Review from D M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
What can I say, I can't fault Abberdale Care home. The care there is so good, all of the staff there are so lovely and caring. I couldn't wish for better care for my dad. He's really happy in there and has made some good friends. It's always so warm, and has a lovely smell of cooking when I walk in. Thank you Abberdale House, and everyone of your staff for looking after my dad and putting my mind at rest

Review from Yasmine P (Sister of Resident) published on 28 July 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My brother has been here for nearly 5 years. He has needs that are more mental than physical. I find that the home is reactive to his needs when they are brought to the forefront. He feels comfortable in talking to certain staff that make themselves approachable to him. I would like his room to be cleaned more often as it doesn't smell the best but apart from that I have no issue with his care.

Overall Experience
My mother has episodes of anger but she is always treated with kindness and respect. The staff engage with my parents and make them feel welcome.
The home is always clean with a fresh feel to it.

Overall Experience
My husband and I have only just started to visit this home and we have to say in all aspects, it is an excellent home. Nothing is too much trouble, it is clean, it smells fresh, the food is excellent and there is plenty of it. Social activities are available to all, the staff are wonderful and work well with the resident. They are very friendly, nothing is too much trouble.

Overall Experience
Staff are okay. The residents need watching in rooms. No cameras, should have one in home. I visit mum often, home could be a bit cleaner. Gardens nice should take residents out for day!
