Reviews for Camellia House Care Home

"Camellia House Care Home has a very relaxed atmosphere, and residents seem very happy. My aunt, who is a resident, loved it at Camellia House and is very happy with all the support she receives from the staff. I would recommend Camellia House. We are looking forward to the refurbishment being completed so that my aunt can enjoy an ensuite room."

"Camellia House is delightful, all of the staff are very friendly and helpful. They have made my mum feel very much at home and she was very against going into care but once there, she quickly settled in and now loves it and does not want to leave. The food is excellent and plentiful and the rooms clean, bright, and comfortable,"

"I just wanted to leave some feedback regarding the care given to my mother before she passed away in April. Whilst my mother was not necessarily the easiest person to deal with at times, she did seem to have made some genuine friendships with the staff at Camelia House and the staff were always friendly and helpful to her and those that came to visit her. Despite my mother's obstinate nature, the staff always encouraged her to partake in the activities they laid on and after she eventually ceased avoiding these, she found that she thoroughly enjoyed many of the things that were events and activities that were laid on, even going so far as to help run some crafting sessions as she had experience with this from before she was transferred to the home. The staff should also be commended for their professional handling of the Covid situation, prioritising the safety of the residents, even before the lockdown was officially put in place by the government."

"The home continues their good work in caring for my 102-year-old mother. They have seen her through the pandemic so far, and I am back being able to sit in her room with her and hold her hand. The carers, admin, staff, management, cleaners and chefs are all friendly, caring and professional. Well done to all of them, and thank you."

"Visited my mom yesterday in the pod for the first time since it's induction, found it to be very good, nice to sit inside, and not have to speak through a window. Just one thing I thought you should know, the armchair for residents tends to slip on the floor when residents stand up, perhaps you could fit anti-slip pads on the feet, other than that, it's excellent - the usual great service."

"We have only been able to see mum once a week for 20-30 minutes since March 2020. We cannot comment as to inside the home currently. However, our past experience has been really satisfactory. We have enjoyed times with mum, other residents and carers these have been great and so pleased we chose this home for mum and so is she. Well done keep it up. We are concerned about what will happen in winter where do we see mum?"

"I found the skill and clinical excellence of the nursing staff excellent and very helpful and informative. The caring staff were not only excellent but were kindness itself to my wife, trying to talk to her and entertain her while in her room. They went the extra mile to keep her contented and safe. The support staff, receptionists, cleaners and cooks etc were extremely kind and helpful. They made my wife's final days happy, safe, clean and secure."

"My father is very happy at Camellia House. The staff are all very friendly, making it a very homely place to be. The standard of care he is given is very high and he regularly comments on how helpful everyone is. It has been lovely to be able to visit after such a long time due to Covid and hope it’s not too long before we can start visiting more often and taking my father out."

Residents are encouraged to join in daily activities, there is always something going on in the conservatory and lots of opportunities to get to know other residents and their relatives. I really enjoy visiting."

The staff are very helpful and always wear a smile. They are very quick to act at the first sign of illness (such as a cold), as she usually needs antibiotics."

"Highfield is a friendly establishment where residents, despite their varied and challenging needs, are cared for with love and dignity. Residents' first names are used by all of the staff, and each is made to feel special and a worthwhile member of the community. Similar care and welcome is extended to visitors to the home who very soon become a part of this happy community."

"My Mother-in-Law is suffering from MS, which is a terminal condition. She was not initially expected to last long due to the complications caused by a previous home, but due to the expert tender care that she has received from the staff at the home, she is still with us a year later. If you ask the staff for something, provided that it is in the safe care of the patient, then the request is normally fulfilled. The decoration of the home does look as if it could do with a touch up in certain places, however, the money spent by the company has been spent in the right places - on the staff and care of the patients. The Senior Staff are knowledgeable and extremely professional, and I would not ask for a better team to run a home that any of my relatives were in. In fact, my aunt, some years ago, was a resident here, and we wanted to be using this home again."

We had a lovely afternoon tea on Mothers' Day which we all enjoyed. Last year we had a lovely party at the home and are looking forward to her next birthday when she will be 99 years old and have yet another celebration. Thank you to all the staff."

"My brother-in-law came in a few weeks ago, only the second time I have had dealings with a care home, and I am very impressed. The staff are very nice and friendly, you get cups of tea and cake, which is not important but a nice little touch. With a nice garden, the place is very clean, and he is being looked after well and is comfortable there, so I am really pleased overall."
