Review of Garth House Care Home with Nursing on Wednesday 10 July 2013 by Diane L (Daughter in law of resident)
We transferred Joan from Beckenham and the staff couldn't have been more helpful in helping Joan settle into her new home. They are all so caring and inclusive. We cannot thank them enough for making Joan's twilight days so happy.

Review of Garth House Care Home with Nursing on Wednesday 12 June 2013 by Alfred George (Husband of resident)
My wife appears to be happy and contented here and gets on very well with all the staff members and they with her. They make sure she keeps all hospital appointments (I also travel with her) so her health is well monitored, which pleases me a great deal. Generally speaking I am delighted she is so well looked after.

Review of Garth House Care Home with Nursing on Thursday 7 February 2013 by Brian C (Brother of resident)
Garth House was recommended by a family who had a relative staying there. We have found that a warm welcome always greets you from the staff at Garth House, and the care they give to the residents is 100%.
Review of Garth House Care Home with Nursing on Sunday 16 December 2012 by Terence Street (Son)
Mother is very well looked after by staff, regular doctor visits, homely atmosphere, lovely surroundings. For example - she just celebrated her 90th birthday and she was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a birthday cake, complete with candles and it was brought to her with staff singing 'happy birthday' to her, which made her day!

Very supportive and welcoming whenever I visit. Always keep me updated on my mother's well-being. As I live 150 miles away it is good to know that my mother is being well cared for. Can visit any time of day, always offered refreshment.
