My mum was a resident at Garth House for only a short time after being diagnosed with lung cancer and needing end of life care. Garth House had been recommended and we were lucky that they had a room free for her. In the first few days, the management team dealt with any concerns and worries without delay and as the weeks went by, we, as a family, and mum herself grew very fond of all the staff. We have such gratitude and respect for them all. Garth House made a difficult time just a little bit more bearable. Thank you.

We had already heard very good things about The Garth. So when the continuous health care sent us a list of nursing homes and The Garth was one of those we were very pleased.We viewed the room, we knew straight away this was the place for our dear Mum and she was moved in almost straight away. My Mum loved her room and all the staff that looked after her and she was very happy. We were made welcome too whatever time we arrived. We will always be eternally grateful to The Garth and all the staff for what they did for our Mum.
Everything is very professional, the rooms are always bright and spotlessly clean and there is overall a very welcoming atmosphere.

Mother has been very happy since she has been at Garth House. I have no worries as I know she is safe and well cared for. I get calls when mother is sick.

Improvements have been made during the last year to the nursing home and are continuing. The home has a pleasant atmosphere and visitors are welcomed and staff always go the “extra mile” to assist. The Home Manager is very sincere, easy to talk to and committed to her task of ensuring excellent care is provided. The new Head Carer is also devoted to her task and was extremely helpful. My sister is happy at Garth House, I live in Canada and visit her every few months. I returned home feeling confident that she is receiving excellent care.
The care my mum had was thoughtful and respectful and gentle, as Mum had a few pain...
She was always in a content, peaceful state. I cannot thank the staff enough.
Improvements have been made to this nursing home over the last six months and are continuing. The new manager is very pro-active in ensuring the residents and their relatives are kept informed and are listened to.

Mother is doing well at Garth House. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The food is good, mother seems better.
Activities could be better and a few more outings might help

The standards at this home have improved enormously in recent months, which seems to be because of an influx of better quality staff. My brother and I are very satisfied with our mother's care and so is she, so thank you very much!

I have been coming to this home for over five years as my mother was here before she died and got to know residents and staff. Everybody is very nice and I enjoy my visits regularly.
