How lucky we were to find Colne House for our mum to reside in. The staff are the most amazing, caring, empathetic and friendly people you could ask for. They cater for everyone's needs accordingly. Nothing is ever too much for them. The activities, celebrations and events they hold, they always go above and beyond and invite residents friends and family members to join in the fun. They treated our mum with absolute dignity and respect and were all there for her with us when she passed away in the home she loved. We have friends for life in these people, we will never forget what they did for our mum. Thank you all of you. Keep being amazing.
Thank you, we miss you all dearly, and can not wait to see you at our upcoming events. Mum was a huge character in the home and will always be remembered.
I visit my very dear friend about once a week. She's been here approximately 3 years and I must say how so very pleased I am with how all the staff are so very kind to her. When entering Colne House you are always greeted with a smile. So glad my friend is staying here and she always says "You...
Over the 3 years I've been visiting, the staff never really change, which makes me think they're happy in their work and don't want to move on, plus they all seem local. Thanks for all your help with my friend.
Such an amazing friend you are! Not only do you visit your dear friend but you have become a friend of the entire home, we love when you visit, bringing such joy and happiness with you. Thank you for being you.

We consider ourselves lucky that we found somewhere that Dad is so well looked after and we can be sure that he's happy, well cared for and doesn't need to worry.

It's a beautiful building and gardens with lots going on. I can't rate it highly enough.

Mum moved in on the 18th of September and has adjusted to living in 24-hour care admirably. The carers have got to know Mum's likes and dislikes and treat her with the greatest care. The Halloween party was extremely well organised with a notable amount of hard work put into it and was a great success.
Thank you for your kind words. The staff at Colne House work extremely hard to provide great person-centred care for all our residents. We always work closely with our residents when preparing the menus to ensure there is something that everyone enjoys.
Our friend seemed happy and looked well-dressed. The staff seemed friendly and caring. Our visit was a pleasant experience. We were given coffee, tea and biscuits. We went to see our friend's bedroom which looked cosy and comfortable.

On arriving at Colne House, one is pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the surroundings are. The gardens are immaculate with a large patio area and lovely garden furniture. The house is spacious and clean and each resident's room is pleasing to the eye. Even the windows sparkle. My brother has been here a year now and I cannot over-emphasise how good the care is. The staff are very well qualified and friendly and cope with difficult problems in a calm and positive manner.
Thank you for your review, we continuously strive to improve Colne House and the surrounding gardens. Staff are extremely dedicated to Colne House and all go above and beyond to ensure your loved ones are cared for in a person-centred way.

Thank you for your lovely review, my staff pride themselves on the care they provide. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Every time we visit I am amazed at the staff, they are so caring and thoughtful. There always seems to be something going on to entertain everyone. The outside area is lovely to sit out and enjoy. If you have to come into a care home, I am sure you would be hard pushed to find anywhere better.

Our mum become a resident of Colne House in June 23 which was a very tough decision to make. The house itself is amazing with beautiful grounds very clean and a happy place. We were invited to attend afternoon tea and events in order to get our mum used to the surroundings before she become a resident. This helped with the transition as Mum was already familiar with the home and felt welcomed from day one. The staff are very friendly and caring and provide the much-needed care and attention our mum needed. She has become involved with the activities which is amazing to see and appears very content indeed. We are so grateful to have found this wonderful home.
We are so pleased you are happy with our home, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to be person-centred, providing every opportunity for a smooth transition at this difficult time.

I had done domiciliary care earlier in my career and enjoyed it but was frustrated at not being able to spend enough time with the people I was caring for. After a decade managing a children’s nursery in Germany she returned to the UK and was attracted to working at Colne House because of the beautiful building and grounds

I joined the Colne House team in March as Deputy Manager, having worked in the care sector for 11 years, both in care home settings and domiciliary care. I have developed a deep understanding of person-centred care and am particularly passionate about medication management; I have a strong background in supporting people living with dementia. After working in domiciliary care, I felt drawn back to a care home setting, wanting to be more involved in residents’ daily lives. Outside work, I enjoy horse riding, hiking and knitting.

I have worked at Colne House for over 10 years as a support worker & cover senior, and have now taken the role of hospitality, I am looking forward to working with Victoria to achieve an outstanding rating. Colne House is a special place to work, the staff are very dedicated to their work and the residents love the family atmosphere. I enjoy socialising with my partner and friends on my days off, and volunteering at Colne for special events or taking residents on trips.

I worked in the motor industry before I joined the team at Colne House as Administrator three years ago and I really enjoy having the connection with all the families, staff and residents. The staff and residents are amazing and I am proud to be part of this beautiful home. Living in the countryside is lovely, outside of work, I enjoy socialising and walking my sausage dogs at local parks. I always enjoy helping organise and volunteering at the events for the home.

I have always worked in events and hospitality before joining the team at Colne House. I am looking forward to spending quality time with all the residents and learning what they enjoy the most. The atmosphere here at Colne House is warm and calm. When I am on shift, I feel like I am spending time with my extended family rather than being at work.
My husband and I have three young children, so being patient and keeping them busy and entertained is one of my biggest qualities. As a family, we enjoy playing sports together, and we often travel to Spain to visit my family, as I am originally from Barcelona.
