My dad was only at Diamond House for 1 week, he was thoroughly looked after in that time, the staff were faultless in there care for him. At the end the end of life care was brilliant, the staff also took time out to make sure us as the family were ok, bringing us lots of cups of tea. If you need to go into a home choose Diamond House you won't regret it.
Thank you for your kind review. We got to know your dad well in such a short space of time. He will be missed.
My father lived at Diamond House for the last 2 years of his life, unfortunately, he died peacefully on 4th Sept 2017. The manager and her team could not have done more to help myself and my family through what is a difficult time. The care compassion and love all the staff gave was amazing. Dads comfort and dignity were their highest priority and nothing was too much I cannot fault the care given.
I highly recommend this home, yes it needs some new chairs and the team are working on that but the most important factor is the staff and they are the best. Thank you to the manager and the team and keep up the amazing work you are doing.
Thank you so much Deb. You all meant so much to us and will be greatly missed.
My relative is clean and well cared for. Privacy is respected.
Staff appear to have a genuine regard for my relative.
Thank you for your kind review. We all have a genuine regard for all our residents and we hope you and your relative continue to be happy with the service we provide.
The most important asset a care home can have, in my opinion, is good staff.
Diamond don't have good staff, they have excellent staff!
Caring, compassionate, efficient and jolly.
I visit every day and see regular entertainment, lovely food and happy residents.
Indeed, my mum seems ten years younger in only a short period of living there and has begun to laugh again. Wonderful!
Thank you so much Christine for the wonderful review. We are equally as happy to have your mum join us. She is a ray of sunshine for our home and we love having you all with us!
Over the three years my mother has been resident, I have no complaints about her care or treatment. I have been really lucky to find such a good care home.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are a proud care home with wonderful residents and staff. As always, if there is anything, our door is always open.
Happy with the care for my dad. I know it's been a struggle for all. Staff have been very good with him. I think it would be great if more activities could be done for him. This would make him more at home. Things can only get better with time and medication.
Thank you Jane, for your kind review. We feel lucky to have been chosen to support your dad and it takes time to settle into a new home for some. We are happy to offer more activities. Our sit down together has highlighted the need for one to one activities, which we can gladly offer and have...
