Scotch Dyke

My mother-in-law has been helped to settle well into the Scotch Dyke and has told us over the last 12 months how happy she is there. The staff are fun, compassionate and respectful. It always feels busy and lively in the communal areas and peaceful in the private rooms and gardens. She has really benefitted from having the choice to mix or read quietly. It replicates her life at home to some extent. She still sees her friends and neighbours routinely, they are welcomed with open arms as they arrive. The team are amazing which is lead by a manager who oozes experience and has been there for many years (rare). She enjoys the food, activities and communal time and for that my mother-in-law has gone from strength to strength. The family can only thank them for everything!

It is a happy, caring home and one that I would be happy to live in, if and when the time comes.

Our Mum has been at Scotch Dyke for almost a year now. She is always very happy when we visit. She is well cared for and enjoys the friendship of the staff. We can verify that the food and menu is amazing as we have stayed for lunch several times. Mum enjoys the daily activities and especially has enjoyed sitting in the garden during the summer months. As visitor's we are always made very welcome with refreshments. Even from our very first visit we have always enjoyed the warm and friendly atmosphere.

We feel very fortunate to have found Scotch Dyke for our father.

We have found Scotch Dyke Care Home to be safe and welcoming which gives our family peace of mind knowing she is so well looked after.

I'd recommend you visit - there is a special feeling when you walk in the door!

All of the carers at Scotch Dyke are just amazing. Professional, kind, caring. They make all the difference. The manager is very experienced and has the home well organised and well under control. She is friendly and caring, and that attitude flows down through all the staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending Scotch Dyke as the very best environment for your loved one. They would be in the best of hands in my opinion.

I have always been very happy with the care my mother has received by all the staff. She is well cared for, well nourished, always clean and tidy. All her medical needs are met and staff are quick to request a doctor/nurse visit when required. I am kept informed of any concerns/changes, staff treat my mother with kindness and respect and I am always welcomed.

All the staff look after mums needs with great consideration and dignity.

Scotch Dyke prepare and cook all meals and can provide meals suited to all tastes and dietary requirements. They bake a birthday cake for each resident's birthday and make their birthdays a special occasion for them. If I ever have to go into a care home I hope I can find one near to where I live which provides the same excellent service. I wish the home well.

I would 100% recommend Scotch Dyke as a wonderful, caring care home.

We were given a personal recommendation for Scotch Dyke and family members independently visited the home. All were immediately impressed by the home: by its ambience, the excellent state of the house and gardens but most of all by the staff. This positive impression continued throughout my mother's stay. Her room was very pleasant, and she was able to move rooms at one point during her stay. The food was excellent, and plenty of tea and cake were offered to family and visitors! The communication between management/staff and ourselves was excellent. All the staff, without exception, treated our mother with the utmost kindness and respect throughout her stay. Whilst she did not engage in some of the activities offered, all the staff were happy to talk and listen to my mother, and they developed a very good rapport. The home is clean and well-maintained. The family felt reassured that our mother was in such a caring environment.

The home is clean, Mum's room is wonderful, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It is full of smiles, laughter and love. I have 100% trust in the care provided and am so grateful for the peace of mind they have given me.

They do everything to accommodate my mum and us. We cannot praise this care home enough.

Scotch Dyke is a magnificent care home, the manager and all the staff looked after my mother extremely well for 3 years and the whole family had 100% trust and faith in the care provided and always had peace of mind. All essential concerns, i.e. drinks and emergency bell being to hand for the resident was ensured and the bell was always answered within a couple of minutes. The staff always kept the family informed when an necessary and never hesitated to call for a doctor if needed for which I am grateful. The food was nutritious and tasty and entertainment provided. My mother and I would like to thank all the staff for all they did for her.
