The house has been attractively decorated and boasts elegant interiors and beautiful, accessible gardens.

My mother has been a resident at Creedy House for nearly three years. She seems very happy there and enjoys the activities offered, particularly anything music related. The staff are very good with her, treating her with kindness, dignity and respect.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass on your comments to staff.
We are very pleased with the way everything is done here. We call and visit on the same day with no problem. My mother-in-law is comfortable and well looked after. The room and she smell nice and clean. The staff are friendly.
Very good.
Thank you for the feedback, it's very encouraging and great for staff to get positive comments.
I've found that since my wife has been in care at Creedy House she is so much calmer and settled than she has been for the past 15 months. She's only been here for a couple of months and I'm very happy with her care, well-being, and attention given by all the staff. Most excellent!
Thank you for the positive review. We try to create a home-from-home experience.
My husband's care at Creedy House has been exemplary. He has settled in well and the care staff are kind, caring, and friendly. The staff send photos and are always willing to share information and keep me up to date with my husband's care. My husband is happy and I am very pleased with the care he is getting.
Thank you for the positive review. It's lovely to hear when residents are settled.
The staff are very helpful always someone there when I leave to take care of my husband and settle him down as he gets very agitated when I'm about to leave. My husband enjoys the activities and when I'm there and it's music he loves to have a dance with me and a lot of the colouring he has done is put up on the walls. I cannot find fault in Creedy at all.
Thank you so much for your comments, we value positive feedback and that we are getting it right!
My father has now been at Creedy House for just over one year. He is happy and settled and I am very pleased with the care that he receives. Staff are always pleasant and courteous to both myself and my father and they have made what was a stressful situation so much easier to cope with.
Dad has been a resident at Creedy House for just over six months and has settled in well. The manager is approachable and has been supportive of us as a family. Dad's mobility issues have been addressed and although his physical and emotional needs are changing the staff have adapted with compassion and understanding. The home is welcoming, and clean and the staff are both professional and friendly.
Thank you for the positive feedback. Our aim is to ensure our residents feel like they are at home, comfortable and safe. As a manager, I am so lucky to have such a dedicated and empathetic team.
My mother went into Creedy House suffering from dementia, having done so for a number of years. She attacked my husband in 2022 claiming he was a burglar. The police and ambulance crews attended and it was decided for her own safety to take her to Creedy House. This was the best decision we have ever made for her. She was very happy going there and in her own way, still. The staff love her to pieces. She loves the garden and from her window watches out for burglars in the area. Creedy House is well kept, clean with good food. My mum is well cared for and loved like one of the family. Thank you Creedy House.
I enjoy visiting my brother at Creedy House, there is always a friendly welcome by staff. Top marks for cleanliness, the communal areas are always kept clean and tidy and very nicely decorated with well-chosen colours. My brother and I enjoy sitting in the well-kept gardens and look forward to the various garden parties throughout the year. My brother enjoys the activities throughout the week. My only concern is the quality and nutrition of the food served. Overall very happy with my brother's care.
Thank you for your response. We are always trying to meet the nutritional needs of the individuals and I am hoping since our face-to-face discussion with your brother, choices have improved. He now goes out with our activity coordinator weekly to do a 'shop' also which has been very successful and confidence-building for him.
My sister has been at Creedy House since January 2023. We have found the staff to be very sympathetic and caring. My sister has been welcomed and Creedy has been very good at monitoring her bipolar condition.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We aim to give our best.
Generally happy with the home, my wife appears content. Communication between the home and the family could be better and quicker. Plenty of activities are offered and the home is clean and safe. Staff are helpful to answer questions and booking visits is straightforward.
Your wife has been a resident with us for 7 years. Thank you for your comments. I relayed comments to all staff and we learnt to improve in the areas highlighted.
Mum has been extremely well looked after at Creedy House. She is stimulated with the music and other activities. Consequently, this has eased the extreme pressure on Dad when he was looking after Mum at home. Creedy staff always welcome the whole family.
At Creedy House the staff aim to provide a homely environment and this includes welcoming family and friends.
Nothing is too much trouble. The managers and staff are truly professional and kind. Well decorated and clean. A nice friendly environment for residents and visitors alike.
Thank you. We know how difficult it can be to make the decision with a loved one having 24hr care and my team always strive to make the whole family welcome.
Friendly, kind and welcoming staff. Any queries are addressed promptly. The home is brightly decorated with suitable background music always playing- to stimulate dementia residents. Mum's ground-floor sunny room overlooked the garden. Her family were able to visit regularly so we could continue to interact with her (play ball games etc). She loved going around the garden, it's there to be used! She also enjoyed the regular entertainment. Again it stimulated the residents...so important! The staff looked after us as a family too, as we all had long journeys to see our lovely Mum. Lots of tea etc. Kept us going! Mum is now in a home nearer to us, it's not up to Creedys standards, so another move soon.
Thank you for such positive words. It really lifts staff to know they are doing a good job! we feel privileged to work in a home with such amazing residents and families.
My dad went to Creedy House direct from a seven-week hospital admission. Initially, it was for a temporary stay or ongoing assessment of his dementia care. The staff at Creedy welcomed Dad and helped him and us, as his family, adjust to the changes in his needs and life. The home is well maintained, clean and comfortable with friendly, caring staff. Dad loves the food and the attention he gets from everyone involved in his care. We are very grateful to all the staff who have supported us through this very difficult time.
Kind regards.
The team of carers are led well and go above and beyond to maintain a high standard of care, ensuring Mum is happy and they always respect her dignity and privacy. We are well informed of any changes or any issues, activities and gatherings! Thank you team Creedy House Care Home.
Kind regards,
Nesta.
My mother-in-law has been a resident for the past several months, her care has been outstanding, all care staff are very friendly and take time to keep us up to date on any of her care or well-being. Could not recommend enough. They treat her with dignity and respect at all times. It is always clean and does not have that "care home" smell.
At Creedy, all staff aim to give their best and it is really lovely to get positive feedback. Thank you, Nesta and the team.
All staff are so helpful, caring and will do everything in their power to care for residents.
Thoroughly recommend Creedy House Care Home.
Nesta.
The staff at Creedy House are wonderful, looking after my mother with care, awareness of her needs and also some humour mixed with fun activities makes it a wonderful place to be. We have peace of mind that she is looked after 24 hours a day. We are in constant contact with Creedy staff and they always give us updates when we ask how Mum is. Overall it is a wonderful place for Mum. Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for your kind words. I will let the staff know regarding your response.

Welcome to Creedy House.
My name is Nesta and I have worked at Creedy House for over ten years. I have worked in the private, community, NHS and social settings for 37 years.
I don't see being at Creedy House as work... I feel fortunate to be part of a large family.
