My mother has been a resident at Old Alresford for 5 years, and she is well looked after. The staff are very caring towards her and treat her with dignity, respect and care. I would certainly recommend the home to friends and family.

I have nothing but praise to give to Arlesford care Home. The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and professional at all times. The atmosphere is warm and cosy! The relationship between staff and residents is lovely. Both night and day staff work extremely well together and their skills are of a high standard. Management is very good, extremely friendly. My father is very settled and is well liked I believe. It is nice to see him interact with all the staff and other residents.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Richard S (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 4 November 2015. Relates to October 2015.
We looked at many care homes before placing my mother in care. When placing mother in a care home (the first) it seemed okay but after 2 months she wasn't happy so we continued our search. Out initial sight of the Old Alresford Cottage was very favourable and after 10 mins walkabout we felt very good about it. There is a genuine honest feel about the home and after mother has been cared for here for two and a half years they have earned our trust and friendship with the home and each carer and some residents.

My mother (now 97) came here in august 2014 after being in another home. This home is first class. The care, concern and attention given to all residents is a joy to see. The staff are full of kindness, the professional yet compassionate approach from the manager to the maintenance guys leaves me with the peace of mind that mum is in the best hands. My mum was an isolationist when she arrived, wanting to spend much of the day in her room. Encouragement and activities made her a happier person within 3 weeks. Mum is now coming to the end of her life but the palliative care here is second to none. This is a superb place.
