Wellcroft have been amazing right from the beginning. I was really worried about moving Dad into a home and had looked at a few that I didn't like, but walking into Wellcroft immediately felt warm, welcoming and homely. All the staff have been incredible but a special mention to Sam who held my hand through the whole process. They really do live by the mantra of supporting the whole family not just the resident. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Staff are very caring. Mum receives a lot of attention. She likes to do sing songs in the afternoon and take part in activities in the lounge in the afternoon

I am very pleased with care that my mother has received this past two years. The management are most efficient and professional. They are always friendly and accomodating, as are the rest of the general staff. I have had no issues. I have had meetings concerning my mother's health, that were instructive and beneficial for all parties. I have witnessed many activities, arranged or conducted by the staff, that have been excellent. Cleanliness is of a high standard, as is security.
Thank you for such a lovely review! We're so happy to hear that your mum has been so well cared for at Wellcroft over the past two years. It's also great to hear that you've always felt welcomed, involved and kept up to date. We'll be sure to share your kind words with our whole team.
There's been lots going on through the summer. They had a fish and chip van, and ice creams. Which is great for the residents. The home really supports families and keeps us well informed with my mum's progress. She is cared for well and is always up and dressed and clean when we visit.

Thank you for your lovely words, which we will be sure to share with our whole team. We've enjoyed the summer at Wellcroft - fish and chips and ice cream are always a winner! We're so pleased you feel supported and kept up to date, and that Mum is happy and well cared for.
Mum has just moved into her new room to allow more space now that mum has reduced mobility. Mum is well cared for. There has been lots of activities organised throughout the Summer. My mum loves sitting outside in the little garden.

It's great to hear she's been enjoying all the summer activities too, and we know how much she loves spending time out in the garden! Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for Wellcroft- we will be sure to share this with the team.
Staff are so friendly and supportive, always happy to offer advice. Knowledge of my father is reassuring. The only disappointment is that Father now has a full beard, having always been clean shaven. While I understand the difficulties of encouraging him to be shaved.

Following my review about neglect, abuse, humiliation and theft from my father it's 9 months since he died and it had taken this long for this dreadful place to ring my brother to collect dad's sentimental belongings and to no surprise all his original paintings have been stolen, a painting that meant a lot to him also stolen, his watch and glasses all missing all they have returned us a book that wasn't his and a few pictures - they have not had the decency to even return the wedding ring they forced off his finger. I reiterate what a nasty thieving place this is who didn't deserve my father. No morals or care for anyone except what they can steal from vulnerable residents. Very very horrid.
We are sorry for the loss of your father and appreciate how precious personal belongings and memories can be following a bereavement of a loved one.

We are sorry for the loss of your father and appreciate how precious personal belongings and memories can be following a bereavement of a loved one.
We take allegations of theft very seriously. You have raised similar concerns about the home on a number of previous occasions and each of these concerns have been investigated fully by us and the police. On each occasion it was concluded that the allegations could not be substantiated. We have responded to you through the appropriate channels and explained the outcome of those investigations. We therefore regret that you continue to feel this way about Wellcroft.
We are also sorry that your view of Wellcroft does not reflect the positive experiences shared by many of our other families and reviewers. Our team remain committed to providing our residents with kind, compassionate care and treating every person, family and personal possession with care, dignity and respect.

My mum has been in Wellcroft since August 2026, a difficult time for my mum and family. However she soon settled in. Sam on reception is exceptional and helped me through all the necessities, clothes tagging etc. Since January 2026 there has been a big change in the home. Corinna has made a huge difference since being promoted to manager. A new ALF, Jenny has also made a huge difference to the feel of the home, with singing, music and lots of activities, and invaluable has been the 1:1 time with residents.. Corinna the 'new' manager and Ed, deputy are both amazing, working towards their management training whilst working full time. Thank you both. All the staff are helpful and friendly. When I've visited staff have popped their heads around the door like family, calling my mum Aunty Iris which she loves. The meals are great with a chso pleased Wellcroft accepted my mum. She is well cared for and safe. It means so much. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It means a great deal to hear that your mum has settled so well at Wellcroft and, most importantly, that you know she is safe and well cared for. We especially loved hearing about 'Aunty Iris'! We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Wellcroft.
Further to my last review, may I reiterate the wonderful care my relative has received.

Further to my last review, may I reiterate the wonderful care my relative has received.

My brother has been a resident since July 2024. I would highly recommend Wellcroft to anyone needing care for a relative. From the moment I walk in, the staff are friendly and helpful. The home has lots of activities going on, which is nice to see. The interaction with staff and residents. The home is always clean, and rooms are comfortable and overall a good size for single residents. It was nice to see a choice at meal times and also come on taster days to try the food.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation.

There were different sitting areas for the residents and these were comfortable and spacious.
I was impressed by the bedrooms, which were clean, fresh and uncrowded.

My father spent almost twelve months in Wellcroft before his death having spent eighteen months in a more expensive home (of which he couldn't make use of the facilities) and after six months with us after his dementia diagnosis. Moving to Wellcroft was fantastic, the staff are wonderful making his stay almost as if he was with family. The home is clean, warm froendly with resident treated as individual and with care plans tailored to their needs. The effort the staff put into the Christmas celebrations was incredible. I don't think he could have cared for better.
We're really pleased to hear your father felt so at home at Wellcroft and that the team made such a positive difference to his care. It means a lot to know he was comfortable, well supported, and enjoyed the Christmas celebrations.

Where to start - this is the most exceptional 'home from home'. The environment is very welcoming, the staff are warm and helpful. The areas are kept spotlessly clean and it smells lovely too. It is obvious that all the staff have been 'selected' to provide a relaxed and comforting ambience to the residents and visitors. No matter what day or what time I have visited my overall impression is, 'this is somewhere you can entrust your loved ones to be 'cared' for to the highest standard.' My friends room is spotless and she is very happy and relaxed. She said the food is lovely too.
We are delighted to hear such positive feedback , especially your friend's happiness and the high standard of care she is receiving at Wellcroft. It's incredibly rewarding to know that our efforts to create a welcoming and comfortable environment, supported by our dedicated and warm staff, are so clearly appreciated. Thank you for recognising the hard work and commitment of our team.
