Amathea

from Vivienne H (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother took up residency in Amathea very recently; I found that the management and staff in her new home have treated mother with great care and respect, and much kindness. They have been monitoring Mam's safety and wellbeing-making changes responsively and subtly to enhance her dignity. We are
happy that Mam is safely cared for and in her terms, she has her independence back. We couldn't have asked for better care.
Reply from Cheryl Taylor, Home Manager at Amathea

My mam went into Amathea on 15/4/2025. She has settled in very well and enjoys the company of the other residents. Her room is lovely and clean and we have made it homely for her with personal belongings.
The staff and management are all kind and considerate towards my mam. We as a family are included
in decision making and are notified regularly of any issues or concerns. We couldn't be happier for mam to live in the environment she is in. Amathea is a beautiful home.
Reply from Cheryl Taylor, Home Manager at Amathea

My Mum has been in the care home for three months. In that time she has been looked after wonderfully.
All the staff are excellent. The food very, very good, with great choice.
Everyone is so caring and understanding
My mum has not been well and how the staff dealt with her over this time has been
exemplary and due to this care she has recovered well

Mum went into the Amathea for two weeks of respite care. She was very apprehensive and nervous about her stay. From day one, she settled in very well and has since decided to make her stay permanent. She finds the staff very friendly and is making some new friends.

My 85-year-old mother has been a resident at Amathea for four months now. Five stars. We have found Amathea to be a lovely and caring environment from every member of staff, they are polite and have time for every resident. The whole building is very well maintained. and kept spotlessly clean. Mother's
bedroom was freshly decorated before admission. No offensive odours (unlike many care homes). Excellent food and activity programme.

It is now four months since my stepmother went into care and we are delighted she has settled in well and is very happy and the quality of her care has been exceptional. There are many numerous things that make the whole time there so outstanding. We feel that the operative work, without doubt, is care.
The whole staff are really, without fail, very caring and attentive and always demonstrate a professional attitude whilst having time to talk to people. We as a family are delighted. Thank you.

The residents always look happy and my Aunt only has good words for the staff and all they do. I've worked in care for over 22 years and fully understand how difficult it can be to motivate individuals with dementia-type illness but these residents are always doing things with enthusiasm.

My mother entered Amathea quite unwell and very depressed following a hospital stay and caching covid in March this year. She is now a totally different lady in terms of positivity and physical strength. The activities provided by the Activity Coordinators are excellent and keep my mum stimulated mentally.
Care for her personal needs is of a high standard and the GP is contacted quickly when needed. I will forever be grateful to Amathea for their support and care of my mum at a particularly low point in her life.

Amathea has the kindest and loveliest staff. They have made my nana feel incredibly welcome at a very difficult time after an injury she sustained. Nothing is too much trouble and myself and my family are confident that my nana is well looked after in a warm and safe environment. We could not recommend
Amathea more. Thank you for everything.

Due to Covid-19, I am unable to provide some ratings as have not been able to enter the care home. My Mam has only been in Amathea since December 2020, to date, she has been looked after really well, everyone in Amathea has been great, both with Mam and myself. I am really impressed with everything.

My husband is the happiest he has been for ages. He enjoys all the activities. Since he had Covid, his dementia has got really bad, but all staff treat him lovely and with respect. Staff also ask about my welfare and it is appreciated. I couldn't answer some of the questions because I can't come inside
because of Covid. Many thanks for looking after him so well.
