I'm so glad my dad is being cared for at Creedy House. The staff are absolutely amazing and my dad seems happy and very laid back. His room is lovely and the property is very clean.
Its always rewarding to see residents happy and settled
The staff are genuinely wonderful. The home is always clean, bright and cheerful. I feel confident that my mum is being looked after, and show a lot of love. It is a truly wonderful home im the sense of the word. Bless them all.
Daphne has settled in very well and has very much enjoyed the group activities especially the arts & crafts. I think the staff do an excellent job in sometimes difficult circumstances and situations. Keep up the good work!
Staff very friendly and absolutely amazing care provided towards my father in law. Home very clean and tidy.
The first thing I noticed was how clean the home is. From the manager and all the staff how friendly. The standard of care which my friend is receiving is first class. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you so much! Glad he is settled and well. I will pass your kind words on to the staff.
In 2 weeks since admission I have found the staff to be very professional, treating the residents with respect. My friend is always clean and well dressed and time is taken to ensure she is able to eat her meals with help. The activities are varied and the environment is clean and well maintained.
I can't thank the management and staff at Creedy House enough for their love, care and support you've given my dad, my partner and myself and most importantly my mum since residing at the home since March 2025. Everyone goes above and beyond their duties. Creedy House is a family.
Thank you so much for your kind words, its rewarding to know what we do is positive.
When my partners mother entered Creedy House in March I was very sceptical RE care homes, but I find it a lovely experience visiting on a regular basis. Everybody from senior management down to carers, cooks, cleaners etc are so well trained, compassionate and look after their service users in an impeccable way. Also the input into activities for the clients is second to none. Well done to all at Creedy House.
My dad was in Creedy House for about 7 weeks before he passed. The manageress, Nesta, and all her staff supported dad with dignity, respect and empathy for the entire time he was there, the care was excellent. There was plenty of social stimulation for him in the lounge when he was able to be with others, and the music and singing were especially appreciated as dad loved music and dancing. The staff did their utmost to support dad with his eating and general care, and provided excellent empathic nursing care throughout. Nesta is lovely, and was a huge support for me while dad was at the Creedy, and along with all her staff made me, my mum and family feel supported and welcome whenever we visited dad. A lovely care home and highly recommended!
Thank you kindly for the review. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your father and support you and your mum at what I know was a very difficult time. I will pass your gratitude on to the staff.
My dad moved from another care home into Creedy House. I had been unhappy with the previous home from lack of care and stimulation and activities. Also lack of full knowledge of Type 1 diabetes and the provision needed to care for my dad with diabetes and other age related illnesses. On arriving at Creedy House my family and dad were made very welcome and reassured of care and understanding of his needs. I was finally content to elae my dad in a professional setting and care of others. My dad passed 3 weeks after arriving and was happy he had moved and given the respect and care at the end of his life.
Creedy House is a superb, well presented nursing/care home. The manager is so hands on and devoted to her residents and likewise her staff. My mother and my father were very comfortable here. I can rest assured that they are cared for with compassion and dignity. I would recommend Creedy House without hesitation.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I will pass your kind words on to all the staff, its good to know we are doing things right.
The food was usually very well presented, and staff were on hand to help if necessary.
His room was comfortable and airy. The garden was well maintained and nice to sit out in on good days.
Mum seems to be very happy & settled at Creedy House. The staff all seem really friendly and seem to care for the residents.
Thank you for your positive comments. Creedy is a large family.
I am a visitor to see my friend. He is well looked after.
Our family have been delighted with the care my mother in law has received. We have been so very impressed by the expertise of the staff. We can totally relax now, which we couldn't do previously. It is a great relief for me to see her stress level reduce and no longer looking traumatised and shell-shocked. At each visit, we see the same staff and they know my mother in law so well. Thank you all for caring for my mother in law so well.
Our staff pride themselves on getting to know the residents and families. Its great to know we are enhancing a residents life. Thank you.
My mum has been at Creedy Care Home now for 12 years and she has received the best care that anyone could ask for their loved ones my mum has been none verbal now for a few years but all the staff that care for her understand when she is not her normal self or when she has been ill and in some cases very poorly but because of the care she receives that is why she is still with us thankfully and all the staff are brilliant and friendly and easy to approach if I have any questions to ask and they always keep me informed of any changes to my mum which helps me understand her illness better i honestly believe the care that she receives is the reason she is still with us
Thank you so much for the review. We aim to support the whole family unit and its great to get such positive feedback.
Its also not a problem to just pop your head into the office for a quick catch regarding any ongoing situations that may have occurred and be listened to and appropriate action taken where necessary.
Thank you for the lovely comments, we try to create a family feel around the Home.
There are doing a great job and I am always made to feel welcome by everyone and feel I have a good relationship with the staff and they always keep me informed of events and any information I might need in regards to my dad. They send me photos of anything special he takes part in and I am very happy with the care he receives.
Thank you for these positive comments, I will relay to staff.
The staff at the nursing home are attentive to the residents needs at all times. The staff are kind, reassuring and extremely patient in their dealings with all residents. The staff are also very friendly to visitors; offering information or refreshment that is required. Creedy House is kept very clean and well maintained indoors. There are many items of interest on the walls intended to trigger happy memories for all. I am confident in leaving my loved one in their care.
Thank you for your comments, its very rewarding to staff to know that we are creating a comfortable homely environment for your family member.
The Manger and her team are amazing. The looked after my Father extremely well and attended to all his needs. They always had a chat with family when visiting and made us all feel relaxed and happy that my Father was being cared for in a caring way. The team talked to my Father as though he was a friend and it was lovely to see my Father smile at them when chatting. Creedy House is highly recommended.
