Dad has settled in really well and is happy in his new home. The staff are kind and helpful. Dad is enjoying the food. Ali is a friendly and helpful contact. We would recommend Cornerways Residential Home.
Thank you for you review of Cornerways and we are pleased your father has settled in well.
Mum sadly had to go in to a care home in December 2025. What a tough decision of where to take her to live. Such a difficult time for all of us but especially mum who wasn't able to make any decisions for herself. So much pressure for us as a family to make the right choices. Cornerways have been amazing. Helping us all to make this huge transition. The communication has been fantastic. Their care for mum amazing. And they are doing their best to make us all feel at home as much as is possible during this difficult time. A massive thank you to you all. I would definitely recommend this caring home and amazing staff to anyone looking for a care home. Especially for those with levels of dementia that means they sadly aren't safe to be in their own home. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your positive review of Cornerways. We know how hard and emotional the decision is and strive to support. Thank you
Cornerways has a very homely feel. The staff do everything they can to ensure that the residents are looked after. There are lots of activities and outings available to cover the residents interests. Relatives are always made welcome and involved in the care of residents.

Everyone at Cornerways is kind, caring and understanding at all levels. Nothing is too much trouble. I visit a couple of times a week and the staff are really kind.

Very happy that my Dad is residing at Cornerways. I live in Spain and have no concern with the way Dad is being looked after. I try to visit 4 times a year. The staff I know are friendly and helpful.
Thank you so much for your review of Cornerways. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we look forward to continuing to support your dad and your family.
I cannot praise the staff enough for the care of my mother, she is happy and settled. The staff understand her needs very well and they take the time to tell me how she is getting on as I live quite a distance away, this gives me peace of mind when I can't visit.
Thank you so much for the review of Cornerways and glad the team can give you the peace of mind you need whilst caring for your mother.

The staff are attentive and patient and keep us informed of mum-in-laws care. There is a nice atmosphere in the home and the staff are very friendly. They take the residents for a day out once a month, which is lovely for them, and have activities and events at the home.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that you received good communication of your mother-in-laws care with us.
All staff members were caring, supportive and very helpful.

We were always updated in respect of dad's general health and any problems were discussed.

I would like to say thank you so much to everyone for making my mum's stay a really happy one. The staff went above and beyond to meet her care needs and were very attentive in the last stage of her life which was very quick. I know my mum really enjoyed being at Cornerways due to the friendly atmosphere and the wonderful activities provided. It is a lovely place to visit your loved ones and are always assured they are in good care and safe environment. You are all amazing!!
Thank you for writing a review. The whole care team at Cornerways will be really pleased to hear your positive feedback. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're so pleased you're happy with the care at Cornerways. The whole team there will be delighted to hear your positive feedback. Thank you
We visited my sister today for the first time at Cornerways. Much to my delight she was more motivated and knew who I was even though we had not seen her sine before COVID approximately 3 years ago, at which time she apparently didn't seem to recognise me. We were so pleased to find how much better she was. Thank you for looking after her so well.
What a lovely review, thank you. Great to hear that your sister is benefitting from the care at Cornerways. The whole team will be so pleased to hear your positive feedback. Thank you.
Whenever I ring to check on how he is doing whoever answers is always kind and never too busy to tell me how he has been. The home always tries to learn as much as possible about the residents their likes and dislikes and interests, my husband tells me about the meals he has had and seems to enjoy them. It means a lot knowing he is being very well cared for every day.
Thank you for leaving a review for Cornerways. The whole team will be so pleased to hear your positive feedback.

Meet the Team (1)
I joined Cornerways as a Night Senior, bringing over 10 years of NHS experience from various hospital wards. When COVID turned the world upside down, I moved to day shifts and gradually worked my way through several roles to where I am today.
Cornerways genuinely feels like my second home. I feel incredibly lucky to lead such a brilliant team and care for our lovely residents—each one with their own stories, quirks, and ability to make me laugh every single day.
When not at work, I am married with three brilliant children and grandchildren whom I adore.
