Thank You for this lovely review, We do our best to make all Resident feel welcome and to be part of our great family here at The Knights.

My mum has been at the knights for nearly 3 months and for most of this time she has been poorly with infections. This has made her care needs greater and her behaviour has been more challenging. The care staff are caring, respectful and kind. The manager is always there to support and keep on top of things. The senior carer has been great, voicing concerns and keeping me updated. The home is clean and food is good. The activities are great for the residents also. I made the right decision moving her from another home and am grateful for the care my mum is being given.
Thank you. Reviews tell us what we are doing well and what we can improve. Having a family member working together with the care team is a bonus. your support has been invaluable in supporting your mum and enabling the team to meet her needs. Thank you once again.
I am extremely happy to leave my mother in their care and feel assured...
I am extremely happy to leave my mother in their care and feel assured she is being looked after and as such would highly recommend The Knights.
Thank you so much, Gary. Reviews mean such a lot to us. I love to say that The Knights team and residents are one big family and we help each other. Our residents are so important to us and we love each and every one of them. I am happy that you entrusted your mum to our care.

My mother needed respite care with a view to permanent residency into a care home. We approached the managers at The Knights care home and we were guided through all our options with care and compassion. Both managers went above and beyond to make sure my mum had everything she needed to make her experience the best it could be with very short notice. Since returning home after her quick respite break my mum decided she needed permanent care. I contacted them again and they guided me through what was required and secured a room that has surpassed my mums expectations. I can't thank them enough for their guidance and the care and understanding of my mums needs. I would recommend The Knights for anybody looking for a safe environment for their relative's
Thank you for your lovely comments and it is so satisfying to know that your mum is happy and feeling safe.
My hubby has been in The Knights Care home for two and a half months. The staff are amazing especially the manager. She is always at the end of the phone if you need to speak to her and will do her best to sort out any problems. My husband is happy and well looked after and have no problem...

Thank you so much for your kind words. We care about our residents and their families. I am happy to see that the service we give, is responsive and caring.
There is always a choice of menu or, if...
All in all, it was the best thing for Mum to move her into the care system and we couldn’t have chosen a nicer place.
Thank you so much for your kind review. As you know me and my staff well, it means so much for the staff to know that you as a family member can see how much we care about our residents.

Mum has been resident at The Knights for around three years now after the dreaded day arrived when we finally realised that home care was no longer an option due to her dementia. There have been many ups and downs during the period since (the downs being mainly due to incorrect medication prescribed by doctors), but no matter what mood Mum was in, the love and care shown to her by all the staff was beyond dedication. Although Mum's age and condition mean she is viewed as just a statistic by most doctors the management team at The Knights were always in 'my corner' when I was fighting 'the NHS system' for the best care and treatment for Mum...the manager and her staff will never know how grateful I am for this support, but, to put it bluntly, I don't think Mum would still be with us today without their love and support and I can't say thank you enough. The activities at The Knights are second to none and most days are like a holiday camp rather than a care home.
Thank you, Ian, you worked just as hard as we did. Without your support, we would not have got your mum through her illness.
My father, who needs lots of care, with deaf/blind medical needs, and who has dementia, is having excellent care and support. I and my family feel he is safe, cared for and well looked after and all his needs are taken care of by the brilliant staff. My father is lucky enough to have been allowed...
My father, who needs lots of care, with deaf/blind medical needs, and who has dementia, is having excellent care and support. I and my family feel he is safe, cared for and well looked after and all his needs are taken care of by the brilliant staff. My father is lucky enough to have been allowed to take his dog with him who has now also become part of The Knights family. The kindness of the staff who organise lots of unique activities for their guests is amazing. Can't praise them enough!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Seka and your dad have become a big part of our Knights family.
Mum has been a resident at The Knights Retirement Home since June 2021. Mum has advanced dementia and challenging behaviours at times. Initially, Mum was quite unsettled and not compliant with personal care, being verbally and physically aggressive to staff on occasions. The manager kept us...
We are so grateful to the management and staff for their ongoing care. It is a relief to know she is being cared for so well.
Thank you, Jayne, yes we have had ups and downs with your mum and her care needs. But she lights up our world when she sings and smiles. We all worked together to ensure that we met her needs. You have worked as part of our team to get the best outcome for your mum
Mum has been a resident at the Knights since May 2021. She has dementia and is registered blind and severely sight impaired so things haven’t been easy for her or the family. It was hard to put her in care but we feel we have done the best for her. She is very well cared for at the Knights and...
The food is of good quality and looks delicious and the staff are kind and caring as is the manager.
Thank you for your review, Elaine, and your lovely comments. It means a lot to the team when we see that our residents are happy and feel cared for.

I would recommend this home to anyone seeking respite or care for a loved family member.
Thank you. As you well know, our residents are lively and just love to have a party.

My mum has been living at The Knights Retirement Home since November 2021, after having to leave our family home of over 50 years. She settled in so much quicker than I ever imagined. She is well cared for and happy. The entertainment and activities are non-stop which keeps everyone engaged and busy. Thank you, everyone.
Thank you, Kerry, for your kind feedback. Yes, your mum settled in very quickly, but it helps when she has a family that is so committed to their mum like your family is.

The Knights Retirement Home feels like a home. Staff take great care to know residents' individual needs and preferences whilst respecting and celebrating differences. My aunty's happiness is always the priority in discussions with carers at The Knights which is greatly appreciated by her family. The excellent activities programme offered to residents also ensures a happy and active environment. We are very grateful for the excellent care given by The Knights team.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Knowing that our residents' families see how much we love and care for our residents is amazing.
The manager could...
I would definitely recommend The Knights if you are considering residential care.
That is just what we want to hear. We as the staff work in our residents' home, so if your mum feels The Knights is her home, then we are doing a good job.
As expected my mum wasn’t happy about having to leave her home but she could no longer manage with family help and carers in her home. As...
Mum was moved to a bigger room, we were encouraged to bring mums own furniture, photos, TV and record player. She loves the entertainment and food and is more relaxed. She can go to her room at anytime or stay in one of the lounges. We are always welcome to visit.
Thank you, Sheila, but you really shouldn't feel guilty as your family is so kind and loving to your mum. Any feedback is a positive step forward, but your review is so lovely. Thank you.
They do lots of activities which she loved, and there is a real lovely feeling when you're there.

Thank you for your kind feedback. Caring for our residents when they are poorly or at end of life is just as important as caring for them when they are well. Death involves the resident's family, therefore, we will always support them during this sad time.
My husband was given the most kindest, brilliant care and love I could ever have hoped for. He was not the easiest person to deal with yet the manager and all her team were superb and still are. I follow them and know how fantastic they are with every single resident. I would happily live there...
My husband was given the most kindest, brilliant care and love I could ever have hoped for. He was not the easiest person to deal with yet the manager and all her team were superb and still are. I follow them and know how fantastic they are with every single resident. I would happily live there myself. When my husband died with COPD, they were the kindest people I have ever met and they sorted everything for me going far well over what they were paid to do. The Knights will stay in my heart forever. I recommend to whoever I can and know, whoever goes, will be treated with total love and respect. Thank you for giving me chance to put in writing.
Thank you so much, Val. Our residents are our family and their families are our family too. The Knights are all about living their best life and sadly their deaths too.
We are overall very...
The manager and the team are always on hand to answer any queries and issues are resolved swiftly.
