"My husband has been in the Dementia wing for three months. He has Parkinsonism but is rarely helped with drinks. He has a very infrequent shower and shaves. He has only been taken to one of the organised 'entertainments' in the whole three months, so has hardly any mental or physical stimulation. I have requested that we be taken to the dining room for lunch every day but this rarely happens so he rarely has a break from sitting in his room. He is bored and lonely."

"You are never sure when you choose a nursing home for your loved one what it would be like! All I can say is I have never had any doubts about his care and wellbeing. I have got nothing but praise and love for everyone who looked after my husband. I think they are exceptional, kind and very passionate about caring. I can't thank everyone enough. I love you all and I will miss you all. Thank you so much to you all love from me and my family"

"A really welcoming care home, excellent facilities, a comfortable well-furnished well run home. The staff all offer a high level of care and are very pleasant to speak to. My husband looks so much better after being at the Wingfield for just a week. I truthfully can find no fault. Thank you all."

"It has been very difficult not being able to see my mum on a daily basis like I could before the start of the pandemic. However, it has been very reassuring to know that she has well cared for and safety has been the prime focus from everybody in Wingfield. Now I can visit she looks well and happy, and if she's happy, I'm happy."

"My mother seems very happy at Memory Lane and I know she is thought very fondly of by the staff. She receives excellent care and I am confident she is well looked after. At times I have had concerns over staffing levels and the impact this could have on residents safety. I also feel like the decor/furnishings have no comparison to the other home, which is beautiful inside. Memory lane seems to have been forgotten when it comes to the "wow" factor and is really in need of a revamp of furnishings and decoration. Lastly, I can't praise the reception staff enough - Excellent."

"Very welcoming activity coordinator. Really appreciate what they did to the resident and always doing this with heart. Really appreciated it, hopefully, this will lead to an example to everyone, keep up the good work guys."

"Really pleased that 'in-room' visits have started again, as online and pod not quite the same. Dad seems well and well looked after and staff are always helpful. Fewer activities owing to the pandemic situation, probably lead to less stimulating environment, but no doubt there will probably be more now that restrictions are easing."

"The very welcoming activities organiser has made it possible for me to make contact with my partner via Skype on a very regular basis. She assists him, and encourages him with care and humour, even joining in with our singing sessions. She has certainly helped to make this a precious means of contact for us."

"My review is given at a difficult time, during the pandemic of Covid-19. The staff are very helpful if they have been made aware of the situation. The entertainment staff work so hard to keep the residents happy during this lockdown period. Entertainment is great at normal times. Food had been better before the pandemic struck; since the kitchen has been made aware that everyone pays their own rates, things have got better. I believe the night staff are very caring. I believe the one big problem is that when people ring for help, staff (for whatever reason) make them wait a long time."

"The staff are always ready to please, they are friendly, knowledgeable, happy and caring. The home itself is very clean and kept up well. We are very confident that our aunt is well looked after and in a homely place."

"The staff are always friendly and kind through this very difficult time, they have always tried to answer any questions we have had. Dad is very happy although he does not actively take part in the activities (even though they try to encourage him)."

"I came to the care home following a fall and admittance with a fractured hip. From the first few days, I felt really secure with all the excellent staff. I think that I will be here for some while yet. I am happy to be here as I know everybody cares."

"In general, the care is good, but I would like to enjoy at least one meal per day. Because of the present restrictions, I was taken outside for two occasions when visitors came that is the only time in two and a half years I've not been in the garden."

"The care my mother received from the care staff in her final days was amazing. They were so caring and treated her with dignity and respect at all times. As far as we are concerned she died in her home surrounded by her friends and family. We would like to acknowledge al the care staff for their kindness and they all deserve "gold stars". Thank you."

"My mum has lived at Trowbridge Memory Lane unit since November last year. As expected, she found it very difficult to begin with, but now appears much more accepting of the situation. I am very happy with the way she is treated with dignity and care. Thank you."

