Everything fine. Would be glad if there was a designated place for lost property. A shame staff are now wearing uniforms- there was much less of an institutional feel when they wore clothes of their own choice.

Thank you for your review. We have a lost property box in the office - please let me know as soon as possible what is missing and we will find it.
My husband has been in check house for two and half years now and I have found the care to be exceptional at all levels.

My loved one has lived at Check House for over 3 years and the care he receives there is a genuine and exemplary. The facilities are excellent and all the staff are wonderful, friendly and welcoming to residents and visitors. I know my loved one is very well looked after all his needs met to a consistently high standard. I would highly recommend Check House.
Thank you very much for the lovely review. It is a pleasure to have your loved one with us. I will pass this on to the team and thank you again.
My father lived at The Check House for 4.5 years until his death last week. I only have praise for the staff and nursing team who cared for him so compassionately throughout his time there and especially during the period at the end of his life. Dad was treated with the utmost respect and dignity...
We are so grateful to The Check House and would not hesitate to recommend them. It was a huge comfort to us knowing that Dad was happy and so well cared for. Many thanks.
Thank you Sue for your kind words. Your father was a pleasure to care for and we miss him.
My father has Dementia and was diagnosed during Covid. I supported Dad with independent living for as long as I could, but I wish I had found them earlier. The Check House is a wonderful environment for my father and one where I find myself humbled by the level of support and care they provide for...
As the sole carer for Dad, I can't recomend them highly enough. The whole team led by the manager are brilliant at what they do. There is no better place for Dad locally.

I cannot praise or recommend The Check House highly enough! My mother was a resident for a year until she passed away and both the staff and level of care were second to none. I live in the USA and nothing was too much trouble to keep me in contact with Mum, by either phone or video call and updated me whenever necessary. I always felt it was like an extended family, with the professional excellence added.
My dad lived at The Check House for nearly three and a half years. It is a lovely place. I always felt that the staff were kind and genuinely caring. At the end of his life, he was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. I wholeheartedly recommend The Check House to anyone.

I have always been kept fully informed of their progress. After losing my dad, my mum was comforted and helped to understand what had...
They felt they were on holiday whilst there!
Now after my mym has passed, everyone has been very thoughtful and sympathetic.
I believe the care they received here has enabled them to live their best end of life.
Simply the best care home I have seen. The staff really care, the facilities are very good and the food is amazing. Wow!

My mother was cared for at The Check House for about three years. She had dementia and was always treated with kindness by the staff. The food was amazingly good and at times my mother believed that she was staying in a rather nice hotel. My mother died recently and the staff were respectful and supportive. Dementia is a terrible and at times distressing illness for the person and their family but The Check House handle it in a caring and professional way.
Both of my parents were residents at The Check House. My father passed away in April 2022 and my mother in July 2022. Both passed away with dignity and amazing end-of-life care at The Check House. The staff at The Check House are amazing and were always attentive to both my parent's needs.

Excellent staff, facilities and activities, would 100% recommend. Great location and outside space. Always amazed at how much the staff involved residents in daily different activities and events. So glad my Mum was here.

My mother was a resident at Check House for over 5 years. During this time, she received exceptional care, delivered with great kindness and respect from all of the staff. I would most definitely recommend this Nursing Home.

The staff at Check House were all outstanding, the care for mum was exceptional and the care for the families was second to none. Welcoming, warm and homely. Palliative care was amazing even down to pureed food in moulds which looked like proper food. The aftercare was so touching, flowers and candles put around the room the morning that she passed and they made Mum look so cosy after she had. Amazing grace was playing on the speaker as she was carried out and nurses and carers lined the corridor. Check House made a very hard time in my life so much easier for me. I would put them at outstanding.
My husband has been a resident for over three and a half years. He has been so well cared for, not only physically, but emotionally. Always treated with respect, dignity and warmth.

My dad has been a resident for three and a half years. From the moment he was welcomed into the community at The Check House we have not had a moments worry about the standard of care he was receiving. From the management to the maintenance staff everyone is part of the caring team/family, and this shows in the atmosphere at The Check House. At times I was in the home 24hrs a day and saw that the good care was consistent, night and day. Once dad became bed-bound, enrichment was bought to his room, and excellent, respectful and appropriate care continued behind closed doors. The staff became like an extended family to us. We are so grateful.
We moved our Mum here after a terrible experience at a previous home. We were so nervous as she has advanced dementia and Parkinson's and we were worried about how the move would impact on her wellbeing. However, it has been an absolute dream, to see her looking so well cared for, she is clean,...
We moved our Mum here after a terrible experience at a previous home. We were so nervous as she has advanced dementia and Parkinson's and we were worried about how the move would impact on her wellbeing. However, it has been an absolute dream, to see her looking so well cared for, she is clean, happy, and stimulated. Activities on all the time. The carers are really great, you can see they really want to make a difference and understand the challenges of supporting someone with dementia. The setting is amazing and I love that there are lots of different areas for Mum to sit in as she is immobile, all very stimulating and a very happy and loving atmosphere when you visit.
