My Mum has been at St Winifred's since January. She has dementia and is bed-bound, but since day one, the staff have done everything they can to make life for her as good as it can be. They are always very cheery, caring and helpful and open to suggestions from us.
There are so many activities on offer
for the residents, and despite my Mum's difficulties, they try to include her in as much as possible. I am so grateful for her care at St Winifred's and would recommend it to anyone.

We came to the home for the first time to visit a family friend, we were surprised at the cleanliness and warm welcome from the staff, I used to work at a few care homes and they were not up to the standard of Loose Valley, it smelt amazing and we loved the interaction between staff and the ladies we
saw there. I'm a huge animal lover and know they really help people to feel relaxed and at home, so love the cat resident he is peaceful.

Abbotsleigh Care Centre

from M W (Sister of Resident) published on 5 August 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After a spell in hospital, my sister's dementia necessitated going into care, which was quite a shock as, at that point, I wanted her to come home. She was taken to Abbotsleigh Care Centre. Over time, she settled in and her usual happy personality returned. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff
involved in her care and how the home is run. She seems very happy, she is well cared for and is safe. Her day to day life is much fuller than it would have been had she returned home. The outside space is lovely, and they can feed the chickens. There is plenty of room for people to sit, and we recently had a BBQ and strawberries and cream.

Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear your sister has settled in well and that her happiness has returned; it truly means a lot to us. It's lovely to know you've enjoyed the outdoor space and recent events too. Your feedback is a wonderful encouragement to the whole team.

Loose Valley Care Centre

from David G (Respite Resident) published on 30 July 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After a motorcycle accident in April 2025 I spent 8 weeks in hospital. Owing to a fractured pelvis, at the end of that time I still had limited mobility and it was not feasible for me to go back home, so I was placed at Loose Valley Care Centre.
I was initially very wary of going to a care home, but
I was very pleasantly surprised.
The setting is very pleasant, all my visitors commented on how nice it was there
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They all seem to actually enjoy their job, which is nice to see.
There is a physio who is onsite twice a week.
They don't just look after resident's physical needs, they also arrange activities, such a quizzes, bingo, visiting entertainment and excursions. I went on 3 of the outings and very much enjoyed them.
I spent just over 6 weeks there, until my pelvis had healed sufficiently to allow me to go home.
It was hard to say goodbye when I left.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your time at Loose Valley Care Centre was a positive and uplifting part of your recovery.

My husband has been at Abbotsleigh now for 18 months and settled in very quickly with the care of the staff who were very attentive to his needs. They always address him by name and try to engage him when they can which is not east as he is very tired and sleepy. His weight has stabilised since being
there although he is very thin, but the staff try to move him regularly to avoid bedsores. He is in his chair in the coffee room every 2-3 days which he enjoys with singers coming in, organised by the entertainment team.

My father has been living at Abbotsleigh for 18 months and is very contented there. As a family we have been so happy with the care he has received and the friendly, caring staff who always do more than expected. As an example, the staff realised recently it was my parents' wedding anniversary and
helped dad, who has long term dementia, to sign an anniversary card for my mum which was such a lovely touch. There are always activities planned and dad also seems to enjoy the food immensely! We are so relieved that we found dad such a cheerful and caring place to live.

Review of

Abbotsleigh Care Centre

from Andrew E (Nephew of Resident) published on 11 July 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Aunt has been resident since mid-March 2025, having had a 6 month stay at Staplehurst Manor after a 2 week stay at Pembury Hospital after breaking her hip in a fall at home at the end of August 2024. I am very happy with almost every aspect of my aunt's care - the single aspect, which has nothing
to do with Abbotsleigh, is the haphazard provision of weekly GP visits after a change in management/ownership at the Staplehurst Health Centre. Communications (whether phone or email) with the Health Centre are similarly frustrating. Abbotsleigh's staff are extremely pro-active, very caring and friendly, and very good at communicating with me as my Aunt's NOK about all aspects of her physical health and mental state.

Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words, Andrew. We're really pleased to hear you're happy with the care your aunt is receiving at Abbotsleigh. Our team works hard to ensure residents feel safe and supported, and it's lovely to know that communication has been clear and helpful. I'll be sure to share your feedback with the staff, they'll really appreciate hearing it. We also understand the challenges with the local surgery and truly appreciate your patience and understanding in that area. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's ever anything you need. Thank you once again for your positive review.

I am being looked after very well. The staff are all lovely, all do superb. All very friendly but I'm bored, I need to get out of my room more. Everyone comes into my room and greets me well.

Hi Ruby, Thank you for your feedback. I will contact the home and ask them to have a chat with you about what you would like to do to avoid being bored. We have lots of ideas and options and that can be tailored to provide you with an interesting , enjoyable experience. On my visit next week I will ensure I come and visit you to see what has improved.Kind regards,

Always a pleasant visit, everyone was so helpful. The barbecue and entertainment were exceptional. Loads of food (delicious). Thoroughly enjoyed the effort. You thought of everything. Well done to all the Hengist staff.
