Keate House works hard at providing a varying programme of social activities to which all residents are encouraged to join whenever they wish.
The Keate House staff are notable for their good humour, approachability, efficiency, and for providing the easy-going and 'family-feel' ambience within the house.
Despite our initial fears, my Mum is very happy at Keate House. The team there have looked after her during some difficult times and always been amazing.
Very happy with the care and attention given by so many of the carers and all managers/supervisors in the team. Many thanks for looking after my mother so well.
At all times the care she has received has been first class.
The staff are always warm, caring, patient and treat the residents with respect.
The rooms and facilities are kept clean and well furnished and regular activities are arranged for the residents' benefit.
I have been dealt with, as has my client for whom I am attorney in an attentive and kindly manner.
Since being at Keate House he has settled in very well and has a good relationship with the staff.
As a family, we have peace of mind that Dad's needs are catered for and he is looked after very well.
