Summerhill

My Mum went to Summerhill in Alnwick for respite after a stroke. The staff were amazing and the home was very accommodating, fitting us in last minute. My Mum loved her room and the staff. Thank you Summerhills for your excellent care for my Mum in a difficult time.

Great People, Great Service, Very Kind & Helpful.

Superb staff - who go up and above the job description. Highly professional and curteous superb from the top down. I highly recommend the care home everything I could ask for.

Dad has been in Summerhill since last May and continues to be well looked after by the very caring staff. Any concerns or worries are dealt with quickly and efficiently. A few weeks ago he turned 99 and the staff made the day very special with a big cake and singing. I was very touched by the fuss they made of him.

If I could give summerhill more then 5 stars I would. Fantastic home fantastic staff and amazing management staff. From the moment my mum entered summerhill she has been looked after with total care and made to feel like she still has independence. On arriving management were outside waiting for my mum and to show us around. I can not recommend summerhill enough.

My mother has been living in Summerhill for over a year now. I couldn't be happier with the care she is receiving. The staff are fantastic, very caring and professional. They treat Mother with such kindness. The home has entertainment and activities 5 days a week for the residents to participate in if they wish to. I would definitely recommend Summerhill.

After a stroke my aunt was unable to go home and for 6 months was a temporary resident. Finding such a welcoming and supportive care home was a Godsend. The staff made a massive difference to her recovery and cared for her with great kindness. She loved the food, all the activities and chatting to the staff. The management were helpful and supportive as we navigated her move to sheltered accommodation. I would highly recommend Summerhill to other families.

I consider myself so fortunate to have found this care home for my mother. I cannot praise the management, staff, activities coordinator and chef too highly. My mother spent her final eighteen months here and considered it her home from home. She absolutely loved the staff and I know they loved her.

This care home is excellent. They look after residents very well and provide entertainment which is based on the entertainment you would expect at a resort. The management and staff are truly great.

Her medication was reviewed and recalibrated to a very positive effect - something that her local GP had never managed previously. Ongoing healthcare is managed well, with patience and a sense of humour.

Room is lovely with a nice view. Quiet location with adequate parking near to town centre.

This home is fantastic. The staff are wonderful; they are so caring and make sure residents are made to feel special.

My granny has been in for respite. She came home and told us she immediately wanted to put her name down for a permanent place. We were so happy with the care she received. My mum had her first holiday in five years, and I can't say thank you enough! The management team are truly caring, and this is obviously passed down.

Mum moved to Summerhill for respite care and then temporary care. She eventually passed away at the end of January. The care and attention given by the staff was excellent. The attention to mum's sometimes complex needs was invaluable. The family were made to feel very welcome - part of the Summerhill family. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble. We would certainly recommend this home to anyone.

I will be forever grateful for the care that you gave her.

Thank you so much!

Mum stayed with Summerhill care home for two weeks at the end of June. Couldn't ask for a nicer, more helpful team to look after her. Staff were always friendly and polite, always close by to help when help was required, and never complained. One staff member even phoned in from home to check if my mum had received her jug of water. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Mum was a long-term resident of Summerhill Care Home. She liked to remain in her room so that the carers were as much part of her life. They took the time to talk to Mum when they could, during lockdowns this was especially important. I shall be forever grateful for the kindness and caring they gave Mum over those years. I would absolutely recommend Summerhill to anyone who is looking for a kind and caring place for their relative.

I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful, caring staff at Summerhill who have looked after my 91-year-old mum so well since her arrival at the end of January 2022. Because of Covid restrictions, it was five weeks before I could visit my mum for the first time, and I was so pleased and relieved to see she was happy, safe and settled. She loves her room and all the carers who look after her. I could not ask for more.

A caring, professional team of lovely staff and ancillary workers. A small home with a good atmosphere. Summerhill has been redecorated, new floor, coverings and furnishing, has good gardens and practical facilities. A safe, clean, modern facility for our loved ones - not a huge machine.
