Katherine House

My father was resident at Katherine House from the age of 89 until he died at the age of 93.
He was extremely well looked after by the staff. I was always impressed by all levels of management at Katherine House and he was very happy and fond of all the staff who cared for him.
His room was very pleasant and the home is set in a very attractive environment in a lovely part of the city.

An extremely supportive and understanding staff group, my experience is that ALL staff have a real care and concern for alll residents. A very individualised service offer. Communication with guardians nad relatives is brilliant. The range of activities is highly suitable for residents and the venue always has a cheerful and happy appearance.

I have three relatives/friends in care and have knowledge of the care available in several homes. This home stands out very high compared to all the others. The staff are attentive, caring and compassionate. This home has the advantage of being modern and well maintained, the rooms are spacious and the communal facilities are large and well kept. This home represents the best value for money of all the homes I have had experience dealing with. New people are made very welcome and settle in very quickly, making the adjustment from living in your own home to here smooth and stress-free. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katherine House.

Katherine House is exceptional. A modern two storey building, light and spacious with plenty of room to move about. Comfortable with spacious lounge, TV room and other function rooms.
Large picture windows providing good views of neighbouring districts and a well-kept garden for those who can mobilise.
The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable and all are ensuite. Meals are good and edible and staff are very kind and helpful. Entertainment and activity programmes are also a regular feature. Should I need a Care Home in the future I would not hesitate to move into this abode.

My mother spent her last three years at Katherine House
We found the home to be very well run.
All staff showed genuine kindness and care, to the extent that several felt like friends.
There is as much activity as the resident desires and warm human contact so that I always felt confident that my mother was as happy and safe as possible.

My mother has been resident at Katherine House for 2 and a half years. She has her own room with TV and phone, ensuite shower room and some of her own furniture. She has also got family photos etc. hung on her walls. The home is very secure - only one entrance- and you have to sign in and out. The staff are marvellous and treat my Mum as if she was their own mother. For a residential home, they go beyond the care you would expect. Activities are every weekday as well as a hairdressing salon, visiting podiatrist and the local shops offer a service too and newspapers are delivered. Food is good and served in their room or dining room.

My mother is so happy and content at Katherine House. The staff look after her really well- chatting to her and cheering her up. I visit mum 2/3 times a week. I am free to visit anytime and this is indicative of what a well run, clean, lovely place it is. I have never smelt that awful smell often associated with old people's homes. The staff take a pride in keeping the home and residents clean and looked after. During the week there are plenty of activities to stimulate and interest the residents. I would thoroughly recommend Katherine House to anyone who wants a well run, caring home for their loved ones when they are unable to maintain and run their own home.

Mama has been in Katherine house for nearly two years. I live overseas and am at ease every time I leave as the staff are all so caring and helpful.
I sometimes have lunch or tea here which is well presented and quite tasty. Only one time recently the expected fish fingers turned out to be a rather difficult to cut fish cake.... But mama enjoys her food and her weight has kept steady.

Christmas was very well done, with lovely decorations and the staff were really in the spirit. Well done all of you!

In the springtime and summer the outside terrace is lovely for the residents to get fresh air. Mama's favourite place. The surroundings are really lovely with all the trees in the background.

Well done also for the Daily activities, quite a variety although Mama loves her siesta !

Keep up the good work !

This is a lovely modern care home, set in a nice peaceful position, the staff are wonderful and the rooms are well appointed, this was Grans second stay at Katherine House, making our choice of home more easy, as we knew she would be well cared for by the very attentive staff.

My Father resided at Katherine House from October 2012 until his death in July 2015 and my Mother was there from July 2013 until her death in February 2014. Both were looked after superbly. I cannot fault the care they received or the kindness of the staff.
From the manager down all the staff carried out their duties to a high standard.
The cleanliness of the home, the catering and facilities are second to none.
I am so pleased and grateful that we chose Katherine House for my Parents final years as I know they were happy and felt safe.
