Report
My mum has lived happily at Alverstoke House for the last couple of years. The staff are professional and kind. They have spent time getting to know her likes and dislikes, her capabilities, her medical and emotional needs as well as getting to know her as a person. She is treated with dignity and humour.
Mum especially enjoys the various activities on offer, getting involved with most things. She also likes the food and the opportunity to go out into the garden or sit by the pond. As a relative, I feel happy in the knowledge that my mum is happy, safe and receiving good care. In normal times

I dont know what to say. For the most part the home was amazing: the manager listened to what I said, they adapted to suit my mum's needs, the food was really tasty, the staff kept bringing her drinks, ect. However the night staff weren't nearly as good and they were rough with her several times when it came to changing her or taking her to the toilet, despite her begging them to stop pulling on her or being so violent. Apparently one of them went to hit her once which I can honestly believe with how often the night carers neglected her. My mum says there were four night staff that were neglectful
