Reviews for Paternoster House Care Home

We done Easter bunny hunt with Paternoster house care home. We went to visit this care home for collecting our price. I have to say that this is very lovely place to be. Everyone who we talked to was absolutely fantastic. They make us feel welcome. Definitely we will take part in future. Thank you again for this lovely event.

This is an excellent nursing home. My father was here for 9 months until his recent death, just like his own father was in 1993! The staff are excellent and their dedication to the patients is both obvious and genuine. Just as important is their sincere support of close relatives often who are quite fragile. As a purpose built facility its feel spacious and well maintained.

"I visit my friend each month and always ask her if she is okay and happy here - always replied yes. The team here are wonderful. The lounges both lovely and we enjoy doing the puzzles here. Thank you for caring for my friend."

Food menu is carried and sufficient. One to one care has been very good. Garden area could be improved. Overall a good experience had by my father."

"Once again very happy with the care Mum received whilst we were away. All staff are so friendly and welcoming. The home is clean and very well laid out. Mum was encouraged to participated in activities. When she came home, she settled back very quickly, I will be using Paternoster house again, many thanks."

"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."

"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."

"My sister come here two weeks ago and I'm so happy with all the care of the staff, they all seem so caring. I only live a few minutes away so I can visit her more a less every day. 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 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."

"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."

"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."

"Driving into the premises I noticed how neat it was, plenty of parking space. We were greeted at reception and shown the way to a lovely room. Good aspects and light. Overall, everywhere was neat, clean and tidy and had a good atmosphere. The staff were above and beyond, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We both thoroughly enjoyed the birthday party. Compliments to all."

"Mum stayed for respite care for the second time, the whole ambience of Barchester Paternoster House Care Home is friendly and welcoming. Purpose-built, it has a nice layout. Activities and entertainment are arranged. Mum is booked in for further respite care and I'm confident the care she will receive will be as thoughtful and caring as the last. Many thanks."

"My dad has only been at the home a short time but the friendly staff and their sweet nature has not gone unnoticed. They're kind and understanding of his illness and his other long-term issues have been outstanding. The colour has been put back in his cheeks and his health has been nursed back to where it should have been. I feel so much more comfortable now to know he is in the safest hands he can be."

"The staff at Paternoster are always attentive to the resident's needs. I see this whenever I visit. The decor within the building is very nice and gives a real sense of home. I have seen on numerous occasions where the residents engage with smaller animals etc. which brings so much pleasure to those who reside at Paternoster. The residents are encouraged to get involved with activities and they do. The management is very friendly and helpful. Always a pleasure when visiting."

"I found all the staff with whom I came in contact to be very kind, caring, thoughtful, and helpful. Unfortunately for most of my stay, I had very little appetite after my operation and was unable to make the most of a very varied and interesting-looking menu. The various facilities e.g sitting room were comfortable and attractive and impressed my visitors. Thank you to all the staff for always making sure my stay was as comfortable as possible and being so helpful."

"My mother has been a resident for six weeks. My immediate first impression was how beautifully Barchester Paternoster House Care Home was decorated and how tastefully the rooms are furnished. I then met with the staff and was aware, at once, how friendly, caring and concerned they would be for the welfare of my mum. Since living here, I can see the effort made to include Mum into the social activities and the huge commitment by social staff to ensure residents are entertained with a good variety of things to see and do. It is a pleasure to visit and be encouraged to share experiences and events with our treasured mum. I have every confidence in the care of Paternoster."

"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. Thank you all so much for everything that you do."

"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."

"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 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."
