Abafields Residential Home

I would definitely recommend this home.

I am very happy with the care my mum is receiving and the home is committed to helping residents socialise and to provide events and activities.

Very nice home. We looked at 4 homes in the area before we chose Abafields. It has a relaxed and family-like atmosphere. Toilets are exceptionally clean, I personally checked! This home is not very big and does not have this “institutional” chain care home feeling where the staff does not know the residents in all fairness I can say that management and staff are warm and caring. It has a real family atmosphere and we are happy with our choice and my nannan is happy here.

I have also noticed the care home has been modified over the last few months with new floors, decor and new technology. I would have no hesitation sending a relative here when the time comes.

My Uncle was placed here 6 months ago and I visit him occasionally once a month since he came here as a private resident. I can say that it was a good home in general but not perfect. There has been a change of management. At first, I was worried that it would lose its standards but 3 months after the changes happen, I can say that my concern was unfounded. The manager is caring, attentive and approachable. She simply listens. Some of the staff has also changed since then and this has been a good thing. The food and the overall care is better in my opinion. Meanwhile, on my last visit, I was surprised to see that there has been a huge new decoration activity that made care home brighter and a positively more desirable place to be. The overall atmosphere is pleasant with many smiles. Also, they got a new home pet: A pure breed puppy bulldog for residents to enjoy. His name is Ronnie. He is adorable... Thank you for the care of my uncle.

My friend stayed here for a few months and we are impressed with the new decoration that has just been completed. Everywhere looks bright, new and nice. The new manager was very accommodating and caring with high standards. Nothing was too much to ask. The food is good and the atmosphere is very positive. If you have respite or long-term needs, I recommend at least a visit to see the place yourself.

The staff have always been kind, helpful and friendly during my visits and an added bonus is the home's new beautiful puppy and two parrots which bring plenty of smiles to both the resident's families/friends and healthcare professionals that visit. There have been positive significant changes to the home which can only benefit our loved ones physical and mental health and well-being.

I had the opportunity to view and observe the staff in many instances when my friend was in respite care. Very caring staff and a highly capable manager makes this care home a good place. The staff has been there a very long time and there is no turnover. I like the fact that staff are like a big family and caring for the residents as a team. The manager is very kind and does not miss any details. Homemade meals are quite satisfactory with fresh ingredients.

I am kept informed of my dad's well being. The food is all homemade and good. The carers are kind and caring, I would recommend this home to others without hesitation.
