Bowes House Care Home - Care UK

My Mother came to Bowes House at a point where she was extremely distressed, and I could no longer provide the support she needed. It was during the Covid lockdown, so she had to self-isolate upon entry, and for the first few weeks she still seemed very anxious, but then she became familiar with the place and the people, staff and residents, and her mood changed and she was back to her normal cheerful self again. Unfortunately she passed away four weeks after that, but at least I have the comfort in knowing that she moved into the best place, and that she enjoyed her final month. From my perspective the staff were always approachable and helpful, and they always seemed genuinely interested in my Mother as a person.

My 89 and a half year old Dad was taken to Bowes just over a week ago after a fairly traumatic spell in hospital, starting on Christmas Eve. He was depressed and was beginning to feel like giving up. He is now starting to think in a far more positive way about being able to come home. The staff are efficient and friendly, according to Dad the food is 'out of this world' , which kind of put's the pressure on me for when he does come home. I am immensely impressed that our family dog's are welcome and I witnessed the joy that the visiting and 'homed' small pet's brought to patient's. Dad isn't home yet, but I doubt there could have been a better place for him to be sent to, to get his strength back, all the 'people' at Bowes should be proud. It's now getting to the end of February, my Dad is still in Bowes, we have had some upsetting new's, but his care is still excellent, he's looking forward to coming home, maybe in the next couple of week's, but we don't know for how long. Every person I have met in Bowes House are lovely, caring people. As a family, we couldn't ask for better care for my father and the kid's grandfather.
