overlooking their beautiful gardens and everything was always clean and tidy. The activities were run so well, tailored to her declining abilities, keeping her engaged. We even saw her smile. The plistos meant so much. Communication from the staff were excellent. I cannot recommend Dapplemere highly enough. Thank you to the management and entire team for their dedication.

was given all the time I needed to say a private goodbye to Mum. On a subsequent visit, and with welcome assistance, I was able to collect personal things from her room and, again, with no time pressures.
Other reviews refer to the 'Dapplemere family'. As a regular visitor I've felt very much a part of that and I'll miss seeing those people with whom I've shared time during my visits.

a home-like environment with individual needs and preferences catered for, including meals or socialising. I must say I thought how much a similar facility would be appreciated at home for both my family, or indeed myself when I am in need of such care. Thank you for such lovely care of my dear friend.

I was touched that someone made his memory box for him and it was perfect. He always looked clean, neat and comfortable. He died peacefully in his sleep and it meant a lot to me that they had been checking on him during the night and notified the family within an hour of him passing away. They didn't hurry us to clear his room. At all times I felt he was cared for and treated with respect and I'm grateful his last weeks were comfortable and peaceful.

very happy. The rooms were lovely, nice and spacious with big windows looking out over the very pretty garden. We met the chef, who has been there for over 25 years and her menu sounded amazing. We’d have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Not having tried the food, I think it was ok.

their way and not yours. Management needs to improve their listening skills and not poo-hoo what the residents are saying. Unfortunately, you cannot run a care home on a shoestring budget.
