We cannot thank the whole team at Katherine House enough for the care, kindness and friendship they gave Grandma over the four years she lived there. From the moment she moved in, we knew we had made the right decision. The staff were incredibly caring, respectful and friendly, and nothing ever...
The final weeks were particularly difficult, but the team supported Grandma and our family with such care and compassion. On her final night, staff sat with her, comforted her and made sure she was not alone. Katherine House became much more than a care home

It was a privilege to look your wonderful grandma for those four years and enabled us to have a wonderful relationship with her family. Eric was the light of our lives every time he visited and became the home's mascot, enjoying his visits with the favourite pink biscuits and the having a sticker each time, we loved his visits. Most importantly you all became like family to us and always will. Thankyou for your lovely comments, we are so proud of our amazing team who demonstrate genuine care compassion and kindness.

My nan lived here for ten years and she absolutely loved it. The staff were incredibly kind and caring, and they looked after her with so much warmth and dignity every single day. Having good company was so important to my nan, and she loved being around everyone and having people to chat with. The activities team were brilliant at keeping her involved and active. She loved the 'Move It or Lose It' sessions and they always put a massive smile on her face. When she wasn't able to go out anymore, the staff kindly let us use the upstairs lounge so we could still have our family birthday celebrations together.They always made her milestone birthdays so special. For her 100th, they threw a huge party celebrating her life in America and her modelling days. Then for her 104th, knowing how much she loved her music, they even brought in an Elvis tribute act just for her. We are so grateful for the lovely memories, and we highly recommend this home to anyone.
Thankyou so much for your beautiful comments, we absolutely loved your Nan, it was a privilege to care for such a glamorous, amazing lady and to have your support from a lovely family. Our staff are so committed, kind, caring and incredibly compassionate we are very proud of our team so it means...

I'd like to take the opportunity to recognise how carefully and imaginatively the Katherine House staff are seeking to keep my Mum and all the residents as cool as possible in this hot weather. Older people do not easily drink extra or necessarily feel temperatures in the same way younger people do. My Mum has been well hydrated and invited to keep cooler where possible. There are plenty of fans all over the place. The staff are hot themselves and are managing that too. Thank you to you all.
Thankyou so much for your very kind review - it will mean so much to our staff they are being recognised. We all do what we can to ensure our residents get the best quality of care despite weather conditions.. We have an incredible, compassionate and caring team I shall pass your lovely review onto them, thankyou. Sue (Deputy Manager)

Everyone at Griffiths House gave my mother kind and compassionate care - always cheerfully and often with humour, appreciating my ninety eight year mother's wit and spark. I paid frequent visits to Griffiths House which is light, bright, modern and super clean - a relaxing and friendly environment. The staff were always keen to support me too, often making me a cup of tea and chatting about my mother. Also I can't fault the sensitive way the Home managed my mother's recent end of life.Thank you Griffiths for making a tricky time as smooth as possible. I would strongly recommend Griffiths House.
Thankyou so much for your very kind words, it means so much to our staff, they are so passionate about the care and support they provide always striving for excellence because they genuinely care. Thankyou for your support too and our thoughts are with you at this time
It's difficult to find the words to express the depth of our gratitude towards every single member of the team for making our mother feel so at home, loved and well-cared during her 4 years at Katherine House. The quality of our mother's health so improved during this time not only because of the...

My Mum was a resident at Katherine House for 13 months, moving in directly from hospital after suffering a debilitating injury related to terminal cancer. Having had her life turned upside down, she received not only the highest standard of care, but also reassurance, empathy and support from every member of staff. Within a very short period of time, Mum embraced Katherine House as her home and the staff became her friends. It was her wish to spend her last days there. As her family, we cannot express how grateful we are for the comfort and joy at times, that the team gave not only to Mum, but also to us her family and her friends, whenever we visited or had need to contact them. They could not have done more for us and quite honestly, should the need arise, I would be very happy to move in myself. On behalf of all the family, thank you Katherine House.
Your mother was an amazing, strong independent lady, we hold her one wish that she had in her last few days dear to our hearts
Mum moved into Katherine House over 3 years ago as we wanted her living close to us, and she could no longer cope with living alone. All the staff there have been wonderful - so professional, caring and friendly - particularly in the last few difficult weeks. In fact, we felt that everyone was...
Mum moved into Katherine House over 3 years ago as we wanted her living close to us, and she could no longer cope with living alone. All the staff there have been wonderful - so professional, caring and friendly - particularly in the last few difficult weeks. In fact, we felt that everyone was taking care of us as well as Mum.
We looked at several other care homes before choosing Katherine House, and are happy that we made the right choice. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is seeking a home for their loved one.
Thankyou for your kind words, it was an absolute honour and privilege to care for your mum and to support her loved ones, as we class everyone as family. Our team are so dedicated and compassionate and we pride ourselves on the care and support that we provide, thankyou again for your very kind words

