I can't praise Montrose highly enough. Caring staff, comfortable rooms, good food, lovely garden area to sit in and very clean and well maintained rooms to socialise in.

My experience has been nothing but faultless concerning the care of my father. From the facilities to the care givers, to the activities programme provided. Excellence is a word given to often when unwarranted but in the case of this care home is totally justified.

My Mum moved into Montrose care home in Watford over two years ago, at first she struggled making the move from her own home. She had always said she would never go into a care home. The kind and supportive care team have gone above and beyond to help her settle in. Fantastic care is always given, although my mum is now bed-bound, she is always wonderfully presented when family visit.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely review. We are delighted that we meet you and your families expectations and you feel mum is well cared for by the team.

My mother settled into Montrose very quickly. She had previously been unhappy and anxious but since moving into Montrose she is happy and much more contended. She is eating better than she has for ages she really enjoys the food. He room is lovely and comfortable. She can have privacy or go to the lounge to mix with other residents. The staff are friendly and caring. My mother initially moved in for respite care but she is so happy at Montrose she is now staying permanently.

My mother has been in Montrose care home for about 2 11 years now. I feel she has been well cared for with kindness shown by all staff. Luckily as a family, we are able to visit regularly and any problem is addressed and resolved quickly and efficiently. The home is always clean and warm, which is reassuring. My mum feels safe in the common areas, as apposed to her room and sometimes feels the carers are hard to reach when near.
Many thanks for your review, and we are pleased to hear that mum feels safe and well cared for here at Montrose. If there is anything we can do to support your mothers holistic wellbeing, then please do not hesitate to speak to one of the team.

My mother has been a resident for almost six years. During that time she has been looked after by many different carers, all of whom have treated her with courtesy and respect. Her health has deteriorated and she is no longer mobile, but every effort is made by the staff to cater to her needs. She has never wanted to join in the many excellent activities other than the cinema, which she enjoys and looks forward to. I have always been impressed by the standard of care at Montrose and the friendliness of the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. If there is anything you feel we can help with in engaging your mother, or something particular she would like to see then please let us or the engagement lead know.
Staff were very helpful, friednly, caring and efficient. Excellent all around, there is nothing more to say.

Our aunt moved into Montrose Care Home in November 2023. She wasn't too keen on the idea of moving into a home permanently but she had broken both her hips and was 94! She is now so happy that she moved in and is looking healthier. We have found all the staff to be friendly and caring. She loves that there are activities she could join in with but doesn't feel pressured to. We would definitely recommend the home to anyone looking.
Many thanks for your kind review. The team are pleased to hear that both you and your aunt are happy with the care and support we offer. If there are any activities your aunt may be interested in, then our engagement lead will be happy to discuss this with you.

My mum has been at Montrose Care Home for over a year now. I am a big fan of Montrose. My mum was no longer safe to live at home. We had tried having carers come in to her home and it just wasn't working. I was so lucky that I found Montrose. They really pulled out all the stops to help get my mum in for respite care to begin with. What a difference from the first day. They put my mind at rest and were able to deal with my mum in the most professional way. I know it can be really challenging at times but they are so experienced, professional and nothing will phase them. There is a really homely feel to Montrose. Staff and residents are relaxed and friendly. I feel blessed that I know when my mum is being cared for at Montrose. There's always a cheery face bringing her a cup of tea, remembering her medications, bringing her meals and snacks and so much more. There are special days too like the beautiful care they took to mark my mum's birthday. She really felt special.
We are very pleased that you feel Mum is cared for and safe while living here at Montrose Care Home, and that her individualised needs are met. The team strive towards making a 'home from home' feel for all our residents and that family and friends feel supported with the transition of a loved one moving into a care home. Thank you so much for your review.
