Review from Tony C (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 30 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Being our first time in sourcing a nursing home, you hear the horror stories and to have experienced finding a home that would take her was also a massive learning curve. Out of 60 nursing homes only two accepted my Mother-in-law and thankfully Kestral Grove was one of them.

I cannot praise them enough for how they go above and beyond. The care is top tier and not only are the head nurses exceptional but every nurse/carer I have witnessed looking after her. The lady who works front of house has been amazing from the start and cannot fault her enthusiasm when going above and beyond. I hope it continues because I have recommended this home to so many people. I literally cannot fault it and I would give them 10 plus because they have that home down to perfection.

Reply from Monika Gilice, Home Manager at Kestrel Grove Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Kestral Grove Care Home. We are delighted to be able to go above and beyond to ensure our resident's comfort and well-being.

Overall Experience
I cannot praise Kestrel Grove highly enough. My dear mum was here for two months receiving first class palliative care before her sad passing at the end of July 2023.
The house is warm, welcoming and clean. The grounds are beautiful in the sunshine and very well kept. The rooms are tastefully appointed. The food is excellent, great choices and very accommodating for a changing palette, as they were for Mum's changing needs.
The jewel in the crown here are the wonderful staff. They treated my mum with such great respect and care; as one of their own, be the senior nurse, care assistant or kitchen hand. They were also very accommodating and caring to us, the family, nothing was too much trouble.

The nursing team is second to none, their door is always open to talk or for questions. The care givers are so super lovely. We feel extremely lucky that Mum spent her last few months in this special place. It has my highest recommendation. Eternally grateful.

Review from Margaret R (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother (ninety-seven) stayed at Kestrel Grove after an accident at home and three months in hospital. We were so impressed with everything about the home, especially the staff who are outstanding; hugely kind, diligent, patient and highly professional. Mum wanted to live back at home and is pleased to be back there, but misses the staff. The home is very well run, the premises are kept beautifully, including the grounds, and the food is very good indeed. If we had any queries or requests, the door to the manager's office was open for us. Kestrel Grove is highly recommended by our family.

Review from June N (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum went from hospital into Kestrel Grove for respite with original thoughts for two weeks to help get her on her feet after a serious illness. She is a fiercely independent woman her focus was to get back home. A care plan was put into place on her arrival. The care and compassion shown by nurses, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff and activities organisers, to help Mum reach her goal was nothing short of amazing. Mum had a couple of setbacks and the very knowledgable nurses were quick to act, in fact, saved her life and from more hospital stays. Covid rules and regulations constantly changed which was a nuisance but necessary and the correct measures were put in place to allow daily visits.
The house is always clean tidy and welcoming. The home owners office is at the reception desk, not many business owners make themselves that accessible - a real tell-tale sign of someone who cares about their service users.

Mum made it home after 4 months, if need be she would be very happy to return.

Review from Sheila P (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In April 2019 following many falls at her home of 60 years, my dear mum reluctantly went into Kestrel Grove as a resident.
This was obviously a difficult time for my mum, myself and my sisters.
The staff with their care and dedication gradually helped Mum become more at ease.
There were always activities taking place throughout the week that Mum could take part in if she chose to do so.
Obviously, the pandemic was a very difficult time for all of us, but we were kept updated and allowed to visit as soon as it was possible.
Mum sadly passed away in February 2022 and the care and compassion that they gave to Mum and her family made this very difficult time a little bit more bearable.

I would not hesitate in recommending Kestrel Grove to others.

Review from Gary D (Son of Resident) published on 21 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The care our mother received was exemplary. All the staff, without exception, are caring and compassionate. When we visited our mother the staff always made us feel extremely welcome and were very happy to answer any questions we had regarding Mum and her care. The nursing care Mum received from the home was also excellent. The staff were able to promote the healing of her infected leg ulcers which had been weeping badly for months due to her chronic heart disease. Subsequently, she was able to have all the bandages removed from her legs for the first time in over a year.

When she was able, Mum enjoyed being wheeled around a very large, well-kept garden, which for her was one of the main reasons for deciding to live there. In the period when her health sadly deteriorated and she passed, in June 2022, the staff were so compassionate towards her and thoughtful of the family. We can't thank the staff enough and would have no hesitation in recommending Kestrel Grove.

