My mum has been in Evelyn May House for 6 years she is very happy and classes her carers as her direct family. This makes her feel safe in her environment and comfortable. I have had no complaints and would recommend this facility.

I am always concerned as to whether there is enough conversation and activities for residents which can make their day and stimulate.

My father has been a resident in Evelyn May since my mother was taken ill in October 2015. My mother passed away in December 2015 and since then my father has been a permanent resident. My father has settled well and is happy at Evelyn May. The staff, food, care support and staff are all excellent and if I have any queries, the staff are always happy to assist.
My dad has a lovely room, with toilet and washing facilities and an excellent pressure mattress. He also has a pressure cushion for his comfortable chair. There is a resident hairdresser and a chiropodist visits weekly. Evelyn May is a well-run home and supports people and their families well.
My sister has recovered very well. If I have any issues with the care, they address them.

The foyer is always welcoming, with lists of upcoming activities. Always pleasantly fragranced, everywhere always feels cosy and clean, as is Mums room. Hair salon for those important treatments, great. Always a shampoo and set girl! Never easy to leave Mum after a visit, but we know she is safe and well cared for in Evelyn May House.
