I have been at this care home for two weeks today. I have found it a first class home, where every one is friendly and very helpful. The accommodation is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent wtih plenty of variety. The whole unit is very clean and safe for us old people. The rooms are very roomy with all facilities are available. Entertainment is plentiful and includes outings etc. The building is excellent and roomy. The weather is to cold at the minute, but too cold to go out. The grounds are superb, and I am looking forward to going outside. I cannot praise it anymore.
My husband has been in Colbury House Nursing Home for many years, since it was taken over from the previous owners. It has become a very good nursing home. I would not want him to be anywhere else.

In the present economic circumstances where some people are choosing between heating or eating plus the chaos of Storm Chandra, Colbury House is a haven. The building is heated 24 hrs a day. Hot meals, prepared by a cook and delivered by experienced carers 3 times a day. A laundry provides a very efficient service. Medical assistance is always available at the touch of a button, plus hot beverages are delivered throughout the day. All in all I think that I and all the other residents are in an enviable position. Thank you very much.

I can not recommend Colbury enough. The staff are so lovely and go out of their way to help and make my grandparents stay as comfortable as possible. The food is brilliant. It is always clean. There is always something going on. They make sure their patients are still treated like humans not just ill people. The residence are always happy when you go in. Glowing reviews all round!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words, the team will be very proud to read the positive comments. Our dedicated staff takes great pride in providing compassionate care with dignity. We are all touched by the sentiments expressed and this is exactly the kind of care that we all strive for.
Excellent care for my mother, carers have got to know her and she loves talking to them. Suggestions for activities would be more craft things for Mum as she loves doing craft and painting, decorating biscuits or small cakes. Mum used to love baking.

Thank you for your lovely review. I will take back your suggestion to the activities team and incorporate more crafts into the activity plan.

The Staff at Colbury House have been supportive during a difficult time moving my Grandmother into Colbury House. The home is clean and they are very organised with medicine rounds and other routines. My grandmother likes the food and this has been a good aspect. The staff are also very accommodating and have taken her to medical appointments to help us. They also have a great entertainment schedule for the residents. I would recommend Colbury House.
Thank you for your great review, we are pleased to hear that you are happy with the care provided.

We are kept informed if there are any issues, such as mum being ill and we feel happy that mum is safe and being well looked after.
Thank you for your lovely review, we pride ourselves on our great activities team and the staff will appreciate the feedback.
My Mother has been a resident at Colbury House since December. She has settled well and I have peace of mind that she's safe and well looked after. My Mother loves all the staff and enjoys all the activities.

Thank you so much for the review, staff will most certainly appreciate your very kind feedback.
The family has been very happy with the care our relative has received. He settled in well and the staff was very attentive. He seems to enjoy the food and there's always plenty of it. His room is fairly basic but most of his time is spent in the day room which is bright and cheerful.

From the moment my husband entered Colbury House in December 2023, I felt he was loved and cared for. Such a warm homely feeling. I was very anxious and apprehensive when I realised I could no longer give him the care he needed. I’ll never forget a member of staff saying to me “We are all one big family here”, so true. Everyone there works 100% to make life the best it can be for residents, both inside and out, the grounds are beautiful and give residents plenty of outside space to enjoy. Although it was hard to be parted after a lifetime together I felt as though ‘we’ were among friends. The staff and indeed the owner have my eternal thanks.
Thank you for your lovely review, it has been a pleasure getting to know you and your family. Caring for your husband was an absolute pleasure, we will miss you all dearly. I'd also like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you for the lovely flowers and card you sent.

My father has Alzheimer’s and after many months of trying to look after him myself, I realised that I was kidding myself so Colbury House was my choice of care home. The professionalism they showed right from the beginning was unsurpassed, the wonderful carers that have transformed my father and put a smile back on his face. The whole experience was flawless and very professional, the home is spotless, the staff are wonderful and the communication was exemplary. My father is safe, warm, well fed and happy and so is my family. Thanks to everyone at Colbury House for the wonderful way you go about your jobs, our family owes you all a huge thank you for all you do.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are pleased to hear that you and your family are happy with the care provided. It's been great getting to know you and your father. Your feedback holds great significance for us. We are committed to maintaining the high standards you have noted and we will strive to consistently improve, we will aim for nothing short of excellence.
All staff very helpful, though older ones most sympathetic, would not have him back after he fell and went to hospital. Business manager and several older mature staff very helpful. Very sorry relationship had to end.

Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review, we are sad that the relationship had to end. Whilst we do everything in our power to ensure that residents needs and safety are being met, we also have to ensure that our staff are safe. Sometimes despite our best efforts, we have to recognise that there will be occasions where we have to acknowledge when a person’s needs change and they can no longer be safely cared for in a particular setting, despite all of our efforts and interventions. We strive to provide an outstanding quality of care and improve our resident's experience wherever possible. We wish you both all the best in the future.
The staff were never less than caring, compassionate and good humoured. Special mention to the fantastic Business Manager whose warmth, openness and warmth to both Mum and us...
I’ve come to understand a home can’t prevent issues happening, but that the residents and their families are paying to have the peace of mind that when things happen help, care and support is available immediately. I couldn’t have wished for Mum to be better looked after during her last few difficult months. Thank you.
Warm, friendly helpful staff. They ensure Mum has an interactive and inclusive lifestyle. They tend to her individual needs and keep me informed of activities e.g., bonfire night, family meetings and general social events. They let me know of Mum's needs and consult and update me on her care plan.

After 6 years in the social care sector, I started my career as a registered nurse, graduating from Southampton University in 2012. As a nurse, I then became active within the local community before moving into leadership and management.
My approach thrives on empowering my team and creating a collaborative and supportive work environment, all the while being dedicated to the residents under my care ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality care.
I’m passionate about creating a strong team culture, supporting staff to work to the level of their expertise and training and adapting to changing models of care. Making sure each nurse under my care is equipped to deliver a high level of service at all times.
I’m very family-orientated and enjoy spending time with the family, managing the children's hectic lives and enjoying days out. I’ve a particular interest in Theatre and gardening.

I started my career as a registered nurse in 1999 at Wanless hospital in a small city in India. I came to the UK in May 2003 and started to work within a care home organisation in Hertfordshire, I then moved to Southampton in 2010 with my wife and 2 children.
I have worked in different roles as a nurse (senior nurse, acting deputy, deputy manager, acting manager).
As a nurse, I have been passionate about caring for residents. I like to work with my team to promote and empower them. Nursing is my primary job role, but I also worked in other departments as needed to ensure the residents’ care is not affected.
I enjoy watching movies [comedy], and listening to Christian songs. I have a great sense of humour.
