"I couldn't wish for a better home. The care is excellent." Husband of a resident.
Thank you from relative I didn’t get the name of the young lady who I saw yesterday with my mum but I wanted to say a huge thank you for her kindness and patience. It was great to see mum and even though her cognition has been dialled down a little after the seizure, she looked great and has even put on a little bit of weight since I last saw her. Thank you for taking such great care of mum throughout all of this. She couldn’t be in better hands x
The most positive part of my placement was my warm welcome on my first day. Being the first community placement since I started my program, I had a negative feeling before I began this placement. However, I was happy with what happened at the Willow Lodge Nursing Home; the team members were lovely, personable, respectful, and hardworking. The management of the home never used any superiority over me or any other staff; they were so supportive and listened to any concerns that any staff may have. I enjoyed my day at Willow Nursing Home, and I wish to return there as a registered nurse for the bank shift or as a staff member. Zaniab - Student Nurse
