We cannot thank Seymour Court Nursing Home enough for the exceptional care given to our father. He first came for respite in 2023 and became a permanent resident from January 2025 until he passed away in January 2026. Dad loved the activities, friendly faces and superb food, and we were always warmly
welcomed. Staff treated him with patience, humour and dignity, supporting his independence and adapting as Parkinson's and Lewy Body dementia progressed. The nurses kept us informed and reassured throughout. Every member of the team ensured Dad was always clean, comfortable and well cared for. We are especially grateful to Scarlett, Amy, Cherry, Cheryl, Pasand, Jean, Brenda, Kath, Mariah and Jessie on nights. Seymour Court gave our father comfort, dignity and genuine kindness, for which we will always be thankful.

My father in law was a resident until his untimely passing. He was treated with the utmost care and respect but more importantly as a family member at Seymour Court.
The care in which he received was always exemplary.
At the time of his passing we as a family spent more time with him often staying
with him overnight and again we were treated like one of the Seymour Court families.
For Ayesh and I our time spent with the residence during the family evenings with food and cheer will always remain fondly in our memories and will treasure.
Marie Claire always made us feel incredibly welcome despite being on her own journey.
The nursing team always kept us up to date through every step in David's journey and no matter how busy they may have been we always felt listened to and that we were given their time.
The HCAs are very much the solid foundation of a well functioning team.
All in all we could not have asked for anything more from Seymour court during David's 18 month stay.

I could not fault the care and kindness shown by all staff, not only for my sister, but to myself and brother when visiting. Friendly, but not intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble in all aspects of the sad situation that we found our family in. Thank you to each and everyone at Seymour Court.

My mum arrived at Greenacres in September from hospital. It was a difficult and emotional decision for Mum and all the family to finally reach the decision to go into a care home. However, she has now settled in and feels safe at Greenacres and we can all now see that this was the right decision to
ensure the best possible care for Mum. She requires 24 hour care which the wonderful staff provide for her.
As her son it is very reassuring to know that Mum is safe and well and that her health and well-being needs are being taken care of by professionals.
I would just like to thank the amazing management team and all the dedicated care staff and support team for looking after my wonderful Mum.

The carers are amazing. They do these things so easy and dealing with the residents in a very tactful manner especially if they are difficult. Nothing is too much for them. Every time I visit I feel welcome there. My friend lives at Willett Lodge, she can be difficult but they manage to look after her
well. Very good team and manager is always there to listen if there is a concern.

Seymour Court is absolutely fantastic. The staff and carers are amazing, very caring, friendly and can't do enough for the residents. It's spotlessly clean everywhere, and the meals they do there for the residents are beautiful and cooked fresh on the premises. I would recommend this home, it's top

As Power of Attorney I had to make the difficult decision with Social Services to find a suitable Care Home for my friend. After an unsuccessful placement at another home Charlton House was suggested. We were impressed from the first visit and have found out initial favourable impressions confirmed
over the last 4 months. The overall quality of the accommodation is good, with reasonable sized rooms and good sized common areas.
The standout is the staff, at all levels, their thoughtful care for the residents is excellent. The good and caring atmosphere they create is also excellent. They make it easy to discuss the needs and best care for my friend. I cannot speak to highly of the staff team.
I must mention the activities that are organised on a very regular basis. They are so well done, are fun and stimulating. And demanding though that is, they also look to support the needs of individuals, including individual trips out of the home when they can.
Reply from Sarah Latham, Registered Manager at Charlton HouseThank you so much for your lovely review of Charlton House. We truly appreciate your kind words and the time you took to share your experience. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're delighted to hear your positive comments about all departments. I will make sure your feedback is shared with the whole team - they'll be so pleased to know their hard work has been recognised. Thank you once again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

Mum, at 93, went into Melrose in 2016 straight from hospital and to be honest, we did not expect her stay to be long as her health was so fragile. However, the excellent care Mum received from all the staff enabled her to not only recover but to thrive. Over the next few months her health improved
and she become interested in life again. The activities and homely atmosphere at Melrose, coupled with the consistency in staffing meant Mum was comfortable and content and that it is testimony to the care and attention she received. There were many instances where we could detail how Mum changed since she began her stay. It was amazing how she got involved in some of the events arranged. Although in difficult circumstances, it was lovely to finally meet the members of the night staff who had looked after Mum all through her nine years at Melrose. We cannot speak highly enough of these very special, dedicated people.

My father was admitted to Melrose in July for respite care for two weeks and as a result of the exceptional kindness and care provided he decided he wanted to make Melrose his home. Since being there he has thrived in every way, he participates in the very varied social and therapeutic activities
,enjoys the home cooked food and has his care provided by kind and competent care and nursing staff .Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff who all go that extra mile for the residents and their visitors. The communication via the Manager is again exceptional with regular weekly updates and Zoom meetings for family members who are not able to visit regularly. I highly recommend Melrose Nursing Home, as someone who has worked in this sector, this is by far the most outstanding Home I have encountered.
Reply from Liz Seymour, Manager at Melrose Nursing HomeThank you so much for this lovely review. We will share it with the team.

My dad moved to Melrose after a long stay in hospital and temporary care. Since moving here, we have seen such an improvement in his wellbeing. He is now more active and generally happier, I believe this is due to the care and kindness of the staff here. Lots of the staff have worked here for a number
of years which I think says alot. The place has such a homely feel and my dad says the food is good too! Â

The community at Melrose (carers, nurses and managers) have shown consistent kindness and care to my elderly mother. They are always patient and cheerful with her which makes a huge difference to her experience of life with Alzheimer's, and they have responded promptly to any concerns we have raised.
This
has not been an easy journey for her or for the family, but we have always felt strongly supported and understood by all the staff at Melrose.

My Dad has been at Melrose for 5 years and we have been very happy with the care he has received throughout that time. The home has a real family feel with very caring staff who know each resident well, treating them with dignity and respect. A variety of activities are provided throughout the week
including outside visitors coming in. The home is well managed and communication with the home is easy. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

My 102 year old mother has been a resident at Melrose for a number of years. Initially we thought it would be challenging to move her into a nursing home since she was a fiercely independent woman, but the staff played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth transition.
Melrose employees handle this very
difficult job with professionalism, patience, kindness and care. Over the years, my mother has been able to make friends because to a low staff turnover and she now considers it as her home. Excellent communication is maintained, not just with my mother but also with her family.

Mum has Parkinson's dementia. Mum needed respite care when my dad had a stroke. (This care started in May 25 - October 25 2025) Mum has been very confused and emotional often being very frightened by her night terrors. Mum believes her night terrors are actually real and needs a lot of support and reassurance
that she is safe. Mum and dad have been married for 71 years and to be separated from each other also took its toll on both of them. Throughout all of this the staff have been kind, caring and supportive with mum, we couldn't have asked for more
