dignity. When we visited The Craven, we immediately felt that it was ideal for Mum. It had a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff and bright, spacious rooms. We were made to feel very welcome.
When Mum moved in, we knew that we had made the right choice . We were hugely impressed with the level of care offered, which was tailored very much to Mum's needs, the professionalism, skill, understanding and compassion of all the staff and the strong sense of community at the home.
We would like to thank everyone at The Craven for their care they provided to Mum but also to us, as family members, at a very difficult time.

nearing the end of his life.
Thank you.

of it all, ensuring not only the residents are happy, safe, and well cared for, but that all the staff feel supported, valued, and inspired to give their very best.
The home is spotless, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere warm, welcoming and full of life.
My dad was understandably nervous at first, moving into a nursing home is such a big step, but now he feels safe, loved, and truly at home. The difference it has made to him is remarkable: he is brighter, more positive, and rediscovering purpose and joy in daily life.
This is far more than a nursing home, it is a family where residents and their loved ones are treated with unwavering care, respect, and genuine warmth.

needs. For each issue the nurses came up with possible solutions and staff were very patient with her. We were impressed by the systems you had for monitoring all aspects of her health and well-being.
We all noticed the positive impact the Craven had on our aunt - we saw such a difference in her when we visited. She was so much brighter than she had been for months, pleased to see us, interested in conversations, responsive and as happy as we could have hoped for in the circumstances.
We always felt well-informed about her care and were warmly welcomed every time we came to visit. Although sad at her death we were all glad that she had spent her last few months in Craven Nursing Home.

sessions including weekly hair styling - all great for morale. All the staff are dedicated, highly trained, gentle and compassionate. Residents are treated as individuals, their likes and dislikes catered for and special occasions celebrated. Friends and family are made to feel very welcome when visiting. With the glorious weather this summer, my mum spent a lot of time outside in the beautiful gardens. I am so grateful she was able to spend the last 7 months surrounded by people who truly cared. I cannot fault them.

and dedicated. Cleanliness to a high standard, lovely home cooked meals and baking every day, nothing is too much trouble.
My uncle was extremely well looked after and cared about and that care was extended to the whole family. We were always made to feel welcome.
Residents are taken on trips around the local area which is beautiful and very well looked after and safe.
I would recommend most definitely Craven as a very homely, welcoming , comfortable, supportive, professional but also relaxed and calm place to live.

up with a diverse and stimulating range of activities and are simply brilliant.
In the last few days of his life, my husband received the best palliative care and the whole team pulled together to ensure we were both cared for, which made a difficult and sad time more bearable.
It really did become my second family and I can't thank them enough.

of the Craven NH family. We could not fault any element of dad's care and the staff could not have been any more professional, polite and friendly during the time before, during and after his passing. The building and gardens were maintained and cleaned to a very high standard and the food was excellent. We are so glad we chose Craven NH for dad and would highly recommend it. The best NH I have ever visited by far. A big thank you to the staff.

and never forget how kind you all were to us. Thanks again. I would thoroughly recommend this care home.

day before he died he had a shave and a haircut which made a huge difference to how he felt.
The bed was so much more comfortable and his room was very pleasant.
The family and I could visit as and when we wanted and refreshments were provided for visitors.
My husband was unable to eat or drink but the meals I was provided with were both appetising and healthy.
Unfortunately he was only in craven nursing home for a week before he died very peacefully while I was with him.
All staff then continued to be unfailingly kind, patient and helpful to our large family.

could spend quality time with her. We had 4 months in Craven before my mum passed away, during that time she was treated amazingly & so were we. Staff are like family to us and I will miss each & every one of them. We had mums last Christmas, Birthday & Mothers Day at Craven & the staff went out of there way to make each day special and filled with love & fun for mum and us. Her care was excellent and the nurses went out of their way to make sure mum had everything she needed. Mum passed away & we stayed with her & we were all really looked after. Mums care during her death was excellent and she passed peacefully, which is all anyone could ask for. Such a wonderful place with excellent staff

leaving her there much easier. We were always welcome to visit, make hot drinks, have snacks, and even join meals. The food was delicious, homemade, and perfect for the residents, which Mum loved. It was also nutritious, ideal for those in their care.
As Mum's health deteriorated, she passed away in the home. I'll always be grateful for the kindness and support of the staff during her final days. They helped us understand what was happening, took care of Mum's needs, and allowed me to stay with her almost 24 hours a day. The experience was better than I ever imagined for me and I hope for Mum. Thank you, Craven Team.

she would be agitated and her behaviour could be challenging but, without exception, all the staff were very patient and calm with her. Despite her severe dementia, they took the trouble to get to know her as a person, which meant a lot to our family.
The leadership team at Craven promote a warm and friendly, safe and supportive environment for all their residents.
Thank you for looking after Mum and supporting our family through difficult times.

of nursing, caring, kindness and compassion whilst also maintaining his dignity. It was a challenging time but the office doors were always open to offer support and advice and a friendly chat. The reception, caretakers, kitchen, activities team and laundry staff were all so very helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. As a family, we couldn’t recommend or thank Craven enough and I know my dad would’ve agreed.

always very friendly and welcoming too!
Any queries or requests are always dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home to anyone considering care for a loved one.
