Abbeydale provided an exceptional caring environment during my mother's stay. The staff were kind and committed and took great care including staying overnight in a hospital waiting room with my mother. The facilities at Abbeydale and the food are excellent, and the overall atmosphere is one of a friendly family home with guests. A special place for elderly care.
Thank you for your kind review, I am so pleased you were happy with the care your other received here.

My mum moved into the home in April and the owners and staff team have gone out of their way to help her settle. There is an ethos of care and empathy which underpins all their practice. For example, during a recent medical episode which was distressing for my mum, Sunitha was so kind in her approach, reassuring and supporting her calmly while trying strategies to address symptoms. Whilst in hospital for a short stay following this incident, the owner and lead / key carers were in regular contact with me and the hospital showing genuine concern and ensuring continuity of care on her return. The interior and exterior of the care home are beautifully maintained and the food is excellent but, most importantly, the care has been exemplary and nothing is too much trouble.
Thankyou so much for this review Jane, I will pass your feedback onto the staff and management. Your mother is a delight to have here and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes, Emma.
Our family experience as Abbeydale looked after my mother was of a very high quality team delivering fantastic care. My mother felt at home the second she moved in. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The quality of the food was superb. I would strongly recommend Abbeydale.

Thankyou very much for the review, we really appreciate you taking time out to let us know how we are doing. It was a pleasure looking after your mum. Kind Regards Francesca Dey
My mother has been transferred since going to Abbeydale. I can't speak more highly of the care team. Mum has her life back and is so happy. Thank you Abbeydale.

Thankyou Oliver, your very kind words are really appreciated. I will make sure they are passed on to all the wonderful team here at Abbeydale.
Abbeydale is a well run care home with caring and professional staff. The care my father-in-law received was excellent. It was reassuring for all of the family to know he was so well cared for.

It is with sadness that my father passed away on the 28th April 2026, after spending 15 months at this wonderful care home. My father was not the easiest of residents to look after, however the staff at Abbeydale treated him with kindness and compassion attending to his every need. Abbeydale is immaculate, it's always a pleasure to visit, the staff from the owners to the carers are just lovely. A special mention must be made of the beautiful award winning gardens, the are stunning. Oh and the cakes they make are delicious!
Thankyou for the review Nick. I will pass your feedback onto the team and the owners who I am sure will be very pleased that you appreciated the care given your father (and I agree with you about the cakes - we are extremely lucky to have such wonderful chefs).
It's truly a wonderful home...
It's truly a wonderful home from home where nothing is too much trouble. Mum has lived here for 3 years and it's been exceptional throughout.
Thankyou, your kind words are much appreciated, I will ensure they are passed onto the staff here at Abbeydale.

The staff are without exception amazing. Their courtesy, patience, kindness, knowledge, experience and levels of care are exemplary. The overall environment is maintained to a 5 star standard, the food quality and presentation being awarded the same in my view. I live many miles away from dad as do my siblings but we are all comforted knowing that he is comfortable, happy, well fed and watered and being cared for by a remarkable team of people. Thank you the families, and my appreciation is beyond words. Paul.
Thankyou Paul your kind words are much appreciated i will make sure they are passed onto my wonderful team.

Staff are quick to respond to requests or concerns. Inside our residents room is always spotless as are the communal areas and grounds. I always feel welcomed by all the staff.
Thankyou so much for your kind words we really do appreciate the review. i will pass this onto all the staff.
Always attentive to the needs of mum and welcoming to us as a family. The staff, food and available activities are fantastic. The ethos of Abbeydale is one where dignity, care, compassion and love shines through. Thank you

Thank you so much for your review. We are so pleased that you and your mother are happy with Abbeydale, she is a delight to have with us. We hope to see you again soon.
Nothing but praise for this home. My mother has moved from another home which was more a nursing home and has completely changed in personality. More independent, engaged, lively and about ten years younger. Thank you.

Thankyou so much for your review, we really appreciate it. You mother settled in here really quickly and well and she is an absolute delight to have with us. I am so pleased you see such a positive change in her.
Efficient, kind and caring. Always ready to help with problems of any nature. Especially when one is new and emotionally new. One always feels safe. Very observant. Firm in standards. Firm in advice.

I am the trustee for a resident at Abbeydale. She has very specific dietary needs to ensure the medication she takes for 4 separate chronic conditions is not cancelled by various foods. Ergo, she requires an individual diet. Plus gluten free, plus potassium problems. The chef and the home take exemplary care to comply with what is required. In addition, the residents' care needs are met in every way. It is a pleasure to visit, to see the care taken by staff and the way the home is managed. I cannot recommend this home highly enough; the care given is exemplary.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. It is very rewarding to hear that Residents and their friends, families and connected parties are happy with the care that is provided by the team here at Abbeydale.

I am profoundly grateful for all Abbeydale and its outstanding staff offer.
Thankyou so much for this wonderful review. The staff will be delighted that you are so happy here.
When my mother suffered a stroke and was admitted to hospital the care and consideration by the staff were incredible. We could not have asked for more. While a resident my mother has thoroughly enjoyed her stay.

I am so grateful to all of the Abbeydale staff for making my mother's 90th birthday celebrations memorable. They always provide superb care throughout the year where any request is met with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. However, they push the boat out for residents' special birthdays and celebration days like Christmas. Mum was absolutely thrilled to receive huge helium birthday balloons, a delicious birthday cake complete with table fireworks, and pretty cards and presents from the owners. Our large extended family was made very welcome at a private drinks celebration set up in the spacious garden room surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was a truly wonderful day and I was very touched by the kindness of everyone at Abbeydale. It truly is a home that cares.
Thank you for your lovely review of Abbeydale, the Pavilion certainly makes a lovely setting for celebrations. We look forward to seeing you soon when you are next visiting Mum.

I have physical needs. I have dietary needs. I have early stage dementia. I have lived here five years. I feel all my needs are met. I feel management and staff go above and beyond to support us. We have activities, in house, bus trips to a very interesting variety of venues, all part of the package. Occasionally there may be a trip to a theatre, cinema, or a longer bus trip where one leaves before lunch, where one pays for lunch or tickets but not for transport. I cannot imagine how the service could be improved.
Thank you so much for your review and kind comments.

During my working years I was a guest speaker at many companies annual conferences, always staying at five-star hotels, accompanied by my wife and in worldwide locations. However, when my wife and I could no longer take care of ourselves, because of age and infirmity, I did not expect to be able to find a residential care establishment which would not only match our experience of earlier years but, in the case of Abbeydale, exceed in every aspect the level of service we had experienced in the best hotels in the world. In addition, of course, Abbeydale provide a range of personal services, essential to the elderly, that no hotel could even contemplate offering. My wife and I counted ourselves fortunate to have found such a special home in Abbeydale.
