After initially visiting this home my husband and I were warmly greeted and shown around the home. We were looking to find a home for a 95-year-old lady who we looked after. After visiting other homes in the area we were very fortunate to be told a room had become available. The staff and management have all made this lady feel welcome and cared about. After some distressing times this lady, after a week, says she is, in her words, excited about her new home.
This is all down to the staff from the cleaning staff right through to management.

My mum has been in the home for a week now after a long stay in hospital. We were dreading it but the staff have been fantastic, both with my mum but also with us, her family. They have been supportive and caring, whilst also being professional. They are always there with advice and have made what could have been a very traumatic time, so much better and it is a relief to know mum is in such a lovely, safe place.

My father-in-law did not spend long in Wansbeck before he passed away suddenly. However, in this short time I could see we had picked the best place for him. The staff were always pleasant and caring towards him, even during his agitated periods. They did all they could to comfort him, treating him with great care, kindness and dignity, which was also extended to us. My father-in-law really appreciated all the staff and what they did for him, he said they were all lovely to him we knew when we left after visits, that he was receiving the best possible care, this reassured us a great deal which was a great comfort to us. Thank you ever so much.

A fantastic care home, all the staff are excellent and very caring and give the best possible dignity. Had looked around several care homes before choosing this one and cant praise them enough, have never had any cause for concerns of his welfare and the standard of his care is second to none in every aspect. This home is to an exceptional standard. Being able to visit my dad and see him as happy and content means everything. I cannot thank any of the staff enough for the fantastic job they all do.

This is a high quality care home which is evident from every aspect. The care and dignity given is the best. The staff are highly knowledgeable and very friendly. Cleanliness all through is of a very high standard both of residents rooms and public facilities. The residents are well catered for with lots of activities for those that wish to take part. The food is excellent with lots of variants. My husband is blind, deaf, has cancer and Alzheimer's, but I have never had any cause for concern about his wellbeing. I am so glad that I chose this care home as I don't think I could have chosen a better place.
