Would love to thank all the staff at United AgeWell Preston for all the care and love given to my mother during her stay there. Nursing staff would often say "I love you Julia" and call her Mumma. I'm very happy that my mum spent her final months of her life there. Thank you all again. Yes I would highly recommend this place to look after your loved ones..

My Mum has been with Uniting Agewell for 4 1/2 years. I cannot speak highly enough of this facility; from the reception staff to the amazing carers and nurses. They are all caring and considerate, just wonderful. Bron
For 4.5 years, each day (except during lockdown), I walked into this place to see my father. Each departure left me with a serene heart, knowing he was in the best care, a comfort beyond what I alone could provide. In this peace, I found solace, free from worry, knowing he was cherished and safe. Leaving a loved one in care, whether a child or an elder, brings its own set of worries. With children, we pick them up the same day, but with elders, we leave them and go, often feeling more stress. Children are easy to love, but elders, with their reversed journey of growing up, can be harder to care for. Yet, this place made it possible for me to have a secure mind, knowing my father was in the best hands. Since he entered palliative care, I needed to be beside my father more, so I was hanging around here all the hours. I was surprised how they arranged a bed for me beside my father, and I was able to be with him in his last breath when he peacefully left during his sleep. I can say with confidence that my father had a great life with the dignity that he deserves, and I am so grateful to this place. This place, run by a Christian organization, upheld values that transcended class, race, and religion. It was a home where elders were truly cherished and spoiled, ensuring they lived their days with dignity and joy. Here, they received the best in every area: impeccable hygiene, fine dining, en suite apartments, 24-h access to YouTube, chaplain services, exercise programs, group activities, attentive nurses, and emergency care. Every detail was designed to provide comfort, happiness, and a sense of community. My thoughts and heart go to every staff member from administration, hospitality, medical care, housekeeping, maintenance, and other departments involved in a complex center like this. Their dedication and compassion made a world of difference during such a difficult time.
