On researching care homes I read each review for Kirkby House and came across one that began - ''if you're in the awful, heartbreaking position where you have to find a care home for your loved one, you can rest assured that Kirkby House is a fantastic place for them.'' - I was in that exact predicament I had done various 'care home tours'' - I arrived 'un announced' which was not a problem (this was a big decision, involving 'my mum') I noticed immediately how clean it was, the residents looked cheerful, happy and content, a food menu on display to view what had/would be eaten, various daytime activities, numerous visiting areas to visit in, access to an outside maintained secure garden - my mum loved being outside in the garden at her home. The atmosphere was that day and still is to date lovely, friendly, and welcoming. (Christmas was beautiful/special) Every member of staff is outstanding, going above and beyond with care and love. I can honestly say that Kirkby House is the best.

We sat down with Mum expressing our concerns for her safety and asked if she would like to go and visit Kirkby House, we did this for a week or so while getting support from mums social worker, thankfully mum had agreed she would like to go and live at Kirkby House (this was during September 2024).
It is now 4 months on and Mum is doing amazingly, all her needs are met, and mum is safe and settled at Kirkby House.
The family cannot thank the staff enough for the amazing work that they provide for Mum, all her dietary needs are met, and mum is provided with everything at the home while the family still maintains some normality for Mum in the outside world, she can still do the things she wants outside the only difference is family members will take mum out and then bring her back to the home.
Thank you.

My mum has been a resident at Kirkby House for just over three years, and I have seen a significant improvement in her physical and mental health since she first arrived. I cannot thank the staff enough.

My mum is really happy in the home, and we are very pleased with it. Mum has been there a number of years, and as her condition has changed, the home has adapted the provision of care. It is a happy and friendly place to visit.

My mum is very happy at Kirkby House, we didn't think she would settle as quickly as she did. She is well looked after and catered for and the staff and management are always on hand to speak to. The elderly have a lot of activities to keep them occupied. I would recommend this care home.

We as a family are pleased with the care our mum receives. We feel confident in leaving Mum in the care of the lovely staff. They are very approachable and friendly. It is obvious they all work very hard.

My mum was a resident at Kirkby House for nearly eight years until 21/12/2023 when she sadly passed. In all those years we as a family have never had any cause for complaint. The staff are second to none, nothing was ever a problem. My mum was very happy there. She was safe, well looked after by staff that really care. Every time I went on a visit there was some sort of activity going on. In my opinion it's a fantastic home with fantastic staff.
The care given by all staff at Kirkby House is excellent and I would recommend this care home. The rooms are clean, spacious and well-maintained. There is always a warm welcome here and everyone goes above and beyond to help support families.

My mum went for respite, the staff were some of the most caring people I have ever met they should be so proud of themselves. They were exceptional in all areas. Well done Kirby House, you deserve the highest recognition.

The staff cannot do enough to help, even the admin staff. It is so clean, with no smells and the girls are lovely. Residents are well looked after, I would recommend the home to anyone. They definitely need to be at the top of the pay scale.
