I visited the Care Centre, initially to assess whether it would be suitable for a trial stay, for my father. The welcome was so warm and positive that I recommended it to my father. The building and grounds have a pleasant , country cottage atmosphere. The staff are attentive and professional....
If there was one thing I would change to improve the ambience it would be to replace the resident call alert with a bleep or pager.

My mum went into Loose Valley Care Centre for end of life. The 3 weeks that she spent there in a beautiful room was the best she could have even been in as it was peaceful and every member of staff from management to the cleaners, nurses, carers were excellent in their compassion and care for her in the time she spent there. I cannot thank them enough.

I have been well looked after by all of the staff who were kind, caring and friendly. Unlike most residents my single objective has been to recover to leave and go home. Loose Valley has enabled me to achieve my objective in less time than had been expected. I have been in a caring home during a very challenging time in my life. I have no doubt that the support and encouragement of everyone in the Home has contributed to my recovery.

My mother spent the final 12 days of her life in Loose Valley Care Centre looked after by the professional team of friendly and caring staff. As you enter the beautiful building the warm and friendly atmosphere greets you and you feel like you are walking into someone's home rather than a Care Centre. The team treated mum with such dignity and respect and provided a first class holistic approach to her care. We cannot fault any aspect of the care she received and highly recommend the Care Centre to anyone looking for a facility for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will be sharing your feedback with our team, who will really appreciate knowing that their care and dedication made a difference. It means a lot to all of us to hear such positive reflections.
Very happy for my friend to be staying in your care home. She gets support, care, treated with dignity. Staff and management are kind and you can see care for all residents. The standard of care, cleanliness, support for not only residents but family and friends is extremely high.

From the moment you walk through the door, you are met with smiling faces and a very warm welcome. Nothing is too much bother for any of the staff. Mum has only been in resident since November 2024 but already feels it is her home, she feels safe and is well fed and cared for. If I had had to choose a home for her, I couldn't have chosen a better one. (She was discharged from hospital to Loose Valley.) I have nothing but praise for the whole team. Thank you for looking after my mum.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted that your mum feels safe, comfortable, and at home with us. Our team is committed to providing the best care and support, and your feedback means a great deal. We're always here to support you and your mum in any way we can. Thank you again for trusting Loose Valley.
Originally, both my parents were in the home. Sadly, my mum passed away a year ago, all the carers and staff were excellent to me and my dad when this happened and my dad has continued to receive excellent care. My dad enjoys all trips out and the family fun-filled environment that's provided.

Placed in Loose Valley Care Centre after being discharged from hospital for bed rest due to no weight bearing on left leg. The home is very nice. All staff day and night are a credit to Loose Valley, nothing is too much for them. Treated with respect and dignity by all.

"I've worked at Loose Valley as Recreation and Well-Being Champion since October 2018, but before that, I worked in the same role at another Nellsar Home – Abbotsleigh. I also used to work as a Kitchen Assistant on Fridays for two years. I am so glad I work for Nellsar as they put everyone first and residents are top priority.
I've seen many positive changes and had opportunities to learn and progress over the years. Namely, my NVQ 2 Activity Leadership Course and the Dementia Care City and Guilds Course. Nellsar is like family and I feel like a valued member of the team; they look after their staff and operate an open door policy when needing to approach the Management Team.
My Manager at Loose Valley listens to my ideas and the whole team works together, supporting each department to make each day special. We pull together for special events and the armchair travel adventure "Around the World with Nellsar Cruises" was a great success throughout the Home. I worked with the Kitchen Team in creating fun themed menus for each destination, and it made me feel appreciated and listened to.
What I most enjoy about my job is the strong sense of teamwork and good communication. I take pride in my job and I'm always up for a challenge. I love being creative and have a passion for arts and crafts – it's where I excel. Designing backdrops out of cardboard is a fun knack I've honed over the years – give me a box and I can turn it into anything! So far I've made a pirate ship, a gondola, a caravan and a minibus!"
