Kestrel Grove Care Home

Comprehensive entertainments/activities programme.

This is a second member of the family to have lived here. Many care homes do not possess a family atmosphere and have a clinical unpleasant smell. Kestrel Grove has a warm, caring feeling. We have got to know management and long-term staff well over years. They try to occupy residents as much as possible. If they decide to take part and there are also occasional outings for those who are able to participate. The home is well run and has been run by the same family for many years. It has a calm atmosphere.

My mother has been in the home for over 2 years and is well looked after. We are very happy with the quality of care provided.

My husband has only been at Kestrel Grove for a short time but I have nothing but praise for the care he is getting there. All the carers/nurses are kind and cheerful and the home itself makes sure that all residents are kept happy and entertained. Beautiful surroundings also.

My father has been a resident of Kestrel for 15 months. We are very happy with the care he receives. Any observations we may make are addressed immediately. The staff and management really care about the residents and their families and make it a happy place to live.

In the year that our daughter has been resident, we can attest to the extremely high quality of care and attention that she has received. She has been treated with dignity and humour by the staff and has developed a rapport with them all. Hospital attendances have been organised with the minimum of fuss and her special dietary requirements have been supervised with care. Her medical needs are dealt with carefully and professionally.

I am very happy in this care home and all the staff are kind, good and lovely. I came for respite care but could happily stay here forever. I can't find fault with anything, the good is good, there is lots of entertainment and it is very well run.

The best care home in the area.

Kestrel Grove is, without doubt, one of the best nursing homes in the area. My grandmother and my father were both residents and my husband has been there (with dementia) for three and a half years. It gives me great peace of mind to know that ALL the staff are so kind and caring - it is quite excellent.

The staff are caring, friendly and supportive. My husband is well looked after.

My sister has been a resident of Kestrel Grove for a year now and from day one she has been cared for extremely well. Even when asked if she is still happy there will respond by saying she is " happy and contented" and considers it to be her home now.

and from time to time outside excursions to different venues (Sunday lunches and canal boat trips etc) paid for by the home.

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.

A very friendly, homely atmosphere with exceptional care. All the staff are very attentive to my Fathers needs at all times. There are lots of activities and outings arranged for the resident and their families. The nursing care is excellent, with a very good team working round the clock. I would highly recommend Kestrel Grove.

I can see that my mothers daily care needs are met.

Both my parents are residents at Kestrel Grove, since they have been there my worries regarding their health and well-being have vanished. The friendly attentive staff ensure their different needs are catered for. Both my parents seem happy and well looked after. Regular entertainment and activity keeps them occupied and this place differs from so many other care homes I had visited, in that it is not a smelly God’s waiting room, but a fresh and vibrant environment to stimulate the residents as their need require. I can only sing the praises of this place and compliment the team, and hope my children find a place of similar quality when my time comes.

My father was very well looked after for the seven years he was at Kestrel Grove. I remember he used to tell me he was very happy there. He passed away at the home on 25th January 2018.

Kestrel Grove's expertise in palliative care was highly valued. The kindness and compassion shown by all staff to our mother and ourselves was really appreciated.

My husband has been a resident at Kestrel Grove for almost six years and I cannot praise the home highly enough. The staff are kind and friendly and it feels like being with a family. The food is excellent, there are varied activities for the residents and the staff are always open to new suggestions for suitable entertainment. The home is family run and has always shown respect and interest in everyone.

In the relatively short time, my father was at Kestrel Grove Nursing Home, he was treated with care and dignity at all times. All the staff were very attentive and could not do enough for him. My husband and I were also kept up to date with his care and we were also dealt with compassionately which certainly helped at such a difficult time. We would not hesitate to recommend Kestrel Grove to friends and family.

It is a very good care home. There are nurses and carers to look after the residents and entertainment in the afternoons (often live music on a Wednesday). they celebrate to suit the religions of different residents e.g. Hanukkah and Christmas. The home is set in beautiful grounds with neatly tended lawns. The residents are treated with respect. My mother speaks Hungarian and Romanian and many of the carers can speak in these languages to her. They can have meals served when they choose to have them and they can choose what to eat.

(four of them have looked after my mum over ten years) and the atmosphere is warm, pleasant and relaxed. The home is very clean and, of course, very beautiful as it is in a well preserved period building with spacious and well planted grounds. The food is jolly good and the care staff are very kind and thoughtful, especially about small details like clothes and make up. There is always something going on in the way of activities.

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