"This two week stay at Hugh Myddelton for my mother shortly after a short hospital stay was an excellent experience, both for her, my sister and I. We were treated with professional and empathetic respect and dignity, and Mum was comfortable and always reassured us that the staff were lovely and she was content. This care centre is just the right size, large enough to have the professional staff, nurses and expertise, but small enough to give those who give here personal and lovely attention."

"Our father was happy, content and well cared for here. The wide range of activities on offer, connecting often with the outside world was stimulating and meant that our father slept less during the day. There were no smells here. The home was warm and very clean, and the front of house team was welcoming. The menu was very varied and enjoyed by our father. The carers did their job well, and the management team were always available to discuss any concerns (which were few). The link with the local GP was good, and she took the time to contact us on occasions. Our father was a resident during the pandemic, but he was able to have a designated visitor to his room so his family were able to visit most days, hugely appreciated. Some of the staff did over and above what was expected of them. The rooms are small, but we were able to accommodate a recliner from home. We feel confident to leave our father in the care of the Hugh Myddelton team. Thank you."

"All nurses, carers and management are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent and always clean and tidy. My wife is treated with dignity and carers/nurses keep me well informed on all matters. Unable to really comment on the activities as my wife has until very recently been unable to take part in them, however, I would say the weekly schedule appears very well planned and appropriate."

"Mum has been a Hugh Myddelton resident since March 2018. During these months of lockdown and the challenges, this in itself has presented to all of us, we as a family (my sister, my brother and I) are very happy with the care provided to our Mum. The nurses and care staff undertake their work in a professional, compassionate, kind and caring manner and always take time to explain to us how Mum is doing when we call/visit. Both the home administrator and admin assistant are welcoming and friendly on the phone. In particular, our experience of the activities co-ordinator is wonderful. She is doing a tremendous job in keeping our Mum active and stimulated, with a sense of fun too! This is clear to see from photos taken during the activities and from our garden/indoor visits when we see Mum. We are comforted to see Mum is content and settled when we Skype/visit. Everyone is working so hard to keep us all going. All in all, we can see how Mum is well cared for and looked after. Thank you."

"My mother has been at Hugh Myddleton House for over 9 years and the ground floor team (particularly the nursing team) look after her so well. She can be quite tricky but over the years, they have changed her drug routine for the better, have got her to get out of her bed and sit in a chair, she even walks around and chats to people now, which was something she hadn't done for years. Yes, it is expensive but my mother is safe, well cared for and content so I can't ask for anything else."

"Currently in the process of rectifying issues caused by actions by the manager ignoring their own terms and conditions, which allowed the input of people that are not next of kin listed with themselves. This to me is a serious safeguarding issue, which will be followed up once a full investigation is completed. Because of this, and a number of smaller issues over the years, I would not recommend this care home to anyone."

"I’m very happy with the care provided to my husband. The nursing staff look after him very well which is a comfort to my family and I. My husband seems very settled and happy. It has been hard for us all not being able to visit during the pandemic and he has coped quite well not seeing us, but we have seen him in the last couple of weeks and it was lovely to see him. Thank you again."

"I feel the staff require training regarding being organised, especially as papers went missing in my father's folder. Staff should not make stories when they don't know the answers as I had some confused answers contradicting themselves. Also, some of his clothing went missing. I expected more professional service after paying private service which was expensive."

My Mum is very well looked after and we as a family are happy our Mum is in safe hands."

"I have found my stay comfortable and friendly. The staff could not be more helpful. It would be bettered only by having more staff on duty each day. Medical care is 1st class. Hospitals and specialists are called in to assist when they feel the need the food is very good and varied, allowing for diets. Requests are met with if nothing on the menu is liked."

Gulbeden N
carehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Since my mother entered care I have seen care quality delivery of the poorest standards at one care home; good delivery with occasional catastrophic negligence at another, and a standard way below those at Hugh Myddelton at her last nursing home. She has now been at Hugh Myddelton for as long as her combined time at 3 previous establishments and her care quality remains exemplary in comparison, where she is content in spite of her slowly advancing dementia."

"Our experience for our mother can be described only as "excellent" and hence answers as below. Please do not underestimate this! Following a most distressing time at hospital (hospital were as good as could be) - One staff member, in particular, has been a breath of fresh air subsequently in all respects and not just in her recovery. I repeat, a deserved 10 out of 10 for below on all counts and a massive thank you."

"My mother has been in this home since 2004, she has received overall good care. I find the staff are friendly and always welcoming. My mother seems happy here. The rooms are clean and the food seems ok. My mother prefers mostly one to one activities and the activity co-coordinator really tries to meet her needs as she is still young and likes to do things that maybe the older generation doesn’t. Overall the home is good."

"The home has been fantastic from our first point of contact. The manager had great empathy and understanding, immiediately making my Mother happy with the decision. On arrival, the senior nurse was very quickly ontop of my Father's requirements, despite his late arrival after a hospital discharge. Subsequently, another member of staff has been fantastic and provided a high degree of confidence within the medical nursing care. All carers genuinely live up to their name - Happy, professional and warm-natured. The home is immaculate and the quality of care is exactly as we wished."

"Overall the standard is good to very good, with a manager who works hard to maintain a high standard, as do the majority of the care staff who work very hard to complete the daily tasks. The dementia floor struggles to feed 19 residents with 4 care staff and 1 nurse and rely on help from other floors and managers. One to one for two residents is now helping the situation. The auxiliary staff are also helpful."

All this concern has gone since my Mum moved into Hugh Myddelton House Care Centre.

"Carers and staff are dedicated to their job, unfortunately, the care home are unable to retain carers on a long term basis and continuity trying to employ staff to those who leave.

He was in a poorly state on his arrival but if it wasn't for the excellent care and nursing he wouldn't have survived so long. All the staff loved my father, he was cared for, nursed and clean!

In spite of rather changeable weather, the staff put up gazebos in the garden, the chef cooked chicken, salmon and sausages in a strong wind. The dining room was decorated and the cold buffet was laid there. Some residents went outside, but a lot (in wheelchairs) stayed in the dining room. Everyone seemed happy. After the meal, there was entertainment. All sections of the staff - from the management to carers and the entertainment staff worked so hard and made it a most enjoyable day."
