"Thankfully things are improving, as the standard of the home went downhill this year and I was considering moving my husband to another home. Since we have had a new manager and entertainments manager, things have started to improve. The staff work so hard and I appreciate the care that they give to my husband who is so dependent on them for all his needs."

"Choosing a care home is such an emotive matter particularly when this choice is so price driven. We would all want the best for our parent when they can no longer make their own choices and therefore the path to finding the most appropriate place is fraught with difficult decisions and finally once that choice has been made you then entrust your vulnerable loved one to the care of, to begin with, total strangers. Mount Tryon and it's staff gave me and my sister utter peace of mind throughout our mother's ten months there. There are a number of staff I would like to single out for their commitment beyond the call of duty and thank the then general manager for helping us through what were difficult times as our mother's dementia worsened. Wherever you choose, although the facilities and trappings may look good at the end of the day it's the staff and number of staff that make a place safe and comforting. Huge thanks to all at Mount Tryon. Our mother died there, we were with her at the time as were two very lovely members of staff which gave us great comfort and support at such a sad time."

"Change of management (two senior members of staff) resigned in June, 2015. The positions were covered by an "Acting Manager" and temporary Senior Nurse. The following months were very disappointing with many Carers leaving and a lot of Agency staff in situ to cover these vacancies. Agency staff did not know the routines of the residents, who had to live with a lot of changing faces. This did not help with those who are already suffering from confusion. A new Manager was appointed in November but Carers still continue to leave. This is worrying. Mount Tryon is a lovely building with a garden and I, personally, have been happy with my mother's placement there. She has been at the home for four years. We need the full complement of staff and to stem the tide of those who are leaving."

"Kind and caring staff well run and clean. The staff take time and care for my sister's health problems really well. The home is in the Barchester group, which means there is management cover, training and attention if things go were to go wrong."

"My father has been in Mount Tryon for 5 years now and he has always been treated extremely well by the staff in every way. His dignity has always been taken into consideration and all the staff have been kind and understanding. They always make sure he is clean and he had clean clothes every day. In the past few months dad has needed assistance with eating and there is always someone to assist him. Every need is met with a friendly face."

"I was very impressed by the atmosphere in the home as I arrived. All staff were very welcoming and they were so kind and gentle to my cousin who neede all care. When she was being fed they took time to see she was enjoying it and had time to swallow. Her personal care was excellent, she was well presented and her hair was done which impressed me. The residents seemed very happy and content and the staff always had a cheery word with them. The food was very appetising. Decor very good. Plenty of places to sit and plenty of light. If I had to go into a home I would have no worries about being in Mount Tryon."

"Very pleased with the way my Mother was cared for. Only sorry that I had not put her into a care home earlier. Her previous home had closed down, so she only had six weeks in this home."

"Mount Tryon is a clean, well-presented home. My relatives comment on the positive atmosphere which greets visitors on arrival. The staff are caring, knowledgeable and courteous. They add a level of support to the relatives of residents as they know their clients well. My mother has been treated with dignity throughout her stay here and this excellent level of care is evident throughout the home. My hope is that now that management has stabilised, the home will receive recognition for the efforts it has made to provide this excellent service."

"My mother has been in Mount Tryon for thirteen years and she has been happy there all the time. It is professionally run and the staff are kind. It is a purpose-built care home and I think that this is an advantage - it is spotlessly clean and well furnished. My mother enjoys the food and feels part of a caring family - she has never complained of isolation or loneliness. I have regular meetings with senior staff about her health and although I do not live locally, they keep me very well informed of any issues affecting her. My mother is an active participant in the excellent event's programme. We both feel lucky that she is in Mount Tryon."

"I have found Mount Tryon to be very good to my partner. The staff are very kind and patient, also the cooks and kitchen staff. The room is very pleasant and also in the dining room. The cleaning and laundry staff are also helpful and very polite. Many thanks also to management, reception and office staff."

"Having viewed several care homes in the area, Mount Tryon stood out as an obvious choice. The manager and staff are friendly and very caring. My mother has a lovely room overlooking the garden where she can watch the birds on the feeder outside the window. We took in a television and within 10 mins it was PAT tested (very impressive). She now has a lovely chair which she is moved around in and last weekend she was taken into the garden to enjoy the sunshine. Mount Tryon is a very good care home and our family are very impressed by the care and service that our mum and family receive."

