I visited an old gentleman in room 17 and brought his son. The staff from reception and in all aspects were very professional and welcoming. I could not comment on management and value for money as I did not meet any plus not involved with fees.

It was so very wonderful to come here today - to see John. I was treated so well by all the lovely staff, who are so kind and caring. A special mention of dearest Nadia at front of building, such a helpful and nice person. Thank you everyone.

From the moment we walked into reception and were given directions to find my sister (room 20). We were greeted by smiling and happy staff. My sister's room was spacious and with many personal items. Lots of family photographs. Every area was spotlessly clean. My sister seems happy and contented, she's 93 and recently became a resident.

It's particularly lovely to hear about how happy and friendly you find the staff, and how you find the home to be spotlessly clean. It's a pleasure to have your sister with us.
The care and attention given to my husband is excellent. He is treated with dignity and compassion. I have nothing but praise for all the staff. They have become a part of my extended family and treat me with the same respect. I am pleased I did my research to find such a caring environment.

My dad was discharged to Kippingtons from hospital with dementia, Parkinson's, cancer among other things. At every stage, the staff in the home were very kind, warm, welcoming and friendly, very caring, responsive and hard-working. Every time we visited, we felt very welcome and could see that it was a happy place to live and work. Many of the staff have worked there for years. It has a lovely atmosphere, very welcoming, flexible and putting the needs of the residents first. They are very capable to care for the needs of a wide range of people from light needs to very heavy duty needs. The home is very well managed and well lead. The food is excellent. My dad ate much better there than he had for years at home. They do their best to keep the residents stimulated with activities. It's a lovely physical environment, very homely and has a beautiful garden. They were very responsive to the needs of my dad as they arose. I thoroughly recommend the home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, N! We're happy to hear that your dad received such great care and felt comfortable at Kippingtons.

When first walking into the reception at Kippingtons, my children and I had a really good feeling about it. The reception staff are warm and welcoming, offering us refreshments. We walked into the lounge where some residents were playing a game. They seemed relaxed and happy. The care staff and nurses are so lovely and seem to have lots of patience and understanding. The rooms are lovely. The dining room is bright and relaxed and the food is great. The grounds/garden is pretty. We wanted my husband to be looked after by this kind and caring home.

I have always had a passion for health and social care since I cared for my own Grandfather from a young age. I started my career as a healthcare assistant in a nursing home, proceeded to a senior clinical support worker for the NHS on an elderly care ward which led me to completing my nursing degree.
During my nursing career I have experienced working on a frailty ward for the NHS, as a Clinical case manager within the community nursing for those in their own homes and within management in nursing homes that has involved me working on the floor as a registered nurse at times.
I have personal experience of having parents with dementia and making the decision of placing them in care which I feel gives me increased compassion and empathy to those tackling this decision themselves.
I feel I am committed to ensuring that our residents receive the best quality care with compassion and respect they deserve. I work closely with the residents, relatives and colleagues to ensure Kippingtons is a warm and friendly atmosphere to live and work in.
My ethos is that I would not ask someone to do something that I have not or would not be prepared to do myself. Teamwork and good communication is key.
