Mum lived at Devonshire House & Lodge from November 2023 until her death in August 2026. Even as her health declined, well into her 90s, I saw that she was still a much valued member of the community. When she could no longer join in with events and was in end of life care and I was sitting with her, I noted how often her carers came to her room to hold her hand, stroke her head, offer me coffee and support, and just let us know they were there. Even when I couldn't be with her, I never felt she was alone. Between her carers and the nursing staff, my mum had the best. As a family, we couldn't have chosen a better home for her, and we are all supremely grateful to everybody who looked after her with such compassion. Thank you all.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are grateful for your kind words and are dedicated to providing high-quality care that prioritises the wellbeing and dignity of our residents. Your feedback serves as encouragement for our staff, who strive to offer compassionate support to both residents and their families. We appreciate your trust in us during such a difficult time.
Clients left in rooms, food is disgusting. tables are not set, no placemats, serviettes or condiments. No choice of meals. Not enough staff. People wait ages for someone to arrive after call bell is ringing

Dad has been a resident at the Devonshire care home for around a year now. The care and support given to him is first class. Dads room is always well maintained and tidy and dad is always clean and well looked after.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff to ensure that he is safe and happy. He particularly enjoys the meals there and always says how tasty they are.
There are lots of activities for the residents and they are all encouraged to take part but not forced.
Whilst all the staff are lovely, from the maintenance guys who painted his room and put his TV up on the wall to all the carers, special mention must go to both Clare and Ash who go above and beyond to ensure dad's is happy and well looked after. They are a credit to the Devonshire.
Thank you so much for your very kind words. We are all so pleased that dad is settled in his home. Feeling safe and happy is really important and is the ethos here at Devonshire House.

It is always a lovely visit now as mum is back to her witty fun and cheeky person that she was before this terrible dementia took its hold of her .

Even though they are all so busy all of the time .

Dad has been in the home for just over a year now. The staff have treated both him and me with the upmost care and respect; helping with sensitive matters and reassuring me when I've been upset. This home is ideal for anyone suffering with Alzheimer's or Dementia. The general layout, wide hallways...
I've put 'don't know' on the value for money question as I don't know how it compares. To me , you can't put a price on this kind of care.
Thank you for this lovely review, it is so nice to hear that you and your dad are so happy with the care.

My mother had a stroke 7 months ago. She has had care needs but has consistently said she wants to go home. I have written and video evidence of this. The care home have worked together with the state to ensure that not only is the bond with my mother severed, but that my mother will be illegally kept within the confines of the care home for the rest of her life despite her desperately wanting to go home.
They claimed I was stealing the food, they insinuated all kinds of terrible things about me. They would make me wait hours just to see her. They never contacted me when I should be the main point of contact/next of kin, they would contact my sister instead who doesn't even understand my mother. They have worked with the state to ensure that my mother never leaves that building despite her saying she wants to go home every time I see her. It's kidnap - no other word for it. I will now have to repeatedly take actions and raise awareness in order to ever see my mother again/get her home
I would first like to acknowledge the feeling expressed in your message. We understand that decisions surrounding a loved one's care, particularly following a stroke or other significant...

is treated with dignity, kindness,respect, her needs are met safely in a person centred and timely manner.On her birthday, carers entered singing "Happy Birthday," and every staff member wished her well. Residents joined in too one brought a card,another recited a verse. It was good to see Mum happy and settled after such a traumatic year. The home has a real sense of community among staff, residents and families. They decorated a private room with balloons and banners, and the chef made an IDDSI level-5 cake so she could safely enjoy it.Tea and cake for her guests, such thoughtful touches. Mum beamed all day. We are deeply grateful for the compassion, dignity and warmth shown daily by ALL staff in ALL areas. The Devonshire has turned a difficult time into comfort and belonging. Thank you all.
