Spennymoor

The home naturally exudes a warm family environment but also very functional for supporting people in need, spotlessly clean on every occasion with no untoward noises or smells.

My Mum is safe, healthy, happy and cared for - thank you to all the staff!

There could be no higher commendation for the staff that were so caring for my aunt.

Due to my wife's medical condition; Alzheimer's, dementia and curvature of her spine, it was becoming increasingly difficult to care for her properly at home. After consulting with Spennymoor staff, it was decided that she would move into residential care at the home. This has proved to be an excellent choice.

Excellent care from friendly staff. Room always clean and tidy. Friendly, homely atmosphere.

My Father recently moved to Spennymoor from a sub standard home elsewhere. The care and support he has received in Spennymoor have transformed him into a much healthier and positive man. He thinks the world of the staff and his quality of life has improved greatly. I am delighted with care and support he gets. He his happy and enjoys his time in the home. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and ensure the safety and health of my father.

I only get up to see my dad a few times a year but I'm happy with the fact that he gets so well looked after.

Since our Aunt moved to Spennymoor in May 2017 she has been treated remarkably well. As soon as we walked in to view this care home, we realised this was the place for her. Every member of Management and Staff were welcoming, helpful and caring. We are kept up to date with her general health and well being which has improved considerably. When a person has to give up their home it is a very big step but she put in her own words "Spennymoor is a home from home". The people at Spennymoor have given her family peace of mind knowing she is well cared for and happy. No praise is too high and the recent award given to Spennymoor is well justified. Thank you to everyone concerned.

We really can't praise Spennymoor enough. Well done to the manager and all the staff!

The care home have been very diligent in looking after my mother for the last 3.5 years. They have been quick to inform us of any health problems which have required input from the family and are always supportive and helpful.

I've visited this home many times over many years and have always found the staff very friendly and helpful. When my father needed to move to a home after a hospital admission, I was very pleased to find a bed available at Spennymoor. The number of residents are relatively small and the building is an older one with character which makes it more like a familiar, family home. The staff numbers are hence smaller and my father knows all the staff. Before going to Spennymoor, my father would sleep all day and be awake all night. This has now been corrected and he is now eating and drinking properly and looks much healthier and his hygiene is better as they can hoist him into the bath. He does play dominoes with staff and residents. There is generally a different activity on every day including an exercise class on a Friday. He gets frequent teas and coffee with biscuits and the meals are varied. They always help him into and out of the chair or bed so he doesn't fall.

We have a cousin who has been a resident for the past ten months in Spennymoor. We are extremely happy with the care she is receiving. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who care for her and they always greet you with a warming smile and "Hello" when we visit. It is lovely, clean, warm and really is "home from home."

Very friendly, warm and welcoming. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff. Lovely atmosphere, all residents seem to be happy and contented. Mum loves it there and although she's only been there almost four weeks, she's settled into the home and really does call it her home. Very satisfied with her care at the present time.

My father was a resident at Spennymoor for 2 and 1/2 years and the care and surroundings were fantastic. Having worked as an on-call GP for many years in Bolton, it was always extremely rare to have an emergency call out to Spennymoor as the standard of care was so excellent - but when you did get a call out, the meticulous cleanliness and exceptional care of the residents - who are all treated as individuals rather than as a homogeneous group - was noticeable.

My mother was critically ill last year and with the help given by the care, compassion and encouragement of the staff at Spennymoor, she is soon to return to her home. The food is outstanding - all home cooked and smells excellent. I could not recommend a care home more. The staff give such good care as second nature, it does not come across as a chore. They ensure that residents have activities to keep them active and occupied. A lovely lady comes in every week to do hair and someone else will do their nails. Brilliant.

My father was in Spennymoor for 2 years, received excellent care and our family had peace of mind. It was a hard decision as we loved him so much but he was very happy and we were right until the end. Thanks to all the carers and management.

It has been a pleasure to meet such a kind and competent team.
