Dad has been at Dovecote for a few months now and the change in him has been incredible. He is so much healthier, cleaner and happier than when he was trying to look after himself. All of the staff are amazing and I actually enjoy going in to visit him.

Due to a bad experience with another care home in the past, good care homes are hard to find, so finding Dovecote has been a life changer for all of us.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review for Dovecote Manor. It's lovely to hear that your husband is doing well in the home. Kind regards

My Mum has been living at Dovecote Manor for two years. She feels safe and happy and I am so thankful that we found such a wonderful home. From the manager down to the carers, we couldn't wish for better care. The staff are always responsive to any queries or concerns I may have, and treat their residents with care and respect. Mum's wellbeing has improved significantly while she's been there, even while her dementia is progressing. The home puts on frequent and varied activities but I've also walked in to find a carer sitting with Mum just doing puzzles or reading with her, and I've witnessed individual care like this in the lounge too. This encouragement and engagement enriches the residents' lives incredibly. The staff are dedicated to their residents and enjoy the activities with them. My family is delighted and thankful that Mum has such excellent care. Thank you Dovecote!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is lovely to hear that you feel mums well being has improved. The team will be thrilled to hear your kind words about their dedication to enrichment and activities. We have some great events and trips coming up which everyone is looking forward to. Thank you for sharing your touching review

My first visit to Dovecote was 25.2.24 I visited today also with my son and I am still finding it surreal! The welcome I/we received was so valuable to me on the first visit especially as due to circumstances beyond my control I had lost touch with my birth mother and I was nervous. I was listened to without judgement, I was understood and reassured at a time when it was vital that I was. I could not believe how calming, genuine, friendly and welcoming staff were and most importantly how different the resident was in herself, relaxed, smiling and at home! That first visit, I had no idea what to expect and today was more of the same! it genuinely still blows me away! We are so thankful! What a professional, lovely, caring place!
Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. Hearing the impression the home and the team has left on you is very touching and we are so honoured to care for your loved one. We know it can be a daunting situation, so it's great to hear that you can see a positive change and that you feel she has settled in well. Thank you again for your lovely words.

My 96-year-old mother was admitted to Dovecote Manor in June of 2023. She has dementia and other health issues, including breast cancer and was unable to remain at home despite 4x carer visits a day. Although reluctant to leave her home, she has gradually settled in well. Staff gave her time and support to establish her routine. She now asks to join other residents in the lounge. I feel all her needs are being met very well.
Good afternoon, that's an amazing age of 96! Thank you for your lovely heart-warming review of the home. It's lovely to hear that you are happy with the care at the home. Kind regards.
My dad's care has been excellent, we couldn't ask for more from the care team.

I stayed at Dovecote Manor for a week at the end of July 2023 for respite care while my partner took a well deserved rest.
