Overall Experience

I have been very impressed by the number and kindness of your staff and for the wonderful craft on offer and the amazing outings. However, I am worried that some of my friends clothing has gone missing in the laundry. Coast Care Centre is FAR TOO HOT and really think the heating could be turned down, but still keep the residents, who are imobile, warm enough! Think about it!

Overall Experience

Our experience of Coast Care Centre is extremely positive. All the staff are friendly, helpful & able to answer any questions we have. We have observed staff give genuine care & support to residents, some of which can be challenging. Janice (activity staff) goes the extra mile to get residents involved & engaged. Carer Ash stands out as an asset to the team.

I have only visited my brother weekly for five weeks and have been impressed with the friendly staff. I myself had an injury and was treated and entered into the accident book. My brother initially improved but subsequently had a fall and he has now deteriorated. A good place to be looked after.

Overall Experience

We have been very happy with how my Mum has been cared for. At all times the staff & management have been very approachable and more than willing to help with any queries we have had. The staff are aware that my Mum is very anxious & it has been observed that they are very attentive when we are leaving.

Review from E M (Relative of Resident) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Overall the home seems pleasant. Staff are friendly. Helpful if you ask a question. Downside is I experienced a resident having to wait over an hour to use the toilet because she needed to be hoisted and the staff member that could do this was on their lunch break. When I left the resident was still waiting. Not acceptable in my opinion.

Overall Experience

I only know the resident through our church family roll. She is a widow with no family & few friends, as she tends to be rude to people. I have taken her shopping & on days out for more than 10 years, but she is not at all appreciative. Your staff have a lot to put up with!

Reply from Poppy Bellchambers, Executive Head of Outcomes and Placements at Coast Care Centre

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the support you've given over the years. We understand that every resident is unique, and our team is committed to providing care with patience and compassion. We appreciate your recognition of their efforts.

Overall Experience

From the very first visit, I found the staff to be caring, friendly & passionate about their patients & work. The atmosphere within Nightingales is warm & friendly. My sadness is that my friend was not there long enough to enjoy this fully. I was, however, glad that she was able to stay there where she was cared for with love & dignity. Thank you all.

I have only visited three times, but I am quite impressed. The staff are lovely. If I was a patient, I would be very happy to be looked after by the staff. It's nice to see the patients being kept active and amused. Apparently, the food is very good. Overall, a very nice, caring place.
