My husband has received the best of care at Comfort House. He has complex needs and has been treated with kindness and respect. As his needs have changed, the staff have adapted to them. I have also been treated with kindness and respect.

I would like to thank the staff and management at Comfort House, for the well-being of my father who has dementia, he's been getting good quality care from all the staff, he seems to have settled in and made some new friends, and he was very isolated when he was at home, I am not worrying as much now because he's getting the care he so deserves.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear your positive feedback and will share this with the team at Comfort House.
Pleasant home, always warm and welcoming when visiting. Carers are pleasant and helpful when asked questions and when providing care. Will always contact the family if any change in the condition of the resident or if any concerns.

My mam has been here for over 2 years, the staff are very caring and she is always dressed nice. The only problem is with her food but hopefully, this will be sorted out.

Thank you for your review and also feedback about your mum's food. We will ask the team to speak with you so we can look to get this improved for you. Your kind comments about our team will certainly be passed on to them all.

My Grandad was taken into Comfort House on New Year's Eve. This was one of the hardest things we as a family, have had to do. We were all emotional and upset. We were greeted at the entrance of the home by management staff, and after talking and sorting things out for 5 minutes, we felt at ease. The way they spoke and were talking about what happens, and what they do, was second to none and really professional. They gave us a sense of relief that they would take good care of my grandad and we left as happy as we could, considering the circumstances. I follow the account on Facebook and seeing all the activities and photos makes us all smile. The staff and management go above and beyond. When we FaceTime my grandad, he seems so happy and that he has taken to all the staff really well. I would highly recommend Comfort House to any family that has to make the hard decision and put a elderly relative into care. I can't thank the staff enough for making my grandad's time so enjoyable.
Can I start by saying a great big thank you to the Management and staff of Comfort House, our lives were totally turned upside down and we were left heartbroken by the fact my Father-in-law had to go into emergency care. We packed all his stuff up and made the hardest journey of our lives; myself,...
I tell everyone about them.
My mam was a resident for 5 years at Comfort House and had physical disabilities in addition to dementia. I can therefore comment on the care given to her by the manager and her staff over a long period. I can also comment about the level of care and support that she received right up to her death...
I have recommended Comfort House to other people needing care for loved ones.
During the lockdown the residents here have had regular social events to distract them from the fact that they have not been able to see family and friends. The photos must have reassured their families so much.
The staff do everything they can to look after their residents, very caring and always something going on. Due to the pandemic, there was mostly no visiting, but once it was allowed, they went out of their way to arrange their garden for safe visits. I am able to ring up to chat with my mam, and...
Well done, Comfort House!
My dad was taken in on New Year’s Eve. I've never been so heartbroken in all my life. The staff that welcomed us at the entrance were unbelievable, they had me convinced within minutes they would take good care of him and us.

My dad was taken in on New Year’s Eve. I've never been so heartbroken in all my life. The staff that welcomed us at the entrance were unbelievable, they had me convinced within minutes they would take good care of him and us. We are now into the 5th week and I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart I’ve seen an unbelievable change in my dad, he’s back to his old cheeky self when we FaceTime him or vice versa. He has the staff laughing at him and the staff are so genuinely caring towards him. I would personally like to thank the management team and their staff for all their hard work and effort and care they have shown my dad and my family as a whole, thank you very much Comfort House for everything.
Comfort House offers a home from home environment. Staff are very welcoming friendly and always go the extra mile to make sure needs are met. I would definitely recommend Comfort House to friends or family who require respite care or even long term.

My mam has been in Comfort House for over 4 years and during this time there have been some ups and downs but now I feel I must congratulate the staff for their care of my mam. Mam has had a difficult time over the last 12 months and the management arranged for one to one care for her which is...
Mam is 104 this month and even though we won’t be able to celebrate with her I know the staff will make it a special day for her.
Keep up the good work.

As I live abroad, my visits with my mum are limited. I visited in December, it was a delight to walk into Comfort House. The manager and staff had certainly pulled out all the stops to make the lounge and common areas very festive. Christmas trees and decorations filled the rooms and it certainly put a smile on my grandchildren’s faces. I’m sure the residents appreciated the efforts the staff made!
I visited my mum last week, but unfortunately, she was taken into hospital. The deputy manager rang to inform me of mum’s situation, her professionalism and handling of mum’s situation helped very much to put my mind at rest.
The care, compassion, professionalism and help given by all the staff is to be praised. I was very happy when mum was discharged from hospital and returned to Comfort House, as I knew she would get the care and attention needed. They go above and beyond their duties to make the residents feel as comfortable as possible!

I cannot thank the lovely, hardworking staff enough for the excellent care and support they have given mam these last two years she has been resident here. There has been such hard work by all members of staff to ensure all residents are happy and the social media page is amazing as I am able to keep up to date with all the activities on offer, from painting, cookery, gardening, singing, playing games, the list is endless. It’s only a shame that all relatives feel unable to participate in family events, like the lovely end of summer garden party, as the staff throw their hearts and souls into organising such events, to benefit the residents. Thank you so much Comfort.

My mother moved into Comfort House on 16.9.19 after a two-week stay in hospital suffering from dementia. She was very confused and agitated. I was given seven days to find a residential care place. The lady from Comfort House visited the hospital to assess and was fabulous. All the staff at Comfort House have been brilliant at settling in and looking after this 93-year-old lady. The staff have been wonderful to me and my family. It is a relief that she is at Comfort House.
It's always a pleasure to visit. The staff are all most helpful.

Comfort House provides a clean comfortable safe environment for our mother. Carers are professional and very respectful to residents and family alike. They have provided extra support tour mother at times of personal bereavement. Personal items are kept well laundered and she is always well dressed. The redecoration recently carried out has brought a more modern look to the building.

Used a number of times over the last three years for respite care for my father. Always found them to be accommodating and friendly to deal with when making bookings and queries. Staff appear friendly. On a negative - Clothes always seem to go missing during a stay, glasses too. Had booked my father to stay this Christmas - made the provisional booking in September. However, received a letter on the 8th December informing me that due to staff shortages he could not stay. It has left us in a difficult situation and am currently trying to find another provider. I would not trust them again with respite care.
