The home is a wonderful place - as soon as you walk in you feel as though arms surround you in care.
We have friends who know other homes - but to us - Ivybank House is the gold class and staff here are real gems. Thank you so much to all of you.
I was very pleased with the reception I received. Everyone looks very happy while they work. Would very much use your services again if needed.

Ivybank House did my Dad the world of good. He was only in for 6 weeks and they made him 100% better. Everything about the home was fantastic.
The staff were all amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble.

Very caring and approachable staff. The manager and assistant manager were always happy to help with anything. Caring staff could not have done more to help my mum both when she first arrived and later when she became poorly. A lovely home with very good food. Would highly recommend to anyone.
