"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."

"My Father-in-law is staying in Hugh Myddelton for a couple of months whilst his wife is in hospital. The staff are very helpful, friendly and have helped him to settle in."

"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."

"All the staff were welcoming and friendly. This was my first visit and it was encouraging. There seems to be a lot of activities and I would hope that everybody who is able to, participates. The only concern was the occasional and intense smell of cigarette smoke in the corridor, immediately next to his room."

"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 the staff at Hugh Myddleton are helpful friendly and welcoming. Nurses and care assistants were professional, experienced and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The building is purpose built and access with a wheelchair is not a problem, the rooms are well equipped and well maintained."

"I am so pleased and happy to know my husband is in safe hands. I could not wish for a better place for him. Nurses and care staff are of very good standard and their knowledge of caring is just wonderful. The awareness of medical needs is 1st class. The manager is at hand at all times. The home is a very friendly place. Thank you, Hugh Myddelton House Care Centre and all who make it the best."

"My husband who has Alzheimer's and is confused to a wheelchair is happy at the Hugh Myddelton House Care Centre. The staff are very caring and the food is excellent. Occasionally things get lost e.g pyjamas, hearing aids, but overall I am very satisfied with the care his is getting and I would and have recommended the home."

"I find the nursing home friendly with good care and excellent staff. Home has been recently decorated with an excellent restaurant and café, both opening onto a pretty garden. The manager and his staff have worked hard in maintaining standards. The nurses and carers are well trained and compassionate, ably supported by our activities co-ordinator, and restaurant staff."

"It is a huge relief for us to know that our father is "safe" 24/7 while we continue to work and care for our families. Staff are kind and caring and go the extra mile for dad and have become like family to him. The home has a community feel and although staff are extremely busy, they also have time for us. I have and will continue to recommend this home to friends and family."

"I was extremely concerned when I was told that my mother was too immobile to be able to live in her own home again. I felt that she would never be happy elsewhere. All this concern has gone since my Mum moved into Hugh Myddelton House Care Centre. She is eating again and laughing again, the nurses and carers treat her with concern, dignity and love, I could ask for no more. The home feels truly like a home, and although we are real newcomers, we have been welcomed with open arms."

"My sister resided at Barchester Hugh Myddelton House since 2004 to 2017. The staff there have looked after her very well. We were all like a family. The current manager is excellent, as are his staff, from nurses, carers, house-keeping, domestic, excellent chefs and warm, friendly and helpful reception and office staff."

"The nursing and care staff are professional in every way - kind, considerate and informative. My mother conveys positive feedback frequently. Although confined to her room mostly, we find that we are always made to feel welcome at all events. The overall standards of cleanliness and consistency of staff are a constant comfort to us."

"This purpose built modern care home is well furnished, bright and clean. The staff are very caring. The food is good. There are activities for those who are able to participate. Like most care homes/hospitals, they don't always have enough staff, so the nurses and carers are very busy."

"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. Many carers leave after gaining experience and certain qualifications and apply to join employment in "national health service" for "better terms" of employment."

"The home cared for my father from start on 7th July 2015 until has passing on Friday 12th August 2016. He was 102 and 10 months! 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! Such a worry when you are leaving a loved one with strangers but we had total peace of mind with leaving him at Barchester Hugh Myddelton House. We can't thank them enough."

"Dad had reached the great age of 101 when after having spent a month in hospital, it was decided he needed 24-hour care, and what wonderful care he got. The staff at Barchester Hugh Myddelton House Care Centre are the most kind, caring and professional bunch of people. From the nursing staff to the cleaners. Ou minds were at peace knowing he was in the care of such dedicated staff. Dad has just passed away the dedication shown to him and us went above and beyond the call of duty."

"The home is always clean and tidy. Mum receives excellent care from all the staff. She always looks clean, well cared for and the clothes are always colour coordinated. The laundry service is excellent. There are always plenty of staff so I know she is always safe and always treated with dignity which is so very important."

"On Saturday 20th August, Barchester Hugh Myddelton House Care Centre organised a BBQ. 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."
