Creedy House

from Ann C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2025
Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was in Creedy House for about 7 weeks before he passed. The manageress, Nesta, and all her staff supported dad with dignity, respect and empathy for the entire time he was there, the care was excellent. There was plenty of social stimulation for him in the lounge when he was able to be with others,
and the music and singing were especially appreciated as dad loved music and dancing. The staff did their utmost to support dad with his eating and general care, and provided excellent empathic nursing care throughout. Nesta is lovely, and was a huge support for me while dad was at the Creedy, and along with all her staff made me, my mum and family feel supported and welcome whenever we visited dad. A lovely care home and highly recommended!
Reply from Nesta Hollyer, Registered Home Manager at Creedy HouseThank you kindly for the review. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your father and support you and your mum at what I know was a very difficult time. I will pass your gratitude on to the staff.

My godmother fell and shattered her shoulder. As she lives alone, she needed care and rehab to get her back on her feet. The staff have been friendly and kind, and nothing is too much trouble for them. They have been assisting her by doing her personal care in a respectful manner. They have been helping
her to keep mobile by taking her for walks down the corridor. The room is quite small but ok. The meals are generally ok, but not like home cooked food. She has been well cared for, and I can see her getting brighter and stronger. To need someone to care for her, this place has been amazing.

It was a refuge when needed. I live alone and fell and shattered my right shoulder in 4 places and also broke my wrist. I've been unable to look after myself and have come in for respite and rehab. The care has been good and staff have been kind & considerate. They are helping me to keep mobile with
the intention of getting home again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Oakdale was recommended to me for daycare by a work colleague whose mother is a resident.
I cannot fault the staff how they are with the residents and how accommodating the management are in people attending. Oakdale have been a god send to me as I work full time and was unable to leave my mum along
during the day. It was never too much trouble to ask at late notice. They always accommodated a space for mum.
Not only are all the staff lovely and kind to the residents they all seem happy amongst themselves and in their job which creates a really good feeling in the home.


I recommend Oakdale more than 100% and wholeheartedly thank them for being so amazing, kind and genuinely caring.

My dad was admitted to Acacia House on September 5th with complex nursing and care needs. It was a difficult time for us, very emotional and distressing. I cannot praise the management team highly enough. They are exemplary. They have looked after Dad with professionalism and compassion: It is rare
to find both these days, sadly. And the support and care they have extended to me has been over and above anything I have experienced before. Thank you!
Reply from Cristian Tarus, Home Manager at Acacia House - TenterdenThank you so much for your lovely words. We're really glad we could be there for your dad and your family during such a difficult time. It means a lot to know that our care and support made a difference.

My father spent almost a month at Acacia House during the last few weeks of his life. He was terminal and deteriorating fast but I can honestly say that despite the circumstances, both my father and I were thoroughly pleased with the team, his room and his overall care. From the moment my father arrived
to the moment of his passing he was treated with dignity, respect and utmost care. The facilities are very clean and pleasant. The staff are patient and caring. They answered all of my questions and took the time to ensure I was kept in the loop with his treatment and medication. Overall, I am pleased with every aspect of his stay at Acacia House and would highly recommend it.
Reply from Cristian Tarus, Home Manager at Acacia House - TenterdenThank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a privilege to care for your father during such a sensitive time. Our team is deeply committed to providing compassionate, dignified care to every resident and supporting their families throughout the journey. We will share your feedback with our staff-it means a great deal to them. Wishing you and your family comfort and peace.

My dad moved from another care home into Creedy House. I had been unhappy with the previous home from lack of care and stimulation and activities. Also lack of full knowledge of Type 1 diabetes and the provision needed to care for my dad with diabetes and other age related illnesses. On arriving at
Creedy House my family and dad were made very welcome and reassured of care and understanding of his needs. I was finally content to elae my dad in a professional setting and care of others. My dad passed 3 weeks after arriving and was happy he had moved and given the respect and care at the end of his life.

In my opinion Oakdale has got to be the best care home around, everyone is so caring for the residents it's unbelievable. I have never seen any wrong doing in all the time I've been visiting, everyone is so kind and if and when the time comes, I would love to go there.

I recently went to a garden fete at Oakdale, and it was great. So well organised, residents and visitors were really looked after. There was a delicious BBQ, all the drinks you wanted. Entertainment, raffles, lucky dip etc., was all good fun. The staff worked so hard - nothing too much trouble, they
were on hand to care for all residents - and visitors! Well organised, well done!
