Walstead Place care home

"Moving a precious and loved parent into a nursing home is one of the most difficult things we have had to do but all the staff at Walstead Place have made our task easier.

Their patience and smiles have helped, they are your best asset at Walstead Place." - Jonathan G

"Brilliant staff who have a genuine care for patients. My grandmother had gone into hospital after living at home independently. We did not think she would be around for much longer, but under the great care and friendly atmosphere of Walstead she has made a full recovery. The staff go out of their way to make all their residents feel important and loved. My grandmother did not want to come to a home, but she now likes Walstead better than her old home!" - Rachele E

"The care home is in beautiful countryside and the building itself is very attractive, as are the residents' rooms. But, I recommend this care home particularly because of the carers themselves. My Mother has been resident for over 2 1/2 years and I have spent hours and hours visiting her there. The carers are dedicated, hardworking, humorous, patient, kind and caring people, absolutely marvellous. Whenever I leave her I know I don't have to worry about her wellbeing... carehomes.co.uk" - Marian N
