Overall Experience

My aunt has recently become a resident of Keate House and we have been extremely impressed by everything about the care home. The staff and management have all been so welcoming to our family and aunt, and she has settled in really well. This is not a normal care home and the staff cannot do enough to support you and my aunt has been really well looked after. The activities are great for the residents and it's a warm and fun place for them to live.

Overall Experience
My father is very settled at Keate House. He has been a resident for over 4 years. He is well cared for and staff are kind, considerate and compassionate. Any concerns or issues I have had, (there have been very few) are taken seriously and acted on.
I trust the staff, and know they have my Dad's best interests at heart.

Many thanks to all the staff, who each make it feel like a family home.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure to care for your father and we are glad that you appreciate that our residents are family to the staff. We are pleased that we have been so reactive to any concerns and that you have had a positive resolution each time.

Mum has been here over 8 years now. It has a great entertainment team even though she is passed joining in now.

Overall Experience

My father-in-law was looked after superbly. He loved his time at Keate House. The staff and management were very kind throughout his time there, especially in his final days. Our family and Dad were treated with care and dignity throughout. We were always greeted with a smile and kept up to date at all times. Dad also enjoyed the entertainment provided by the team too. His happiness was all that counted, and that is what was given.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential Home

We were honoured to look after your father-in-law during his final days and we are so happy that we made them as pleasant as they could be, for both him and for all of the family. His warmth around the home and all of you will be sorely missed.

Review from A S (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my father entered Keate House, after living independently until well into his 90's, we've all been pleased and relieved that he has settled in so well.

Whenever we see or talk to dad, we always privately check on how he is doing. And he always mentions the kind and helpful staff. I think another big draw for him is the excellent food. He's always loved his food, and this was one of the things that helped him decide on Keate House.

The medical help and support has also been great, with Keate House staff liaising with health professionals where necessary.

All of us, including dad, are very happy with Keate House.

Reply from Andrew Jardine, Accounts Assistant at Keate House Residential Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. We couldn't be happier with how well your father has settled and that he is enjoying his time with us, we will do our utmost to ensure that he continues to enjoy his time with us and remains happy and well cared for.

Review from Elaine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum has been living at Keate House for almost 7 years. Throughout the whole time she has been well looked after and entertained. As her dementia has deteriorated and her needs have changed, the staff have adapted to her needs. What really stands out at Keate House is the number of staff who have been there throughout the whole period of Mum's stay. This includes many carers and staff working in other functions. This creates a strong, friendly and knowledgeable atmosphere that feels like one big family. I struck lucky when I found Keate House. I would not want Mum to be anywhere else.

Always greeted in a positive manner when I visit. Staff know all the residents and can talk about the residents' families confidently. They are able to name family members. Residents are always treated with dignity and respect. Staff ensure residents eat and drink well. Constantly give drinks out and prompt them to drink. A lovely home that has looked after my mum perfectly.

My mum arrived here and was in desperate need to be cared for. From day one the staff have been amazing so kind caring for my mum. The premises is always clean, well maintained, welcoming. The activities, meals available is excellent. Mums room is well decorated, clean, tidy. Mum is now living her life, even though she has dementia I feel that through the dedication and care from the staff she is able to enjoy her life. Most importantly I know mum is safe, well cared for and that is all I can wish for.

Our Mum has been living at Keate House for over two years and she calls it 'home'. It is home: her home, a home where the most wonderful, kind, and caring staff look after her with dignity, love, and professionalism.

She is safe and happy, eats well, and has lots of fun joining in with the many amazing activities which are organised daily. We certainly could not have chosen a better place! Thank you to everyone there.
