What our families say on carehome.co.uk

"My nan came to the home just before Christmas 2023 and I and the rest of the family are blown away by the care my nan is receiving. I come in as much as I can and each time she seems more and more healthier and happy. The staff across the home are extremely friendly and have massively reassured us as a family that my nan is being well looked after and is happy to be here."

"Our mum, unfortunately, suffers from dementia and her care needs are complex, thankfully we have found a great home where she is cared for and her needs are met perfectly. Visiting regularly for a number of months now has allowed us to see how the staff of Parklands not only care for our mum but also all the residents in the home. They are not only extremely professional in their care they also show respect and genuine fondness for all the residents in their care. As a family, we are grateful that we have found a place where our mum is safe and cared for which befits the love we have for her. Thank you, Paternoster, and particularly the ladies of Parklands. We would 100% recommend this care home for your loved one."

"When I came here for a week, I was very upset, but everyone put themselves out to put me at ease, day and night. I had a complete washdown every day. My medication was always on time. All the staff were always asking if I was ok. The cher always came out of the kitchen to speak to me. The lady at reception always made my family welcome. Overall, it is a rest home but made more of a hotel with medical care. I will be back as a visitor as I was invited and I will do some charity music shown very soon to say thank you."

"My mum has never been so happy in a care home before. There is so much attention paid to each resident, and the care and love from the staff are just wonderful. Mum especially loves all the activities during the day, trips to the cinema/pub and outings to the local nursery to buy plants for the garden. I'm so glad we chose Paternoster House."

"I have been coming to the home weekly to visit my gran for over a year, and I have always had the warmest of welcomes. Everyone is so kind and caring, and everybody knows my gran! She is so happy there, and I wouldn’t want her anywhere else. Everyone is so friendly, all the residents too, and it feels like a home from home - like I’m going to my gran's house.

"Paternoster House Care Home meets all the needs in taking care of my mother. I’m so happy I made the right choice to bring her there. Mum is very happy there, we speak daily over the phone if I can’t go to see her, the staff are excellent and they keep me updated on Mum's meds, her diet intake etc. Couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend it."

"Following 2 weeks of respite, Mum has decided to remain as a resident stating "I feel at home here and feel very comfortable". Staff are very welcoming and willing to answer any questions. My measure of a good care home is whether I feel confident leaving my loved one in their care at Paternoster House, I certainly have no worries at all."

"My first impression was exceptionally clean, welcoming staff, always with a smile on their faces. After 4 weeks my opinion has not changed. My wife's birthday was recently and I asked if it was possible to have a few friends come over to see her, they agreed and offered to put on a spread (with birthday cake) which the chef needs to be praised. The attentiveness of staff served and made sure all the guests including the children had food, with all this in mind this is why I can give the home a 5* rating and have peace of mind that my wife is being looked after better than I could provide at home."

My dad was in here for three years I had no complaints, at the moment my sister seems happy which I'm happy about. She was so unhappy in the hospitals she was in, so it's nice to see her smile in a long while."

"My wife has MND and has been a resident here since May 2022. All the staff we've met have been very friendly and have treated us with care, respect, dignity and understanding. My wife's care both personal and medical has been excellent. I was apprehensive about her going into a nursing home, however, she is receiving better care than I could give her at home. My one criticism would be that her room and its facilities need a bit of TLC or upgrading, the cleanliness of the room is not a problem and the housekeeping staff do a very good job."

"Paternoster looked after my father-in-law for a couple of weeks on respite. He was made to feel extremely welcomed and was treated respectfully. His care was really considerate, and he was well looked after. The food was very good, and attention to all his needs was very evident. He had a bad experience in a previous respite and was extremely worried about his stay, but was full of praise when I picked him up."

I’m very happy that I had this opportunity to stay at Paternoster House permanently because they look after you very well, and I feel very safe staying here.

You can see how much she cares about all her residents and staff 110% devoted. I am so glad my dad is in this care home I wouldn’t want him anywhere else, you know he is getting well looked after.

"On my last visit to my friend, I found that the activity staff made me feel very at ease through conversation. To reassure me that my friend's needs were being met and that she was being looked after at a high standard. The staff were very informative and knowledgeable on the care that was being given to my friend and I can only but praise them for their efforts as my friend was upset upon seeing me. The staff were professional and composed and reassured my friend that she was ok and receiving the best possible care that she needs. I hope if anything comes from this review that the staff receive the praise and recognition they deserve because they truly are an asset to the business and they are already doing a great job with caring for your residents!"

"My husband went into Paternoster in June 2020. It was an extremely difficult period emotionally even without Covid. Because of the pandemic, I couldn’t visit the home and had to rely on word of mouth, reviews, reports online. From day one I have been impressed with the care and dedication of all the staff, the respect given to both my husband and myself. I even had a call from the chef going through my husband’s (who is vegetarian) likes and dislikes. A special shout out to Parklands staff who couldn’t have done more for my husband when he came out of hospital extremely unwell in January. Their genuine care and dedication was and has always been second to none, The new manager has introduced Zoom calls for relatives providing a welcomed communication channel. Any concerns voiced from my experience have been followed up (waiting area for results of Covid tests before indoor visits etc). Looking forward to getting to know my husband’s Paternoster family more post-Covid."

"I came to visit my dad as he had recently moved from another care home to Paternoster, and the staff that greeted me at the front entrance and showed me to my dad's room were very welcoming and friendly. I couldn’t wish for better staff to be looking after my dad. The atmosphere in the home was very warm, caring and absolutely spotless. I also met the new manager, who I must say, was absolutely outstanding, so very helpful. I personally couldn’t ask for a better manager to be running this home. I will certainly be recommending this care home to friends and so on. Thank you so much to all staff and manager for making my dad comfortable and caring for his every need."

