Monkstone House has a homely feel and is decorated nicely for Christmas and other special occasions. The staff who work there are very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. It seems to be well run, and the visitors' room has come in very handy, as you are welcome to have a cup of tea and homemade cake. The garden is immaculate and wheelchair friendly with plenty of places to sit. Communication is good, and all the residents look happy and settled. The weekly live singer is a hit, and I've also been present when there has been Sunday church services. Monkstone House has a lovely feel and I've been happy with the care Dad is receiving. ,

My uncle was a resident at Monkstone House for three years until he passed away. When he first got there, he settled in quite quickly in the home-from-home atmosphere. During his time there, he was made to feel comfortable and safe. His every need met by friendly, familiar faces, he was treated with kindness, compassion and respect. Our family were very pleased and reassured by the excellent care he received. We were able to visit at any time, were made welcome and felt supported. I will be forever thankful for the care and support my uncle and family received from staff and management, and we highly recommend Monkstone House Care Home.

Mum has been with Monkstone House since March 2026 and even though it's only been a few weeks we have been happy with the staff and management who are helpful and supportive. They helped make mum's transition smooth and she seems content and we can see she has taken part in the activities held, which pleased us as we wondered if she would. I feel mum is cared for in a warm and friendly environment and any questions I've had were answered quickly. Of the care homes we visited while deciding we felt Monkstone had a nice outlook and pleasant surroundings with a homely feel. So far I've been very pleased.

My mother was a resident at Monkstone House for 8 years until she passed away. Throughout that time she received wonderful care. It is a genuine home from home and staff had said to me that their attitude is that 'residents don't live where the staff work, but the staff are privileged to work in the residents' home'. There is a friendly atmosphere and families are always welcome. It is clean, fresh, nicely decorated and comfortable. Mum enjoyed crafts, and music activities including Christmas events and other celebrations, and making the most of the garden during the summer months. The care and support that Mum, and our family had during the Covid pandemic was exemplary. During the final few years of Mum's life when she had more advanced dementia she was treated with utmost respect and kindness. We knew all the staff working there, as there wasn't a high staff turnover, and Mum felt safe with familiar faces and surroundings. I can highly recommend Monkstone House.
Thank you, for such a lovely review and recommendation. It was a privilege to care for your mum over the years, and your kind words mean a great deal to our whole team.

From our perspective the Home is kept spotlessly clean and the staff, without exception, are friendly and supportive to the visitors. They treat my mother with kindness and respect and she feels safe in the Home. The Home has regular activities and events such as singers coming in. I have no complaints.

My mother was in Monkstone house from Sept 2020 to Nov 2022. She didnt really want to go into a care home but unfortunately couldn't cope at home alone. Luckily my motherinlaw was also in Monkstone House so it made it a bit easier for her. My mother soon made many friends Management and staff were very responsive and helpful and my mother was looked after very well. She enjoyed the activities, arts and crafts, plus having her hair done and the bible readings. Staff were amazing during my mothers end of life care and her passing. We as a family couldn't thank them enough for their support. I would recommend Monkstone House Care Home.

My mum has been at Monkstone Care Home for over four years now, and the care she has received has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, the team has supported her through everything, always showing genuine compassion, patience, and understanding, no matter the situation.
From the management team through to the care staff, her needs are consistently met with kindness and professionalism. Just as importantly, her wishes and preferences are always respected-nothing is ever too big or too small to be given proper care and attention.
My mum truly loves living there, which brings an enormous sense of comfort to our family. It's not just a care home to her-it's her home. Knowing that she is safe, happy, and so well looked after has lifted a huge weight from my shoulders.Thank you to everyone involved.
