Marita and her team are kind, caring and compassionate to my grandad. He loves living at the home, he treats it just like a 5 star hotel.
I like to thank Morita and every member of her staff for keeping a lovely home always smelling nice and clean. The food is amazing and everybody is so caring, professional and nothing is much of a problem.
My uncle is so happy at the home, he looks so well now. I really recommend this home, its professional, friendly, clean and caring.
My brother always gives a positive praise about the manager and staff. He loves it here, he calls it home, and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
My brother-in-law is extremely happy at Cumbria House Care Home. His health is a lot better now. He would be happy to stay there for the remainder of his life. I can't recommend it enough.
Reg is happy in his care home. He is well looked after. His health is monitored well and he feels safe and happy.
Since my mum was placed in this lovely home, we have all been extremely satisfied with all the superb care and attention that she has received. The staff including the manager are exceptionally kind and have made sure that mum is comfortable, clean & tidy and happy. Nothing is too much trouble. Her room is lovely and warm and always looks nice. It has taken a weight off my mind to know that she is in a 'home from home'. Thank you to all the staff for looking after mum so well.
The visits to our friend were very warm friendly and the home is always very clean & staff very welcoming.
Although I do not like being in a care home and would have preferred to stay in my own home, I knew that was not possible because I was always falling over and forgetting things - cooking, cleaning etc. My wife chose Cumbria House and I think she has picked one of the best in the area.
The home has a very relaxed, friendly environment. It is well lef by managers who are open and welcoming. Care, compassion, kindness and commitment was shown by every member of staff. My mother was always treated with dignity and respect. The home was always clean and tidy. Families are made welcome at anytime, always greeted as friends and offered refreshments. I can thoroughly recommend Cumbria House for the care of loved ones.
This is a wonderful home, the staff are amazing and incredible. The cleanliness and smell of the house is extremely pleasant. Best of all the management of the home is the greatest of all. I love the home and I am willing to stay here until my dying day.
Cumbria House Care Home is a wonderful place. So much care and attention and all the staff are excellent. My dad is very happy at the home. 10/10
The happiness in this home was infectious! The staff, residents and their families were very well catered for and entertained.
My family and I look forward to the Christmas party!
Very happy here, well looked after. Staff and management are amazing, very caring and professional. I am happy all round.
Her room is spacious, cosy, and well-maintained, while the communal areas create a warm atmosphere. The visitor lounge makes spending time with family easy and enjoyable. Small gestures, like greeting us kindly and offering a drink, highlight their dedication to both residents and families.
We're pleased with the care and environment at Cumbria House. Knowing my grandma is in such capable, respectful hands is truly comforting.
My friend is very happy living at his new home. The staff are very welcoming, he enjoys going back after a day away. His health is monitored very well which keeps him the best he can be in health and well being.
My friend is very happy living at Cumbria House Care Home. The staff are very helpful and the food is great.
From my mother's very early days of residency, there has been a huge change for the better. The atmosphere in the home is now very relaxed and friendly. All staff welcome me when I visit and offer a cup of tea. My mother is a lot happier, she frequently comments with praise about the staff. We as a family now feel confident about the quality of care now and in the future.
Attended a well-organised garden party. So much enjoyment seen on the resident's faces. It was lovely to see so many of the staff interacting with relatives of residents. Felt like a big family gathering.