Review from Nigel R (Son of Resident) published on 27 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After being admitted to hospital the family were determined to get dad the care he deserved at 97 and being a POW at the hands of the Japanese for 3 years. After researching and talking to a few homes in the area, the manager visited dad in hospital and for the next 4 years, 4 months Kestrel was our second home. The care dad received at Kestrel was second to none, the owner and managers have great admiration from the family in their dedication and direction they give to the team to carry out their duties so well. The past 19 months have been incredibly difficult for us all and even more so for care homes, Kestrel did everything they could to keep dad safe from Covid, however, Dad not able to see his family for long periods eventually took its toll and from Christmas 2020 we could see a slow deterioration in him until he sadly passed in July 2021. We owe a great deal to you guys for your professionalism and care for dad.

Reply from Monika Gilice, Manager at Kestrel Grove Care Home

Thank you so much for the lovely comments. We loved him so much and miss him dearly. He was a true gentleman with a lovely smile on his face. We miss seeing you as a family too and wish you all well. Regards from all of us at Kestrel Grove.

Overall Experience

This care home is the absolute best and I cannot praise it enough. The staff are extremely attentive and caring - from the kitchen staff who prepared foods that my father requested, to the lovely cleaners and fabulous carers, attentive nursing staff and the owner. As my father's relative, I was similarly treated with courtesy and respect and the staff always offered us refreshments (free of charge) and had time to discuss my father's ailments and his condition, generally. We felt their love and support at all times. Nothing was too much bother and I would not hesitate to recommend this nursing and residential home. My father was here for 18 months and it became his home.

Review from Michelle M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot rate this home highly enough. The manager and his amazing staff genuinely 'cared' for my father in every aspect of his life - the love and respect his carers had for him was absolutely genuine. Indeed three of his carers came to my father's funeral in their own free time, which says it all. The support that I too received from the staff was second to none when my father sadly passed away. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and that encompasses not just my father, but his frequent rostrum of visitors as well. All of the staff, from the cleaners and kitchen staff to the nurses and senior managers, always had a lovely smile and were full of bounce and good cheer. In an era where there is so much publicity about the abuse of the elderly, I cannot find the words to recommend this home highly enough. Who knows - when the time comes for myself, I would not hesitate to book myself in.

Overall Experience
The care and loving attention that was given to my Mum was second to none. She was made to feel part of an amazing family that is Kestrel Grove Nursing Home. She was treated with dignity and love right to the end of the three and a half years of her residency.
The Home is run so wonderfully. It is spotlessly clean and the food is amazing.

My great grandmother resided there in the 1970s, my aunt in the 2000s and my Mum in the 2010's. The same family has been running the Nursing Home throughout and I cannot thank them enough. They do an amazing job.

Overall Experience

I cannot praise the staff and management of Kestrel Grove enough for all they did for my mother in the last few weeks of her life, having moved to the home from hospital suffering with terminal cancer.

Although my mother was there for only a short time, all the staff seemed to get to know her and check in on her constantly. As my mother's condition was terminal I was also given exceptional help and support in dealing with the finality of the situation.

All my family took great comfort in knowing we had managed to secure a place for my mother in a home that cared so much for all its residents.

Both my grandparents resided at Kestrel Grove for four years, they were looked after with the utmost care and love - the care team are amazing and became part of our family, sadly we lost my Grandpa in 2017 and later on in October 2018 my Grandma passes too, but both of them were cared for till the end. I highly recommend Kestrel Grove - The owner is one of the most compassionate people I’ve had the pleasure to meet.

Both my father and I were extremely happy with the care all the staff gave my mother. They not only cared for mummy but also gave the extended family extremely good care and respect.

Nothing was too much for them while my mother was there. The attention and support all the staff gave all of our family during mummy’s last few weeks was astounding. We can not thank them enough and would certainly recommend them.

I was recommended to this care home 3 years ago for my mother who is now 99 years old. I cannot praise the management and staff more highly as they have been a pleasure to deal with for the last 3 years and have provided exemplary service. The welcome given to her was brilliant. The food is good and they take her out often, which isn't easy as she is partially blind and deaf and has Oxygen. Having been to other homes, I consider ourselves lucky!

Jayson Peter Moldero
Jayson Peter MolderoJob Title Home ManagerJoined 2026

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.

Joanna Motyer
Joanna MotyerJob Title Home AdministratorJoined 2005

For over 20 years, I have worked as an administrator at our care home. I take pride in being a friendly and reliable point of contact for residents, their loved ones and our dedicated staff team. Supporting the smooth running of the home and helping to create a warm, welcoming environment is something I genuinely care about.

Vina Bharadia
Vina BharadiaJob Title Activity Co-ordinatorJoined 2025
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.
