Our mum stayed at Abbotsbury Care Home recently for several weeks as an interim placement between hospital discharge and returning home. We found all the staff to be professional, helpful and friendly. This was Mum's first care home experience and as a result of the staff's excellent care and attention she settled quickly and was very happy there. Mum and all the residents were treated with great care and respect at all times. My brother and I do not live local to Mum so communication through the staff was very important to us. They were always keen to let us know how Mum was getting on when we phoned and happy to facilitate Mum talking to us directly whenever we rang. We would be happy to use Abbotsbury again should Mum need a care home in the future
Everybody in the home from managers to cleaners was very friendly and helpful at all times. They all treated me as a friend and I have made some new friends with the staff. I would recommend this home to anybody who needs a good care home.

There has been a lot of improvement recently. Had a wonderful day thank you.
My mum is warm, well-fed, clean and happy amongst friendly staff and residents. She thrives in her surroundings and input from those around her. When visiting her family is updated and kept in the loop either verbally or by phone.

The new ramp makes a huge difference and the rooms are being freshened up which is lovely.
Highly recommend the home for anyone looking for a nice place for their loved one to be cared for.
My cousin is really happy and kept safe. She loves the food, staff are always really good with her. The new management team are amazing and have really improved the home, taking time to listen. So happy to know that my cousin is so well looked after.

Mum has been in the home for just over 12 months overall she seems happy in herself, she suffers from dementia. I would like to see more activities going on with the residents and outside activities in the summer. I feel there is a lack of communication on some levers maybe on a social media...
Mum has been in the home for just over 12 months overall she seems happy in herself, she suffers from dementia. I would like to see more activities going on with the residents and outside activities in the summer. I feel there is a lack of communication on some levers maybe on a social media platform, it would be nice to see her joining in activities. the room is always clean and tidy and she always enjoys her food.

The manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure my uncle was supported and put at ease as he gets very anxious in unfamiliar settings. He was treated with dignity and respect throughout.
I would definitely recommend this lovely home.
Thank you so much for this review. We loved looking after your uncle, and we are excited for him to visit us again. Please stay in touch.

Thank you for the review we’re very happy your dad is settled with us! We love looking after him.
My nan stayed at Abbotsbury for two weeks of respite, and we could not be happier with the care she got. The staff are very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. My nan was happy and content. We can't thank the staff enough for how well they looked after her.

My wife lives at Abbotsbury, since she has been at the home I do not recognise her. I tried for so long to care for her but she was not the same person anymore. The staff at Abbotsbury have cared for her in a way that I could not have done myself. They have got her the professional help she needed and now she is more like my wife again. Some days I have thought that I could care for her at home again. However, she has made so many new friends and has an amazing relationship with the staff. Apart from marrying my wife, it is the best decision I have ever made. Thank you to all the staff and management at Abbotsbury. Top-class service.
The staff treat my Aunty with dignity and care and always respond positively to any questions I have about her welfare. What more can you say, they are all kind and very dedicated to a job most of us could never do.

Fabulous care home and staff. My dad is so happy and well looked after. The care home is a bright, clean and beautiful home. The facilities are excellent and the staff look after the residents with dignity and care.

Hi Diane, thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. It is lovely to read your positive comments on the care and support received by your dad. Our staff take great care and respect when providing support for all our residents and their loved ones. And we are particularly proud of the incredible work they do each and every day.
I cannot speak highly enough about Abbotsbury Care Centre and the staff. My auntie is like a different person since becoming a resident and it is clear she is extremely happy here. Visiting is a pleasure and the staff couldn't do more.

Extremely friendly and welcoming environment. Staf are very genuine and caring and find a level on which to react to each resident's needs.

When my partner was admitted to the home in September 2019, I was very upset, I was going to have to change my way of life. The manager and staff were most caring. Due to Covid-19 this year has been like no other. The manager and staff have been wonderful. They have kept me updated on my partner's progress each week when I phone. They have been caring about my health and wellbeing as well. I am no having a Covid test each Friday at the home so that I can visit my partner once again.
We felt we had failed our mum after looking after her ourselves for so long. The care, compassion and collaborative approach of this team is beyond compare. We still feel involved in decision making and contributing, yet not guilty as we are leaving her in such safe, loving hands. Thank you!
