Devoted Keynsham care home team celebrate a 'perfect ten'

The delighted team at Meryton Place Care Home, Bath Road, were given the highest possible score, 10, on www.carehome.co.uk, where genuine reviews can only be left by those closely connected with the home, including residents.

The home offers residential, dementia, and nursing care and is located between Bath and Bristol.

Home Manager Natalie James said: "We are delighted to receive this incredibly positive feedback and it's a huge credit to everyone at Meryton Place, our team, our residents, families and friends.

"Thank you to everyone who contributed to the score – we feel on top of the world. It is a privilege to work in the care sector, and it's lovely to be recognised for our work."

On the site, one family member said: "Congratulations Meryton Place Care Home, you have taken care homes to a whole new level.

"The homemakers provide an exceptionally high standard of care and support. Everyone is very attentive to individual needs and very person-centred - nothing is too much trouble.

"Residents are treated with respect and dignity."

Also on the site, a daughter of a late resident said: "Mum was cared for by all the staff at Meryton with immense kindness and dignity.

"Her medical needs were managed very competently, and Mum was happy to find new friends and try new activities when she was well enough to take part. Thank you to everyone who helped Mum live the best life she could in the circumstances."

Another wrote: "I have visited many local care homes over the last 30 years, but the welcome at Merton Place is exceptional.

"We have only visited our friend twice, but each time, we were immediately offered coffee and cake, and both were delicious!"
