The staff is wonderful. A very fresh, friendly, and positive vibe. All very helpful. The Manager made us feel at home and was very informative and most friendly, my father settled in very easily and quickly. We were able to prepare my father's room before he had arrived.. to make it cosy with memories
of the past .. such as photographs, his favorite chairs.. his clothing, books etc. it made him feel at home. They have plenty of activities on.. my dad says the food is good!! The home is bright, a lot of light, a lovely garden and sitting room.
I was pleasantly surprised.. so glad my father is there. .. Seeing that we live far away and can only visit every few weeks.. it's a great relief ! The home keeps us updated of everything which is also of great help.

Mum was diagnosed in hospital as needing palliative care, with funded nursing care approval, we chose St Michael's. The staff were very welcoming, the Manager efficient in enabling mum to be transferred swiftly and settled into her own room. All the staff were helpful, kind and caring. The home is well
maintained and kept very clean. Thank you.

The team at Dorley House work very hard to create a warm, welcoming and happy environment. The building is old, but it is kept very clean. The staff are gentle, friendly and thoughtful. They have built a lovely relationship with my mum. Mum, after a respite stay, has asked to stay forever. She particularly
enjoys the lovely garden and the food. They have an outing each month, and all the facilities they might need are brought to them. Long may Dorley prosper. This is a really lovely home.

My mother spent her final three years at Dorley House. All the staff were caring and supportive. They are professional, knowledgeable but most of all kind. I am so thankful to everyone there for making mum's time with them special.

We chose this home for my father because of the positive, committed and caring attitude of the staff. St Michael's is kept very clean and the food, which is prepared on site, is very good. My father enjoyed taking part in the varied activities and made friends amongst the residents. He was very happy
here.

My Dad has been at St.Michael's for just over a year now and it has made such a difference to him. Previously he had got to a stage where he was no longer able to manage in his sheltered accommodation, even with family support and carers and after a spell in hospital it became clear he needed somewhere
with 24-hour care. After looking at different options and also trying another nursing home for a respite stay, we decided that St. Michael's may be a more suitable home for Dad. We had previously had a good experience when an Aunt had been there 3 years before.
Since Dad has been at St.Michael's his health has improved significantly. He is happy and content as he knows he is well looked after.
All of the staff are excellent and it is always reassuring that the staff remain the same, unlike some other homes that experience a quick turnover of staff.
Our family are very grateful for all the care that Dad is given, it has made such a difference to him and also to us.

I have recently helped my parents move to St Michael's from their flat where they were independently living. It was a hard decision and difficult to find somewhere with a double room. They are 100 and 96 years old and have been married for 74 years. They have settled in well and Mum is beginning to
make use of the activities provided. Dad is less keen to join in but is being looked after extremely well by all the staff ensuring he eats and drinks well and all his personal care is seen to with dignity.
Everyone has been so kind and welcoming.

This is a wonderful care home, which looked after my very elderly aunt who had dementia and who recently passed away. She was always treated with dignity and respect. The staff treat their residents with obvious compassion and love. They were always really helpful and delightful to talk to. We had to
travel a long way to visit and were always offered food and refreshments. We received regular updates and newsletters and the care was first class. I would not hesitate to recommend Dorley House to care for your loved one.

The person who I am writing about has been in the care of St Michael's since May 2023 until her passing on the 8th of January 2024. In my opinion, she was given the best care throughout her time at St Michael's. All the staff are friendly and dedicated to looking after the residents. Lots of activities
to keep them occupied and entertainment several times a week, which happens in the common room/lounge, including a sing-along/chess/ quizzes and many more activities. As the illness progressed, she was confined to bed, where she had good care given to her by both the care staff and nurses.
