Dad stayed at Juniper House for 5 months. Having to adjust from living independently, to being physically and mentally incapacitated.The care and friendliness he was shown by all staff was exceptional. The care team helped him adapt and cope with his new limitations. Dad loved the food, and all his dietary requirements were met. Dad had a full care plan in place that was regularly reviewed. We witnessed the high level of care delivered to all the residents, particularly at mealtimes when staff are under a lot of pressure. The care team remained inclusive and alert to balance every individual's needs, always with a smile and friendly chat. During Dad's end of life care, my family feel blessed to be with my Dad until the end. The professionalism, care and love from all of the RGN's guided us through this sad time with support and ease. Dad was treated with the utmost dignity at all times, and his comfort was the priority, making the right decisions at exactly the right times.

Excellent, consistent kindly care, well led by management. Sensitive approach to death with dignity. One member of staff, in particular, is a great example but many other have been excellent others have been excellent throughout my mothers care, i.e. one member of staff, in particular, as a carer and another member of staff.

Thank you so much for your kindness and consideration as you looked after my mum with such care and compassion in her final days. Her three years at Barchester Juniper House were as positive and comfortable as they could be due, in no small measure, to the professionalism, support and kindness of the team.

My husband has been in Barchester Juniper House nearly two years with advanced dementia - unable to care or speak for himself. His care has been excellent - caring and respectful. I visit every day. The home is like home from home. Caring staff, homely atmosphere and thoughtfulness, even to myself. My nephew, from Australia, visited - he had hardly got through the door and was very impressed with the home and my husband's room and the friendliness of staff. I know my husband is in good hands. The meals are very good and most of the time, presented well. I have recommended the home to others. I am very happy with Juniper.

Juniper house is an outstanding home in every aspect. Each and every member of staff is so kind, helpful, thoughtful and caring of all their residents. My mum feels safe, happy and is eating well. She needs extra nursing care and her nurses are so kind and attentive. As soon as you walk into the home there is a cosy, warm family atmosphere. Her room is bright with new furniture and a lovely outlook on the garden. With the help of carers she can shower each day safely. Mum enjoys all her meals, when living alone she hardly ate and had a poor appetite. I have observed the carers and all staff with other residents and they are treated with utmost kindness and respect. I am always made to feel welcome and I really like the happy atmosphere, there is plenty for mum to do if she wishes. Mum likes to spend time in the garden which is kept beautiful with bird feeders, flowers and a fish pond. I am truly thankful to the manager and her amazing team, Juniper Houser is wonderful.

The love and care at Barchester Juniper House has been wonderful. It has, very much, a family atmosphere and my mother has good relationships with many of the staff. My husband and I have felt very welcome too. My mother is well cared for and enjoys the activities and outings.

All staff at Barchester Juniper House are very welcoming and it gives the home a lovely family feel. My aunt has settled in very well after having to leave her own home earlier this year. The care she receives is excellent; nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff and we are kept fully informed of any medical concerns. We would like to express our appreciation for the kindness and support shown.

Barchester Juniper House is an outstanding home. My nan has been there for sixteen months now after only going in for two weeks rest, she absolutely loved it and wanted to make this her new home. All the staff are amazing, nothing is ever too much to ask from them. It's a very welcoming, clean and family feel to the home. Activities are always on and loads of different things for her to enjoy plus being taken out to local places. It's always lovely and clean when we visit and full of smiles from the staff. This definitely makes it easier to leave Nan in the best hands when we leave.

The exercise class on Fridays has been a real tonic for my father and we would all like to express our appreciation to the activity leader who facilitates not only the physical but also the social interaction. Thank you!

Mum has been in Juniper now for a little over a year. The staff are very welcoming, cheery and approachable. They will always help with any concerns and keep families well informed. The standard of care is very good and individual needs are addressed. There are plenty of activities for residents to enjoy if they wish to, but privacy is also respected. The grounds are beautifully kept and the communal areas and residents rooms are always very clean. The food is very good and residents are frequently consulted for their likes and dislikes. We would like Mum to be taken out into the garden a little more often but appreciate that this can be difficult due to varying demands on staff.

The care of Mum at Juniper is excellent. Cannot fault the staff for the very high level of care that is provided. All staff are kind and compassionate. Her needs and care requirements have increased since she became a resident 3 years ago and this has been managed extremely well. Communication from the staff is also extremely good. Mum is happy and content. I highly recommend Juniper to others.

Juniper House have been outstanding since my mother move there 3 years ago. All nurses and carers are compassionate, loving and extremely supportive when needed. I simply can't say a bad word about Juniper!

Since my wife entered near two years ago. She has been very well treated with great friendliness and respect. The staff (all of them) keep me fully informed of happenings and medical conditions and if needed medical changes. I could not be happier with this placement.

I am amazed at the improvements I have seen in my grandmother since she has come to stay at Barchester Juniper House. Staff are genuinely concerned about her welfare at all times and she is being cared for very compassionately. I cannot thank the staff enough and it is a weight off our minds that she is now safe. Particular thanks to one member of staff, in particular, who seems to have an excellent rapport with her.

We chose Juniper House after visiting a large number of homes, we were impressed by the staff we met and chatted to, you could tell from how they spoke about the home that they cared about their jobs and more importantly, the people they cared for which is what we were looking for. They looked after my mother with such love that it put my mind at rest that we had made the right choice.

The staff at Juniper House were particularly attentive when some of our family visited to celebrate my parent's 65th wedding anniversary. We were very impressed when the catering department provided a specially decorated cake, which, as well as looking amazing also tasted delicious! The staff are always friendly and helpful and made sure that this special occasion was enjoyed by us all.

The most fantastic, purpose-built care home in the area, which is genuinely like a home from home. My husband receives the best care, which is so wonderful to see - this is from everyone, not just the amazing carers directly responsible for him but from the chefs, housekeeping, administration staff, and nurses and up to management level. The food is so good and there are always activities and outings being planned to stimulate and keep the residents active. I too am always made so welcome and spend lots of time with my husband each day - I really feel part of the family - and I cannot recommend Barchester Juniper House enough.

I selected Juniper House for my father based on the testament of two friends and a personal visit. The home is in a lovely setting and is beautifully landscaped and well-maintained, the central courtyard with the fountain being visible from all the rooms on that side of the building. The inside is well-designed, laid out and immaculately clean. I wanted to get my father out of the hospital and into nursing care. The manager pulled out all the stops to achieve this as quickly as possible. All the staff were welcoming, friendly, caring, kind and helpful; I knew they would take good care of my father. As it turned out he did not have much time left, so he didn't get to take part in any of the many fun and stimulating activities offered to residents. The staff went out of their way to make my father's short stay comfortable and dignified, I genuinely can't think of a single thing that could have been done better and will always be grateful for the way they treated him.

We looked at eight other new homes for our 92 and 93 year old parents. They have been in residence for three weeks so far, but we cannot fault the staff. Care, compassion and kindness all come to mind, but that doesn't begin to do justice to this exceptional care home! They really do go the extra mile to ensure that residents adapt to their new home. They are not just supported, cared for and loved, but it seems that everything possible is done to make them happy. The food is excellent and activities varied and all-inclusive. There is not a doubt that this home is absolutely perfect for our family. Thank you so much.
