My husband spent 1 week in respite care, it was at very short notice and they were very obliging.My husband wasn't keen but whenever any of the family visited he was bright and alert, smiling. Something which we hadn't seen in a while. That made it much easier to leave him whilst we moved house....
The staff were always welcoming when we visited and we realised that they had been talking to my husband about his life.

My husband stayed for the first time for 1 week respite care. The room was delightful, everything was clean and well cared for. The staff and management were fantastic, so caring, treating him with respect and as an individual He will definitely return for either respite or long term care.

My mum originally went into Darwin House for respite after being in hospital, however she decided she would like to stay permanently. Sadly she wasn't in the home for long when she passed away peacefully. Throughout my mum's stay and passing the staff were amazing, kind and supportive and treated her with such dignity. I would highly recommend Darwin House. It is a wonderful care home.

I booked into Darwin House for a weeks respite care (8-15 Sept) following major surgery. It was a wonderfully reassuring experience when I was feeling very vulnerable post-op. Staff were all very kind and attentive. Nothing seemed too much for them. I cannot thank them all enough and would not hesitate to recommend this home. My room was very comfortable with a lovely view over the garden.

I was able to ring staff at 2am and I git a swift and helpful response.
I never thought my mum would settle in a care home. Unfortunately, due to failing health, this decision was taken out of our hands. She needed full time care, at quite short notice. We visited a number of care homes, whilst mum was still in hospital, and after visiting Darwin House there was no...
I was just glad mum's last few months were spent somewhere that became "home", where she felt safe and I had quality time with her, as a daughter, not just her carer.
I have now visited this care home about once a month since my friend was admitted. I have always found everything about Darwin House extremely pleasing. I have not experienced 'food' enough to to tick the excellent box, but what I have seen has been good. The atmosphere is at all times welcoming...
I have now visited this care home about once a month since my friend was admitted. I have always found everything about Darwin House extremely pleasing. I have not experienced 'food' enough to to tick the excellent box, but what I have seen has been good. The atmosphere is at all times welcoming and friendly. I cannot comment on value for money as I am not a family member of the lady I visit.

My aunt's move to Darwin House in Many was at very short notice and I had concerns as to how she would cope. Thanks to all the staff she has settled in very well. She is a very independent lady but they have catered to her various needs with patience and compassion. I am very grateful because living 2 hours drive away complicates matters but I can relax because she is in such good hands. Thank you all.
Thank you for your lovely review. we are honoured to look after your aunt.

Excellent care by Darwin House for my mum who was there for respite. The staff are amazing - attentive, caring and considerate, they go over and above to help to provide activities and entertainment. The food is fab and Mum felt very welcomed and well looked after. Only one point to note - some of the furniture looks dated and in need of a bit of TLC here and there. I would highly recommend.
Always made welcome on my visits and my cousin is well looked after. I can't judge on the activities or value for money.
