My husband came here three years ago for 1 day a week day care. He settled happily and contented and I had no other reason to consider anywhere else for residential care when his condition deteriorated to the point where I could no longer keep him at home. The home is very, very well led, the staff trained exceptionally well and the atmosphere is one of a relaxed, happy kind. I visited many other homes before making the decision to choose Silverleigh Nursing Home I have never ever regretted my choice.

My husband has been a resident of Silverleigh for two and a half years. He has been very happy here from day one. His behaviour was very difficult at times, and the staff here have managed him with care, compassion and love. The activities are very varied and my husband has been involved with the swimming sessions and outings The entertainment is also very good, involving most of the residents. I am extremely happy with the care my husband is receiving.

My wife has been in care for two and half years, having been in two other care homes before coming to Silverleigh. She was very unhappy and this was a cause of great distress for me. But all this changed at Silverleigh and she found it of great interest and became very content. As she is unable to communicate the staff and carers do their utmost to see to her needs and she thinks the world of them, she is now happy and so am I.
