Abberton Manor Nursing Home

Mum has been with Abberton for a very short time but in that short time, the care and kindness shown has been second to none. Staff are always around to help or offer assistance in any way. I was so anxious about mum being in any nursing home but Abberton has alleviated my fear and made me feel ok about her being there. Christmas day was held at Abberton in a private room (there was 10 of us) and it was absolutely excellent. The food was wonderful and every effort was made to make sure we had a great time (and we did).

The resident to whom I am referring I have known since 1968. He is the godfather of our eldest child. To my dismay he showed signs of the onset of dementia some 10 years ago. His wife of almost 50 years cared for him until it was not possible to continue. He is now in the tender and sensitive care of the staff at Abberton Manor. I go and see him about every two weeks. On every occasion I find the staff bright, positive and professional dealing with my long time friend.

Both my mother and father have spent time at Abberton Manor and I have always found the staff very caring and professional. Everything is done to ensure the residents comfort and safety. The house is like a home.

Pleased with standards of care from day 1. Mum has been resident for 2 years and each problem has been dealt with as it comes from my mother. Staff friendly and approachable not defencing when confronted with difficult issues. Home very well maintained. Menu's are varied, healthy with fresh veg and fruit. Good social activities to stimulate the residents. Have outside entertainment in and residents who can and wish to are taken out in the homes minibus. Very happy to include residents family in care, given particularly in socialising and outings. Remain involved in care planning, as are the residents when able.