"I visited my mum recently and she was so happy to see me, I asked if she was happy and she said yes, which meant the world to me. The carers on Memory Lane are lovely and caring ensuring my mum has everything she needs. They treat her with dignity and respect. I received an Easter card from my mum, which the brilliant activities team arranged and sent, they are a brilliant bunch and had taken the time to take a picture of my mum for Easter and made it into an Easter card. There is now a new manager, who is really helpful and I just hope she stays, she is making time to listen and action our requests and seems so positive and enthusiastic. In her short time of being there, she already seems to be making a difference."

"I could not ask for better angels to be caring and looking after my mum. The nurses and activities team are amazing and nothing is too much for them to do. My mum having diabetes 2, the chefs have regulated her diet so is no longer having to take diabetic tablets and the staff regularly weigh her etc to keep a close eye on that particular condition. During lockdown not being able to visit was hard but always felt reassured she was well cared for and always involved in activities. I spoke to the new general manager after she recently took up the new post and again, felt so reassured and relieved. I really couldn’t highly recommend this particular care home highly enough. Thank you to all the angels that work there."

"Firstly, if you have a relative/friend in The Barchester Paternoster care home in Waltham Abbey, you will be pleasantly surprised by the caring, kindness and professionalism of the staff. On calling daily to speak to my father, I was treated with respect and got to speak to my father, every time. I have to mention the one person that struck me as one of the most professional and kindest people I have met, during my father's time in the care home, the manager. She went above and beyond on my visit to the home, to not only make me, as the visitor comfortable, but also the genuine care she had towards my father. I got to witness this first hand. She completely understood, the mental health impact, on not only the visitor, on seeing their loved one, but also the resident's mental health too. The manager seemed to have a built-in understanding of the consequence, this pandemic has had on us all. I could tell straight away, on meeting her, that the care for her residents was paramount."

"After 2 and a half months of my dad being in hospitals and a care home (assessment unit), eventually, he was put into Paternoster care home. He spent almost 6 weeks there on end of life care and it was the 1st time in months that he wasn't talking about coming home almost every day. I know he really liked it there and we were all really happy with the care that he received until the day he passed. Obviously, things have been different due to covid and not being able to visit but we were given the chance to see him in his last couple of days which we were really grateful for. All the staff were fantastic. All were very polite and helpful and we can not thank them enough for the amazing work that they do and the wonderful way they looked after my dad right up until the end. I would highly recommend this care home. They are great."

All the staff on Parklands and the activity team are extremely caring and treat Mum like their own family, which is a great comfort. They treat mum with care and dignity, meeting all of her needs and wants. The Home Manager is exactly what you would want from a Home Manager, caring, compassionate and takes time out of her day to check in with residents and their family members. Thank you all."

"The staff at Paternoster are caring, friendly and very professional. My Partner has been in the home for nearly 3 years now and is very settled and well cared for. The lockdown has been particularly hard for both of us but Paternoster has been wonderful and nothing has been too much trouble in making the window visits as nice as possible for everyone. Although I would normally visit every evening I have no worries that my partner is being well looked after during this difficult time. I would like to thank all the staff at Paternoster but in particular the staff on Memory Lane for all the care and hard work they provide every day for the residents to feel safe and well cared for."

My elderly mother has been supported in many ways to ensure that she is still able to visit my father, and whilst COVID has made visits challenging, my mother has been helped to understand the changes and also enabled to have time with my father which is important for both of them.

"So, I volunteer here with my PAT dog. Pets as therapy. I have had many of the best experiences of my life. I am 50 and my dog Senna is about 11. He was a rescue and I’ve had him since he was about 9 months old. He is the ideal PAT dog. When we arrived on the first day, the staff in the department for entertainment for the residents were so so warm and kind and so pure with their beautiful manner towards the residents, welcomed us knowing it would be another addition to their residents' wellbeing. They have genuinely been professional with all concerned and yet still so personal with all people we have had the pleasure of meeting in this care home. It lifts my spirits to visit here and know they genuinely care about everyone who crosses their path. All the carers, from kitchen to reception staff and up to the managers have all been nothing but warm and people with integrity. A beautiful network to be part of. I thank you all."

"My husband has dementia and he cannot walk. He has been at Paternoster for over 18 months. He is looked after very well, with kindness, dignity and his physical and medical needs are thoroughly provided for. The carers are always cheerful, friendly and professional. His bedroom and the living areas (lounge and dining room) are bright, clean, pleasant and well maintained. Because of all this, he settled in quickly and now seems content and happy most of the time. I visit frequently (roughly every other day for about 1 hour) and he greets me with pleasure, but is usually not at all anxious when I leave. I am very happy with my husband's care in Paternoster."

"The home has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. All the staff throughout the organisation are friendly and caring. The residents are treated as individuals and the staff are fully aware of their preferences and their personalities and will always try to ensure that all their interactions with the individual take their preferences into account. The staff will always try to inject humour into the residents' days to make the residents' days more pleasant."

"I am very pleased with the care my mother is given, although my other can be fiery sometimes but the cares have so much compassion they know how to treat this. I feel I have no complaints whatsoever."

"My husband has been in the dementia unit for about 6 months. He settled in well thanks to the kindness and care of the staff and on most days he is contented and in a good frame of mind. (Though sometimes a bit sleepy) he particularly enjoys music therapy sessions which happen once or twice a month and he likes listening to a male singer and to be involved in ball therapy (which has happened once so far.) He also likes activities round a table (picture bingo etc) He is still rather resistant to some aspects of personal care but I think this is improving."

"I have found Paternoster's carers to be very efficient and their kindness far outweighs what she received in the last place. I am more than happy she is being cared for here."
