Abbey Dean

I cannot fault Abbey Dean. The staff are so patient with my mum. I've stayed several times for lunch at last minute and its always lovely especially the pudding. I love going to see mum, especially on a Wednesday when all the ladies have their hair done. It's friendly, homely, warm and most of all welcoming. The best thing we could have done was to place mum here, she has a better standard of life and we have total peace of mind.

The care provided by Abbey Dean has been excellent. The facilities and environment of the home are very family orientated - a real "home away from home". The staff provided a level of care that I was delighted to have had for my elderly father. They truly understand the challenges that old age, frailty and dementia can bring. My father was always treated with kindness and respect and most importantly he was viewed as an individual not just one of many. The staff always communicated with us in a very professional and very welcoming manner.

Abbey Dean care home provides a superb environment for my mother suffering from dementia. All the staff are a great team of compassionate, hardworking individuals, where all members from care workers to the chef and housekeepers all contribute to a very warm, friendly atmosphere that envelopes you as you visit. After much research and visits I was taken by the cosy atmosphere at Abbey Dean, also on my first visit was most impressed to meet the proprietor who was also on site expressing much reassurance of their standards, which I found to be completely accurate. I would recommend this care home for its warmth, cleanliness and fantastic menus where visitors are encouraged to partake in meals. Thank you all the staff at Abbey Dean for taking great care of my mum on a 24/7 basis.

Abbey Dean has been exceptionally caring towards my mother, always attentive and willing to listen. The home is always filled with laughter which really makes you feel comfortable when visiting. Nothing has ever been too much trouble.
The staff and management have made what was a traumatic and difficult decision to put my mother in a home, into an easy transition, offering advice and a friendly ear at all times. Mum is so happy there and as a family, we couldn’t be happier.
Thank you.

This is the second respite care period my mother has had at Abbey Dean in the past 24 months. This January, my mother was welcomed back with open arms by the very friendly care staff.
She settled in extremely quickly and has been very well looked after with all of her needs and personal care being handled quickly and efficiently. She has been delighted with the quality and choice of food and loves her special treat of a daily glass of sherry. Her health and morale has improved greatly during both respite stays and my family would not hesitate to bring her back should she become poorly again in the future.
A big thank you to all the staff for looking after my mother so well.
