The Vale Care Home

from V W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Sirajali Panjwani, Director at The Vale Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt and thoughtful review. We are truly delighted to hear how happy you are with the care and support your father is receiving.
Our team works hard every day to ensure residents feel safe, respected, and well cared for, so your kind words about their professionalism, compassion, and approachability mean a great deal. 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.
We understand how difficult and emotional the transition into nursing care can be, and it is reassuring to know that our team has helped make this experience supportive and positive for your father and for you. 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.

The Vale Care Home

from R D (Friend of Resident) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was in hospital for two weeks & l don't remember going in. My sister said l nearly died. They now have a clinical nurse called Jane which is better. My lens from my broken glasses were saved in the glasses case but was taken away & can't be found so Leanne said said because they weren't bought from
the visiting opticians, they won't be replaced which is unfair.
Reply from Leanne Pierce, Manager at The Vale Care HomeDear Aaron,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear your thoughts on the recent changes at The Vale Care Home.
Im pleased to let you know that your lenses have been found and have now been handed to you personally. Were sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and are happy we could resolve this for you.
Your comments help us continue to improve the care and support we provide. If theres anything more youd like to discuss, please dont hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards, Leanne Pierce Manager, The Vale Care Home

Just wanted to thank ALL staff for their amazing work and care in a very demanding 24 hour job.
Dad has been in the cedars for over 3 years now and both dad and myself feel part of a large family. He has had a couple of challenging weeks with poorly tummy due to his conditions and the staff have gone
above and beyond to look after him as with his dementia doesn't understand.
I can't thank everyone enough for doing a job that not many could face and so so grateful for his care and my peace of mind.
Thank you H

Vale Care Centre's strength is its winning team which I call the 'Angels of Mercy.' Dedicated and passionate team players with a vocational calling. It's reassuring that my Sister is in such capable and caring hands. From recognising requirements by placing her in a bigger room appropriate for her
needs and understanding her as a person.

The Vale Care Home

from H G (Sister of Resident) published on 17 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
As a family, we are incredibly grateful to the nurse, the support she gives my family member and us is both professional and endearing. She's an asset to the home and company.
Unfortunately, I cannot give 5 stars as I cannot say the same about all staff.
The ladies in the office are welcoming, supportive
and informative and the activities coordinator always wears a smile.
Far too often, when we visit several members of staff are sat in the dining area either on the floor or round the table, whilst residents' buzzers are on red. I'd spoken to the previous manager and it seems standards have not improved.
We do hope with a new manager coming into the home, job roles and expectations will be revisited and the staff that do work hard, are thanked. It would be a shame to lose the valued team members.
Please feel free to get in touch. My family member is very poorly and deserves the very best nursing and care.
Reply from Sirajali Panjwani, Director at The Vale Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about our nurse, the office team, and our activities coordinator. It's heartening to know that their professionalism, warmth, and dedication have made a positive impact on your family's experience. We will ensure your appreciation is passed on to them-they are indeed valued members of our team.We are equally grateful for your honesty regarding the areas where you feel improvement is needed. Your observations about staff attentiveness and response times are deeply concerning, and we take them very seriously.With the arrival of our new manager, we are actively reviewing roles, responsibilities, and expectations to ensure that every team member is aligned with our values and commitment to excellence. Your family member's wellbeing is our utmost priority

Our mum was 100 in March and staff went above and beyond to make her day very special they decorated her room and the corridor with banners photos and balloons. All the residents sent her cards and all staff did to. The chef made her a beautiful cake. They made a post it board which all staff, relatives,
and residents all wrote on a fantastic idea. Even staff who were not at work came in to see her. Mum has been in Larches nearly 6 years now and her care is fantastic. Everywhere is always clean. She's always so well looked after. Our family would like to thank all staff for the care they give our mum. Great management team to.

Visited my father who is very demented, the building is clean and doesn't smell. The staff are all polite, personable and helpful. They have always presented in this way. My father's bedroom is clean, he was cleanly dressed. Our visit was not announced. The carers were totally appropriate in their interactions
with my father and myself.
Reply from Sirajali Panjwani, Director at The Vale Care HomeThank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback following your unannounced visit.

We as a family have found the care home very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble, our mum has made friends, and been able to feel part of a family. The only negatives I have are the home really needs upgrading it's very tired looking, also displaying menus they're not always on display personally
I think picture menus are a fantastic idea especially for dementia residents. The manager is lovely and comes and chats quite often which I find nice.
Reply from Angela Mason, Manager at The Vale Care HomeThank you for you feedback, we are currently working to improve the home 's dcor etc, we have an improvement plan in place. our menu's are on the board upstairs with a typed version and had written daily on the white board and downstairs is the same, we have picture menu's already in place, we put pictures on the white board upstairs of the food for that day for our dementia unit. we have already had significant improvements made to the home over the past year and will continue to do so

The Vale Care Home

from Nat T (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Currently my dad resides at the vale. He needs full care as his body no longer functions due to his Parkinson's and other Parkinson related illnesses. However, he is sound of mind, enjoys being grumpy, says what he thinks and quite stubborn at times too! But the staff understand that, don't take
offence and actually take the time to talk him round! They bend over backwards trying to make his meals varied despite his strict soft food diet and the chef even sits and goes through menus with him.


They have regular entertainment and activities, celebrations and events. This week he had his birthday and they spoilt him with a tea party, full decorations and food. It was wonderful.


His room has been freshly decorated and is always clean, the home is always warm and never seems to have a smell (which others can do) nothings too much trouble.


I would definitely recommend and we're so pleased he went on respite there as they gave him the care that made the transition to full care easier

Reply from Angela Mason, Manager at The Vale Care HomeThank you for your review, this means a lot to us as a team, we will always go above and beyond to ensure our residents and family are happy.

My mam is happy and safe which is priceless to me. She is a bit fed up of the sausages for lunch but they are ok if really well cooked. Her room is clean and tidy, we are still waiting for a second call button in her room. The staff are really caring and friendly and cannot do enough for her. The manager
is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very approachable.
Reply from Angela Mason, Manager at The Vale Care HomeThank you very much for taking the time to complete a review of our home; your loved one is always involved in choosing what they would like to eat, we also hold residents meeting with the kitchen staff to review the food and make suggestions of what they would like to see on the menu, we have plenty of choices. The call bell has been ordered and will be fitted ASAP. Please feel free to speak with me for an update as you know my door is always open.

I have dealt with The Cedars through having both my father and two aunties as residents. I found being a purpose-built home in an excellent central position, easy for visitors to get to was an excellent choice. The staff were brilliant, senior management and admin were very efficient, the entertainment
team provided many activities for residents while the care staff were both friendly and caring. In my opinion the best care home in the area.
