Get directionsMy 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.
Business response:
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
My husband has been a Dementia/Parkinson's resident for approximately 16 weeks. He settled quite well and at the moment seems quite happy. The staff are all so lovely and the care given is very good. The food is nice, but I think a bit more plain cooking would be beneficial, especially for the older generation. Sometimes the food is on top of other food, perhaps if it was put on the plate so the resident could see what it is might be better. I can only speak for my hubby, he would like to see what he is eating. It's only on ... read more
From arrival the reception area is very welcoming, the rooms are comfortably equipped, and overall the facilities are more than adequate, including a Spar and hairdresser, in fact, all fittings, and furnishings throughout are in excellent condition. More importantly, the staff are all friendly and helpful and more than capable. Couldn't wish for a more reassuring and professional home for my loved one. Kind regards.
The staff are extremely helpful and diligent to my Father's needs. They are very patient and professional when dealing with him and also my elderly Mother when I bring her to visit Dad. The room is always very clean and my Dad whilst suffering from dementia does say that when a member of staff comes into the room they are very nice. A very good care home and I know they will look after Dad. It gives Mum and I peace of mind.
