Review from Meryl T (Mother of Resident) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter has recently become a resident at Little Acres Care Home.
As she suffers from Autism and PDA, she has complex needs and I am delighted with the caring attitude of the staff and the relaxed, homely atmosphere of the home.

I feel reassured that my daughter is already settled and having the best care from kindly staff who have had training in her condition.

Review from Shelley F (Relative of Resident) published on 7 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Little Acres is a haven for our relative after struggling in her previous placement.
The manager and her strong team are deserving of high praise.
The care, kindness and professionalism with which they treat residents is truly inspiring and after only a week in their care the improvement for our much loved family member is already wonderful to see.

Little Acres thankyou from the bottom of our hearts.

Overall Experience

Arranged to take family member out for the day, when I arrived to collect her she was dressed appropriately and all ready to go looking lovely. I visit Little Acres every other week and I am always happy with what I see. Staff are very attentive to all residents and create a happy relaxed atmosphere for all including visitors. Staff are always happy to answer any concerns and accommodate individual needs/preference.

Review from Gemma L (Sister of Resident) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Little Acres was a soft place to land for my brother at a difficult time. They have looked after him beautifully and he has enjoyed his time with you. The staff cared for him as an individual and helped him regain his confidence.

Whenever I have visited all the other residents seemed happy and were treated with kindness and dignity.

Review from S J (Sister of Resident) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The manager and all her staff all wonderful no matter what I ask about my sister, there is always a response and details even to getting a dentist now. I know that the manager does everything she can even down for decorating rooms. I find a lot needs painting and is on the maintenance list, there are lots of repairs that need doing also. I have much admiration for everyone working at Little Acres, they all do their very best for all the residents in their care.

Review from Louise H (Niece of Resident) published on 13 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My aunt is in the final stages of dementia. She is being very well cared for. The staff can't do enough for her and her carer in particular has gone above and beyond. They are fitting things around her needs, eg. feeding her when she is awake, no matter what time it is. The staff are friendly.

Review from Lynne W (Mother of Resident) published on 15 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter stayed here as an emergency respite placement, she was quite challenging upon arrival, the staff were remarkable at calming her down and helping her settle through her stay. On collection, my daughter said how much she had enjoyed her stay and would love to stay again. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their hard work and caring nature.

Review from Brian H (Resident / Service User) published on 17 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The rooms are good. I have an en-suite bathroom. The staff treat the residents with respect and dignity. I have been very happy as a resident of Little Acres Care Home for the last three years. I particularly look forward to the day centre twice a week. I enjoy going on the computer and in the afternoon I go bowling and also look forward to the regular day trips at weekends.

Review from D H (Brother of Resident) published on 17 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The rooms are very well adapted for people's various disabilities. The staff are always respectful to the residents of the care home. The facilities are of a very good standard with cinema room, lounge, kitchen, so there is always plenty of activities for the residents. Twice a week the residents go to a Day Centre and are regularly taken out on day trips.

Visitors always made welcome. Residents appear to be well cared for and seem happy. However, communication from management is non-existent. I cannot rate some of the boxes, as I simply do not know.
