Perry Tree Centre

My mom has been a resident at the Perry Tree Centre for over two and a half years.
She has been so well looked after during this time. But the Manager & his team should be particularly commended during this Covid 19 Pandemic period of time, for keeping ALL of the residents safe from the virus. Through what has been an unprecedented, very difficult time. Their hard work & professionalism has meant that our Mom is well & safe, which is a great relief for us. ????
SO WELL DONE ???????????????????????? AND THANK YOU !!
We really appreciate all that you do for mom.

It was great to see my mother and other residents outside enjoying the party atmosphere. Although we had to social distance ourselves from the residents we were still able to have good conversations with them all.
Due to the stress of social distancing guidelines both for residents and their families, it would be much appreciated if such type of gatherings/events were held periodically to improve the mental health of all involved .

In honour of the seventy-fifth anniversary of VE Day, I had the pleasure of attending the celebrations at the Perry Trees Care Home in Kingstanding. It was a socially-distanced commemorative event however, we had beautiful sunshine. The bank holiday was celebrated by both staff, residents and their families. The car park was utilised, families remained in their vehicles at all times and drove around the one way system, stopping intermittently to wave and speak to the residents and staff through their car windows.

A minute silence was observed at 11 o'clock, then the car park was opened and vehicles were beaconed to drive through in a orderly fashion. The residents and staff waved their union jack flags, the building was decorated in red, white and blue bunting. It was a wonderful atmosphere, the residents sang along to Vera Lynn's iconic WW2 song "We'll Meet Again" to mark the occasion. The quarantine did not prevent the residents and staff celebrating this special occasion. The spirit of all who were present was captured.

I would like to commend the staff who have cared for my my mother for a number of years and continue to go above and beyond for the residents.

A special thank you to the Manager for his creativity and vision for Perry Trees. He continues to find ways of bringing families together through this difficult time, which was demonstrated through the joyous VE Day celebrations.

Well done Perry Trees! (Until we meet again ....)

Very well coordinated event. Opportunity to see my mom. Staff were all great. Plenty drinks put out for residents. Sun protection (hats) also put on less independent residents. I was impressed by the care taken by the staff. They should be congratulated. Social distancing was well observed

On Friday 8th May I attended the Perry Tree Drive through, which celebrated the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.

Upon my arrival, I was immediately impressed at how well organised & safely coordinated the plan was implemented during this time of social distancing due to Covid-19. I was the first to arrive and was welcomed into the car park by the Service Manager at exactly 11am as planned. The residents were transported outside of the building in wheelchairs by the staff so that they could see their relatives as they drove through the car park. There were also some lovely VE Day decorations/bunting placed outside and drinks for the residents.

The staff & residents were all very well dressed. My Grandmother looked lovely & happy. The weather was also sunny & bright which assisted with the smooth running of the event.

I was most impressed by Perry Trees thoughtfulness and efforts in trying to ensure that their residents maintain a close connection with their relatives by providing such an opportunity during this difficult time. I have not heard of many residential homes across the country offering anything similar. Therefore as a family we feel very blessed & privileged to have been able to do this.

Mum was at Perry Tree for 2 years and was very well looked after. She had vascular dementia which sometimes made it difficult for the staff but they coped admirably.

Good evening, On behalf of my family, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the welcoming preparations you organised for our mom. Loving the heart, cuddly teddy, Barbadian flag and picture, and the rainbow which Biblically represents the promise between God and us, his children, as well as an acknowledgement to all those who care for the sick, our senior folk, and those in need. Clearly, they demonstrate love, selflessness and courage and much needed community spirit. We can see that mom's settling well and it's truly because you're a genuinely caring professional, who leads a team of staff who have exhibited care and diligence in what has been an anxious time for the family, allaying our fears. Mom feels well taken care of. Stay safe and blessed always.

I am the daughter of a resident at Perry Trees Care Centre. I would just like to say a very big thank you to the manager and all his staff for all the hard work, care and compassion they show to not only my mum but all the residents.
We understand how difficult and challenging these times are and would just like to pass on our appreciation and gratitude to everyone involved at Perry Trees.
Its so comforting to know we can phone and speak to a member of staff or to Mum and get updates on her wellbeing.
The manager and his staff are amazing and a credit to Perry Trees.

Mum has been in the care of Perry Tree Care Home for just over 6months. It took mum a short while to settle in and adjust to the new faces around her, which was expected. The PT team is caring and before mum joining them, the PT team asked about her likes/dislikes, her family then/now etc. Several months on we have found the PT team know about mum and readily get in touch and update us with anything pertaining to her. We are well informed and happy with the care and communication they have with us.
In these extraordinary times today, where we are encouraged not to visit, I was offered an alternative option to visiting in person ... to Skype mum. I happily took up their offer with this initiative. They emailed me a link to use and advised I called ahead for one of their available slots. Today I was able to see mum and communicate with her at PT. Thank you to the PT team, there are many to mention, but we say a massive 'Thank You' to the team as a whole.

Perry tree centre is one of the best facilities I have ever encountered, and I am very happy that my grandmother can reside there. All the staff are more than accommodating to my entire family and they treat my grandmother very well. I know she is very happy there and every time I come and see her, she tells me stories about her favourite members of staff. They find ways to assist her; that makes her comfortable but also helps with her needs, without belittling her or making her feel like a child.
They also keep us well informed on various events, new ways for her to regain some of her independence and any challenges she may be facing, and they work with us to find solutions. I cannot speak highly enough of every member of staff and I am very grateful for all they have done.
