Reviews for Overslade House Care Home

"My father came to Barchester Overslade House Care Home to recover from a fall, with a view of going home. However, he enjoyed his stay so much he decided to become a resident. All of his children were happy with his decision knowing he would be safe and well cared for. The consideration to family members and others was excellent, with no restriction on visiting times. Plenty to drink/eat. Friendly staff. Fantastic!"

"My mum came to Barchester Overslade House Care Home - my home of choice - from an atrocious social services placement. Mum arrived malnourished and broken in spirit. By day 2 in Overslade, she was engaging, happier, well cared for and safe. 4 weeks in, and she is really happy and settled, she enjoys the food, loves the staff and even joins in with activities - all a remarkable change and due to the staff in the home and how lovely the surroundings are. Thank you to the managers and the lovely carers, you have transformed my mum."

"Barchester Overslade has been an excellent home for our mum. She is very well cared for and most of the staff offer lots of care and attention. We viewed many homes before selecting Barchester Overslade for our mum and this was by far the most appropriate and professional. Nothing is too much trouble and my mum and our family are very well looked after."

"I transferred to Overslade from hospital following surgery. Welcomed by management and staff. The care home is managed and run to the highest standards. I stayed for 2 1/2 weeks - anxious to return to my own home as soon as possible (I live in a superb retirement village). I value my independence."

Always make visitors comfortable as well the residents. I can talk to anyone about his care or any worries. 100% recommend this home for all they do for everyone. The cafe is a god send for us relatives to. Amazing quality. Thank you everyone. xx"

"The warm welcome and full understanding my Brother and I received when we went to "check out" Overslade for our Dad who was being transferred directly from Hospital was a sign of things to come. The standards attained by Nurses, Carers, Chefs, Cleaners, Maintenance, the list goes on, can only be described as First Class led by a Management Team who obviously believe in leading by example. Despite the lovely menus, Dad doesn't have much of an appetite at the moment but Carers and Catering Staff do all they can to tempt him with offers to prepare "what do you fancy?" Mobility is a problem and whilst for the most part, he prefers his own company, now and again he fancies a change, especially to sit in the beautiful garden. Help is always on hand to enable his little trips. Our family cannot speak too highly of Overslade and its Staff. The expert, understanding, patient, kind and loving care given and shown to Dad enables us to sleep nights knowing he is safe and so very well cared for."

"We had to move Dad into Overslade House in an emergency when Mum was taken ill. I've got to say from the first day, everyone at the home took great care of Dad. All the staff and management are lovely, nothing is too much trouble for them. If you do have any issues with anything, you just have to speak to a member of staff and it gets resolved. All our family are pleased that Dad is happy and settled here. 'Keep up the good work.'"

"Warmly welcomed by the manager of Overslade House; I was taken through the beautiful reception area to my comfortable and very tasteful room. I had to pinch myself! My on-going care here has been ‘top notch’. The nurses dispense kindness and understanding along with my medication; the reassuring and kind care assistants provide constant help and support in all situations; the staff who maintain high standards of cleanliness do so with a smile and a cheery word; the activity organisers are caring, kind and encouraging and the chef and her team prepare a wide variety of delicious meals from a very varied menu. The first class manager and her team are warm and caring, as they maintain Gold Standard care - yet they always have time for a word of encouragement or a humorous chat. I have been so blessed by the whole ethos of Overslade House and by the commitment of all the staff who provide such wonderful around the clock care."
