After our elderly mum had a hospital stay, nursing care was needed for several weeks before she was able to get back home.

I have been here for 2 1/2 years and in that time this has been my home. I am contented and have become used to the routine and the staff who are helpful, cheerful and discreet. Visitors are always made welcome and my daughter is pleased I am in a safe place. The team in charge of entertainment work hard to find ways to keep residents happy. My pre-lunch sherry is something I enjoy with the opportunity to meet other residents, mid-morning and afternoons, tea and coffee are provided. I consider myself lucky to be here in my old age.

My mother arrived at Abbotts Barton lonely, exhausted and stressed and after just a few weeks, she's back to her old self. She's eating better, enjoying the company and keen to join in with the activities and repeatedly stresses how kind all the staff are. Thank you.

Very impressed with every aspect from first impression to accommodation and lovely gardens. All staff and management friendly and caring. Lovely that residents can invite visitors for meals and coffee/tea. The newspaper service is a good idea. The welcome flowers followed by the "thank you for staying" flowers are a joy. The activities are very good and mum particularly enjoyed the outings with picnic provided. Hair salon is also excellent. Do good to have lovely baths. Wonderful.
The garden is so enjoyable and you care for the local bird population (see blue tit babies!).
