Review of
Millfield
from Christine F (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has now been a resident in Millfield for a year. During this time the staff have gone above and beyond with the care given. The Christmas celebrations have been amazing. Millfield held their Christmas party last weekend and family members were invited. There was excellent food and entertainment

with bingo and carol singers, and of course Santa. During the previous week the care home had a visiting panto group (Jack and the Beanstalk) which my mum said was brilliant. Thank you Millfield!

Review of
Montrose Hall
from Kim C (Niece of Resident) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

After a long and difficult year(staying in various assessment units), my aunt moved in to Montrose hall 6 weeks ago. Although she was initially wary , she seems to have settled in well. First and foremost the staff all seem brilliant, everyone I have met have been respectful, friendly and helpful towards

both my aunt and myself . From the manager,deputy, seniors, carers, laundry and domestic staff - absolutely everyone has been consistently kind, interested and thoughtful. Although my aunt is not very communicative, staff are gently encouraging her and getting to know her needs and wants.
The home itself is lovely, very clean bright and well maintained. The dementia friendly decor makes it very welcoming, the facilities are great with different themed communal areas. Her bedroom is very comfortable, a good size and well furnished. I am very confident that my aunt will be happy and cared for here.I feel this is a high quality care home with amazing staff.

Review of
Lightbowne Hall
from P R (Son of Resident) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Dad has only been in 1 week. Had an issue the first weekend. Dad was in the same clothes for 3 days (not the best start) after raising concern it was addressed and he has since been changed daily. Dad seem to be settling in quicker than we thought. The days out are just the tonic he needs and we are

kept up to date which is great and reassuring

Reply from Rebecca Mardy, Home Manager at Lightbowne HallThank you for taking the time to leave us review. It's great to hear Dad enjoys the trips out and you have rated the Overall Experience as Good. We understand Dad was very distressed the first few days of moving in, which can impact normal routine, however we are very pleased Dad is now happy and settled with us here. If you have any concerns you would like to discuss further, my door is always open. Thank you again for your time. Best wishes

Overall Experience

The staff at the home are very professional at what they do and care for the residents. They are very helpful to the residents. The residents are looked after in a safe manner. I don't think they need to improve anything, as they are very caring.

Review of
Lightbowne Hall
from Iain S (Son of Resident) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

From the first day that Mum joined Lightbowne Hall she was welcomed and listened to, by the caring and respectful staff. They went out of their way to help Mum adjust to life in a care home, encouraging her to mix with the residents and engage in the wide variety of activities on offer. The facilities

provided were excellent, with well appointed rooms, clean and comfortable communal areas and even an on-site Hair Salon and Pub, which all help residents to feel at home and part of a community. Throughout Mums stay she received first class support and care from the Staff, who ensured she was comfortable and able to maximise the many engagement opportunities. Even as Mum battled her dementia to the end the Team at Lightbowne remained empathetic, caring and above all respectful; they are a credit to the Care Providing community. A heartfelt thank you to all the Staff at Lightbowne for providing peace of mind for me, and our wider family, in caring for Mum when she most needed it.

Millfield
from Leslee T (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am so pleased that we found Millfield for my Mum. The staff are excellent, friendly and provide the care that Mum needs with dignity and total professionalism, whilst allowing her independence where possible. They have become not only her carers, but her friends, nothing is too much trouble.
It

is particularly lovely how each residents Birthdays and special occasions are recognised and celebrated.
The facilities and the cleanliness is excellent with residents rooms being cleaned daily.
Fun activities are also offered daily and community outings are carried out with pub lunches, local walks and shopping trips where appropriate.
I can't thank Millfield enough for the support they give not only to Mum, but to us as a family and for making Mum happy and comfortable. A Massive Thankyou from us all!

Review of
Wellington Lodge
from A K (Sister of Resident) published on 5 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Wellington Lodge is friendly, clean and lots to do. The staff are really lovely nothing is too much trouble. My sister really liked it. I live 6 doors from a care home which would have been easy for me. It took me 3 buses to get there but was worth it. She didn't want to move anywhere else, only at

Wellington Lodge.

My mum has been in Hatton Grange since Jan 25. They all get together for meals in the dining room to meet up and chat. The food smells and looks good.
She has her own room and floor sensors during the night for protection.

from Gary C (Son of Resident) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I have always found the staff and all of the management to be kind, courteous and very helpful during the time my mother was settling into her new home. I have found the building to be very clean and mother enjoys the food however my mother has often said she feels lonely and does not feel she really

has anyone to talk to as most other residents do not seem to be able to communicate on the same level as my mother.

Myself and my mum are really happy with Wellington Lodge. The manager and all the staff are really kind and caring, always there to help when needed. My mum's been so happy with all her meals, eating really well, she has made friends with some of their residents, and I am so pleased that the home smells

lovely and is spotlessly clean. A few of the carers are extra special to us, and we will never forget them. Thank you.

My mum has been in Hatton Grange for over 2 years now, and in all that time she has been very settled and happy. I look forward to seeing her because that's exactly what I want for her. The staff who work there are so caring and make time to include the residents and visitors. (There is always a cup

of tea and biscuits available!) It has been such a relief to know my mum is safe and happy.
