Sherwood House

To entrust a loved one into the hands of others is arguably one of the most significant and difficult decisions that a son has to make and it is therefore, vital to have confidence in the information on which such a decision is based.

There are, of course, many factors to take into account, such as the location of the home and the setting; and of course (crucially) the quality of care.

I continue to be overwhelmed by the constant kindness and compassion of the Staff at Sherwood House. Nothing appears to be too much trouble and this, in addition to their friendliness and genuine warmth, is a credit to them all.

Consequently, every time I say goodbye to my mother at the end of a visit, I am able to drive away in the certain knowledge that she is safe, secure, treated with dignity and respect and she is extremely content; and that for me is absolutely priceless.

I cannot praise Sherwood House enough.

My 90 yr old mother was admitted to Sherwood House in January of this year. None of us knew at that time how seriously ill she was, her GP subsequently informed us that she might only have a matter of weeks to live. Thanks to the dedication, care and love she received from all the staff, day and night, she has now recovered. I will never forget their kindness. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and thoroughly well-trained thanks to the professionalism of the manager. The home itself is a delightful place, spotlessly clean, set in landscaped gardens with excellent home-cooked meals. It is such a relief to know that mum is in such a safe and caring environment, I honestly hope that I myself will be lucky enough to live there when my time comes!

I looked at many homes before choosing Sherwood House for my mother. Others may have had more activities and support staff but were frenetic. Sherwood House was calm, quiet, clean and welcoming.
On her arrival from the hospital, she loved the setting and the room was amazed at how kind the staff were and felt if she had to be in a home, she couldn't do better than here. As a family, we feel she is with people who care, listen and act.
It may not be HER home but everyone helps make it feel as similar as possible - we could not ask for more.
If you are thinking of Sherwood House for your relative, go and visit, meet the staff and ask other residents/relatives for their view. I doubt you will be disappointed.

My aunt has been a resident at the home for 11 years and has just died at the age of 103.
She has received outstanding. Loving care throughout her time there.
The house is beautifully cared for and is always immaculate. All the staff, from the manager to the cooks are superb and I would recommend the home to anyone.
