My dad has dementia and was in hospital & we needed to find a new care home for my Dad. It was a very stressful time, but as soon as I got in contact with both the deputy and the manager, they were so reassuring that they would look after Dad and meet his needs. All the staff have been so kind and can't do enough for him, and the fact he has settled in so well is testament to them. I couldn't be happier with the home, It's spotless and is full of love for the residents. Would highly recommend Abbotsbury.
It's heartwarming to hear that your dad has settled in so well and that you have been happy with the care, kindness, and welcoming environment he has received. Your lovely comments mean a great deal to the team and will be shared with everyone at Abbotsbury. Thank you for placing your trust in us.

I am delighted by the care and support my mum has received since moving to Abbotsbury in January this year.
As a family we have found the staff to be very kind, supportive, encouraging and they show mum wonderful respect and warmth.Small things can mean so much and in particular I was very touched that when I needed to take mum to a hospital appointment (her first time leaving the home since moving there) on return the staff member opening the front door said to mum 'welcome home' Just a couple of words but so kind.
Mum arrived in a very vulnerable position in her life. From the moment we contacted the home to now 2 months later I am delighted with mum's progress. She's a different lady. She laughs again, she's eating properly, joins in the activities which she was adamant she never would.
Karen, Andy and all the team are very supportive to both mum but also me. They knew how difficult this was for us as a family but their support has been wonderful.
We are truly delighted to hear how well your mum has settled into Abbotsbury. It means a great deal to the whole team to know that she is now laughing again, eating well, and engaging in activities she once felt she would never take part in.

My husband went into Abbotsbury, it saved my life as he was very violent, they saved my life and I had a lot of help from staff at Abbotsbury. I can not thank them enough and one was my rock, she is a lovely person. I am sure he will be there because of staff but one is my favourite because I have watched and she is very good with all the patients. I think she know her job and as I have said I feel very lucky for my husband to be there with good people. Thank you very much x

The staff at Abbotsbury are kind and caring generally. They treat the residents with respect which is always good to see. The food is mostly home cooked which again is a positive aspect and the cakes are delicious, the chef not only makes good food but also has a great relationship with the residents, taking the time to chat. I feel that maybe there could be more activities provided but on the whole I'm quite happy with mum's care.

My friend seems well, she is always tidy and well kept. She is happy most of the time and gets on well with the staff who try their best to accommodate her needs. As a friend of a resident I think she is lucky to live in such a lovely place.