"Mount Tryon look after my relative very well. The care staff treat her as an individual. The nursing staff are kind but professional. The manager has done an excellent job in turning around a difficult situation that she inherited last year. The home is well maintained, clean and comfortable. We are kept well informed of any problems over my relatives health and well-being."

"Visited mum on a Monday morning and she was enjoying a 'Rock and Roll' sing along in the living room. Afterwards, she sat in her sunny room where she slept peacefully but was still aware of our presence. She reacted to familiar staff who checked on her by opening her eyes. She was particularly stimulated by the lively activities coordinator in the yellow shirt. The attentive and caring staff made us reassured mum was well looked after."

"The whole experience was excellent. Wonderful caring people made the last days of my father in law's life peaceful and comfortable. We were there at all times of day and evening and saw how others were treated which was equally caring and excellent."

"Mount Tryon Care Home is very welcoming, friendly home with caring, cheerful staff who look after their residents with kindness and respect. My sister feels completely safe, comfortable and exceptionally well looked after. She has fun with all the staff who make time to chat and share a joke with her. There are lots of good activities offered each week as well as specific events tailored towards individual needs."

"Mount Tyron is a wonderful place. The warm welcome you receive when visiting is so reassuring. The staff are truly amazing, so caring, cheerful, respectful and professional. Everybody knows and treats the residents with dignity. The choices on the menu are fantastic and the food looks superb The lounge, dining room and bedrooms are clean and well kept and nowhere has that 'care home' smell! The beautiful gardens are a bonus. I cannot fault Mount Tyron. Deciding that a loved one cannot remain at home is a very hard and emotional decision and every one of the staff I have met at Mount Tyron have been understanding and supportive. Thank you all for looking after all of us so well."

"The service that has been given to my mother at Mount Tryon has been absolutely fantastic. Management and care staff have gone above and beyond to make mum as comfortable as possible for her. I could not have placed Mum anywhere better and she has settled into Mount Tryon lovely and is so happy to receive the attention she so rightly deserves. Thank you to everyone there."

"My wife has been in Mount Tryon for 4 months now and I must say she has always had very good treatment from staff and nurses. When she arrived she was so ill she needed one-to-one care 24 hours. She now can walk again and is on solid food again. Whilst she will always have Alzheimer's/Dementia she is very happy and I can see her every day and I can relax at home knowing she is well looked after. The whole complex is very well looked after too."

"As far as we could tell when visiting, everything was satisfactory. The one bad experience we had was when sitting with the resident during the final hours (6pm-11pm). The noise and activity in the corridor was excessive. Staff were shouting at each other and noise levels were unacceptable for residents trying to sleep, or in our case, actually dying."

"My mother has been cared for extremely well throughout the 18 months she has been in Mount Tryon Care Home. The carers are responsive to her needs as a vascular dementia sufferer and my mother is treated with dignity at all times. The care home is a clean, airy and cheery environment. It is a pleasure to be a visitor here and the friendliness of all the staff makes my visits all the more happy."

"From the moment I entered into this care home I have received excellent attention for my stroke problem. The standard of decor, food, laundry and care and attention has been first class. Your physio, management and activities teams have treated me so well that I am quickly being restored to my peak fitness. I have ensured my partner of 98 years old will be taken in as a 'long term' patient."

"I have been visiting Mount Tryon weekly for the past 9 months. In this time I have had the opportunity to get to know the staff and managers. I can honestly say all whom I have met have been kind, polite and always willing to answer questions or give help if needed. I've been able to observe the nurses and carers working with the residents. They do a great job! They are patient and compassionate and you can see they take pride in their work. When some challenges came up with the resident I visit, I went to have a chat with the manager. She was very welcoming, open to listening and gave me all the time I needed. She was very committed and eager to find solutions for my resident to ensure she receives the highest quality of care. The next day an action plan was in place and the unit nurse was taking steps to implement it. The new plan is working well and my resident is much happier. Many thanks to all the staff and managers!"

"My mother spent the last three weeks of her life at Mount Tryon having been admitted at very short notice. She could not have been treated with greater care and respect by all the management and staff during this time. I would highly recommend Mount Tryon to anyone looking for a home for an elderly relative needing care or nursing."

