Review from Samantha P (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We are so happy with the quality of care for our father, from the carers through to seniors, deputy managers and manager. Everybody always has time to listen, to make sure Dad has the care that is right for him and, as we see first hand, for each individual and personalised to them.
I would love to name specific carers and seniors particularly as there are so many who really do deserve a shout out but this is not allowed and genuinely there are too many to name. From Dad's first visit as a respite resident the senior for this floor (now a deputy) made sure she got to know dad, his likes, dislikes, his history and this allowed the carers to do the same. This was shared with an equally wonderful senior on the full-time resident floor both of whom are still extremely influential in Dad's care, diet management and well-being.

We have been supported more as a whole family than we ever thought possible. We could not recommend this home more. Everyone actually cares!

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
