My husband has been a resident here for nine weeks. I am impressed with care he is receiving from all the staff, and the same courtesy has been extended to me as well. He has settled well in his new environment and has no complaints!! They are willing to listen to both of us and have been most helpful
in every way. He always looks clean and well cared for when I visit. Often visitors have commented on the whole environment, how lovely it is and how welcoming the staff are.

The whole Team at Barley Manor went above and beyond from my first phonecall. They worked on their days off and arranged emergency rest-bite over a bank holiday weekend. Once safely at the home they provided amazing care and support and made a difficult situation easier to handle. The home itself is
spotless and in a fabulous location. Huge thanks.

My sister was in your care home for end-of-life care. I really couldn't believe how good everything was - it exceeded our expectations. Of particular note was the kindness, care and compassion of your staff. And this was right across the board from the very top down. Thank you. There was always a smile
and greeting even if I was just visiting and walking down the corridor. I am so grateful for all you did for my sister. Lovely atmosphere.
Reply from Lynne Elliott, Home Manager at Penhurst Gardens Care HomeThank you so much for your heartfelt review of Penhurst Gardens.

I feel so lucky that my Dad got to live his last months at Upton Mill. He received excellent care and all the staff were friendly, compassionate and caring and made my visits a pleasure with their happy and sunny outlook.
The nurses were all professional and kept
me uo to date on his health and any
changes in his circumstances and medication.
I would highly recommend Upton Mill to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.

Wiltshire Heights provided respite care for my Mother. She was very reluctant to use any respite service but the team at Wiltshire Heights made her feel welcome and all her needs were met.
The staff were amazing, going above and beyond to provide an excellent service. They were informative to me over
the phone on the days I was unable to visit. It was soon apparent the staff truly cared about the clients within the establishment.

My Mum moved into Cavell Park August 2024, she had just turned 71. She agreed to move in due to her needing 24/7 nursing care.
She lived as part of the Cavell Park community until the 5th May 2026 when she passed peacefully.
During her time there she was respected, cared for and during her last
week, shown such compassion and care which as a family was so much needed. The staff clearly cared for my Mum as we were not the only ones in tears.
Staff are not only just supportive to the resident but the family visitors too, I went any time day or night to see my Mum.
Mum struggled with activities due to her health and being younger than the average resident. But there is a large activity menu, cinema and small gym there.
The building is modern and fresh, a cafe for residents and visitors, a nice garden to walk around and a lovely bunch of cheerful people working there always happy to help.
I would recommend Cavell Park to anyone needing full time care.
Reply from Gemma Fryer, Home Manager at Cavell Park Care HomeThank you for your heartfelt review. We're deeply sorry for your loss and grateful that our team could provide the care and compassion your Mum needed. Your kind words mean a lot to us. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything in the future.

The staff at Wiltshire Heights were all very welcoming when we moved my husband in. They were also very sympathetic on what was an emotional day for us. Since my husband's arrival in Wiltshire Heights, we have been asked many times what more they could do, what more could they provide to help him feel
comfortable. We have been very impressed by the professionalism of the nursing staff, the care helpers, and by the friendly efficiency with which the home is run.
Reply from Charlie Osgood, Home Manager at Wiltshire Heights Care HomeThank you for your kind words. I am glad to hear our team have been able to support you and your husband through this transition.
