As a family we are a considerable distance from the home and therefore rely on the staff to keep us updated. Our family member refers to the staff as being members of the family working there , therefore showing us that he feels secure and happy being there which is very reassuring for us.

Thanks, it's a pleasure to care for you and be a part of your family in this small community.
I am always treated with respect and a friendly attitude when I visit and offered a tea or coffee. Often residents will always say hello and appear happy. I can ask any questions I wish.

If you would ever want to spend your days in a care home then this is most definitely the place you or a family member could ever feel more safe, welcome and at home. My brother is a resident and he loves all the staff too, always commenting on the work here they do with him. I made a visit after a few calls to the manager who is a first-class and a great guy, the staff are brilliant and all make sure everyone is being looked after and happy as they can be. The home is clean and tidy and welcoming, they worked with me so I could spend time with my brother and catch up after many years of me being away. I nearly wanted to book a room myself. The home is a credit to everyone that runs it. Well done all and thank you for all the work you do for my brother. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review of our Vane Hill ARBD Care Home. The manager and staff team will be so pleased to read your kind words. I will pass the review on to them. Thank you again, Pip.
My brother-in-law has improved dramatically, both physically and mentally during his time at Vane Hill. His current, much happier disposition and condition, is a testament to the superb care and attention he has received during his time there.

I am very pleased that your brother-in-law is doing so well. It has been a tough time, not only for my staff, but for the residents as well, but we are, as much as possible, trying to get back to some kind of normal life at Vane Hill. I do thank you for your kind comments.
My brother is very well cared for at Vane Hill and has made amazing progress both with his physical and mental health. He is treated with dignity and respect and is very fulsome in his praise of the staff.
