I have been thoroughly impressed with the standard of care provided within the care home. Whenever I have visited my granpa the facilities have always been exceptionally clean and there is a great community atmosphere within the home itself. The shared living room is always a hit with the residents and there are frequently fun activities to provide the residents with some social satisfaction. The staff are truly wonderful and go out of their way to help support both my granpa and me whenever I'm there so I can make the most of my time with him. With my granpa's condition it can be quite emotionally tiring when he is having a bad day but no matter the challenge the staff are always pleasant and approach everything with a smile. The carers build a great rapport with residents and family members alike.

In October we needed to find 24 hour dementia care for my father urgently. Dovecote Manor Care Home was extremely responsive, efficient, helpful and kind in arranging for him to visit, assessing him and within a couple of days moving him in. The manager went beyond the expected call of duty in doing this and has been very supportive throughout this move. All the staff at the home are kind, professional, motivated and expert at caring for the residents. They always make us feel welcome to visit my father, and have been very sympathetic in helping us to deal with what has been a difficult time for us. The atmosphere at the home is cheerful and it is always very clean and well decorated and maintained. The rooms are a good size and the home is comfortable. My father enjoys the food, which always looks appetising. The activities seem very good and well planned. There is a beautiful little garden, now lit up spectacularly for Christmas. I feel very lucky that my dad is living there.
