I came into care after not being able to get "care" at home and having no immediate relatives to care for me, I made my own decision so nobody put me here, This makes a big difference and I am therefore quite happy and contented. Although my mind is as clear as a bell my body is not and I need help. I am grateful for the care I receive and marvel at how hard the staff work. I have a lovely room overlooking the garden and I spend a lot of time in my room as my mobility is poor, I have a number of visitors and from my chair I'm still involved with the work at the local Baptist Church
Thank you so much for your lovely review! we love that you allow us to care for you and want you to be happy always!

Everyone is so very kind and nice. I feel completely confident leaving my husband with these good people for both day care and respite care. I know he has a nice time even though his memory - short term - is not good at all. I would know if he wasn't happy. They all like him and I know he likes...

All nurses make me feel welcome and were extremely helpful. I felt safe and cared for by the team, nothing was too much trouble. The residents were friendly when I went downstairs and joined them for lunch.

I have no complaints or criticism about my stay at Gough House only the highest praise for the lovely manager and all the lovely staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble day or night, however busy they were. Visitors were always warmly welcomed at any time (other than meal times) and always offered tea coffee or biscuits. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gough House to anyone considering residential or respite care and would certainly return there again.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a pleasure to have you here and lovely to meet your husband too. We hope you keep in touch and know that you are welcome anytime.
My husband has Alzheimer's disease and had been attending Gough House for some time as a day centre user and I have always been satisfied with the service given, he was really anxious about staying there overnight and I expected on my return to find him a bit down in the dumps, so it was a...
Top marks Gough House and thank you so much for caring for my dear husband, I am so grateful to you all.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words. It is a pleasure having him here and a pleasure knowing you too
The home itself is always spotlessly clean and tidy. Activities are arranged every day, which Mum enjoys.

Thank you for your positive comments. We strive every day to maintain a high standard of care in a home-from-home environment.
A small but very friendly care home. My husband was in for respite while I had surgery. He was worried about it all but they soon put him at ease and I know he would want to go there again when I have a holiday.

My mother attended the day centre at Gough House for a little over a year. Her dementia meant she had become very attached to my father and the daycare enabled him to have a much-needed break. The staff were so caring, supporting our family as well as taking great care of Mum. The activities were excellent and varied, as were the meal options. The daycare co-ordindator in particular was amazing - born for the job and able to make my mum happy and comfortable at the daycare. Could not recommend more highly.
Thank you so much for this review. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to get to know you and your mum.

Thank you for your kind review. We like to get to know our families too - so it has been lovely to get to know you all.
Day Care (2 days per week) mean our lives are now balanced. Change of scene gives stimulation in the care of Alzheimer's.

My mother-in-law, aged 98 and a half, was admitted to Gough House Care Home in March 2019. She had lived in her flat on the High Street for 20 years. Fiercely independent, managing on her own, with no care whatsoever. Illness in February meant her health deteriorated and she was in hospital for 3 weeks. Her son felt she could not be on her own any longer. With deteriorating eyesight, deafness, Gough Care Home kindly agreed to 'place' her. She is happy in her new home. Her room has been made cosy and homely. The staff are all particularly caring and treat her with dignity and respect. Cannot recommend this home enough.
Each carer is kind, loving and very giving of time and energy. It is like a home from home.

The home, though an old building, was comfortable.

The home is first class. The staff were first class. The home cooking really to my liking. I was very happy for the short time I was there but would not hesitate to go again.
