I came to visit my friend's mam who is staying for 2 weeks' respite care. I was pleasantly surprised by the home, the way it was run, the cleanliness, the way the residents were treated and the sheer amount of activities and nice things going on each day.

We are obviously very anxious about our dad coming into Abbotsfield. We need not have worried at all. The staff are thorough and efficient, caring, kind and attentive.

The food always seems varied and nutritious. Abbotsfield is well maintained and always spotlessly clean. Mum's room is lovely and has a nice view, but it would be nice if the walls were more colourful. Cannot thank the devoted staff enough. The entertainment, trips and celebration days are fantastic.
Thankyou for your kind words, we are really pleased that you are delighted with the care and support that your mum is receiving. If you would like to pop in and talk to the Manager, she can discuss some colour options with you and your Mum for her bedroom.

My mother was a resident here from May 2023 until her death in January 2025. The care she received from the staff was second to none, especially during the last 2 months of her life when she required palliative end-of-life care. Two sensor staff and three other staff came to her funeral church service. They showed my mam and our family genuine care and support, as did the local manager at the home. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thankyou for taking the time to leave a review. We are very grateful for your kind words and will pass them onto the care team.
In January this year we had to make the very difficult decision to move my mum in to a care setting following a hospital admission. The staff at Abbotsfield have made this transition so much easier for us as a family and my mum. The care my mum receives is excellent and she is well looked after.
