Mum moved to Steep Hose when her dementia made it impossible for me to care for her at home. She was very happy there, was well looked after. She was always clean and looked well cared for. Mum could be very difficult but they were very patient and kind. She developed a bad skin infection - the nursing staff managed this extremely well. I am very happy with the way she was looked after. I cannot fault the way she was cared for in any way.

As I was recovering from a hip replacement, I needed a fully accessible toilet with bards to lean on. I couldn't find one on the ground floor. As my room (chair much too low) was on the first floor I had to continually go upstairs to my toilet, which was ideal, if only there were others like it.
The thoughtfulness and care of all the staff was amazing. They were always so willing and cheerful.
We found all the staff so helpful and friendly. Perfect.

Originally when I came to Steep House it was only for a short stay but my partner who had a chest problem could not be taken care of at home so I decided to stay. I do not rue that decision. My partner passed away over 3 years ago, Lord rest her soul. I have made lots of friends in the staff and residents so I'm, a very happy guy. As far as I am concerned I am a very well contented man.
I've always felt as soon as you make contact with any of the staff how friendly and helpful they are, especially the manageress who seems to go that extra mile, and I am satisfied with her care, she has been a difficult person but they handle her very well.

I am extremely happy for my wife to come to Steep House as the home atmosphere is very calm and the staff are very caring and very friendly towards my wife.
I can score 100% for the manager and she is leading her team very well. Very well led home by the captain of the ship.

I have only enormous thanks and praise for the excellent care and attention given to both my mum and dad (parent-in-law). Also for the time given to myself when help was needed. Nothing was too much trouble.

I felt very pleased with the care my Mother received, from the activities to the nursing and support team, they knew Mother's needs and worked hard to meet them.

I moved my mother to Steep House about 12 months ago. I felt at the time that I was very lucky to have found this place and I have never regretted my decision. My mother is extremely well cared for. They take the time to know each person individually and she is always treated with dignity and “as herself”. The range of activities is enormous and Mum takes part as well as she can, and seems to enjoy herself thoroughly. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who are always friendly and approachable.The food is good too!

Over the four months, she has been at Steep House, there has bee a noticeable improvement in her mobility caused, I believe, by her being encouraged to move around more - 'use it or lose it'. There is also a discernable improvement in her mental ability.
Visitors are welcomed with a greeting and smile. Any concerns I have about my mother are answered effectively by any member of staff.

I began my career as a nurse before moving into management, combining practical experience in health and social care with a strategic approach to leadership.
At Steep House, my focus is on delivering high-quality, personalised care, working closely with residents, their families, and friends to build a supportive community. The dedication and compassion of our team make me incredibly proud to be the Manager here.
I would describe myself as honest, cheerful, and genuinely caring. My goal is to ensure residents feel valued, happy, and fulfilled in their daily lives. Taking time to listen to their needs and making them smile is, to me, the most rewarding part of this role. I firmly believe every resident should have the chance to live their life according to their own wishes, and I am committed to supporting them in this journey.
Leading our team is a privilege and a responsibility I take to heart. Together, we create a warm, welcoming environment that feels like home, where every resident receives the respect, attention, and individualised care they truly deserve.
