My husband unfortunately was only at this care home for a short time but the great care and kindness he received from all members of nursing and carer staff was of great comfort to our family.

Such a lovely Home, and very caring staff. Thank you for everything you did to make the last few months of her life special.
Thank you so much for sharing these kind words. It was a privilege to care for your aunt. Our team always strives to provide thoughtful, compassionate support and knowing it made a difference means a great deal to us.

Our first evening took place this week, and it was absolutely wonderful. The manager and staff went above and beyond-nothing was too much trouble. I provided a list, and they kindly sourced all the food, set up beautiful cheese boards and wine, and made sure everything ran smoothly.
We had music, singing, and dancing, and the atmosphere was truly joyful. Residents, families, my husband, and everyone involved had such a lovely time. The home created a caring, relaxed, and welcoming environment that made the evening very special.
These evenings will now be held on the last Thursday of every month, which says so much about how accommodating and caring the home is. A truly wonderful place with exceptional staff.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are happy that the first cheese and wine evening was such a success! It was a real pleasure to work with you to create a special and enjoyable experience for residents, families, and everyone involved.

Thank you for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure caring for your mum. You are welcome to visit us all at any time
I needed respite care for my mum but also realised she was nearing end of life at the Grand Age of 106. Our experience with the Care Home Team to get her into the home was really good, they were kind, understanding and we dealt with the paperwork really well and my mum was admitted the next day....
We are grateful to the Summers for their help during this time, they were so kind, caring and considerate to our every needs as well as my mums. Thank you xXx
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind and thoughtful words. We're glad to hear that both you and your family - as well as your mum - were well cared for. Your compliments will be passed on to the team.

My father was a resident of the Summers for only a short time but during his stay he was treated with dignity & respect by all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for my father & my family whenever we went to visit. I only have positive things to say about the staff, their professionalism, empathy & genuine care they showed my father. I will never forget how my father & I were treated. Thank you to all the staff!
Thank you for your kind feedback regarding the care your relative received while he was residing at The Summers. We are glad to hear that you, your family, and your loved one had a positive experience.

Mummy entered The Summers after a long spell in hospital and it was like a breath of fresh air. She was welcomed to 'the family' and treated with love, care and respect during her short time there. Unfortunately, she died after only two months but the care and love was unfailing and I am so happy that she could be safe during her last weeks. Thank you to all the staff for everything.

My nanny has been at The Summers from August this year, she is happy, stimulated and very well taken care of. She was in a home before and we see a very different Nan now, all for the better. Her room is amazing and they all can't do enough for her and us as a family. The manager is absolutely lovely, my nan adores her, nothing is too much trouble, real hands-on, such a different experience from the last home.
Dear Jayne, thank you for taking the time to provide us with a review. We are very pleased to hear of your positive experience at The Summers.

My mother-in-law has been at The Summers since December 2022, I have always found her happy, clean and well cared for whenever I go and visit her, she enjoys sitting on the balcony in the summer months and she also loves her meal times. They recently got a new activity coordinator and she's really enjoying doing group activities in the afternoons, the staff are amazing and all so helpful and caring, we couldn't be happier with Mum being at The Summers. And the transition of the new staff member being the manager has been seamless and she's doing a great job.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback regarding the care and staff at The Summers. It makes us feel so proud when a resident enjoys residing with us.

My Father has been at The Summers for just over a year and we are all very happy with the care he receives. The staff are amazing and will always go above and beyond to ensure that Residents are fulfilling their full potential when it comes to the care package and activities in place. The interaction he receives from the carers and other Residents makes him feel important and valued. The home ensures he retains his dignity. I would highly recommend The Summers.
My husband has been in The Summers for nearly a year, and he is very happy there, and the staff like him. His behaviour was challenging at first, but they soon worked out strategies to cope with him. All the staff are very caring and kind to him and me, and the reception staff and managers are...
My dog is allowed to visit The Summers, both staff and residents enjoy seeing her, and I take my husband out 2-3 times a week for a walk. Birthdays or Christmas can be celebrated with your family in one of their lounges. Nothing is too much trouble.
I would like to thank The Summers for looking after my mum so well she has always been really happy here and the staff do a fantastic job. Activities, food, drink, and staff care are excellent. I could not wish for Mum to be in a better place.

They have a lot of fun activities for the residents that are able to participate, they also do exercises. They have a family group page for family members to see photos of their loved ones doing some of the activities. And in the warmer weather, the garden is used a lot. My uncle is very happy at The Summers care home.

I have visited my friend 5 or 6 times now. I have been made welcome by the staff and whenever they have called into his room they have been extremely helpful. My friend's state is physically challenging and I respect the staff for how they respond to this. I wish there were more activities for him to join and more therapy for him but I understand there are not enough staff. I do think more effort could have been made to get him a wheelchair which would have enabled him to move around. It was not until we employed our own physical that he was hoisted onto a chair until then he was bedridden.
Thank you for your feedback I'm sorry you feel more effort could have been made to get him a wheelchair but he was referred for a wheelchair but this was declined, he did have one-to-one activities in his room as he is anxious to come out he likes to sit in his chair in his room but can only...
Thank you for your feedback I'm sorry you feel more effort could have been made to get him a wheelchair but he was referred for a wheelchair but this was declined, he did have one-to-one activities in his room as he is anxious to come out he likes to sit in his chair in his room but can only tolerate this for a couple of hours and do not always tolerate this daily we will take this feedback into consideration moving forward.
I visit my brother on a regular weekly visit. He is looked after really well. He is now in bed all the time but the carers look after him, feed him etc. He is happy there and has lived there for 6 years with Alzheimer's. I am made very welcome and can visit or call the care home anytime night or...
I visit my brother on a regular weekly visit. He is looked after really well. He is now in bed all the time but the carers look after him, feed him etc. He is happy there and has lived there for 6 years with Alzheimer's. I am made very welcome and can visit or call the care home anytime night or day. When he was capable he joined in with the activities and watched movies in the cinema room.
Everyone is very helpful and caring, comfortable, friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Residents are really looked after well and have good relationships with the carers etc.
