Overall Experience
We moved mother from another nearby care home 18 months ago. Abbott House was in all respects superior.
Mother is 100 in December and has settled superbly and now enjoys life in a well managed, friendly and caring environment.

A wide range of entertainment is available, her room and personal care are exceptional.
She has been well cared for at a couple of times when she had health issues. All in all, she has the care she deserves in the last years of life.

Having looked at several care home facilities in and around the Dundee area, I visited Abbott House unannounced on five separate occasions and at different times of the day to "get the feel of the home". The manager and her deputy were very informative and sensitive to my situation in regard to my mother. It is a huge responsibility to choose the right care home for your loved one and to know that they will be treated well and with the respect that they deserve. My 90-year-old mum has settled in quite well and in a reasonably short space of time considering she has been diagnosed with dementia. The staff are both very kind and caring. There are daily stimulating activities to encourageable residents to join in and not become isolated in their rooms. My mum enjoys the variety in her meals and in my opinion, receives a well-balanced diet. Overall, I am very happy with my choice of care home and would have no hesitation in recommending this facility.

I visit Abbott House weekly with my PAT dog. From my very first visit I was impressed with the building itself and how very friendly all the staff were, not just to me but to all other visitors. In my view, all the residents are treated with kindness, care and consideration and there is a large and varied programme of entertainment, craft sessions and visits from local schools and groups.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Abbott House to friends and family.

Whilst I am very happy with the care my mother receives, the kindness shown to her and concern for her well-being. There is always room for improvement in the care of others. The only problem I have is in the laundry, clothes go missing, things get torn and discolours hopefully this can be improved upon. I am, however, pleased she is at Abbott House she is safe and content.

Overall Experience
I have my mother (aged 94 with dementia) on the waiting list as I think this is, by far the best care home in the area.
Meanwhile, I visit one of the residents, who has been living at Abbott House for 2-3 months.
She has settled in well and appears very happy.

Every time I visit, I'm impressed with the attitude of the staff. I've had personal conversations with the manager who is very "hands-on" and friendly.

During the past year, the staff and management at this home have continued to improve facilities, surroundings and providing better entertainment and activities. They only chose to employ carers who are dedicated and who treat the residents with respect and consideration. I would have no qualms in recommending this home to other persons in my position when they have to make a tough decision, as to whether or not they place their loved one in a care home.

My name is Stuart James Upex. I have lived in Oundle for fifty two years. Most of my ancestors lived in the local village for many centuries. I have worked in a warehouse, a shop and for many years in a local school. For three years I was a carer for my brother and fathers. I have a NVQ qualification in cleaning from Cambridge regional college. Outside of work my interests are reading, cinema and history (especially the great war). I joined the housekeeping team at Abbott house in march 2021. I have found the staff to be helpful and I believe my efforts help to maintain a good standard of living for the residents.

My name is Hannah Francis I am the Deputy Manager at Abbott House. I started on the 6th of December 2021 as a Support Worker, since that time I have progressed through to a senior Support Worker, Team Leader and recently Deputy Manager.
Before coming to Abbott House, I previously worked in aviation and had my own business as a freelance equine groom. I made the decision to come into the care sector after being inspired by the team that cared for both my parents.
