Abbey View Nursing & Residential Home

My mother is cared for with great kindness and thoughtfulness and her individual needs are always catered for. The professionalism of the staff is outstanding and their high standards and attention to detail are always noted. She is very happy living here - she feels safe and secure and enjoys the interaction with the staff. The food is superb. She often says it is like coming to a good hotel. Considering how resistant she was to come into a care home I am delighted how happy and well cared for she is.

All the rooms are beautiful. The activities are interesting. The residents I visit are full of compliments for the care they receive. I would like to come and live here one day.

My stay was very comfortable and enjoyable respite stay.

I enjoyed the food and company. All the staff were very caring and excellent. Very enjoyable varied activities.

I came here in October 2016 it has taken a long time to settle due to having to give up my home and my much loved 12-year-old cat, he has now settled in a new home so I feel happier. The highlight of my week is out in the minibus which is the thing I really look forward too.

I know my sister is well looked after.

It is home from home - all residents are happy and taken great care of.

Our mother was only in the home for 6/8 weeks and in that time she was treated with great care and dignity. Nothing was too much for the staff especially in their patience and the time they spent reassuring my sister and myself. We couldn't have asked for a better ending for our beloved mother.

I am made to feel like one of the "Abbey View Family"

We wanted the best for aunty, somewhere she could be happy and comfortable. Abbey View ticked all the boxes! Staff are always cherry and ready to help, nothing is too much trouble and aunty is "happy"! So we are too.

If I feel depressed, I think it is just the situation of having left my home of 60 years in a village I loved. The on whole, I am a glass half full person.

My experience has been one of kindness and a caring attitude by all members of staff. From carers to information staff, to assistants of all branches.

I am able to socialise if I wish or be in my room if I want privacy and my own company. I am able to receive guests whenever I wish. I think the mattress I have makes me rather hot at night.

Friendly, attentive, always a smile. Very good at keeping relatives updated with situations. Very well run. If they want to get involved very good social activities.

Thank you .

I have visited my father in Abbey View every day for the past 7 months. He had moved here after 2 1/2 years living with us. We thought the staff were just amazing and that includes everyone who had contact with us as a family. Both my parents have been residents at different times and on both occasions we have had nothing but praise and admiration for the genuine care and attention to details given to my parents. All I can finish with is a messaged of deep gratitude and thanks for making his last months so valuable. Thank you.

My husband moved to the above home when the home he was in closed at the end of November. My husband was made very welcome and comfortable at Abbey View, and I couldn't praise them enough. Sadly my husband passed away on the 29th January, he was paralysed down one side and was unable to speak. I really felt he missed his old home where he had lived for nearly five years. Nevertheless, I am sure there were some good days at Abbey View, despite new faces everyday and his inability to converse with them. My advice is don't close a home unless it is really necessary.

I always find Abbey View to be extremely clean and tidy. It has become like a second home to me, Mum and the rest of our family. And a lot of the staff have become our friends. I have already recommended Abbey View to other families, and will continue to do so.
