Review from Deb H (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mum was a resident at Summerhayes for about 4 months before she sadly passed away at the beginning of February 2026. During the week leading up to Mum passing, the staff went above and beyond...from cleaners, to carers and kitchen staff. They all continued to provide the most caring, kind and dignified support to Mum, whilst myself and my very elderly Dad were treated with such incredible kindness and consideration.
I will be forever grateful to everyone at Summerhayes, and have the utmost respect for everyone there.

Review from H C (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mum has blossomed since living at Summerhayes due to the wonderful care that Summerhayes provide. Summerhayes provide not only excellent care by experienced, extremely dedicated, and caring staff, but a programme of fantastic activities, including trips out to various venues. My Mum loves living at Summerhayes, feels at home, feels secure, and so happy. It's a joy to see my Mum so happy in a home where staff take the time to know and understand the needs of every individual resident. I can't recommend Summerhayes highly enough. I would give Summerhayes ten stars if I could for all aspects of the amazing care that all of the staff at Summerhayes have given to my Mum.

Overall Experience
My mum has been a resident at Summerhayes Care Home since February 2023. We chose Summerhayes as it came highly recommended by close friends and we are so glad we did. The care is exceptional, the setting is lovely. The staff are just wonderful and so caring and professional. My Mum was very very anxious about the move to a care home but she has been so happy here. The team take time and every effort to really get to know each resident and care for them on a personal and individual level. I would recommend Summerhayes to anybody without hesitation.
