My aunt was only resident for three weeks, having moved from another nursing home. The atmosphere at Blenheim House is calm and caring. The staff are welcoming and my aunt was treated with care and compassion as were we. Her end of life was managed as we hoped and she died peacefully with a staff member in attendance.

The staff are coping with a very difficult job to the best of their ability.

My mother began at Blenheim House in August 2014. She has settled in remarkably well as a result of the excellent care she has experienced and combined with the wonderful environment she finds herself in. She has been able to walk in the garden which is such a fundamental part of her life. She enjoys a beautiful room and good food. The staff are exceptional always giving as much time as possible to her needs. She is a fiercely independent woman and they have recognised that and showed it whenever possible.

Blenheim House and staff would have been given excellent in almost every category bar for one or two small issues. i.e laundry care, personal belongings going astray from the laundry, not all the time but on the odd occasion. The odd request of furniture repair takes a long time to action on occasions, but staff always seem flat out so it's understandable. The kindness of staff is second to none, the rooms are lovely, sometimes could be cleaner in the corners! Meals more suitable to those with great teeth/dentures (softer ve... read more

My husband was only 45 when diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2010. Blenheim House took care of him for the last weeks of his life and I cannot fault them for the love and support they gave to both my husband and myself. The staff genuinely care. They love the work they do and were all visibly upset by his passing. Although my husband was living in Clover Meadows, the floor predominantly for Alzheimer's residents, the staff did everything possible to give him 24 hour care and adjust to his needs and keep him safe. You cannot ... read more

Please do not be taken in by the free coffee, cakes, nice garden and the facilities on offer at this care home. The thing that was totally lacking during my wife's respite care was high quality care. My wife previously had stayed in two care homes which charged a lot less than Blenheim and the quality of care was very high, be careful and do loads of research.

My father-in-law would often be left unclean, unwashed and in old clothes. They didn't accommodate to his personal needs and he was often left with no one to talk to. There were a few incidences where staff shouted and upset my father-in-law. They lost his false teeth, TV remote, clothes, and other things. When we questioned the staff about him they were rude, unaccommodating and acted as though all the issues either weren't a problem or as though it wasn't their fault. They shrunk his designer jumper and when questioned abo... read more
