Staff he regards as family – why Matthew loves Juniper
When Mary’s father Matthew needed full-time care, she knew Juniper House was the very best place to call home.
“I looked no further and had no hesitation,” she said. “It’s just everything – the heart of the home, the work ethic of the team, the menu, the activities.”
Matthew moved into Juniper House, off Bromyard Road in St John’s, Worcester, in October 2021 and couldn’t be happier.
Mary adds: “He loves it here. I took him to my house for his birthday dinner and afterwards he said ‘right now, I want to go home to Juniper as they will be having afternoon tea!’ He absolutely loves the food here. He particularly loves to have a bacon sandwich brought to him in bed in the morning!”
True devotion from a team he regards as family
Mary said the dedicated team have helped Matthew to settle into the care home so smoothly.
“They make everything so homely and he treats them as if they’re his second family,” she says.
“The staff are brilliant with him and know exactly what he likes – it’s the little things they do, for example they know he likes a cup of milk with his dinner every day. In his own words Dad says they are ‘absolutely amazing’.
“And for me, I’m so relieved he’s here because I know he’s safe and is being so well looked after.”
For Matthew, a keen gardener, he loves spending time in the home’s gardens exploring the grounds with the staff and his family. But he’s also discovered some new activities which he’s never experienced before!
Mary adds: “He recently had a foot spa and hand massage there and absolutely loved it – it’s those one-to-one moments with the staff that are so special.”
