My husband has been cared for at Waltham House since December 2025. The experience has been nothing but kind, caring, professional and a huge relief to me. He is in the later stages of dementia and is now very poorly but all the staff are very caring and professional while being in good spirits all the time which can't be easy. I would recommend Waltham House to anyone who wants their loved ones well cared for.

I noticed my mum wasn't eating her food I asked her the reason why, and mum said it was the spice and herbs that were cooked with the food that upsets her stomach. I have spoken to the staff they do their very best and offer her other options of meals which I was very pleased to know and stopped me worrying about her.
