Review from H T (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Canwick House is a clean, light, friendly, warm and welcoming care home. However the primary reason I would recommend the home is because the of the quality of care my Dad received during his time as part of the Canwick House family. All of the staff really do care and he was treated with the utmost

respect, patience, kindness and compassion from the very beginning and throughout his end of life care. It was comforting to see how quickly they came to know and understand his individual needs. He was always treated as an individual and with dignity. The management team were always very approachable and reacted quickly to any deteriorating developments with his health and/or mobility. As a family we were always welcomed with a smile and were very grateful for the support we received from the staff as Dad's life drew to an end. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was very good, always smelled and tasted delicious. It was a pleasure to have been part of the Canwick House family.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

Our team is deeply appreciative of your kind words. We're grateful for your attention to the small details as well as the care we gave to your father. We are given the opportunity to make a difference, and we sincerely hope that we were able to do so for your father.

Overall Experience

My mother was at Canwick House Care Home for a little over two years. My family could not, in our humble opinion, have settled on a nicer, more caring and devoted home to spend her final years. The staff were professional, always ready with a welcoming smile, nothing was ever too much trouble, and we

know how much our mum was loved by all.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

We feel truly honoured to have had the opportunity to care for your mum during her time with us. Please know that our hearts are with you, and we will always be here for you, ready with a warm cup of tea and a comforting smile whenever you need.

Review from S H (Friend of Resident) published on 17 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Canwick House is more than a care home. My dearly loved friend passed away in their loving care in December 2024 after 8 years as a resident - 8 happy years. Nothing by any of the staff inc. management was ever to much whatever I asked, it is indeed a huge team effort whatever their roles, it all came

together as one committed to the holistic well-being of my dear late friend and I include everyone. This home became our family the environment so beautiful and clean, the care delivered with diligence and dignity, nutritional needs updated and discussed as needs changed. I was also very well looked after and was always included at a lunchtime so my friend and I could enjoy lunch together. I have happy memories of the 8 years I spent as a visiting friend, and I know my friend had a wonderful life there too. As my friend' s life drew to an end she was surrounded by love and tenderness and I was comforted by all too. Saying thank you will never be enough and you are in my heart forever.

Overall Experience

From the minute I first looked around and met staff at Canwick House, I felt assured that this was the ideal place for my husband to come out of hospital to. I was not disappointed, the care and consideration shown to both him and myself was outstanding. They met every need possible and it felt like

coming home. He visibly became less agitated very quickly. If I have to end up in a home, I would love to go there myself. The cleanliness and the happy residents says it all. Plenty of activities if you want to join in. After has passed away they still supported me.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

Fantastic staff. Firstly, Mum couldn't walk or do anything for herself, but six weeks later back in her own home thanks to the incredible care she received, they couldn't do more for Mum, they treated her like family.
None of this would be possible without an amazing management team.
Thanks.

Review from Niccy H (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Staff are simply wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. Stepdad was well attended to. He was moved with care and consideration on a regular basis. The staff spoke to him with love and respect. My mum was also looked after by the staff; kept fed and watered so she didn't need to leave my stepdad's side.

The home is clean, tidy and smells nice. Grounds are lovely and well kept. Home is secure - I was impressed with the key card scanning system. Once my dad was on end of life care the staff were respectful and tactful and so helpful. It's a fantastic place.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

Thank You for your kind and thoughtful words. When residents come into our home, we pride ourselves in looking after the residents and their family members to ensure complete comfort for all. We feel very blessed to have met a wonderful family like yourselves.

Overall Experience

When my friend moved into Canwick House Care Home, I wasn't sure what to expect, as it was a big change for her. However, the care and kindness she received is incredible. My friend always expressed how she feels safe, happy and well cared for. She always mentions the 'cheese and wine' afternoons. The

manager is always around and makes a point of coming to see me to give me updates on my friend. I always look forward to visiting the home, as I am welcomed by all staff and residents.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

Review from Margaret D (Regular Volunteer) published on 4 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Visiting Canwick House Care Home to see the residents as a volunteer is so rewarding. We go to the local village hall coffee mornings so that the residents can connect with their local community in an enjoyable way that is meaningful to them. Staff always greet me with a smile and an offer of refreshments.

