My mum has a stroke in 2024, on returning home after 2 and a half months in hospital, it was clear she was unhappy with the care she was being provided at home, so it was agreed she would become permanent at Brook View. My mum is really happy and cared for fabulously at Brook View, the staff are friendly,
the attention to detail is wonderful and I couldn't be more happy.

Every aspect of my care was attended to. The meals were the highest standard varied and delicious. The activities were fun and interesting and my medical needs were carried out efficiently and expertly. The care workers themselves were so happy and this spilled over onto those being cared for, nothing
was too much bother and everything was done with a smile. It is impossible to emphasise how excellent this care home is.

Abbey View Nursing & Residential Home

from J H (Respite Resident) published on 14 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

An excellent service in all respects. The personal care of my condition was very caring and sympathetic by both the nursing and care staff. The medication was always prompt and well organised, and as initially I felt a little confused at times, there was never any problem in when or what should be taken.
The personal care was very good, The meals were always varied and encouraged me to eat more. Being also Coeliac, was not a problem for the excellent chef, As I became more mobile, it was possible to visit the garden every day, to exercise my rather reluctant legs, I was initially rather reluctant to go into respite care, but whilst I hope not to repeat the experience, I have retuned home in a much better state.
There are no complaints, all the staff were so kind, understanding and supportive, and I thank them all with respect and gratitude. They put me back together. Thank you

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The Aldbury is the best care home I've ever gone to and the one my mum liked the best on viewing, this made it very easy to choose this home as the best place for mum to move to. Mum has mild/moderate dementia and the staff have gone above and beyond to make her feel welcome. I cannot fault a single
thing about the home. Every single member of staff is exceptional no matter who they are from managers to carers, reception staff, activity staff, nurses, cleaners etc, every single one is always kind, helpful, caring and cheerful. I absolutely love visiting mum and she is really well settled. The food is excellent, there's regular tea and cake as well as the meals, a little café and really lovely gardens. I would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone who has the need for a care home, it is exceptional!

Reply from Martin Corrigan, Home Manager at The Aldbury

Thank you so much for your kind comments about The Aldbury. We're so pleased to hear how well your mum has settled in and how welcomed she's felt by the team.

Review of

Woodpeckers

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mothr has been in Woodpeckers almost two years, and every night on the phone, she tells me how lucky she feels to be in such a wonderful home. She is full of praise for all the staff, and comments on how everyone is always smiling. I would add that I greatly appreciate the fact that all the staff
are so amazingly patient and quite outstanding in their care. Mother describes the food as being 'just the sort of food you would cook yourself'. This contributes to her feeling that Woodpeckers really is her home. When any of the family visit her - particularly her great grandchildren - everyone is warmly welcomed, and encouraged to join her for lunch or tea. Mother loves the fact that there is always something going on, and I appreciate the entertainment staff sending me the weekly activities sheet, with comment and photos of what Mother has been up to. Mother particularly enjoys the visits by the local school children, and the weekly mini-bus outing. She also really appreciated the beautiful garden, which she tells she walks around several times a day. In her words 'she can't find fault with anything' and neither can I!

Reply from Stuart King, Home Manager at Woodpeckers

Thank you so much for your kind comments about Woodpeckers. It's fantastic to hear how much your mother enjoys living here and that she truly feels at home. Knowing she looks forward to the daily activities, enjoys her meals, and takes pleasure in the garden and outings is lovely to hear. It also means a great deal to know that you and your family feel welcomed and reassured. The team work incredibly hard to create a warm, supportive environment, and your feedback is a lovely reflection of that. I'll be sure to share your comments with everyone here. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Review of

Court Lodge

Our mum has been a resident at Court Lodge for 5 years now and the ethos of the team has always been to create a calm, friendly, and also fun atmosphere.
Sheis currently struggling with accepting her own mental and physical deterioration. This means that she has displayed some difficult behaviour
but the compassion and understanding of all the staff, particularly under the manager's leadership, is wonderful.
Both my sister and I live a long way from the home so having total confidence that all aspects of our Mum's care is exemplary is very reassuring.
Thank you
