The staff are amazing and really care passionately for their residents. Nothing is too much trouble. The manager and admin staff are equally as important and answer queries very quickly as well as very supportive to residents and loved ones. I feel safe knowing Dad is with you. Thank you.

The staff are extremely friendly but also have the highest standard of care and professionalism to both the residents and visitors. The home itself is welcoming, cheerful and pleasant to spend time in, it has great facilities and the rooms and communal areas are all very nice.

All staff are kind and caring - most important! Bedroom quite small but has a beautiful view of garden and up to the moor. Room has a wash basin but an ensuite lavatory and shower would be ideal. Outside areas are secure and pleasant. My husband enjoys the food.

My mother loves the home and the staff. She has never had bad thing to say about the care given, which is very reassuring to us as most of us are too far to visit regularly.

Many thanks to everyone
Everyone would like to love and respect their elders but when they see them lose their memory and intelligence, it can be difficult to keep to that.

Everyone would like to love and respect their elders but when they see them lose their memory and intelligence, it can be difficult to keep to that. However, the staff at Blackdown, even with the most difficult of charges, do keep to that and act very caringly and with great respect. The staff are always professional and find some way to keep everyone harmonised with everyone else. In this sense, they are like mothers to their charges. Dealing with someone who has dementia can be very trying. So, you have to have a full heart and good training and understanding to look after such people with the sort of inspiring care and compassion that you see at Blackdown. I am so grateful to them and wish everybody who unfortunately gets into this debilitating situation, has the good fortune to enjoy the same beautiful love and support that the people here enjoy. It is wonderful what the nurses do and they deserve to be richly rewarded for their overflowing love and kindness.

I would have no qualms about recommending this care facility to anyone unfortunate enough to require such care.
