What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Winchcombe Place care home.

I would like to say a massive thank you for sorting that appointment out for me - I was so glad to see my Auntie June. The staff who brought her into the pod room to see me were lovely. Once again thank you so much.

Relative of resident, April 2021

My mother celebrated her 90th birthday yesterday with the staff and life team at Winchcombe Place. Not being able to visit was terribly difficult for all her family so to receive such lovely photos of my mother looking at her cards and gift really meant the world to us all. It gives us huge peace of mind to know that my mother has such wonderful and caring people looking after her.

Relative of resident, April 2020

I would like to thank the entire team you have there from carers, to kitchen, to maintenance, to cleaning, to laundry, to reception teams for looking after my mum. I know you are doing the very best you can for every resident - words cannot express my gratitude to you all.

Relative of resident, April 2020

My sister and I would like to extend our heart-felt thanks to you all for the efforts you are making on behalf of our mother and all residents.

Relative of resident, April 2020

They always speak to her by using name; when she isn’t confused she can tell you so and so said this, I like that they don’t just talk over her.

Ms K A, Relative of a resident, November 2019
