Dorset House Nursing Home

My mother-in-law has been extremely well cared for since she moved into Dorset House Nursing Home. I was particularly impressed with the way that they handled a recent incident when she almost choked on a piece of meat while having lunch. Her life was saved by the very quick action of one nurse. Thank you for giving her back some dignity and quality of life after the ordeal of Covid in another home.

We love Mum being in Dorset House Nursing Home - she has settled very well and looks the best she has for years.

Since my aunt arrived at Dorset House, I have been happy with her care. It has changed my opinion on care homes since she has been here.

Very happy with the way my partner is looked after. The food is so good. The staff are so helpful.

Dorset House is a very homely, welcoming place with high standards of care.

I was very impressed with Dorset House when we came to review it on behalf of the lady who would be living there our opinion was excellent! The lady moved in a month ago and is very happy and totally satisfied. She has been a bit apprehensive about coming into care but now is so pleased to be at Dorset House everything is excellent.

We found all the staff at Dorset House Nursing and Residential Care Home extremely caring, showing dignity to all their residents. All the staff are very special people, doing very special work under such difficult circumstances. We as a family and the whole of society owe them so much - thank you.

Delighted with the care my mum is receiving - the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Mum has Alzheimer's but is obviously happy and being stimulated by the many activities. During lockdown, I have been able to visit mum in the lovely summer house in well-kept grounds - and today I could visit mum in the wonderfully relaxing indoor room.

My father has been a resident of Dorset House since July 2020. This was mid-Covid when we feared we would not have contact with him for some time. The staff have been compassionate, caring and professional throughout, keeping us informed about Dad's needs and progress. He has started to settle and this is without a doubt due to the commitment and hard work of all staff.

I cannot thank the staff enough for the love and care shown to my mum during her two years and three months as a resident at Dorset House. Mum had never wanted to spend her last days in a residential care home but when the need arose, we could not have found a better one. As soon as she had settled into her surroundings she loved the staff and the attention that they gave. The care and love that she received was exceptional. I was always made to feel very welcome too! From my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Dorset House.

My dad has been treated with diligence, kindness and respect. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for the loving care they provide. The level of care has exceeded my expectations.

I am very happy with her care and are happy with all aspects of her care.

We moved mum to Dorset House a year ago having become increasingly dissatisfied with the care she was receiving at her previous care home. We were immediately struck by the polar differences between the two establishments. The former is an institution where her individual tasks and personality were not accommodated, and Dorest House which is more homely and where she is treated by all with warmth and dignity. Since covid 19 visiting restrictions preventing us from seeing mum. It is very comforting to know that she is happy and being cared for, the staff are very good at keeping you in touch.

Dorset House, what a fabulous facility. From management staff to carers, cleaners, caterers, and maintenance. All the staff are helpful, attentive and accommodating. The cleanliness and general tidiness of the facility is excellent - clean, bright, fresh and welcoming. The person I care for loves Dorset House from the staff, food atmosphere and all the in house facilities. She doesn't want to be or would wish to be anywhere else. I wouldn't extremely recommend, I would definitely recommend.

Dad was only there for a short time but the care and attention that he received was excellent. We recently had a Christmas experience that was lovely. The food and activities were fantastic as were all of the staff. Thank you from the whole family for looking after my dad.

We are very pleased with the care that she had at the nursing home. She was very happy talking with nurses. She had family coming to see her most days. The staff and management are very friendly at all times.

Thank you all at Dorset House.

This care home is extremely brilliant and very well maintained in every aspect. The care and attention to all the residents is extremely excellent.

Dorset House offers excellent care, kindness and compassion. They cared for my mother during her stay and were of great comfort to myself and at the end of her life. The setting is of a good standard, nice clean room. A lovely garden and most of all excellent care.

I also want to mention the excellent attention to detail within the home. The caring staff were always happy to help and provide second to none care and assistance. I have reserved my place for when I need to enter a care/nursing home, I was that impressed. Love to all.
