Review from A F (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This is the best nursing home my mother has been in. The staff are caring, attentive, informative and helpful. I truly trust the staff and know 100 per cent my mother is safe with them.
It is kept clean and so are the residents. It's like home from home for my mother and she is very happy there.

I would definitely recommend the nursing home to anyone who would like a recommendation.

Review from Linda L (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend The confers highly enough.
My mum became a resident there in 2019 when she was discharged from Hospital to them for end of life care, almost immediately they set to work, clearing up her bed sores , cutting her nails, moisturising her body,doing her hair and generally 'caring' for her. She hadn't been eating at the Hospital but they managed to get her to eat, always gently persuading her.
My mum was always clean, her bedding was always changed regularly and her hair was often in different styles. Myself and my family were safe in the knowledge that mum was not only clean and tidy she was so well looked after. Right up until the end she was treated with respect and dignity and I cannot thank the staff there enough, they really are angels on Earth.

Overall Experience
We cannot thank the manager and her team enough for the truly amazing care they showed our Auntie. The home delivered on their promise to tailor care to the individual. We could not have had a better experience.

- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
