Whenever I visit, I have always found the staff
A family run business with caring staff that deserves high praise for running a care/nursing home with a homely atmosphere.
I would consider Kestrel Grove to be the benchmark for how nursing/care homes should be run.

I would say that the high standards in this home have consistently risen during the time I have been visiting it.

The high quality of the environment including the cleanliness of rooms, the beautiful grounds, the fresh linen and flowers in the dining room helps to create a sense of pride in both the staff and the residents for whom they care. Activities are varied and regular, my dad especially enjoys the chair exercises, bingo and visiting singers; and more recently a great BBQ to which he invited me as his guest!
Kestrel Grove is a family run business and many of the staff have worked here for over 5 years which I believe contributes to the consistency of care, as does the 'in-house' training (no agency staff are used). The owner, of whom the staff speak very highly, is on site during the week and is very involved with the day to day issues. Nothing is too much trouble here and every request is met with a smile - I would highly recommend this nursing home without reservation.

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.
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.
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.
