Flowerdown provided two weeks respite care for my mother. The staff were excellent. The buildings are looking tired but the rooms were a good size and reasonably equipped. My Mum was very happy there.

I cannot begin to describe the care and support Flowerdown gave to my family while caring for my Grandfather. In his last few days, my mother and sister were able to stay 24hours a day with him and I was able to join them on his last day where the staff continued to provide food, drink and comforting support. Especially one senior care assistant in particular. Her support and care was above and beyond what I could have asked for. She is a beautiful human being, nothing was a problem for her and I am very grateful for everything she and the home did for us as a family.
I cannot begin to explain how lovely, kind, helpful, caring etc this care home have been with my terminally ill father.

My wife has been diagnosed as having Alzheimer's for the past 7 years, although I think there were signs of her having this awful illness before then, which was laughed at and considered to be a senior moment. She was with me at home before being diagnosed and I looked after her with help from professional carers for nearly 3 years. It finally became very difficult and our children (they were all of voting age) convinced me she should be in a care home which was arranged. This is now the second care home she has been in and I am very satisfied that it is the best thing for her.
My father has been a resident for about a year and in that time the care he has received has been good. The staff all seem very kind and approachable. Activities are difficult as my father is very deaf and so he doesn't want to join in with other people as he can't hear them.

My mother of 96 years of age spent 6 months in care. She was well looked after but I wanted desperately to spend her final time in a nursing home where she would receive 24/7 care. I cannot fault the staffs care and love given to mum and to ourselves.

We never worried about leaving her and were always made so welcome on our very frequent visits. It was a final year to treasure and is looked back on with gratefulness and love. Her "special" carer formed a wonderful bond with her anticipating her changes and requirements. The Flowerdown is a very special home.

My passion for gardening has been with me for many years, starting with growing vegetables and house plants when I bought my first house, followed by creating a family-friendly garden for my children.Now that the children are grown up, I'm enjoying designing a new style of garden for me and my wife, including building a summer house.

I have weekly chats with the residents to discuss the current plans, my ideas and their wishes.
I have made a lot of new boarders at the front of the home and redesigned the raised beds in the back garden to include a climbing frame for new planting, which includes an area for the squirrels to feed, something that the residents enjoy.
