My aunt moved into Dovehaven House just over one year ago. I visited regularlyly until lockdown and observed that the staff are very caring and interact well with the clients. My aunt enjoys her food and is very happy with the meals there. She has a nice comfortable room. I have visited her today for the first time since lockdown in the new pod. I was happy to see her condition has not deteriorated in the last 9 months.
Thank you for taking the time to send this review. I have passed your positive comments onto the staff team within the home. The team always are striving to go above and beyond for all their residents to ensure that this very difficult time is as pleasant as it can be.
Wow, what can I say? The new Pod is amazing, and I can’t praise all the staff enough for what they do, to make each visit with my mum a great experience. Big shout out to team Dovehaven, keep up the excellent work you all do.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I have passed on your positive comments to the staff team. I am so pleased that the Pod is working as it should.

I was very anxious about my mum going into care, and Dovehaven House has exceeded all my expectations. The management and staff have been wonderful, they have been responsive to all my questions and any concerns I've had, and they have succeeded in getting mum settled in her new home. I can't thank everyone enough!
I am pleased that the homes team have made the transition smoother for you and your family.
I will pass on your thanks to the staff team and Manager.

It means a lot.
Thank you so much for your kind words Barbara. We will share this with our team.

My mum was placed in this home as there was a breakdown in care during the pandemic (lived with her husband). The staff and management have happily provided us with a daily update of my mum's wellbeing. She has settled in extremely well. They have no Covid-19 at the home which is due to their rigorous application of health and hygiene (re cross-infection). My mum has previously been a resident early 2020 for respite and I visited frequently. Staff and management are wonderful.
Thank you so much for your kind review with regards to mum's care here at Dovehaven House. I will ensure this wonderful review is fed back to all our staff during our Daily Flash Meeting tomorrow.
The staff are friendly, the building is clean. The staff are helpful especially when mum was very poorly.

Since mum went to live at Dovehaven House, the level of care has been outstanding. All the staff have wonderful caring natures and treat mum with the utmost of respect and love. Mum has vascular dementia and despite mum having very little communication, they do have a good level of understanding her and always ensure she is clean, safe, comfortable and has everything she needs. Communication between the staff and myself is also excellent with both management and staff providing me with regular updates on mum's condition covering both practical and nutritional needs as it has progressed. I would highly recommend this care home. Everyone wants the best for their mum, and I feel we have just that with this excellent team at Dovehaven House. Thank you.
Thank you for your comments. I have passed on your thoughts and praise to the staff at the home.
