Get directionsI've visited my aunt on a number of occasions during the past few months and I've been so happy knowing that she is in good hands. The staff are lovely and during the Christmas period, they made a lovely effort to make the place festive and put on little events. My aunt seems very happy there and she has said it's a 5 star experience, therefore I can only recommend to others.
Business response:
We are delighted to hear that you are able to have such lovely visits with your aunt whilst she is with us. Thank you for your kind review.
We needed somewhere for Mum to stay whilst we went on a holiday that wasn't suitable for her abilities. From the first contact to the final goodbye all the staff were kind, welcoming, enthusiastic and caring of Mum. Her birthday was celebrated in style and we were able to celebrate a family occasion with her in their special dining room before we went away. Mum regularly refers to her 'hotel stay' in the most loving of terms. Thoroughly recommend

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We were so happy to be able to look after your mum whilst you were able to enjoy such a great holiday. We cannot wait to have her back.
Wonderful surroundings, bedrooms large and are well appointed, decor bright and modern, and general eating and lounge areas welcoming and easy to manoeuvre if you have disabilities. The staff caring and friendly, but not always available. Personal care sometimes lacking and communication about what is needed for your loved one sadly lacking (shaving). Good range of activities and hobbies if desired.

Thank you for your kind review. We really do appreciate your comments and continue to grow and improve daily, to make Selwood the very best care home it can be for our residents.
My husband has been a resident for three periods of respite and is now a permanent resident at Selwood House. The staff are professional, caring, and understanding. The home has a peaceful atmosphere where the residents are given individual care and attention.

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are so happy you love Selwood as much as we do.
Selwood is an incredible care home, we looked in several areas close to where Mum lived and where we live but nothing quite fitted Mum's needs, requirements, and expectations. Since August Mum has become very settled and no longer is constantly wanting to go home. The Selwood staff from the admin to the carer's have been truly fantastic and are amazing with my mum. I would highly recommend Selwood to anyone.

We are so thrilled to hear such a lovely review. Your mum really is a very special part of the Selwood Family. Thank you very much. Team Selwood.
I have visited a friend at Selwood several times now and it's obvious that she is very well looked after . It's a beautiful home and the staff are so friendly and helpful . She enjoys all the activity days whether they are at the home or out and about . I will definitely be recommending Selwood in the future
Absolute gem of a find. Mother is happy, content and we'll cared for, all her needs have been met. All the staff seem very friendly and helpful. Although mother does not join in activities she hears them going on in the background and it's uplifting for her. So pleased we can leave mother in safe hands.
The most important thing is that my wife (with dementia) has settled in well, is content, as happy as can be hoped for, and is well looked after. Selwood is modern, well laid-out, clean, food appears good. The staff are welcoming, caring, and interested in the residents. A possible thing that could be improved is the activities for dementia residents - an additional activities coordinator would be beneficial. It's more expensive than some, but I guess you get what you pay for. Overall, I'm very happy with Selwood.
We had been looking for a suitable home for respite and possible long-term care for my mother following some recent health issues. She has been a resident there for four weeks now, and we now expect her to remain there indefinitely. Selwood is truly wonderful - I am always truly bowled over each time I visit. The standards of accommodation, food, care and general vibe to the place are all first class - I always leave with a smile on my face. I wanted to find somewhere really nice for my mum to recover and settle into a new r... read more
