I visited a resident in the home, my initial impression was that the home was stunning in its style and cleanliness, it looked like a 5 star hotel. There were plenty of helpful and friendly staff and all the residents were engaged in a dance session, it was lovely to see everyone happy and so engaged.
I was soon offered refreshments by the staff, which were all homemade and tasted lovely together with a freshly ground coffee. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed. I have visited many care homes in the past, and can honestly say I have never seen such a beautiful, well run home, it was refreshing and restored my faith in care homes.My friend is thriving and always speaks highly of the home and all the staff

We were recommended Place Farm and we are so pleased we were! My friend has been in the home since Sept and is settling in very well. As she was in a home that wasn't right for her needs. All the staff have been great and kind with helping her to settle in as it was a very stressful and anxious time.
The staff have got to know her so well so fast. It's a beautiful home and very homely and all the staff I've met nothing is too much when asked. I hope my friend will have many years living in this lovely home.

The Shelley has the most caring staff who all go above and beyond their daily duties. All get to know the residents personally and their families and make them feel at home and valued. I can't praise them highly enough. Both my parents have enjoyed living there and all their changing needs have been
met with kindness and understanding. The home itself is very comfortable, incredibly clean and very tastefully decorated and is like a boutique hotel. The residents are offered activities twice a day from excellent staff who plan everything to be interesting to the age group and each individual. Two chefs provide nutritious and very tasty food daily. I definitely recommend The Shelley.

The Shelley provided the best care for mum who was a little apprehensive before coming. However, she has had a wonderful time and actually is feeling quite emotional about leaving. She said they had a wonderful chef, and the staff were very attentive, even knowing when she woke during the night and
giving her a cup of tea.
She very much enjoyed joining in with the various activities and hopes to visit again.

When I arrived, I was as ill as I have ever been. Frankly, I did not know if I was going to make it at all. What pulled me through, apart from the underred grace of a loving God, was the kindness of the people. This is a care home where they really do care. You can have all the material comforts, etc,
in the world, but without real care for people who really need it, the outer conditions would count for nothing. I guess St Paul would have understood. At first, I could not even make the end of the corridor. Now I can walk down the seafront with ease. It'll be hard to go, love the place.

This is lovely modern care home. It has very good facilities for the residents. The rooms are a good size and more than enough for their needs. All new furniture etc. The staff are very helpful and friendly which makes them approachable. Would and do highly recommend them to anyone! I also feel that
the asking price to stay quite reasonable for what is on offer. The food is of good taste and well presented, good portions too!

A massive thank you to the manageress and all her wonderful team for the exceptional level of care they all gave our Mum . We initially arranged respite for our Mum to recover from radiotherapy and she was warmly welcomed by everyone. Our Mum felt at home in the beautiful surroundings and enjoyed all
the amazing hospitality and personal attention. Sadly after a couple of weeks we received some devastating news and our Mum's care needs changed almost overnight . The kindness and support our family received from all the staff was exceptional with the reassurance to provide continuance of care for our Mum . Despite not being registered as a nursing home Place Farm House went above and beyond to give our Mum the best possible care in her final days. The manager worked alongside the palliative care team and pulled out all the stops to meet our Mum's care needs which allowed her to remain in her homely surroundings for her end of life care. We are eternally grateful to everyone

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend Place Farm Care home enough. We had to make a tough decision on finding a care home for my mum while my dad was in hospital for 3 months. From the very start of walking into Place Farm, it wasn't like a care home that I'd seen before, it was more like a 5* hotel with care. The rooms
are beautifully decorated & have all the call buttons required & amenities. The staff were/are amazing & very attentive to each residents needs. One of the night carers was one of my mums favourite carers & a big shout out to her on how she was with all the residents. The manageress was/is also so lovely & even when I had a tough time over the whole situation, she was there with tissues, a cup of coffee & listened to my concerns about the situation I was personally going through, such kindness shown in such a stressful situation. All in all a lovely place for any resident & complete peace of mind for relatives, I can't recommend Place Farm highly enough. Thank you to everyone
