We can relax in the knowledge that our daughter is receiving the best of care . There is an open door policy and we can visit whenever we want.

in the room has made the room much cosier and not so hospital feeling - a very nice touch that the manager added recently. All staff, new & old, are always ready with a smile and love mum so much: we can tell! Thank you for looking after mum so well

my mother-in-law receives and would highly recommend this nursing home. We are so grateful for everything every member of staff does

compassionate, and follow his care plan and allow him to make choices. The centre is open 24 hours, so I can contact them at any time. The staff and manager are always available to talk about my Dad's care and any changes that may be needed to support him. The food is great and offers a lot of choice. They have daily activities set throughout the day to keep his mind active, and they have a beautiful garden where he can relax. They also have a specialist on-site mental health nurse who understands his care needs and is always available to chat; I don't ever feel a burden calling to ask for information.
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who looks after my Dad and gives him

team is evident by how well my loved one has settled and thrived in only a few weeks. He is eating better. Sleeping better. Although non verbal he is smiling now. There is a real dementia understanding here. The management are so caring and so professional. They will not let you leave with a concern or worry. They listen and understand what it must be like allowing someone to go into care. We are so lucky we have found somewhere where the residents are at the heart of everything. The nurse team are so invested in wellbeing. Even the ancillary support team behind the care and treatment are very special people. You will not find a more knowledgeable caring or professional home

about Mum continue x

whole family. I got really friendly with many of the care staff and reception staff. They treat all the residents like family, and it is clear that it is not just a job to them. The care in meeting my parents' needs was second to none, and it takes special caring people to do what they do. To them, it is a vocation, not a job. Big thanks to every member of The Forge Care Home for making my parents feel at home. They should all be proud and please keep up the excellent work you do, including supporting families.

during his last few days.

cleaners, carers, nurses, and activity team are a credit to the care home industry. Please be proud. Team always put residents first. The Forge really is a big family. We feel blessed that Dad called it home.

staff and reception staff. They treat all the residents as family. Thank you to each and every member of The Forge Care Home. We as a family will continue to support The Forge Care Home.

We are a large family and visited daily and every time we were welcomed (day/night), updated on Mum's day etc. and they talked to us, clearly explaining everything so we could understand. Before we chose The Forge, we visited a different care home and we knew The Forge was the best place for Mum! This gave us a lot of comfort from day one!

to my mum will never be forgotten.

It was lovely to see how the staff took time out to say goodbye to my mother prior to her passing. When my mother was at End of Life the staff went out of their way to comfort and care for the family who were there at that time, whilst at the same time caring for my mother.

mums last day, they were loving caring kind and much more to Mum. Mum loved them all. What a change in her, and we as a family, can't thank them enough. Wonderful home staff and food.

affect the staff at Leadon Court as they are great with my parents and clearly know them very well as Mum and Dad are so comfortable with them. Also the staff responsible for organizing entertainment etc. have to not just provide this but also raise additional funds through raffles etc. to supplement their small budget. They do this on top of focusing on the needs of each resident. Amazing. It feels like my folks have an additional family at Leadon and I can't speak highly or thank them enough.

Home 100 % and are so happy with the care and love Dad receives from everyone.

and relief to know that he is being cared for and that all his needs are being met and that he is safe and happy as I am sadly no longer able to look after him at home.
My best friend's mum is also a resident at Leadon Court and the whole family feels the same.
Would recommend this lovely care home every time.

but The Forge impressed me the most and together we decided this was the best for her.
My Mum had difficulty settling in at first but nothing was too much trouble for the management and carers helping my Mum to settle.
The Nurses even allowed her to 'help' giving my mum a sense of purpose.
She particularly likes the food, saying it is like the real 'home cooking' she used to make. A number of times she has commented just how clean and tidy it is without that smell associated with similar institutions. When she was fitter she enjoyed joining in the fun and games provided by the entertainment staff.
And thanks to the reception staff; nothing is ever too much trouble!
