Came here for respite care and, as I am on my own and was recovering from a broken hip, decided to stay. Never thought I would want to be in a home but have been pleasantly surprised. It is not perfect but everyone is kind and thoughtful. The building is very nice and lovely gardens. I think it would be difficult to find a better place.

Crabwall was home to my mother-in-law for 4 1/2 years until her recent death. She was safe and happy here. Staff looked after her with care, humour and dignity. Even as her health deteriorated she was encouraged to be involved in daily life within the home. Whenever we visited we were made to feel very welcome. Any queries we had were dealt with quickly, effectively and sympathetically. Throughout the last days of her life, she was made to feel cherished. She was monitored so carefully that we knew she was receiving the best possible care.
Thank you for your positive comments about our home, it is touching to hear how happy your mother-in-law is and how she received 'the best possible care' here at Crabwall Hall. The team will be touched by your kind words. Best wishes to you and your family.

We are pleased with my mother-in-law's new home and environment, she has settled. We find the staff very pleasant and caring and it is particularly important that there is a constant visible staff presence.

I am always very impressed by the warm welcome I get when visiting my mother-in-law; every member of staff (and a good few residents) that I pass have the time to smile and say hello. I would like to praise the activities staff in particular, who know the residents really well through their 'one-to-one' meetings and work hard to ensure residents' interests are met and encourage participation in the many varied activities.
In all the time my mother has been at Crabwall Hall Care Home, I have found the home, staff, residents and residents family members very caring. There is always a lovely atmosphere when visiting and staff are very approachable and understanding when we have any concerns regarding my mother. We...
I would highly recommend this home to friends. I can ring anytime, day or night, and always get a warm response.

It was with some tribulation that I first entered Crabwall Hall Care Home as a resident, my first and only experience of this sort of facility. I wouldn't have been concerned; I found myself in a comfortable, ensuite accommodation which was quiet with a pleasant view overlooking the garden. The staff and other residents are very friendly and helpful - first names used throughout. Breakfasts are on trays and all other meals come in the comfortable dining room, adjacent to the cafe lounge. There is a large TV, supplementing the smaller units found in personal accommodation. This is a very friendly and comfortable place to be, which I return to frequently.
Excellent care home.
Excellent care home.
Lovely home. My Mother stayed here for one week's respite and was treated like a queen. All the staff were friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere. The home is well run, clean environment. No smell. My mum will be back.

Many thanks for your lovely comments about Crabwall Hall. The team really love to hear about the good stuff. Coming to stay for a short period of time is a lovely way to try out our service and I am so pleased that we were able to make your mum’s stay special. If you took advantage of using the Magic Moments Club App during this stay, news about the home’s upcoming activities is available in the What’s on section – we’d be delighted to see you for any of the events and activities we have planned in the run-up to Christmas. Hopefully, we will see you again soon.
Home felt very friendly and welcoming, with genuine warmth and laughter between residents and staff. Very clean and all the staff I spoke to seem to really care.

With no previous experience of communal living, it took a while to adjust to a new lifestyle but the staff are friendly and helpful in introducing me to new practices and routines.

I was very impressed with how sufficient management were to assist me with emergency respite from hospital. I was so worried about going back home alone. I have booked further respite to come again in July.

The staff are excellent and caring, the food is also excellent, I don't eat red meat and was always offered an alternative. I will certainly recommend Crabwell Hall.

Hi, my name is Kirsty, and I am the General Manager here at Crabwall Hall.
I have been working in the care sector since 2008, when I started as a Community Care Co-ordinator, and have predominantly worked with the elderly ever since. In 2017, I moved over to work for Barchester Healthcare at Crabwall Hall in Chester as a Deputy Manager. After a couple of months, I stepped up to Acting General Manager and then stayed there as General Manager for 7 years, before moving over to Iddenshall & Beeston in September 2023 as a natural transition to the next stage of my management experience. Crabwall Hall has always felt like my home, and so I have made the decision to return.
I am proud and privileged to have had the opportunity to care for the older generation, and I hope to continue to do so for many years to come.
Outside of work, I like spending quality time with my partner, son, and our dog Alby. I have two parrots, who I am training to talk. I also enjoy swimming, exercising, and keeping active.
I look forward to welcoming you to our home!

Hi, my name is Michelle, and I am the home administrator here at Crabwall Hall. My role is varied, from meeting and greeting our residents, their families and visitors to the home to supporting the home's General Manager with the finance and administration duties within the home.
Every day is different here at Crabwall Hall. The best part of my job is meeting new people, showing them what we provide and getting to know each person well as they move in and become part of the Crabwall Hall community.
I look forward to you visiting and showing you around our wonderful home!

Hi, I'm Ian, the Head Chef here at Crabwall Hall.
I have been a Chef since I left school, starting on what was then a YTS training scheme - it was the making of me, and I have embraced every opportunity since then.
I joined the team at Crabwall in 2015 and bring a wealth of experience from working as a Head Chef in contract catering and in an oriental restaurant. I enjoy being creative, and I listen carefully to what Residents like and dislike to make sure I deliver a menu that suits their needs. I even take special requests.
Not just a Chef, I enjoy building relationships with our Residents, chatting with them in the dining room and immersing myself in their day-to-day lives at Crabwall and being part of the community.

Hello, I'm Karen, and I am a member of the Activities Team at Crabwall Hall.
I have been a member of the team since 2012. We adopt a whole home approach at Crabwall, so I also help out in the kitchen and care when needed too - we all work together.

Hi, I'm Kath, Head Housekeeper at Crabwall Hall.
I have been at the home since 2019, joining as a Cleaner, before trying my hand as a Carer, which I loved. However, when the opportunity came for the Head Housekeeping role, I knew that's where my strengths were.
It's important to me that Residents live in a clean and tidy home, as it supports their wellbeing. I want the home to feel welcoming for families and visitors, and for Residents to feel proud of where they live.
Please come and see us at Crabwall, visit our Residents and enjoy our home with us.