"This is my 2nd experience of a care home and the experience at the Wingfield couldn’t be more different than last time. It is a big responsibility finding a home for someone. And you worry that the experience you receive when visiting for the first time won’t be the same when the resident moves in. I can honestly say that we were welcomed as family by the General Manager from the off and this experience hasn’t changed in the 7 months my friend had been resident there. There isn’t a high staff turn over so you see the same people each time and care is consistent. The facilities are just like home and my friend was helped to lay out his room the way he wanted. He is so comfortable and at home there and all of his needs are met with kindness and consideration. This is a difficult time for us, as we have had to discuss palliative care, but the Wingfield have been brilliant, caring but matter of fact, prepared to answer all of our questions and ready to act when needed. Excellent!"

"My mother was only at The Wingfield Care Home for two days before passing away. The care and support we both received, especially the two senior nurses on duty during the day and overnight, was incredible. My mother was treated with the utmost respect and dignity during her last few days."

"My Dad has been in The Wingfield for 2 yrs now. During that time, he has not always been the politest when having personal care, but the staff have always treated him with care and respect and Dad is very chilled and appears happy. The care team do an amazing job in difficult circumstances. We were originally told this was Dad's home so we should treat it the same, and we are definitely made to feel relaxed and welcomed when we visit. The care given to my elderly mum when visiting is fantastic too."

"I am writing just to say how happy I am with the care home (above) where my mother is. Right from her first day and there after, how well my mother family and friends are treated. Very warm, happy an clean nothing is too much trouble. I'm sure mother thinks she is the Queen sometimes and always smiling, mother might not be able to talk anymore, but I can tell she is happy and that makes me happy. Even with the recent changes the home is running smoothly and efficiently. A big thank your from her daughter."

"My elderly mother came to The Lodge in Wingfield in January 2015 at almost 100 years old. She is currently in Memory Lane and is always well looked after. There are always enough staff around to help and the family are more than pleased with her care."

"The staff at Wingfield work as a united team to deliver first rate consistent care of an extremely high standard. Staff are always positive, happy and always on hand to help and assist. We have been totally happy with the care given over the last 5 years."

"The lack of staff numbers means that although staff try their hardest, they are obviously overloaded and seem to get little support from management. Fairly recently the Activities Team left and have not been sufficiently replaced, meaning that residents are dependent on relatives for any stimulation."

"My mum has been in Wingfield Care Home since 2016. When mum moved in all was excellent. Since February 2017 staff have been cut and standards have fallen. All the staff are excellent in their various areas of care but that there are not enough staff to do all that needs doing. The staff are able to do the basic care but struggle to go over and above. They are all amazing but there needs to be more staff."

"My main observation generally is a chronic lack of staff at times. Existing staff work hard and are conscientious but invariably they seem extremely stressed. There seems to be a lack of some basic equipment eg despite promises of more stand aids, there is only one piece of equipment for three floors. There is an aura of discontent bordering on alarm permeating the building."

Gwynne E

"The Wingfield has been troubled over the last couple of years since the last permanent manager left. This needs to be addressed urgently because it is extremely tough and hard on the staff to work under so much stress. It is also worrying for those of us with a parent in their care. My Mum has been here for 8 years and things have changed a lot."

"The Wingfield staff (in every capacity) treated Dad with the utmost dignity and compassion, which was a huge comfort to his family. A big part of Dad's day were his meal times, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The food is amazing! We shared a lovely Christmas with him, where the team made us feel welcome, always going the extra mile, as Dad would say. I can't thank you enough."

"The Lodge at Wingfield Care Home is a very good nursing home and I highly recommend it. My mother has been there for 3 years and on the whole, we have been very happy with her residency there. Most of the staff we see on a day to day basis; carers, nurses, hostesses, cleaners and activity staff are extremely helpful, willing and friendly and there is a lovely community feel amongst everyone. The management hasn't been consistent in the last year and although unsettling at the time, these issues are being resolved. Consistency of care is really important to my mother and this home delivers in this area. The staff are loyal and many have worked there for years."
