My husband moved in last week and has settled in very quickly. All the family and friends that have visited this week have commented on how clean and airy the home feels. The staff quickly got to know my husband's care plan and medications were in place swiftly. The staff are all very friendly and approachable.
The food is excellent - all home-cooked and healthy but tasty!

All I can say is what a wonderful nursing home. I am. really happy with the care they provided. When I go in everyday to visit my father the staff are extremely helpful and do an amazing job making sure the residents are safe and they treat them all with dignity and kindness. Leanne and Julie and all
members of staff are very approachable and professional at what they all do.The residents are there main priority which is what you want to see. If you ever have any concerns they are dealt with in a most efficient and professional manner. The residents all seem to be busy doing activities with Sara the activity coordinator who involves everyone which is great to see. Nothing is to much trouble for the maintenance staff if we ever need help with putting aTV on the wall or door hangers up. I thank you all for making such a traumatic experience (Dad having to go into nursing care ) such a positive and supportive experience. I would definitely recommend The Vale your doing fantastic.

Leanne, Julie, Sara, our maintenance team, and all staff at The Vale will be incredibly proud to know their efforts have made such a positive difference to you and your family.

Your recognition of the activities, responsiveness to concerns, and the overall standard of care is deeply appreciated. Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in us.

My father has been at Aspen Lodge for a year now and I could not have asked for a better level of care for him. Kate and Sam, the managers of the care home, go on this difficult journey with you, they take the time to listen and help on a daily basis. They also remember the seemingly small things like
our family's names which really means a lot and shows that they care. The staff are incredible, my dad has lots of challenging behaviors which they handle with ease. They also remember small touches like, my dad loves extra butter on his toast and cream on his porridge, this really puts a smile on my dad's face. My family and I are so so grateful to Aspen Lodge. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones. Thanks so much to everyone at Aspen Lodge, love the us all
Reply from Katie Gavriliuc, Manager at Aspen Lodge Care HomeThank you for your amazing feedback, I will share it with the team. It is a privilege to care for your father and to get to know you all as a family. It means a great deal to the whole team that your father and yourselves are happy with the level of care. If there is anything more we can do, we're always here to help.

I can't thank the staff enough for the care and compassion and dignity that they showed my mam in the last few months of her life.
From the moment that she arrived it was clear that she would be in safe and loving hands.
Every member of the team went above and beyond, not just meeting her needs but
truly caring for her as a person. They treated her with kindness, patience and respect every single day and always made time for us as a family too, nothing ever felt like it was too much trouble.
Those final weeks meant everything to us and knowing that she was comfortable, supported and surrounded by such warmth gave us real peace of mind during a very difficult time. We will always be grateful for the love and dedication shown to my mam. Thank you for making such a difference when it mattered the most.

I was disappointed, if not disgusted to find that the resident cats had been removed on the whim of one complaint. The therapeutic effect of pets on mental health especially in the aged population is well documented and I feel that to deprive your residents of this opportunity for interaction and comfort
is nothing short of disgraceful. I sincerely hope that the person who was petty enough to make this complaint is thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
Reply from Sirajali Panjwani, Director at The Vale Care HomeThank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how much comfort and companionship animals can bring, and we appreciate that many residents enjoyed having the cats around. The decision to remove the resident cats was not taken lightly. It followed a formal health and safety review after a complaint raised issues that could have affected the wellbeing of several residents. As a regulated care service, we have a responsibility to ensure that the environment is safe, hygienic, and suitable for everyone who lives here, including those with allergies, compromised immunity, or specific medical needs. Our priority is always the best interests of all residents, and in this instance, the safest course of action was to temporarily remove the cats while we assess alternative ways to offer animal-assisted interaction in a controlled and safe manner.We genuinely value the positive impact pets can have, and we are exploring options that allow residents to continue enjoying therapeutic contact.

My mother in law was Orchard Lea , initially for assessment from hospital , and then wanted to stay there rather than another home . We had a short list , one of which was Orchard Lea , so agreed for her to stay there .
It was important for us that they could care through to end of life .
The care
she received was excellent as her dementia progressed . She made friends in the home and was well cared for until her death . The staff were caring , proactive and professional and sensitive at the end of her life.

My aunt + uncle moved into Wainfleet Care Home in Oct 2025. They have received the most amazing care and affection especially after my aunt passed away in December 2025. I'd like to especially mention the carer - Daniel - who accompanied my uncle to the funeral. It was his day off and he purchased a
suit to wear for the day. His care for my uncle that day was so kind, personal and thoughtful. Thank you.

Over the past 2-3 months your staff provided excellent care to my mum who was admitted with several severe pressure sores. Your staff did an amazing job and successfully treated them despite my mums severe infirmity. Sadly she passed away 3 weeks ago due to old age (90). Your staff were so loving to
my father who has been her partner for 71 years. I can't thank the carers and management. Even at the funeral several of your staff attended, including Daniel who provided exceptional emotional and caring support. The whole experience was an example to me of your devotion to residents. You have made a true home, from home. A big thank you!

My father was with Paula and her team from January 2025. From the moment he arrived, his needs were met by all the staff. If he didn't want to join in with any activities he didn't have to.
He really enjoyed his time outside helping with gardening activities until such time he was unable to do so.
The care and dignity shown by all the staff, especially towards the end of his life, was exemplary.
We never felt he was just a number, and the amount of staff who popped in to say their goodbyes to my father was heartwarming, and something we will not forget.

My father moved in to Ashville at the very end of August 2025. He settled very quickly and was cared for in a professional manor. Dad was suffering with advanced Alzheimer's and life was difficult for him. All of the staff were patient, understanding and so respectful towards him. I cannot fault them
in any way. Unfortunately dad is no longer with us but I know that during the final months of his life he could not have been looked after any better or made more comfortable than he was at Ashville. The staff were always wonderful with us as a family also. Nothing was ever too much trouble and were were always greeted with a smile and cup of tea when visiting. If Dad could have chosen a home himself I'm sure he'd have picked Ashville.

Mam moved to Ty Mawr in July 2025. The manager turned it around and mam moved in with very short notice.
Mam is bed ridden and needs 24 hr nursing care but she looks well, is very comfortable and well cared for.
The staff are wonderful, friendly and have worked here for many years offering years
of experience but more importantly they actually care. They ensure each resident receives the care, compassion and attention they need.
Home cooked meals are delicious and plentiful.
Lots of tea/coffee too.
Ty Mawr have new owners and they are injecting the much needed uplift, improving the character, comfort and familiarity for residents. This work in progress has been thoughtfully planned to please and stimulate the residents and provide that very sense of belonging.