Our family's experience of this care has been that all staff at all levels demonstrated kindness, respect and love for our mum from the moment she joined the home. Katherine House is a beautiful, calm and tranquil home that felt from the moment of our first visit to be the perfect fit for our mum, and has always been warm and welcoming to all of the many members of her family.
Katherine House' greatest asset is the people who work there. All staff we encountered were always highly professional and this clearly reflects the highest quality of recruitment, training and leadership at all levels.
Whilst the last 12 months has been a very difficult time for our mum, the time she spent at Katherine House gave all of us time and space to build further happy memories with our mum and these have been a great comfort to us all.
Amazing place and amazing people.
Thank you so much for your kind and really lovely review. Our team's priority is to always ensure everyone receives the highest level of care and support, which is what your mum deserves, and it was a pleasure and a privilege to meet you all and be able to help. You are a wonderful, caring and supportive family, and your mum deserves the very best. We hope to meet again soon.
When we were looking for a care home to move Mum into so that she could be closer to family and well cared for, Katherine House stood out from the others we looked at. That impression continued from when Mum moved in. The home has a lovely calm and friendly atmosphere, and the staff, without...
Mum was happy at Katherine House and she was well cared for, which gave us peace of mind. Katherine House was definitely the right choice.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Katherine House. We are very proud of the staff team that work here, they have amazing passion, care, empathy and kindness towards every individual resident. The Wellbeing & Activities team provide great stimulating activities and as you say trips out in the community, so glad mum was happy here a place she called her home.
What exceptional care, genuine compassion, and a true sense of home. Mum spent over six years at Katherine House and we can honestly say she could not have been in better hands. From the moment she arrived, the love, respect, and dignity shown to her by every member of staff was truly remarkable....
Every single person contributed to making our mother feel safe, valued, and truly at home. Katherine and Griffith House are shining examples of what care should be and we would recommend them wholeheartedly to any family looking for a place where their loved one will be genuinely cared for and cherish
Thankyou so much for your lovely comments, we pride ourselves on our motivated, dedicated, compassionate and loyal team treating everyone like family and your mum and all of you were our family and will continue to be. Thankyou for your beautiful words

'Mum moved in to Katherine House six weeks ago. Initially it was hard to differentiate between those members of staff who look after the residents and those who look after the building, as every individual we have met, without exception, is lovely with the residents. It's as if everyone is a care professional to the highest standard, regardless of the job they are actually employed to do. The enthusiastic management team could not have done more to make us feel comfortable, informed and welcome from the first contact. Mum is delighted with the excellent activities on offer, she has made friends, loves the staff and raves about the delicious food and all the care and kindness she receives. As a result, her move into residential care does not feel like 'the end bit' but the start of the next chapter of her life, which at 95 was completely unexpected and really rather wonderful. We feel very privileged that there was a place for Mum at Katherine House and to us, so far it is perfect.'
Thankyou so much for your wonderful, kind words our team approach everything with passion, empathy, care and utter kindness and we are so very proud to have our team and we are certainly very proud that your mum decided to live here. We agree when coming into Katherine House, it is a new chapter and amazing quality of life begins xx

From all the trials and tribulations of COVID, through to the inevitable difficulties she faced in her last few weeks alive, the staff at Katherine House, without exception, were wonderful.

My father moved to Katherine House after it became clear he could no longer manage in his independent living flat. Katherine House proved to be an extremely good choice. The care he received was outstanding and the staff were all very friendly and caring and nothing was ever too much trouble. It gave the family peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for and all his medical needs were being taken care of. The catering was excellent and there was a very good programme of events and activities for the residents to participate in. Katherine House itself is in a lovely location and my father had a very nice room with patio doors overlooking greenery. I would not hesitate to recommend Katherine House to prospective residents.
Thank you so much for your lovely compliments and for taking the time to put a review; it means a lot to our team to be recognised for the amazing work they do in all departments. Your father was a wonderful much loved gentleman and will forever be remembered and we are so very pleased we were able to offer a high quality of care and services he very much deserved.
