We take all feedback seriously, and we're pleased that following conversations with you earlier this year, the changes we put in place around housekeeping and daily routines have made a visible difference. That kind of open dialogue with families is something we actively encourage at Kestrel Grove - it's how we keep improving.
We've invested significantly in strengthening our care and nursing teams over recent months, and the standard of person-centred care across the home continues to be a real priority for us. We're proud of the commitment our staff show every day, and we're always looking at ways to build on that further.
Thank you again for engaging with us so constructively.

My husband was cared for in Kestrel Grove for only the last 12 days or so of his life. However, he was promptly assessed and admitted when he needed help quickly and was given considerate care by all staff, who worked within what seemed to me a very professional framework, well led by the care manager and deputy care manager. Good food and pleasant surroundings were a comfort. Residents I chatted to had a lot to say in praise of their care. Thank you.

Our dad lived at Kestrel Grove for 1 and a half years. He had a lovely refurbished room which overlooked the beautiful garden and he took great pleasure in the summer months sitting outside chatting with his fellow residents and lovely staff. We only have praise for all the staff who went above and beyond to make Dad as happy as he could be. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the kitchen staff were always willing to make Dad anything he requested. They were always around to answer my many questions and never made me feel as though I was bothering them. Dad was always treated by the staff with great kindness and respect. He looked upon them as his friends and enjoyed the banter that went on. We will always be grateful for their care and am so glad that Dad was able to spend his last years at Kestrel.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful and personal review for us here at Kestrel Grove Care Home. It is our great privilege to care for all our residents and knowing that we made your "dad as happy as he could be" during his last years means the world to us.

My mum came to this wonderful care home 15 months ago as she could not look after herself anymore. She is very happy and feels safe here, we can visit any time of the day and we are always welcome. The food is very good and she has her hair done every week, there is an activity every afternoon which is very social, her room is lovely and warm, the home deal with hospital visits and the doctor can be called at any time, on Friday they have a drinks morning where the residents meet up. The staff are wonderful and they will help you with anything you want help with, I visited quite a few homes and I can honestly say I am very happy with Kestral Grove.

I was fortunate in finding such an excellent care home for my sister, who was was resident at Kestrel Grove for just under a year before she passed away. From the onset there was a warm and welcoming atmosphere and I felt confident that my sister, whose needs were complex, would receive the dedicated care that she required. It was clear to me through regular visits and ongoing contact with staff at at all levels over the past year that my sister was receiving exceptional care, which I know involved considerable attention and patience. My sister's carers were warm and caring - really wonderful - and treated her with great respect and dignity. Senior staff who operated an open-door policy were always accessible and communication was excellent. Overall, an exceptional care setting and one which I would unhesitatingly recommend.

I am the Home Manager at Kestrel Grove Care Home, and I consider it a privilege to lead a team dedicated to delivering exceptional, person-centred care. My career in healthcare spans most of my adult life, beginning as a registered general nurse in surgical and community settings before progressing into residential and nursing home management. Over more than a decade working within the care home sector, I have come to regard it as the most meaningful and rewarding environment in which a healthcare professional can serve—where clinical skill, human connection, and compassionate leadership converge every day.
I am deeply passionate about enriching the lives of every resident at Kestrel Grove. To me, outstanding care goes far beyond meeting physical needs; it means honouring each individual’s identity, history, and preferences, and creating a home where people feel genuinely safe, valued, and understood. I believe that a positive culture—built on respect, dignity, transparency, and kindness—is essential to achieving this.
My vision for Kestrel Grove is one of continuous improvement and collective pride. I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of clinical governance and CQC compliance, fostering a skilled and stable workforce, and strengthening a vibrant, inclusive community where residents can thrive. Through reflective practice, strong communication, and compassionate leadership, I strive to ensure that every person in our care receives not just good care but truly exceptional care.

Hello! My name is Vina, and I am the Activities Coordinator at Kestrel Grove.I am 50 years old, happily married, and have two children and a much-loved dog who keeps life busy and joyful! I enjoy shopping, watching TV, and, most of all, chatting and connecting with people. My personality is loud, fun, and full of energy — if you don’t see me, you’ll definitely hear me!
I have been working in activities and resident engagement for nearly six years, a role I truly love. Supporting residents to feel happy, valued, and included is something I am very passionate about. I believe laughter, meaningful interaction, and shared moments make a huge difference to well-being.
I have been part of the Kestrel Grove team for nearly six months, and I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know the residents, their families, and the team. My aim is to bring a wide variety of fun, inclusive, and engaging activities to suit everyone — from lively group sessions to quieter one-to-one moments.I look forward to continuing to create positive experiences, special memories, and lots of smiles for all residents at Kestrel Grove.
