Having visited many care homes, I know how outstanding Abbeydale is. It is welcoming, clean, fresh smelling and very smartly and comfortably furnished. The care provided for my very elderly and frail mother is exceptional and the staff are all so pleasant and attentive to the residents. The food provided is excellent with plenty of choice. The minibus takes residents on regular outings and entertainment is provided both in-house and by many visiting experts eg art classes, exercise, quizzes, games, singing etc. A warm and homely atmosphere pervades Abbeydale - there is nowhere like it!

I visit a friend on a weekly basis. The staff at Abbeydale are incredibly welcoming, polite, helpful and very pro-active. My friend struggled to leave her home and move into a home but she has been made so welcome looked after to a very high standard and has settled in and praises all the staff commenting they cannot do enough for her and she feels very privileged to be in Abbeydale. We are all delighted.
All staff are caring and friendly. The home is spotless and the ambience and food are first class.
It is more like a small hotel than a care home.

They wanted Abbeydale to be a place where residents could enjoy a luxurious hotel-like experience, with exquisite dining, quality entertainment and superb on-site facilities, infused with outstanding care services to create the ultimate care home.
