Dear all at Briery Lodge,
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care you have provided to PW.
Your compassion, professionalism, and dedication have made such a meaningful difference.
There have been so many moments where your kindness has truly stood out: the reassurance you offer him, the patience you show on difficult days, and the genuine warmth you bring to every interaction with him. You consistently make him feel safe, valued, and respected.
It is clear to see the strength of your teamwork and how well you all communicate to ensure his needs are met. Your ability to provide individualised, person‑centred care has had a huge positive impact on his quality of life. The way you go above and beyond each day does not go unnoticed by all at NW IDT.
Thank you, once again, for everything you do. Your dedication means more than you know.

My wife was sent to Royal Park after being discharged from the hospital after suffering a severe stroke in July 2024. I cannot praise the staff enough they treated her with the utmost respect and dignity and they were always happy to share a joke
with her. Physios and therapists were excellent in the treatment they gave her and always willing to engage with them even though she sometimes refused to cooperate with them.
She enjoyed all the activities especially karaoke singing along in her own way to an English male singer/songwriter's songs. I
must mention my wife's birthday, after receiving a phone call on the morning of her birthday for an invite to lunch with her I was met with a private side room decorated with banners and balloons and we enjoyed a great meal together. I will never forget the staff and wish them all the very best in the future.

This is now an excellent, well run, maintained assisted living home for the young vulernable adults who reside there. Kerry Lay the Manager has turned this home around since she was appointed, well maintained, gardens delightful. Select group should be very proud of what she has achieved. Residents are so much happier.

Dear Carol & Sarah
I am writing to you to thank you for your support and kindness you offer me during my employment at Select Healthcare as a Physiotherapist Assistant.
I have been working with you since April 2020. Unfortunately I am leaving this position for a new challenge.
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I have enjoyed working at Jubilee Court. It has been a great work place to develop my skills and knowledge. Here it feels like my second home.
It has been a pleasure working with you and your amazing team. They are all kind and professional.
I hope I will see you all soon. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you!
Kind regards

Hello Kerry (Home Manager)
I hope today finds you well.
This is my view of what The Mews team are doing in these difficult times.
Firstly, I would like to thank Mrs Kerry Lay and her team for looking after my son’s best interests.
Throughout Lockdown, and well before, my son has been kept safe and protected in a homely environment. His needs are catered for in all the ways that are possible (within the current guidelines).
He is well occupied and his mind is being stimulated. As someone who is active, he is taken for regular walks in the countryside, and enjoys riding his bicycle around the home’s grounds.
The staff are well focussed on each resident’s needs and provide the very best care.
Mrs Lay communicates well with us as a family, keeping us up to date with what he is doing, sending photographs, arranging video calls (which we really appreciate as we’ve been unable to see him in person) and addressing any concerns she or the staff may have.
My son always appears happy, in spite of not being able to come home to us each month, which reflects the stability of the environment and care.
My husband and I would like to thank Mrs Lay and her team for all they are doing in what are very challenging times.
Regards

Dear Sir or Madam
I wrote to you some time ago when my son came to The Mews, he as continued to make progress in his general and mental state, and my wife and I would like to thank you all as a Company for all you have done, Kerry the new manager at The Mews and her staff have shown very high standards of care throughout the ‘lockdown’, the love and respect that we feel for them is difficult to put into words, but thank you all. I have emailed the Care Quality Commission and they have spoken to us over the phone. I felt that they should know of the very high standards of care that the staff at The Mews have shown, it is important that Authorities should know about such kind and caring staff and that their conduct of care should be recognized by all.
My wife and I would like to thank you from our hearts for all you have done for us as a family, we are very proud to know of your Company.
Our warmest Christian love and kindest regards.

Dear Kerry,
I just wanted to write to you having worked with you for the last 15 months to say how incredible the change in the service has been over this period of time. The work you and the staff have put in to grow this service and improve is remarkable.
Since you have taken over the service has become very welcoming and advice is always acted upon in a very quick manor. Your staff and yourself always act appropriately and ask for support when you cannot manage difficulties in house. The reliance on PRN medication and medication in general has reduced as you have found other more positive strategies to support people.
There always lots of in house activities and now there are always availability for a wide range of out of home activities for people to access- their likes and wishes are always taken into account and you always promote independence and choice. It has been a pleasure to work with you during your management of the Mews and I wish you every success for the future.
Best wishes

Swiss House is what ALL ‘homes’ should be modelled upon.
None of the staff look at their duties as ‘a job’ – more as part of an extended family. We love every single one of them!
