Over all time Abbotsford has 12 reviews.
She was placed there with the intention of us placing her into a home of our choice.
She was there from Nov 25 until Feb 19th 26.
We always had a particular place in mind.bit due to not getting a social worker until the 5th of Feb 26.
made it very distressing because of lack of commutation by the council concerned.
Abbotsford was more helpful towards our situation than the council social worker's team.
Abbotsford is a good place, perhaps with a little improvement it will become a great place.
The accommodation is comfortable and welcoming with spacious communal areas and the large garden is interesting, beautiful and well-kept with plenty of places to sit and enjoy it. Dad enjoyed the food which he reported to be consistently good. There are a number of regular activities and residents are encouraged to join in, although there is no pressure to do so. I have no hesitation in recommending Abbotsford.
My mother was very happy in the home. It did not feel like an institution at all but felt like a home from home. The staff were always pleasant and kind. The food was very good and varied. Mum enjoyed sitting in the garden which is beautiful. My mother enjoyed the musical entertainment and the quizzes, her room was spacious, well-appointed and very bright and cheerful.
Staff care exceptional. Management is caring and approachable. Homely surroundings and beautiful garden.
Mum was a resident for three years (she passed away in April 2019). Abbotsford is a small, family owned and run care home with a very stable staff team, many of whom have worked there for a long time. The environment is friendly and 'homely' not 'institutional' at all. We felt very lucky to have found this place for Mum, who was pretty mobile and mentally fit, but not able to manage living by herself given various health issues. The facilities are always clean and comfortable, and while not 'state of the art' as in more modern care homes, the staff are caring and dedicated and the owner/manager has a very 'people-centred' approach. We have no reservations about recommending Abbotsford.
Everybody at Abbotsford is very caring.
I thoroughly recommend Abbotsford, Moss Lane care home.
My mother received care in Abbotswood for the last two years, both daycare and a respite holiday admission. Throughout that time my mother was treated with great love and care by all the staff. The home is truly like a home. Every time my mother entered the living room she was greeted by name and made to feel welcome. My mother loved the food!
Nothing is too much bother and relatives are fully informed of all aspects of the resident's care.
My father was a resident for 8 years and at the age of 101 only moved because we as a family moved 50 miles away.
He is now near us again.
This lovely place is really a 'home from home'. It's a very warm, friendly, safe home. Staff are very accommodating and really look after their residents. There is a very large garden off the main spacious sitting area, with a summerhouse and a very well kept garden. They have a very good day to day routine with activities some afternoons. My aunt has been here for a number of years and is very happy there. I can thoroughly recommend this place.
The staff were very kind to her and she especially enjoyed the quizzes and sitting in the lovely lounge.
Abbotsford is a family run care home which treats all of its residents with respect and care. They are 'at home' rather than 'in a home' and the many long serving staff take time to get to know the residents and treat them well. My mother-in-law was a resident for four years and was sad to leave.
