Peter meets a guest

Lady Colin Campbell (pictured above with Peter Coleman) has written several autobiographers of members of the royal family, including Diana in Private: The Princess Nobody Knows, and most recently The Queens Marriage. She told the Advertiser: “I think it’s really beautiful and user friendly. It’s charming and very attractive and it evokes familiarity. The important thing with people who have dementia is that they need to be around things that they remember from the past. The mind may go with dementia but the capacity to feel and to feel loved and comfortable does not go. So it’s very important that they can be in an environment that is emotionally friendly. Which is why we’ve decorated the rooms to enhance that.”

Manager at Seahorses Care home Peter Coleman added: “It’s an opportunity for the local community to see a care home and understand that we’re part of the community and that our work is for the benefit of everyone.”

Review from Carol S (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 July 2022
The family are so grateful for the level of care and professionalism shown towards our mum. Such a lovely ‘home from home’, with staff that feel like family and anticipate every need. Home-cooked food that Mum wanted to eat and just the right level of support at every part of the dementia journey.
 We feel lucky to have become mum's‘ children’ again, all the care worries taken away.
 
Review from Ursula P (Wife of Resident) published on 27 January 2022

My husband has been at Seahorses since 25th November 2021. During this time, I have witnessed a very caring staff who respect the resident's variety that dementia reflects. They are welcoming to family when visiting.

Review from C P (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2022

My father has been at Seahorses since mid-November, just over 4-weeks, and I feel he is being well looked after. The care staff are really good with my dad, and all seem genuinely concerned for his welfare.
