As my wife and I live some distance from the home and can only visit weekly we are kept updated on her progress ensuring that we know she is living in a safe, warm and caring environment.

The family came to celebrate their Mum's (nan's/mother-in-law's) birthday. The staff at Dovecote Manor could not have been more obliging and helpful. The birthday cake was special and we all had a share. The presents and clothes were of good quality and were well received. The wonderful staff went above and beyond anything the family could have expected. Birthday decorations, balloons, banners and cards were all first-class. Thanks again for a great day. I know my mother-in-law loved every moment.
Thank you for taking the time to send in such a lovely review and we are so happy you were able to share Mum's special day. Kind regards.
I am happy with all of my care.

My last visit to Dovecote Manor was prior to the pandemic due to living 3 hours away but I recently made the trip up to see my great aunt who’s been with Dovecote for some time now and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the home. I didn’t know what to expect as it’s been so long but all...
I hope they don’t mind but I took one of the cards as I left as I couldn’t leave without sharing how amazing my visit was. I smiled all the way home and can rest easy knowing my aunt is so well looked after.
Thank you very much for your lovely words for Dovecote and the team that work there. It is heartwarming to hear that your great aunt is very happy in the home. Kind regards.
What a great Jubilee party it was at Dovecote Manor. The staff did an amazing job and you could see the joy it brought to the residents, families and staff. A chance to use the lovely garden area - roll on the next event.

Since Mum entered Dovecote Manor in December 2021, she has thrived and has nothing but great things to say about the care she receives. The staff are amazing and the manager clearly knows how a good care home should be run. She always has clean clothes, is stimulated by all the activities and has put on weight. Mostly, she is calm and happy to which I couldn't ask for much more! An amazing team!
Thank you for your excellent review of Dovecote, it is really heartwarming to read such lovely feedback. Kind regards, Celia.
Everyone is so friendly. The carers are amazing and the office staff and managers are so informative and understanding.

I've listed myself as husband, although in reality we are divorced, but still close. My ex-wife thinks that we are still married. Since being welcomed at Dovecote towards the end of 2021, she has settled very well, is as contented as she can be and no longer asks when she is going home. For her,...
I've listed myself as husband, although in reality we are divorced, but still close. My ex-wife thinks that we are still married. Since being welcomed at Dovecote towards the end of 2021, she has settled very well, is as contented as she can be and no longer asks when she is going home. For her, acceptance of change is a big step. Care is not only being cared for but being cared about and a feeling of safety, both for the resident and for the family. The entire team are professional, kind and true carers. Clearly, Dovecote is well managed and this filters through to every aspect of the care provided. Their approach to safety during the pandemic has been excellent.
Thank you for your review for Dovecote Manor. The team members at the home will be very pleased to hear this. I am happy to hear that your ex-wife has now settled in the home. Kind regards
A very welcoming home where the focus is clearly on the residents, their needs and preferences. Whilst the care provided has to be personal it is always carried out with the dignity of the resident in mind. Excellent relationships with relatives of the residents are sought and maintained.

Thank you, John, for your kind review of Dovecote, it is a truly remarkable home. I hope all continues to go well for your father-in-law. Kind regards

My father became a resident at Dovecote Manor in 2020 during the pandemic. This was a very difficult time for our family to realise that he was no longer able to be at home, but everyone at Dovecote made the transition so easy. Since then Dad has settled well. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. It's so good to know that Dad is being looked after so well and is safe.

The last two years have been difficult and it has been hard not to see my husband. I visited today and found him in good spirits although quite frail. He is full of praise for the care he gets and I found him content. The manager, especially, is his favourite and they enjoy good banter. The team are amazing and supportive. I just need to sort out a new mobile for him.
Thank you for the kind review of Dovecote it is lovely to hear that your husband is happy in the home. He does indeed enjoy good banter. Kind regards.
I visited a friend of mine in the care home last week. She looked so well and the carers were very friendly and reassuring. My friend is gluten-free like me and she said the home were really accommodating and the food was lovely. Thank you also to one member of staff who made me feel very welcome.

Why when I pay nearly £5000 a month do I have to pay for toothpaste and shampoo? I am very happy that my husband is in the care of Dovecote staff, they are always helpful and caring.

Thank you for your review and we are very happy to hear that your husband is safe and happy in the home. We will contact you with regards to the toiletries. Kind regards, Celia
Difficult in Covid times. Why when spending £1000+ per week do we need to provide shower gel? Needs a haircut, not always shaved daily. The staff are generally very good and helpful.

She has gained weight, made friends and was chatting to us in her lovely bedroom. The care staff are amazing, and they have made such a difference in her life. She said she felt safe there and talked about the carers in such an endearing way.
Thank you for your review of Dovecote Manor; we are thrilled to receive this review. It's super to read that she is happy in the home and glad we can offer safe visiting now. Kind regards.
This home looks after my husband extremely well. He refers to the carers as 'my ladies'. He is so happy when I visit. He is well cared for, I am so happy with the service I highly recommend this care home.

Since becoming a resident at Dovecote his health and well-being have improved greatly with him gaining weight and becoming very settled at this wonderful home. The staff are very friendly and supportive to both residents and family.

She has gained weight and despite her dementia seems to be making some friends there which has not happened in previous homes. Her room is beautiful and we were allowed to bring in some of her things. You are all amazing. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words about the home. We were exceptionally pleased to hear that things are going well for your great aunt. Kind regards, Celia

We celebrated my grandmother's 100th birthday yesterday. Despite the restrictions due to Covid-19, the team at Dovecote Manor Care Home ensured we were able to mark this monumental occasion as a family in the garden. Nannie was made to feel extra special and so much thought went in from the team - even ensuring her nails were painted and hair done for the party. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Thank you for your review and we were very pleased that the 100th birthday celebrations went well. Kind regards Celia Hardill.
Fantastic. Organised my grandma’s 100th birthday. Nan is very happy staying here and the staff are great.
