Dad gets exceptional care, we have always felt he is treated as part of a family. Dementia is a cruel disease and to know he is living somewhere where his needs and mental health needs are met is highly important. The staff go above and beyond to make us always feel welcome. I am so glad the Kimberley has accommodated us.
The care that dad receives is amazing all his needs are met but not only that, he is treated with kindness and dignity all the time. This is dad's 3rd residential home and the care doesn't compare. We would have loved to look after dad at home, but as a family he feels he is in the next best place....

We would have loved to look after dad at home, but as a family he feels he is in the next best place. We consider the staff family, and are very grateful for this.
Our dad is so well looked after. The staff have always taken great care of him. You can tell how much the staff love him and its it important to us having someone look after him that really cares.

My father has been at the Kimberley since November 2025. He was moved from another care home. I can't praise the staff and manager at the Kimberly enough. The care and support they give to my dad and us as a family is above and beyond.

My husband has been in Kimberley Care Home since July 2019 and I have always been very pleased with the way the home is run. The staff are very caring and understanding, the building might be old but the care they get is brilliant. It is a very friendly home and you will have to go a long way to get this. I can not fault the home, they kept me informed with the covid 19 and now I can visit once a week. Unfortunately, my husband now has to go into another home as now this home is unable to meet his needs. It is going to be hard to find a home like Kimberley. There is always some activity going on, I know he is unable to join in but he is happy and contented and as soon as you go into the home you are always made welcome. It is heartbreaking to move him, but things change. I can't thank the staff enough for being so caring and understanding towards my husband. I will miss the friendships that I have made with all of the staff over the last two and half years.

When visiting I see the staff chatting and listening to the residents and most days there is some form of organised activities going on which residents/visitors are encouraged to participate in.
I always feel welcome when visiting.

I dearly love them all.
Such people from staff to workers are in my opinion the 'commandos' of civilian life. God bless them!
Special praise to the activities lady.
All in all wonderful teamwork.
Kimberley Care would be my choice if/when required.

Very pleased with the care Mum receives here, they made the transition as comfortable as possible and continue to deliver. Great team and very clean building.

The staff are so caring, always find time for the residents and it is no trouble if my dad has dinner with mum on special occasions I.e birthday mum always looks so nicely dressed when we see her so do all the other clients. I have no complaints at all. The managers always keep in contact with me when they need to. Dad views are the same as mine he is very happy with the way they look after mum.
The home is welcoming, clean very well run and staffed. The care provided is exceptional.
Relatives and visitors...
The home is welcoming, clean very well run and staffed. The care provided is exceptional.
Relatives and visitors are always made welcome by the staff. We have never experienced anything less than total professionalism and compassion within the home.
The activities provided are stimulating for the residents, and the extra musical entertainment and games are well thought out and appreciated by all.
The varied menus and the fresh food is of the best quality. Some of the residents requiring assistance with feeding were always catered for. The residents/patients have always been treated with the greatest compassion and dignity.
I would not hesitate in recommending the Kimberley Care Home, to anyone requiring the best possible Care for their relatives.
The care home is always clean, staff are very good at their jobs and they've always time for the residents, giving them cuddles and also reassuring them. How they care for them is very special. I appreciate the time and effort given.

About 3 years ago, following a period of 5 months in hospitals, Dad was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease and we were advised that we would have to find a care home to suit his illness. This was a difficult time.
We visited several homes in the area, but when we were shown round The Kimberley, we were immediately struck by the caring qualities of the staff. The knowledge that the owner and manager showed about the needs of the residents and their understanding of the stresses and worries of their relatives, convinced us to trust the Kimberley team with Dad's care. It has been his home for 3 years and we have no regrets.
Dad's physical and mental care has been faultless and although his condition is slowly deteriorating, he is always treated with respect and dignity. It is reassuring for us to know that with the inevitability of Dad's illness, he is in safe hands.
My mum has been well looked after at the Kimberley. The staff are always friendly and welcoming the home caters for all mum's needs and she has settled in well. It was really hard to accept my mum's illness, but the staff at the home have made a difficult time more bearable.

I have worked at Kimberley Care Home since 2016, when I decided to leave the hospitality sector and go into the care industry to support people with the challenges they face daily. I had no previous experience in care but wanted to make a difference to people who needed support to live their lives. I was given the opportunities to progress my career from a carer, to a senior, then a deputy manager. I obtained all my qualifications and became a deputy manager in 2020. I love being part of a caring team that makes a positive difference every day to people's lives.