"Our elderly, gentleman, friend had a traumatic few months having suffered falls and stays in respite homes and hospital before taking a place at Mount Tryon at the start of the year. It didn't take long for him to relax and finally feel settled. May I say that Mount Tryon is very well managed and the staff are first class. Everything is spotless and visitors are made very welcome from reception to the care team to the manager. I have nothing but praise and Barchester Group should be proud of this team. Thank you for your support and care of our friend."

"I have found the management team and every member of staff to be consistently outstanding in delivering highly professional care services to my father over the past four months. Individual expressions of kindness and compassion have gone well beyond the call of duty and make Mount Tryon a safe, secure and happy place to live. Special thanks go to the general manager in delivering these very high standards."

"A very friendly welcome and a lovely, clean environment. Being able to make a cup of tea in the visitor's lounge just adds that homely comfort. A programme of activities and sensory stimulation is an added bonus. Always someone on hand for a quick update as and when required, highly recommend."

"My aunt recently had a respite stay at Mount Tryon to provide some relief for a struggling family at home. We were very wary of the experience but were supported the whole time. My aunt had a wonderful time, she said she had a fabulous holiday. The staff were so kind and caring. My aunt loved the garden, the company and the activities. We have the next stay booked. Thank you to the whole team."

"My Mum is being so well looked after at Mount Tryon, I was really apprehensive about admitting her into a care home but, at Mount Tryon all my worries have been eased. The staff are lovely and, so caring and considerate. There are always activities and entertainment for the care home residents. Her mobility and dietary needs are well catered for too and, she has taken up a few new hobbies and, made friends with both residents and staff members. My mum is really happy at Mount Tryon."

"Looking for respite for my wife and after a number of options were considered we settled on Mount Tryon, after visiting on an Open Day. As it was the first occasion respite was tried our daughters and I were pleasantly surprised at how quickly she settled. The staff, from the Manager downwards, could not have been more helpful and caring. The room she had was spacious with ensuite facilities. On collecting my wife after two weeks respite all the staff present came to wish her goodbye with hugs etc which my wife responded to. We would have no hesitation in using Mount Tryon again in the future for further respite."

"We moved my aunt from a care home in Newton Abbot where she had really struggled to settle. Barchester Mount Tryon Care Home was a complete eye-opener. The day we went to look around one of the staff was dancing in the corridor with one of the residents. Everything we'd seen prior to that had impressed but that was the star on top of the Christmas tree! Since she's been there she has been so much happier, takes part in the activities and chats with the staff and other residents. She is now the aunt I remember. On her birthday the chef made a beautiful cake for her and made a Gluten Free one too as I have coeliac disease and to use her words 'as it wouldn't be fair for me to watch everyone tucking into cake whilst I sat back and watched.' Her room had been decorated whilst she slept and they all sang Happy Birthday to her when she woke. Thank you to everyone at Mount Tryon for the care and sensitivity they have shown both my aunt and the rest of my family at a very difficult time. You are all stars!"

"We recently used Mount Tryon for an emergency respite for my mum. We were shown around the same day we called. Mum was assessed the next day by the manager and we managed to get Mum in the home the next day. Mum was welcomed and settled into the home quickly. The staff were amazing, the chef, reception and activities were all so kind. We have managed to extend Mum's stay and can’t be more happy."

A particular staff member was very helpful in providing us with a meal so we could sit at the table with my father-in-law. Thank you to the particular member of staff and the kitchen cook."

"My wife had a respite stay of nine weeks before becoming a permanent resident. I had been a 24/7 carer for nearly four years and naturally had anxieties that she was no longer at her home. I need not have. Now I can go about my daily business knowing that she is safe and secure, her mental and physical condition carefully monitored and a kind, friendly and sympathetic staff from the manager down keeping a watchful eye on her. It has been a huge relief to me that, in my view, Mount Tryon really does know what it is doing. Friends who have visited have commented on how nice, clean and comfortable it is and are impressed by the standard of food and the entertainment and activities laid on. I also appreciate the welcome I am given on visits. Thank you, Mount Tryon."

"Both my parents have been service users. The home is welcoming, light, air and smells lovely as you walk in. The staff are superb, great communication with both service users and relatives. There was a medical emergency which was dealt with in a very professional and reassuring manner by the staff. As a retired nurse, I've been impressed by what I've seen and would recommend this home."
