I would like to say a huge thank you to all staff that were involved in caring for Mum, she was a resident for nearly 3 years, they were all friendly, patient, helpful & nothing was too much trouble.
Sadly she passed away at the weekend, but again the staff were brilliant with both mum & us the family.
I couldn't have asked for better care. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for an excellent care home

All of the staff at Dearbourne Manor are friendly, caring and approachable, which creates a warm and welcoming environment for residents and visitors. They treat everyone with dignity and respect, providing excellent quality care. The home is extremely clean and well-maintained, with comfortable communal
areas where residents can socialise. The planned activities are engaging, well-planned and varied, involving visits from animals for residents to engage with. Communication with families is good, staff and management are always willing to provide updates or dismiss any concerns. I would strongly recommend Dearbourne Manor as a safe, supportive and caring place for loved ones.

My Mother was transferred to Dearbourne Manor to be close to us following a severe stroke from which she spent 5 weeks in hospital. The care and support that was shown in her final days was absolutely outstanding, the facility was spotlessly clean at all times and the staff were truly wonderful. In

My mum has been at Dearbourne since January 2026. She has settled in very well.
The staff have been absolutely wonderful. Carers, nurses, cleaners, receptionists, maintenance staff, hairdresser, clinical lead and manager are all excellent. As well as being competent, they have all been so caring
and have supported mum so well. We are very grateful to all of them!
Food is great. There are generally a couple of menu choices for each meal, as well as the possibility of ordering from a set menu, if neither option appeals.
The building is very new, well maintained, and kept very clean. The lounges on each floor are lovely. Bedrooms are large and well furnished - the only problem is that mum's room can get hot, so we are looking at ways to manage that. There's a large smart tv. Plenty of free parking. Nice gardens. And a cinema room!
Mum hasn't joined any activities, as she gets a lot of visitors. But from what I've seen, there's plenty going on.
Overall, Dearbourne is a great home!
Reply from Stavros Ladopoulos, Home Manager at Dearbourne ManorOn behalf of all the staff at Dearbourne Manor, i would like to say a heartfelt thank you for your wonderful comments and review. We are delighted to know that your Mother is happy in our Home, she feels supported and you are happy with the Care we are providing. Please feel free to see me next time you are visiting, so we can discuss ways of cooling down the room during the hot days. I will also pass your comments to all staff who will be very happy.

Most importantly, despite things to be mentioned, Dearbourne Manor has been exceptionally good for my mother; she would not want to leave or be anywhere else. As I am not resident here, my views are based entirely on visits and feedback from Violetta. Basically only one negative I constantly receive
is about the food. Not really about the quantity or quality but rather the lack of nice vegetables and sauce and the repetition of some types (e.g. coleslaw with everything). Some disappointed with external days out (great visits but lack of). However she adores the manager and all of the staff. Has no issues.
Reply from Stavros Ladopoulos, Home Manager at Dearbourne ManorThank you very much for your feedback and review provided. We are very happy to know that your Mother is happy at Dearbourne Manor and she would not want to be anywhere else. We have been working exceptionally hard to accommodate all the requests we have been receiving and we will keep trying our best to improve in the areas mentioned above. I will pass all the feedback you have provided us to the staff who will be extremely happy to know that your Mother overall is happy at Dearbourne Manor. Many thanks once again.

The staff and management were so kind in caring for my mother throughout her four years at Arbour Walk. The team were wonderful in making my mother feel safe, cared for and loved in the time she was there. My mother felt happy in her home.
The last days of my mother's life were very special. I cannot
thank the staff enough for the way they looked after both my mother and myself (her daughter). Everybody showed great sympathy and went above and beyond to make the experience peaceful and dignified. They gave me immense support at a very emotional and sad time. Truly incredible people with such big hearts.
Thank you to everyone for sending me the beautiful bouquet of flowers, a lovely gesture which touched me.

My parents moved into Arbour Walk 4 1/2 years ago. They both had different needs. I cannot praise highly enough the wonderful care that they both received, all the staff are friendly and helpful, and there is great support and help from management and admin staff who were always there to answer any
questions. The medical and care staff are exceptional and caring. My parents were happy, safe and secure, and we have happy memories to keep.

I cannot recommend this home highly enough here are some reasons why...
My partner is a resident, and spends all her time in communal areas. I go there EVERY DAY, typically for between 2 and 4 hours, though occasionally longer or shorter. The time I go varies. Given the HUNDREDS of hours I have spent
there I think I can give a reliable assessment.....
The staff genuinely care for their residents. It's not just patient professionalism, it is a level above that. The staff create a real sense of communal care, and there seem to be enough of them, so it is not lots of sessions of having to wait long periods every time something is needed.
The building is purpose built, with large wide corridors, we spend time on every floor.
The garden is also really good, even in winter. Super smooth path and ideal for wheeled chairs.
The food is amazing, much of the time being restaurant quality.
The cleanliness is brilliant, there seems to be someone cleaning on every floor at most times of the day.
Reply from Eugen Pitrop, Arbour Walk Home Manager at Arbour WalkThank you very much for your lovely review. It is extremely rewarding to know that our residents, family and friends are happy with the home, the care and the services we offer.

the time which can't be easy. I would recommend Waltham House to anyone who wants their loved ones well cared for.
