Care Homes Owned by Abbeyfield Living Society

The care team welcome visitors and it has been very easy for me to support my mother in what could be a stressful move and for me to bring in physiotherapists. I am delighted that my mother is now able to move about the house well and to see her relaxed and comfortable. Thank you to the whole team.

Very Caring staff, good food and a pleasant atmosphere. (Pity about the Car Park)

It's difficult to describe the outstanding care and attention provided not only to the residents at Halcyon House, but to the family too. There is an exceptional warmth about this home. It's like being surrounded by family, every member of staff exudes empathy and works as a coherent team. When I say that there doesn't seem to be a hierarchy (ie not dictatorial), a good thing, because every single person works towards caring for the residents gently and with kindness. Everyone is smiley and upbeat, interacting with the residents with compassion and humour whilst respecting dignity. Since it's a small care home it's cosy, has little nooks and crannies where you can sit peacefully, beautiful gardens, and a there's warm welcome for visitors. There is of course great leadership, but it's clear that everyone is respected. As a care home and a work environment Halcyon House is home from home and 5* Thanks Nessa for your outstanding compassion and efficiency, and of to all of the team.

You allowed Mel to join the group and her enthusiasm and energy have done wonders. I have seen how she gives personal attention and time to people in the home, touching hands and reaching hearts, the Christmas entertainments and group outings - you head a fabulous team and it cascades through the home - I am so grateful, on behalf of my mum - thank thank you thank you

End of life is never easy but the whole staff looked after us as much as our Dad and for that we will always be truly grateful.

I would like to express heartfelt thanks for the care my husband received during a short stay at Speedwell. The care staff dealt very well with his fluctuating needs, and the management were calm and helpful when we were uncertain of what arrangements needed to be made. Special thanks to the night staff, who kept watch with the paramedic and me through the long night of waiting for ambulance arrival - (this included welcome cups of tea).

Our family will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and support shown to our father and grandfather during his time at Abbeyfield Hill House.

From the very beginning, it was clear that the home provided a safe, welcoming, and compassionate environment. Dad often spoke warmly about the staff and the genuine friendships he had formed there. The level of care and companionship he received went far beyond expectations and reflected the wonderful culture within the home.

We were always made to feel welcome as a family, and even during very difficult times, everything was handled with professionalism, dignity, and genuine compassion.

Thank you to everyone at Hill House for making such a positive difference to Dad's life and to our family.

Excellent staff. Lovely environment. Food has declined.

Staff from front desk to cleaners, chefs and especially a big shout out to all the entertainment staff who do a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged and smiling. (Mandy, you're fab!)

Overall an excellent care home. I looked a lot of places when I was looking for somewhere for my mother. Within minutes of visiting Abbeyfield in Bramhall, I knew it was the place for her. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff are genuinely caring, and they're happy and always smiling. I only marked down a couple of points, but that's only because the space inside is just a bit tight, but that's a restriction of the building, not the staff! (and all care homes are exceedingly expensive!).

Speedwell looked after my mum for nearly 2 years. Staff were caring,friendly and could not do enough for her. The home was always clean and never smelt. The cafe and garden are so lovely to visit with mum. I would recommend it.

I still have full confidence in the kind respectful care given to mum which hasn't changed over the last 4 years. staff do their utmost to care for mum as best to their ability even under some difficult times when there is little cooperation from mum. if I question or ask for anything staff are happy to provide me the information needed and give me the reassurance of continued support and care. all the staff work extremely hard and all show their care and duty to provide a service to residents and family members, they are all so very friendly and I always feel mum is in very good hands which is ultimate for me knowing mum is cared and safe . the care home provide a weekly programme of activities/entertainment for residents . the care home is always very clean and I have total trust in all the staff at speedwell court

My Godmother has been at Speedwell for 14mths and has been extremely well cared for. A very friendly atmosphere means everyone knows her, whether it's care staff, kitchen or maintenance staff, the gardener, all stop to speak to her with a natural warmth. There are lots of activities which she's encouraged to take part in. Whenever personal care is needed curtains are always pulled even though her room is on the first floor and not overlooked.

I can't thank you enough for all that you do. All the staff work so hard to care for the residents and make sure that they enjoy every day. The activities programme is just brilliant and so varied too. My Mum loves all the music and singing, it makes her so happy, and we always feel so welcome when we come and see her.

My father stayed at Halcyon House, Formby, for about 8 months. During this period, he received nothing but the best personal, nursing and dietary care. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone.

The Home and the staff are doing all that is demanded by an individual and elderly guest and I am awarding the Home 5 stars for its care and hospitality and may the achievements continue for the rest of my pal's life.

Speedwell Court has been a blessing to us since our mum became a resident. We have been able to work together with staff so that our mum receives person-centred care. The management and carers are always willing to listen and take into consideration family suggestions, ideas and deal with concerns. We are able to rest assured because we can see that our mum is being very well looked after.

Very satisfied with the care our mother receives. Staff are extremely caring and kind, and there is always a lovely atmosphere in the home. Nothing ever appears to be too much trouble when we ask for help, and management is always very responsive on the occasions when we have voiced any concerns.

My father who dementia was admitted to Speedwell Court at short notice for respite care. The team were fanstastic at meeting his needs, getting to know him and help him settle in. They were attentive to his needs and he was well looked after. They was excellent communication with the family. We would certain choose Speedwell Court for future respite/ care needs and highly recommend it to others

I can't praise the staff at Abbeyfield highly enough for everything they've done for my Mum since she moved in at the beginning of February. It was a massive change for her as not only had she left the house she'd lived in for 50 years but also completely changed location. Everyone was so welcoming and caring and took time to get to know her and her needs. 6 weeks on and it's wonderful to see her so happy. She joins in all the activities and has only good things to say about the food, staff and her room. If there was a 6th star I'd select it. Thanks Abbeyfield for all you do - you make such a positive difference not just for the residents but for their families as well.
