Callands Care Home

from A M (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 March 2026
Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mum has been in the care home for over 12 months. She has settled well and is safe and well looked after. The staff work hard and care. There are niggles which could be improved - we have fed this back but improvements don't seem to happen, if this could happen it would make a massive difference.
Reply from Lucie Drakeford, Communications and Marketing Manager at Callands Care HomeThank you for sharing your feedback and for trusting us with your mum's care over the past year. We are really pleased to hear she has settled well and that you feel she is safe and cared for, that's so important to us.

We are sorry to hear that some of the improvements you've raised haven't yet been felt. Your feedback matters, and we recognise how frustrating that can be. We would really welcome the opportunity to revisit this with you and ensure the right actions are taken. Please do get in touch with us directly so we can follow this up properly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother has lived at Callands Care home for the past two years. He received a serious brain injury 20 years ago and has been all round the country in various homes / institutions and I have followed him. This was the first care home funnily enough he was in after his injury. ...and now thank goodness
he is back. I visit regularly and love the staff and the relaxed atmosphere and always feel very welcomed. The main thing is I come away from my visits knowing my younger brother is in safe hands and in a caring safe environment, with members of staff on Conniston that go the extra mile and my brother is the happiest he has been in many years . I can not thank them enough for the care he has and how it's changed my life too knowing he is being looked after . Thank you all from carers to cleaners .

My review is related to the excellent treatment of my husband since he has been in dovehaven, staff are always friendly, my husband suffers from Lewy body dementia, he is very happy and content, always cared for, well fed, if I ever have a concern it is always taken seriously and sorted, I love to see
my husband at least twice a week, as a 75 year old I do have health issue of my own, if I can't get in I can face time the home and have a face to face call with my husband which benefits us both, I would recommend dovehaven grove to anyone needing to place a loved one into a care home,

Thank you to all the care team at Birch Abbey. You are unfailingly cheerful, everyone knows the names of the residents and have a ward or two as they go about their duties. Mum can be a little quiet at times, doesn't always join in, but enjoys the activities from the side lines. There was a lovely singer
in the other week, Mum was actually mouthing the words of the songs - lovely! Your care getting her up and dressed every day shows - she is always dressed in co-ordinating colours, as she likes - Thanks. xx

This care home has undergone a big transformation in the last 18 months and is still a work in progress. However, the enormous efforts made are very visible. They have had a productive recruitment drive and they have improved their acivities program. The staff are happy and there is a lovely atmosphere
all round.The manager is approachable and happy to help. The carers are kind, compassionate and attentive. The chef and kitchen staff are always happy to help with dietary requirements. The laundry staff are great and clothing turnaround is quick. All the rooms are ensuite and they are kept clean and tidy by housekeeping. Its a good place to have a loved one cared for.

On entering, we where advised and shown how to log in, then a male, presumed work there as he had no uniform on escorted us to the lift and then to the room, the bedroom did not resemble anything like the photos, did not see any members of staff, our friend asked if we would like a drink, she wasn't
sure where to go, no staff in sight, on leaving a lady who we had been told was a resident escorted us back to the lift and entered a code, had she not been there we would have had no idea, and the person who took us in the lift never explained about needing a code, again no staff about, not a good visit, sad to see residents sat in the passage way, one of which was desperately asking for help, again no one came, its sad to now see our dear friend now living in this environment.
Reply from Lucie Drakeford, Communications & Marketing Manager at Dovehaven GroveThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your visit to Dovehaven Grove fell short of what you expected, and we appreciate you raising these concerns. We understand how upsetting it must have been to witness what you describe, particularly when visiting someone you care deeply about. This is not the experience we aim to provide to residents or their visitors.

Your feedback has been shared directly with the home's management team and will be carefully considered as part of our ongoing work to improve communication, visibility of staff, and the overall visiting experience. We are continuously reviewing our practices to ensure our homes feel welcoming, supportive and safe at all times. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We are committed to learning from feedback like yours and making improvements where they are needed.

Hope House

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Grandad moved to Hope House after my grandma passed away.
From the very first day, the care home has shown my grandad nothing but kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion. Every member of staff goes above and beyond to ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for, not just physically
but emotionally as well.
The staff treat residents like family, taking the time to get to know them as individuals, with patience, respect, and warmth. My grandad is always spoken to with kindness, included in conversations, and encouraged to stay engaged and positive. It gives our whole family immense peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and caring hands.
The home itself is always clean, welcoming, and well-organised, creating a calm and comforting environment. Communication with family members is excellent - we are made to feel part of the team . Thank you
Reply from Lucie Drakeford, Communications & Marketing Manager at Hope HouseThank you for your lovely review and for trusting us with your grandad's care. We're very sorry for the loss of your grandma, and it means so much to hear that your grandad feels safe, valued and genuinely cared for at Hope House.
Your kind words about our team and the peace of mind this gives your family will mean a great deal to everyone here. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Argyle Park

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Argyle Park 4yrs ago due to a bad fall at home and not managing on her own due to her Alzheimer's, Then covid hit which was hard for everyone, Katie and all the staff are amazing she's so well looked after she was always a fussy eater but she enjoys the lovely food they serve by the
fabulous cooks, The care my mum has been lovely as caring with a person with Dementia can be challenging when she socialises she enjoys herself with the activities in the communal room, the videos on the social media page are great as not living local and having health issues I've not been able to travel to see her as much it's lovely to see her on the social media page, This care home deserves top marks the residents always look happy and well cared for.
Reply from Daisy Edmondson, Marketing Executive at Argyle ParkThank you for your wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear that your mum is happy, well cared for, and enjoying the activities at Argyle Park. Its great to know our private social media community page updates help you feel connected, and your kind words mean a lot to the team.
