Abbey View Nursing & Residential Home
from D N (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Abbeyview from January 2024 until January 2026. She moved into the home a year after our father died. Mum and Dad had been married for 60 years.
Mum was very anxious about moving into Abbeyview. She had the early onset of dementia and her mobility was limited. However, the

team at Abbeyview made her very welcome, helped her make friends and took great care of her as her dementia progressed. This excellent level of care was maintained right up to Mum's passing.

Reply from Elena Barna, Home Manager at Abbey View Nursing & Residential HomeThank you for sharing this lovely feedback. We're honoured to have supported your mum from the time she joined Abbey View and to know you feel she was cared for with such kindness and reassurance throughout her journey with us.

Overall Experience

Having had a four week stay at Avon Reach to aid my recover from a hip replacement operation, I can only compliment the management and staff for their excellent level of care provided.
At all times, the staff have been attentive, provided a high level of care and support and nothing has been too much

trouble. Room service and housekeeping have been maintained to the highest standard of cleanliness, with staff on call to rectify any problems that may occur and providing clean towels for personal care daily.
A full programme of activities are provided should resident wish to join in. Moving to food, all meals have been served to the highest standard and quality.

The Aldbury
from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I cannot fault the love & care my Dad received from all the staff at Aldbury. He was only with them for a short while before he passed, but he was greeted with such warmth & love, as if he had been there for years. Everyone at the home is so welcoming, they fill the home with joy and nothing

is too much trouble. The residents are so well cared for & there is always something going on to entertain. In the last few days of my dads life both myself & my brother stayed by Dad's side, we were so well looked after, the staff were so kind & caring, we couldn't have wished for a lovelier team to help us in those difficult hours. They truly are angels.

Reply from Martin Corrigan, Home Manager at The AldburyThank you for sharing such a moving reflection, and please accept our sincere condolences. We're honoured to have cared for your dad, even for a short time, and to know you feel he - and your family - were supported with such kindness and warmth.

Fernhill
from Gaby H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother is not the easiest of people to look after but the staff at Fernhill have gone above and beyond. The staff have been incredibly patient with her whilst she settled in and have treated her as an individual. My mother had resisted all kinds of help - washing, dressing, attending activities.

Slowly, with the help of the staff, she has settled in so well and now I feel she feels that Fernhill is her home.

Reply from Lorraine Bell, Home Manager at FernhillThank you for sharing your experience. We're so pleased to hear how well your mother has settled at Fernhill and that the team's patience and individual approach have helped her feel at home. Your feedback will mean a great deal to everyone here.

from B K (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

After visiting my parents at Abbey View for almost a year, I have been impressed by the caring and welcoming atmosphere. Residents and visitors are treated as individuals, and staff are almost exclusively long-term members of a high performing team.
During his final illness and subsequent death, my

father was treated with great dignity and compassion. Staff remained on duty after the end of their shift to ensure continuity of care and empathic support for his wife of nearly seventy years, as well as members of his immediate family.

Reply from Elena Barna, Home Manager at Abbey View Nursing & Residential HomeThank you for sharing your experience, and please accept our sincere condolences.

Newstone House
from Heather S (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was cared for at Newstone House for 2 1/2 years. For most of this time she was relatively active and she was able to take part in activities in the home which she enjoyed. She was ill several times during this period and was always well looked after. She became ill in August and after 10 days

in hospital had almost 2 weeks at Newstone before she died. The care for her and the family during that 2 weeks was amazing - we are so grateful.

Reply from April King, Home Manager at Newstone HouseThank you for sharing these kind words. We're honoured to have cared for your mother during her time at Newstone House, and especially in her final weeks. Knowing you felt supported and cared for as a family means a great deal to the whole team.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law had a short stay (2 1/2 weeks). We were very happy with the care and all the support staff who help to make this home excellent. It is very homely but has 5 star hotel services including the laundry services and excellent food. There are some very good activities for the residents.

We were looked after too. We live 300 miles away, but felt very reassured about the care, including some nursing tasks (dressings) were all carried out to a high standard.
