Ditton Priors Care Centre

When mum came into the home for respite care, she was extremely anxious and reluctant to stay. Gradually, over the last month, she has begun to settle and relax. The staff are really amazing and offer mum their dedicated time, patience, and she benefits from the positive relationships she has formed with them. The home is always spotlessly clean, and the food is individually prepared according to preference. I would definitely recommend the home to anyone needing residential care.

The best! Couldn't wish for anything different at this amazing home.

My mum has settled into life at Ditton Priors Care Centre so much easier than I ever thought possible. This is due to the lovely kind caring staff. She always looks clean and tidy as does her room. The food always looks and smells great as well. The staff are always quick to relay any changes in Mum's condition. I couldn't be happier with Mum's care.

We were very happy with the wonderful care and attention given to Mum during her 6-week stay at Ditton Priors Care Home. All the staff and management were very kind and attentive and lovely to us as well. The home is extremely clean and well-kept, including the gardens - very nice indeed. Thank you so much everyone, greatly appreciated.

I was with party of three - the other two being my younger sister and husband. We had travelled up from East and West Sussex to see our elder sister.The staff were very helpful in arranging a time and a date for this. Our visit was on a very warm day but the care centre was cool and airy. My elder sister (resident) was in bed as her health is not good (she will be 90 years old in August) and was in a clean and well appointed and decorated room with her possessions displayed tactfully and in sight - items of pottery, several photographs, soft toys and other pictures. We stayed for about an hour and a quarter talking to her and occasionally holding her hand. We were treated to refreshments and friendly staff. It was a very good experience which befitted all of us.

What makes this home special are the dedicated people who work here. They are fantastic, I can't praise them highly enough. This is my dad's home and this team of people have become part of our family. It's not only the carers it's also the housekeeping, catering and maintenance staff that make this home what it is, a safe and welcoming place to be.

Premises are located in countryside enviroment with secure and adequate parking. Visiting no need for an appointment but avoid meal times. Communication is excellent in even of any incident.

My mom went into this care home in July. In the first few weeks, she kept wanting to come home with me when I visited her, but the staff were really good with her and eventually she settled in. She has a lovely room with views over the fields. The staff are very nice and always keep me updated on anything that concerns my mom. Another thing I'm impressed with is the home is always very clean and tidy.

There are not enough words to say how glad I am that my sister is in the excellent care of the Manager and her team at Ditton Priors. My sister is treated with the utmost care while retaining her dignity and is happy to be there she has her own room and has no wish to be anywhere else but at Ditton. I phone her every day and have a good relationship with the staff.

Since her admission in June 2022, my wife has received excellent care in most respects and has accepted her residency as a normal life from the start. My only criticism is the size of her room which does not seem to match the standard set in the online brochure. I find the home management and nursing care to be of a very high standard in all respects.

In April 2023 mum, who has dementia, was initially given a temporary two-week respite place at Ditton. I was apprehensive about this, as until then I had been her full-time carer and didn’t know how well she would settle there. For a couple of weeks, she was restless, but with the wonderful and totally dedicated care team at Ditton, she did eventually settle. Visitors are always greeted warmly, offered a drink and often cake too! Every time I visit mum I am struck by the happy and positive atmosphere there. Staff work well as a team and Ditton has the feeling of a big family home environment, where residents are able to potter between their own room, communal lounge, garden and other areas, as and when they wish, with staff interacting and always attentive to their needs. Staff contact me promptly if there are any medical or other issues regarding mum, and I now have great peace of mind, knowing that she is being looked after by a fantastic team in such a warm and caring environment.

I visit with my younger sister, we usually visit on a Friday and have lunch with our mum. She has dementia. I am her only twin as we lost my sister in 2011. I am at home now following a brain bleed, I am on long-term sick, redundant from working, driving etc. I have two older brothers who do not visit at all. We find the home is everything mum needs.

From the start it's been great. It's such a traumatic experience for everyone involved, my mother has been treated so well as have I. Always with a smile and much love, I spend watching TV in her room with always a lovely cup of tea. Meals and the food is always good and I'm a chef, yes we are very happy indeed. Thank you all.

I was very impressed by the team. Always on the case immediately - phone me even before the hospital told me my dad was being placed there. Totally on top of his care and proactive. The staff are kind and friendly. I always felt my dad was in the best place and being looked after well. Overall, very impressed. In particular, I would like to thank the manager.

I was sent by the local hospital, I did not wish to come - I made a fuss. If in future I need a break, I would come here if there was a bed available. The young carers are helpful, the food is excellent - where else would you get a bacon sandwich for breakfast. The drugs are given by trained staff on time. A good local doctor visits.

We are so pleased with the care given to Dad. The staff are kind and attentive and are very caring to us as well as my dad. Dad is happy and says he enjoys the meals. The home is lovely and clean and we are always happy to leave Dad in the care of Ditton Priors Care Centre. Thank you all, we appreciate all you do.

Overall experience was excellent. The food was very good, the care and attention throughout my stay were very good. Facilities were easily accessible and beds were very comfortable. The staff were very accommodating particularly when I found myself having to go back in at short notice.

I visited my mother in law yesterday. She greeted us with a lovely smile, something we have not seen for a good few months, she was very chatty and very settled. The staff were very caring and compassionate, the support they have given my mother-in-law is amazing, she has been there on a trial period and has now decided to stay as she feels safe secure and extremely well looked after. For us, as a family, this means a lot. It is so homely and has a family atmosphere. Thank you to each and every one of the staff you're true heroes.

I would like to thank management and staff for their continuing high level of care during this difficult time. The actions everyone is taking are clearly working to the benefit of all, and I very much appreciate the time taken to ensure I am in contact with my husband via video call plus the phone updates from staff.

All excellent, first-class care at an affordable price.
