We are blessed with an amazing team who support me and my family in every way.
Mum is surrounded by care that goes above and beyond in all areas.
We feel extremely lucky to have chosen the perfect setting for her. Each and every one of them should be recognised for their devotion.

We are delighted with the care that Mum is receiving at Colne House as a resident. The manager who manages Colne House has been so warm, welcoming and helpful, she really made Mum’s move so straightforward. The manager and her wonderful team have made Mum feel at home so quickly and we are so pleased with how she has settled in. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff who are always so cheerful and engaging. The home is beautifully kept and so much care is taken with the garden, such a lovely area to sit in. Mum loves the activities, with trips to the garden centre, art sessions and prosecco Friday! The food is very good and Mum’s room is super and with help from the team, it is all to her taste. We feel so grateful to have found such a caring environment for our lovely mum. Thank you to the manager and her team.

Colne House is a good home. We visited several in the area before selecting Colne House. The environment is very pleasant, the building is characterful, bright and airy and has lovely grounds. The staff and management are truly amazing and seem to genuinely care about all residents. My only criticism is that for most of the year so far the lift has been broken and this despite best efforts from the staff has impacted the residents. A 20% price rise during this time was very poorly timed and commented on by many.
Thank you for your response, Dad is a valued member of Colne House. Our staff work above and beyond to ensure all at Colne House are well cared for. Thank you for your patients and support during our challenging times.

My mother entered the care home recently and so far I cannot fault the care she has received. The staff are very caring, helpful and patient. They are always available to answer any questions we have. My mother has settled in very quickly. She is always clean and enjoys taking part in various activities on offer. She has a lovely room with great views. We as a family are very pleased with her care. Mum is not keen on the food.
Your mum has settled lovely into her new home. Mum has the most infectious laugh and is loved by all residents and staff.
Whenever I see my grandfather he always appears well looked after and comfortable. Staff are caring and considerate and this is demonstrated consistently during my visits. I currently live abroad and am grateful my visits are easy to acquire and appear no issue or burden for the staff or home.

Calista, it must be so hard living away from your granddad but we are pleased you can rest knowing we care for him here at Colne. Always such a pleasure to see you visit. You make your granddad very proud!

Thank you Melanie. How wonderful it is to have your dad here with us at Colne House. Such an amazing character, he has helped us just as much as we have helped him, always brings a smile to everyone's faces. Thank you for your and your family's support over the years.
So far the service has been excellent and my mother has settled in well. We are very happy so far with Colne House.

Sadly my father passed away in 2019 but my mother is still living here and as a family, we could not wish for her to be anywhere better. It really does feel like home. The staff have worked extremely hard through this difficult time and I hope they get the recognition they deserve.

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.
