The staff are very helpful and friendly, especially during these very trying circumstances for the last year. Can the lift be reviewed as it seems to be breaking down more frequently, resulting in cancelled visits for the residents on the upper floors.

Thank you for your comments. The lift is being fully replaced in March.
Very caring team to my relative. Good facilities and daily activities. Always something for the residents to do. A very clean environment and nicely decorated. Good security for residents and facilities for visitors. Lovely outside area for the summer.

Dad was sent here by the hospital after being very poorly. I didn't know anything about the place but the hospital obviously did and it has proved a very good choice. The staff are truly caring people, not only is Dad kept clean and well-fed he is also kept engaged with his mind. The Staff all do everything they can to keep him happy which in turn relieves me of a lot of worry, its such a great place I cannot recommend it enough.
Super, fabulous and very professional. My mum took a while to settle in, with the support and care of all the staff, from the cleaners to the senior staff she's a very happy and contented lady. Which makes me very happy to know she's in safe hands especially during this pandemic. 10/10 from me.

During the COVID crisis, Durban House were a step ahead of the game and communication with relatives has been excellent.

My sister has been very well cared for in difficult health circumstances being half paralysed due to a stroke. Her support has been first class by kind caring staff. Friendships over the years have been made. So grateful that she is safe and as comfortable as possible.

The home is well run and the garden especially pleasant for the residents to sit out and look at the flowers.

My Wife is now in Durban House, she has cancer and is now quite frail. Everybody at the home has been so welcoming to me and my Wife. My Wife knows all the staff already and says they are extremely caring. We are very happy that she is at Durban House. A great weight has been lifted off my mind.
