I can't say enough good things about this lovely care home. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're met with warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of care. The staff are not only professional and attentive but also incredibly compassionate-they truly go the extra mile to make residents feel at home.
The environment is clean, bright, and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that make it feel more like a home than a facility. Activities are varied and engaging, helping residents stay active and connected, and the meals are nutritious and well-prepared.
Most importantly, there's a strong sense of community here. The team treats residents with dignity and respect, and it's clear that relationships are built on trust and genuine affection. Families are kept well-informed and involved, which brings great peace of mind.
If you're looking for a place where your loved one will be well cared for and valued, I wholeheartedly recommend Davlyn House. It's truly a special place
Staff are amazing, they are always welcoming and go above and beyond for all of the residents. The quality of care is exceptional. There is always something going on - activities, parties, crafts etc - everyone is treated like family.
Everyone here has been so amazing and welcoming! The food is really lovely! The company and staff are so kind and caring! Really can't recommend Davlyn House Care enough! Well done all of you at Davlyn House Care!
The care provided at Davlyn House is second to none, my mum spent the last 4 years of her life there, moving in just before the start of the pandemic. From the beginning the staff could not do enough for her, they helped us stay in contact by setting up video call sessions, keeping in regular phone contact with us to let us know how she was etc. Mum was always encouraged to take part in the many activities provided and even took part in pampering sessions where she had a facial and her nails done! When mum was at the end of her life the care she received was amazing, staff maintained her dignity at all times and were so compassionate towards me and my family , cannot recommend this place highly enough
Great quality of care and consideration for the dignity of the residents. Kind and knowledgeable staff members make a difficult time more manageable. The care manager and other staff go above and beyond to ensure the residents are well cared for and given dignity. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments, it is a pleasure to care for our lovely residents. Dignity is so imprtant for every one.
I found the staff to be caring and very professional........they treated the patients with patience and dignity.....the overall atmosphere was great......the rooms..the toilets..bathing and kitchen are very clean and tidy.
Thank you for your feedback, its always a pleasure to care for our residents
The care and attention that the carers and team give to the Residents is 10 out of 10.
It's a truly warm,happy enviroment, lots of great entertainment, lovely and clean, great food and Happy residents.
Keep up your amazing good work.
Davlyn House has been a wonderful help with their friendly staff and excellent care. It is well organised and very clean, they also go above and beyond to meet your needs/requirements. There are plenty of activities which are well-structured and catered to everyone. Couldn't recommend enough.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it is a real pleasure to care for our residents.
My dad moved into Davlyn House a few months ago and he loves it. He says he is treated like the king. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are caring for him. It's a lovely friendly and caring home.
Mum is being cared for wonderfully in Davlyn House. She is safe and content with her lot. Having had a couple of falls, the staff notified us immediately and it is such a relief knowing that there was someone on hand immediately, a stark contrast to the situation when she fell in her own home. I am fully aware that Mum can be difficult but the staff are unfailingly cheerful and encouraging. I hope that she can be persuaded to mix more but she is conscious of her lack of mobility and failing eyesight. A special word for the care manager who has done everything to make sure Mum is content and is always positive about her future and ongoing care.
My mum made Davlyn House her home recently and is settling in well. All the staff are very attentive and caring. Mum loves the music-related singing and dancing activities, earning herself the title of dancing queen. Thanks to all at Davlyn House.
Mum stayed in Davlyn House for respite from December 2022. It was chosen for being small and very cosy. The manager is extremely caring and compassionate. As Mum's dementia became worse, she adapted the bedroom and her care plan to suit Mum's growing needs. The carers worked very hard to give her daily personal care and were always on hand to help out with any problems.
My mother-in-law initially stayed at the home for respite care but once a place became available she was more than happy to become a full-time resident. In all this time she has been well looked after and the staff spend time encouraging her to become involved in all the home activities which I understand are numerous. All her needs are well catered for and the home always keeps me informed of any issues which occur during the time I am not able to visit. I can highly recommend Davlyn House and the staff.
Thank you for your kind comments, it's a pleasure to care for our residents and we are very glad that she enjoys the activities.
Davlyn House offers organised activities/events for the residents to experience too if they wish to participate, e.g. singing, exercise, music entertainment, crafts, and panto, to name a few. This clean, warm and welcoming home also has a pleasant outdoor area, offers excellent food and some of the bedrooms have a lovely view of the fields/horses. I would highly recommend Davlyn House.
Food was excellent. With a good range of sandwiches, side dishes, quiches, salad and deserts, it could not be faulted and a credit to staff who had obviously worked extremely hard in producing such a delicious buffet.
A present from Santa for all residents and a selection box for all children, was a lovely touch. A big thank you to all staff and management for all you hard work.
Thank you very much for taking the time out to share your positive experience at Davlyn House.
The staff have been second to none in helping my sister, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, to settle in. The organised activities, the one to one care and attention, the regular close communication with family has collectively been reassuring.
I have also received photographs and videos that have shown my sister happy and smiling in spite of the effects of this cruel disease. She has made me smile for the first time in ages.
The manager is very personable and obviously holds the residents well being as a priority.
I cannot thank everyone there enough.
Thank you for your lovely kind words, and taking the time to share your postivie experience at Davlyn House. Your kind words really inspire us to continue providing the best care possible.
This is quite simply an outstanding care home. The staff are amazing, they go beyond their job and care for Mum with affection. She couldn't be in a better place and we are grateful every day that we found Davlyn.
Thank you very much for your kind words, it is a pleasure caring for our residents
The care and love that she received was amazing. The staff were so attentive and supportive.
I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you all.
We could not be happier with the care our mum is receiving. The staff consistently show kindness, compassion and respect. We feel our mum is loved and cared for by everyone involved helping us to feel confident her needs are being met. Despite the challenges of Covid restrictions, Davlyn has retained its warm and welcoming approach and we are deeply grateful to all of the staff for all they do.
The care for my mum has been absolutely excellent, she has a lovely room, very well catered for providing lovely food and always served so well. The staff are always very pleasant and friendly and make you feel welcome when visiting and always help to make the residents feel even more special on their birthdays and Christmas. The activities the staff organise are amazing, the “world tour” they did earlier in the year including the different foods and costumes and music was great, I wanted to join them myself! Our family are really happy Mum is in Davlyn House, we know she is happy and very well looked after. Well done Davlyn working and looking after all the residents through Covid-19, they have done a fantastic job and we all look forward to visiting without restrictions and enjoying the family atmosphere you feel when you go. Great work Davlyn and a big thank you to the manager and all the staff from all our family.
That is very kind of you to say; we love caring for your mum, it's lovely to share our activities with relatives and friends.