I love that it is a small, homely, welcoming care home, where even the owner is always on hand with cheery conservation and chat.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

Thank you for this encouraging review of our care home. The local coffee mornings mean a lot to our residents and we will continue to take part in them. With your support, it creates an enjoyable and fun Friday morning.

Review from Karen L (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The care at Canwick House is second to none. The staff are so genuinely caring and kind and the atmosphere is unlike any other care home I have visited; happy, calm, relaxed and well organised. Also, homely. There is an atmosphere of lightness and fun, someone is always laughing somewhere. The residents

are well turned out, the house is always clean, there are regular events and activities, and everyone is treated as an individual, with their particular needs and idiosyncrasies taken into account. Since she moved to Canwick House, my mum is in better form than she has been for some years. I can’t praise the team enough for looking after her so well and making me so welcome every time I visit.

Reply from Gemma Martiin, Manager at Canwick House

We thank you so much for your review, it really is heartfelt and has been shared amongst our dedicated team of staff. We always go above and beyond for our 'Canwick Family' and we always will. Thank you once again.

Overall Experience

We feel very lucky Mum was placed at Canwick House Care Home when she came out of hospital in November 2021. It has such a lovely atmosphere, looked after by a small group, providing personal touches and a family feel. Mum looks so much better for their care. The staff go out of their way to make all

the family welcome on our visits and any special events we are invited to. The staff make sure Mum is included in the daily activities, even though she has limited hearing, which is very much appreciated. Highly recommend this care home.

Review from M E (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 99-year-old mother was dismissed from the hospital on a Sunday evening to anywhere the hospital could send her, and so the home had zero hours' notice to prepare for her arrival.
I was concerned because we had not any chance to look at this, or any other place, and I had rushed 170 miles to see

my mother in hospital - I was quite geared up to move her the next day if necessary.
I was delighted that the next morning it was clear that the home had provided a very welcoming environment and was rapidly getting everything sorted out that they hadn't been able to do the night before.
My brother and I have visited her frequently, and we are full of praise for the care she has received. The staff are wonderful - really caring, alert to residents' needs and give time to each.
The owner and manager are personally involved with the residents and have used their contacts with the local nursing teams to ensure their medical needs are met.
We feel lucky that my mother is a very happy resident here.

Reply from Gemma Martin, Manager at Canwick House

Thank you for this wonderful review. We will always remain a home - not only for our residents but for families and friends too. You are always so welcome and are seen as part of our team too, as we provide the best care we can for all our residents. We thank you for allowing us to care for your loved one and aim to make "100" a most memorable celebration!

I love visiting Canwick, it’s a precious place where I absolutely know my beloved grandmother is very well taken care of. I really sense the quality of life as I walk in the front door, and I know many others feel this too. There is an energy of positivity and light and joyous humour amongst all who

work there. I couldn’t rate Canwick House any more highly.

Review from Jules E (Regular Volunteer) published on 19 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Having worked as a volunteer through Age UK at Canwick House Care Home for eighteen months, I have nothing but admiration for all the staff. The home really is home from home and it’s like being with a big family. Staff and residents laugh and joke together and I have the best time supporting the well-being

coordinator and spending time with all the residents.
Meal times are a fabulous experience with lots of chatter at each table. With each and every resident enjoying the wonderful food cooked by the chef and served up by our hostesses.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and that is clearly evident by how positively the residents speak about the staff.
I am very proud to be part of such a loving, caring care home team.

Visiting Canwick House to see our grandad is like a breath of fresh air. We're always greeted warmly by all team. We cannot thank them for all they do for our grandad who, with their help, maintains his well-dressed and happy manner not to mention his cheeky charisma. No job is ever too big, and what

we like about the Home, is the family feel. Top marks from us, and after knowing you for three years, we have seen nothing but consistent, excellent care. Our visits are enjoyable, often the highlight of my week!
