My Dad went into Larks Leas about a year after my Mother passed away, we had looked at a couple of care establishments for him, but we felt comfortable with Larks after a visit, he did have a choice of rooms and he chose a smaller one, mainly as it offered him a view of the garden.
The staff at the
The staff at the
home are friendly and informative, they would always contact me if Dad needed anything or they wanted to discuss anything. I felt happy that Dad was in good hands and wanted for nothing. Can't recommend Larks enough.

Yesterday, I was invited to a garden party with musical entertainment at Larks Leas. During the 'very warm' afternoon we were waited on by the very friendly staff with cold drinks. Then we enjoyed a delicious cream tea, after which we spent time chatting in the lovely shady garden. My cousin has been
a resident for several years and I know the saying is 'there's no place like home' but the change we've seen since she moved into care is 'incredble'.

The manager at Larks Leas was excellent at explaining everything about life at the care home and the financial requirements. The staff are exceptionally friendly and on first name terms with the residents. They succeed in making the stay have a home from home feeling. Residents views are taken into
account and acted upon. We couldn't be happier that we found this home.

I am very pleased with all the staff at 'Forest Hill' on how they look after my very sick mother. The total dedication of all the nurses and sisters in the care and respect for my mother. Also all the hard work of those people such as cooking, cleaning, coffees etc. I never have any worries about my
mother's welfare when I am not present.

Mum had become frail and needed care, although she did not instantly accept her predicament and the reliance on others. The whole team at Larks Leas did their utmost to welcome and integrate Mum, initially for respite but with a view to it becoming permanent.

The room was freshly decorated, had a pleasant
garden view and felt comfortable and homely. Mum was a somewhat fussy vegetarian but the kitchen staff did their utmost to help find her food and choices that she liked. Having experienced some rather poor treatment from two different hospitals the whole atmosphere and level of care provided by Larks Leas was very reassuring and we knew that Mum was being cared for properly. Integrated correctly with treatment from local GPs and nurses.
Without a doubt, it was a difficult decision to place Mum into a care home but Larks Leas did their utmost to make the transition as smooth as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend them as an ideal location for residential care.

The staff at Forest Hill House are exemplary. There was nothing they wouldn’t do to ensure Mum’s health and happiness during her time there. During the last few days of her life, my brother and I and my sister-in-law were always met with welcoming faces and kind words, and we could see how they too
were affected by Mum’s recent passing. I live 200 miles away from Dorset, and I always found the Nourish Family Portal very informative and it eased my mind to see the level of care Mum received 24/7. We will never, ever, forget the dignity and respect shown to Mum and to us. Thank you once more for looking after Mum so well.

I cannot speak highly enough about Castle Farm Care Home. It is out in the countryside, surrounded by open farmland and a vineyard. So it's both beautiful and peaceful.

Our aunty was lucky enough to spend seventeen, very happy, months there.
It is relatively small with, I believe, about nineteen
rooms. The staff are always friendly, helpful, professional and clearly take pride in the happiness of their residents.
As a result of all of the above, the home feels like a very large family. Some larger organisations may struggle to achieve this.
We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Castle Farm and unreservedly recommend them to anyone looking for a home for a loved one.

My mother has been a resident at Castle Farm Care Home for just over a year. Great care has been given to her throughout this time and efforts made to integrate with other residents and become part of the community. All the staff are extremely helpful. The standard of personal care is great. Her room
is always clean and an effort is made to arrange her flowers and belongings as she wishes. The handyman does a marvellous job with her patio and keeping her feeders topped up!
Last week she was fortunate enough to reach her 100th birthday. She was made to feel very special with a wonderful afternoon tea with all the residents. The staff made a real effort to decorate the lounge for the occasion. Whilst she was having her hair done, they sneaked into her room and gave it a makeover. She was delighted and her family will never forget this milestone.
Thank you everyone!

Throughout her time there, she was treated with amazing kindness, care, love and respect.
The home is indeed that; a home. It has a wonderful calm, caring atmosphere. Staff are approachable, friendly and always
helpful. They not only looked after Mum but us, as a family, too.
What is so evident is that the staff genuinely seem to enjoy their work, going over and above.
Lovely parties laid on for the Jubilee, Christmas etc. Staff coming in on their days off to host residents and their families.
Mum loved the meals and entertainment. She was happy in her room which was bright and always clean. Mum was treated as an individual; staff knew her and how to encourage her.
Sadly, Mum reached the stage in her life where she needed round-the-clock care. We consider ourselves so fortunate that Castle Farm could accommodate her. As a retired nurse myself, I can truly say that this care home is truly outstanding.

My husband has been a resident of Forest Hill House for over two years. His welfare and well-being are my top priority. I am extremely grateful for Forest Hill House. Searching for a care home is often done when your energy level is at its lowest and navigating this decision can feel like a minefield.
When researching any home reading the Care Quality Commission ratings is a must. Every person I have had contact with at Forest Hill House, from top management, the nursing team, support staff, activities coordinators, cooks and general cleaners could not leave me with a better impression. They are caring, friendly, professional, and very understanding. None of us want to be in the position we find ourselves in now. One blessing, and I mean a real blessing, can be finding a nursing home where you know there is quality care and enjoyment of life. My experience tells me that Forest Hill House will not disappoint. I give Forest Hill House my highest recommendation.
