. The team are really supportive and does their very best to help. The activities that the team run for residents are great and help to keep my father entertained and involved, much more than other care homes have done in the past.

Fantastic and attentive care of my father, fully supportive and also kind and engaging. From name places at the dinner table, seemingly endless tea coffee and biscuits, to services like taking him to the dentist or meeting all medical needs, the Galanos team are really amazing.

I can't fault the care my brother-in-law is receiving at Poppy Lodge, all of the staff are lovely, friendly and caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they always have time to chat and are so patient. His mobility has improved enormously because he's encouraged to get up and get involved, rather than being left to just sit in his chair. He's also put on a bit of weight and always looks clean and tidy now, not something that happened when he was living on his own. Although he didn't want to go into a home he now says he wishes he'd come to Galanos House ages ago, you can't say better than that.

Overall, Galanos provides the best possible care for my father. Care staff are excellent, and there is a wide range of activities to keep him entertained, including trips out to the theatre, garden centres and local attractions.

My wife continues to receive the best of care and attention. The positive and welcoming nature of all the staff makes life for her the best it can be in the circumstances she is now in. She is beautifully turned out each day and despite severe disability is encouraged to partake in activities. She thoroughly enjoys her very well-prepared food and is well-supplied with drinks throughout the day. One has an overall impression of a staff who enjoy their work which is infectious overall.

I have 100% confidence my mother will be cared for with respect, fondness and humour which is important to her. Family visits with all her great-grandchildren are welcomed and we are never made to feel in the way. She is stimulated and listened to. The activities are excellent and artwork materials wonderful. We are extremely grateful to have been accommodated.

Galanos House is a fantastic home, they cater for all needs in a very professional and friendly manner, every single resident is made to feel at home and treated with compassion and dignity, it truly is the most wonderful 'forever home'. It is perfect.

Our mum went to Galanos House a little over two years ago after a bad experience. She has been impeccably cared for in a lovely room and the staff all treat her (and us) with respect, friendliness and compassion. She has just turned 100 years old and looks amazing, which is all down to the care given by the home.

My mother has been a resident for 2 and a half years and I have never been to a home that comes close to the quality of this one. The facilities and activities available are truly wonderful. Singers, musicians and entertainers attend most weeks. Staff are without exception always cheerful, fun, friendly and treat all the residents with such kindness and compassion. I have total confidence in the home and know that they are doing everything in their power to make Mum's life as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.
20 November 2024
There are always a good number of staff on duty. They have all been very attentive and caring towards my sister. There are always activities to engage and stimulate my sister, the staff encourage her to take part and support her throughout.

Unfortunately, my brother needed sensitive care for his Parkinson's dementia, after incurring an accident whilst living alone he was admitted to hospital. After an assessment by the team from Galanos House he was deemed suitable for a placement, the transition and care provided from inception going forward is nothing short of a dream. Galanos House ought to receive open accolades from all care providers, from all the staff to volunteer supporters. My brother did not want to go into a care home, we had struggled between our family members for 4 years to look after him in his own residency. All our and more importantly his fears were put to rest immediately, the praise and care provided all these employees give is commendable to the human race. Service with aplomb = a massive thankyou from our family.

Galanos House is an example to all in the care sector of how a care home could and should be run. The care my mother receives is outstanding. She is clearly well cared for, always dressed well and clearly content. The staff-to-resident ratio is very high and it's obvious my mother has a very good, trusting relationship with the staff. There are always activities taking place, and the residents are strongly encouraged to spend their days in the communal areas rather than in their rooms. The staff are always welcoming and professional. Prior to moving to Galanos House my mother was in a different care home and the difference in her cleanliness, the number of minor accidents and her general happiness is a world apart.
20 November 2024
Whenever I expectantly turn up to visit my brother, he is always freshly dressed, shaven and groomed. Staff regularly pop in and check if he would like a drink or needs anything. They are always friendly, cheerful and attentive, calling him by his first name.
20 November 2024
My mother has been in the home for 21.5 years and at all times her care has been excellent. There are a variety of activities which the residents are encouraged to attend but they are free to make their choice. The food is varied and of a high standard. The staff do a wonderful job maintaining a cheerful outlook sometimes in difficult circumstances. Any need for medical treatment has been dealt with quickly. The community hub attached to the home is a great asset, we go there regularly for coffee and again the staff are excellent. My mother chose to go to Galanos as she knew it had a very good reputation she has not been disappointed.

My mother was loved and nursed for 7 long years at Galanos and passed away this year. My father is now in Galanos and has been for some months now, he is extremely happy and feels so well cared for; his words are that it is the best decision he ever made to move there, the staff are the very best you could dream to have caring for him 24/7. He is treated with so much respect, love and dignity. He says that the time passes so quickly because there is always so much to do. He loves the meals and the variety. He couldn't wish to be anywhere better and we feel blessed that he is so well cared for.

Galanos House is a wonderful place. My Mother lives in the dementia unit Poppy Lodge. The residents are well looked after, the food is varied and nutritious and there are plenty of choices. The staff engage with the residents constantly throughout the day and lots of activities are available to all.
