Review from Jaqueline R (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Abbeywood for 11 years. She has been treated with care, respect and dignity. The current staff are friendly, empathetic and kind. The owner of the home is friendly and approachable. If needed, the GP is called quickly. I have no complaints about the care of my mother.

Review from Greg K (Son of Resident) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Abbeywood Care Home is excellent. All of the staff are very caring and thoughtful . The staff know every resident really well and have so much patience. We moved my mum from a care home that didn't care to Abbeywood where they treat my mom as they'd treat their own family members . It is kept really clean and the cleaners are so lovely with my mum .

The owners and management have been very understanding through the stressful time we are having with probate and selling mum's house . It is run as a caring care home and not a corporate business .

Overall Experience

My mother went into Abbeywood in December 2024. She said that she was made to feel welcome and very comfortable from day one. She's got no complaints whatsoever. She's made some new friends and she enjoys her time there. She has a good appetite and says the food is first class and always served nice and hot. The staff all seem to be very pleasant and happy to be working there. Her bedroom is always very clean and comfortable.

Overall Experience

My sister moved into Abbeywood in March 2025. The staff and management were so helpful in helping her to settle in with a warm welcome and friendly caring staff. A gift to welcome her to the home and gifts at Easter and Mother's day show they go the extra mile . It has given me peace of mind that she is being well cared for and she loves the food !!

Reply from George Durkin, Operations Manager at Abbeywood Care Home

We really appreciate your kind words. It's been wonderful to get to know your sister, learn all about her, and we're thrilled to know you feel gratified with the care she's receiving.

Our mum spent 9 months at Abbeywood before having to move, sadly, due to needing increased nursing dementia care needs.

It is a very much a family atmosphere & the staff were very good to mum in every respect even under very challenging circumstances.

Hi Elaine, thank you so much for your lovely words. All the Abbeywood team wish mum the best and hope she is settling into her new home.

Review from Michelle C (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mum has been in Abbeywood almost 12 months now and honestly, I could not be happier with the level of care she has received whilst in there. She struggled to settle due to her confusion and anxiety but the support she and I received was brilliant, and she loves her Abbeywood family now. It's so nice to see her smiling and happy. The carers always go above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble for any of them, they genuinely care for each and every resident with a smile on their faces ensuring that their dignity is respected and they are valued and still treated like people that matter. The communal areas are lovely and bright and a really nice space to sit and the bedrooms are spacious and clean. The food is really good and there's usually something going on that the residents can get involved in. Really could not find a better place to care for my Mum, can't recommend enough.

Reply from George Durkin, Operations Manager at Abbeywood Care Home

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It truly means the world to us to hear how happy you and your mum are with Abbeywood. We understand how difficult those early days can be, and we're so glad that with the right support and care, she has settled in and now feels part of the Abbeywood family. Seeing her smile and thrive is exactly why we do what we do.The Abbeywood Team

Review from M S (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A lovely Home with a bright, airy lounge for residents and well-maintained gardens. There are a range of facilities available such as an on-site hairdresser and a variety of activities for residents to participate in. The Staff are always cheerful and friendly. My Mum enjoys the food (and has gained weight) and has always looked well-hydrated since coming to live here (which was an issue for her when at home). She is safe and well looked after.

My mother has been in Abbeywood for nineteen months, she seems to be very happy and settled.
The staff are all friendly and always have time to talk and tell me how my mum is.

There is always music or a film on to keep them entertained, all the residents seem to be happy.

Review from B M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident in Abbeywood since October 2022 previous to this she lived on her own, independently for many years. The staff do a fantastic job of looking after her. She has a lovely room and likes to spend time in her room along with the option of socialising with other residents in the main living area. For the first time in a long time, I know she is well looked after and safe. Great place.

Review from Debbie D (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at Abbeywood for almost two years now and, although she had some teething problems initially, lately I am really pleased with the way she has settled. She is content and obviously well looked after. The staff are friendly and caring and the management are attentive, informing me when my mum needs anything or she has any problems. The home is always clean and bright. There is a nice menu and a list of events to stimulate and entertain the residents. Overall Abbeywood is a good, well-run care home and I would recommend it.

Review from Pam L (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Dad has been a resident at Abbeywood since the early days of Covid, during that time, like others, we were unable to visit Dad, however the management team where quick to respond by providing a high-quality contact free unit to enable families to visit their loved ones, we will always be so grateful for that.
Since being able to visit again, I flagged up an issue that was important to me, the team listened and acted on it quickly and efficiently.
We will be forever grateful to all the team at Abbeywood for all they did during the terrible days of Covid and their continued provision of high-quality care to our dad, and support to us.

I can't comment on the food and drink, I've never had the pleasure. Dad has no complaints when I ask him though.

Review from Katie R D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My grandma has lived here for over four years now and we have been very happy with the care she has received. The staff are friendly and helpful, always seem to be busy with the residents, the home is clean and always tidy and the updated decor is looking fab. I would recommend this home to anyone who asked. I would also like to say my grandma has seemed comfortable with her surroundings since she first arrived and always says how nice the home and staff are.

Review from B A (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum was a resident at Abbeywood for two years ten months, she was widowed. Independence and mobility were encouraged and it was her choice how she spent her time. Sometimes she chose to be alone in her room, she enjoyed to sit by the entrance, and chat with residents and staff passing by. She enjoyed days out with family. Time was spent in the well-maintained garden, tending to residents window boxes viewed from the dining room. Mum shared the canal trip, Christmas party, Blackpool was brought to the home for the day, which brought back memories of the seaside she had enjoyed whilst raising her family.
We were always confident Mum was safe, warm, well fed and entertained. Visitors are encouraged and made welcome.

Mum's health deteriorated and it was with great sadness, but in her best interest to transfer to a nursing home. During this very stressful time, we continued to be extremely well supported. Highly praise management, care staff, cooks, domestics and handyperson who work as part of the Abbeywood team.

My mother is well looked after and I have no problem leaving her in the capable hands of the carers. They are really quick to spot any difference in health or behaviour and get the doctor in straight away.

Very happy with the home, all the staff are pleasant and very friendly.
Lots of patience with residents and treat them with respect.

It was a very big thing for my mother to move into the home, after being very independent in her own home, but after a few blips, she has settled in very well and seems to be quite happy and content.
