Care Home Owned by Amesbury Abbey Group in Wiltshire

especially things such as Scrabble and card games for the memory and plenty of films etc. Would thoroughly recommend and such beautiful surroundings.

just can't fault any part of his care. He has a wonderful rapport with everyone and just couldn't ask for more. When we stay over and visit we are so well accommodated and helped at every turn. The accommodation, food and everything is just 5-star!

treat Dad as one of their own family. The nursing care is exceptional. The meals are really well planned and like being in a five-star hotel. Housekeeping looks after Dad's belongings, his paintings, family photographs and furniture, and makes sure he is looking dapper every day in freshly laundered attire. There are always activities going on which keeps Dad engaged with the other residents and means he still has a social life and things to look forward to. With reflection over the last five years, I am so lucky that I moved Dad to Winton and then The Abbey when I did. It's exceptional in every way.

enough.

combined with respectful encouragement to join in has worked its magic. She is now much happier and enters into the many activities laid on for the residents - the Christmas dinner, to which I was invited as a guest, was a joyful experience. I live abroad and can stay in the excellent guest accommodation when I visit. The communication between the care home and my brother, sister and myself has been excellent. Highly recommended.

a stunning place to live with fabulous grounds to explore.

and would agree with this comment. My parent's situation is a difficult one, my father is 103 and really wants peace and quiet and to sleep, although he does very much enjoy stimulating company. Meanwhile, my mother at 98, would like to be incredibly active but is hampered by suffering from severe Macular Degeneration. The staff do their very best to help her and to involve her in anything that is going on in the way of activities.

meeting others and going to the group things going on.

providing fabulous advice for our mother whilst she was in hospital. Best of all, she put me under no pressure to decide or rush into a decision, setting her apart from other care homes.
I had then been worried that perhaps the manager was brilliant, but the service afterwards wouldn't match it, I am so relieved that everyone I have dealt with since has absolutely matched the ethos the manager showed. When I changed our plans for Christmas and asked on Christmas Eve if we could manage to get our mother to us for the holiday, everyone moved mountains to help us. There seems to be a "can-do" attitude at Amesbury.
Above all else though, Mummy is happy and that's what really matters.

gave my mother a lovely birthday party. I recommend it very highly. The management are very good at communicating with families. I am allowed to come and go with my dog, which is a great boost for my dog-loving mother.

to ensure her general well-being and her comfort continue as best as could be possible in very difficult circumstances. Their patience in attending to all her needs is admirable and I congratulate them on being so understanding and caring of her circumstances.
She has her own large bedroom, en suite and a large window onto the garden facing her in bed. Some of her own furniture and pictures add to the homeliness of a well-decorated room. The food and general cleanliness at the Abbey can not be faulted and the general administration is both efficient and effective. I would not hesitate to recommend the home and its beautiful garden and extensive grounds.

manager and staff were very committed to providing the best they could. Words cannot adequately describe our thanks.

her and watch her family grow up.
We cannot thank the Senior Carer enough for her courage and compassion in what must have been a very distressing incident.

to enjoy the wonderful grounds which encourage the resident's to take exercise and in which they also socialise. I am kept informed and I am able to visit my mother frequently and I am also included in some of the celebratory occasions. Amesbury Abbey has the feel of a family home, what more could one ask?
