Amathea

from L C (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Putting a parent into care is one of the hardest decisions daughter's will ever have to make but even within a short period of time to see how dad was well cared for and was joining in with the activities took all the worry and stress away. The facilities are always well maintained and spotless, dad
is always well dressed and groomed and from seeing how he responds to the interaction with the carers it is clear that he is treated with respect and dignity. All the staff, across every department are always pleasant easy to talk to, extremely helpful and approachable. We are so glad that we were able to get dad into Amathea and would recommend the home to anyone facing the decision of having to put a loved one into a care home.

Our son has been a resident for fifteen years, and during that time Amathea has been a lovely caring environment for him from every member of staff. The food is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. All of the staff make his life so happy and we want to thank them all for the exceptional care

Amathea

from Tony S (Son of Resident) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mom (Aged 98 at that time) sustained a fractured neck of femur, following a fall, and it soon became clear that some form of residential care would be needed, following a period of rehab. I was extremely fortunate that my sister-in-law works as a paramedic, and regularly visits most of the care
homes in the area. It was her initial recommendation of Amathea as being the best which helped in making what has proven to be the correct decision for Mom's care and welfare. Her Amathea residency started in March 2025


The staff, I've found to be of the highest standard, and Mom's meds are delivered via a foolproof system, preventing over or under prescription.


For complete peace of mind, Amathea operate a feedback system which reports to me immediately if any problems might arise, and this combined with regular room visits takes such a lot of worry away from her day to day life.


I'm confident Mom will be celebrating her 100th year at Amathea!

My Mam has been in Amathea care home for just under 12 months. In that time she has been very very well looked after. The staff are excellent. The food very good. The management are always willing to help and listen to concerns, .of which I have had none.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amathea to anyone who is looking for a place for a loved one to stay.
It really is a home from home. Very well managed.
My dad is really well cared for. The carers are all lovely caring people and go the extra mile to make sure my dad is comfortable and well looked
after.
There are plenty of daily activities to keep the residents enertained/occupied.
The food is amazing.
Couldn't have picked a better place. Dad is happy so I am happy too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was admitted to Amathea in June 2025. She was made very welcome by staff and other residents. She went in for respite care but fell in love with the home and asked to stay full time. Mam is loving her room and the staff, she enjoys the activities that happen on a daily basis. Not only have
the staff made mam very happy and safe they welcome us when we visit. The way the home is run there is always somewhere private to talk to Mam and I find the staff very helpful with any requests.
I would highly recommend this home to all my friends and family. I have worked in care homes for over 40 years and this one gets full marks from me

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.

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.
