Over all time Davlyn House has 44 reviews.
My connection with Davlyn has been for many years as I often visit as part of a local Church group. I have recommended it to many friends when doing that difficult search of finding a care home for a much-loved relative and in November 2019 was so thankful to find a place for someone I love dearly.
(P. S. I've been fortunate enough to be invited for food at Davlyn... it's amazing and their buffets are legendary)!
Thank you for the kind words; we look forward to sharing lots of lovely food with you in the future.
My mother has been in this home now for over 10 years and I cannot speak highly enough of the care she has been given whilst she has been there. The facilities have recently been updated, but what matters most is the staff, who genuinely love my mother, and treat her with great dignity and respect. No matter when we visit, no matter who comes to speak to us about my mother, the standard of staff is very high. I give thanks for the fact that we found Davlyn House, they have been superb and made the later years of my Mum's life as comfortable and as happy as possible. I would recommend their quality of care to anyone who is in the position of finding a home for an elderly relative in need.
I am delighted with the progress of my mum at Davlyn House and it is all clearly down the attitude and professionalism of the manager and her brilliant staff, especially as they have had to manage a considerable period of time of buildings improvements which have not yet been reflected in the description of Davlyn House and its facilities.
They take time to get to know each resident individually and know their likes and dislikes.
The manager, always keeps me informed of Mums progress and takes time to talk to me when I visit. She is a very hands-on manager, and really approachable, nothing is too much trouble.
