Overall Experience
Rooms are very comfortable and attractive, though chairs could have been more comfortable. Bathroom ok, a good variety of food, laundry service could have been better, I lost two items of clothing which were never found. Staff were great, always pleasant and ready to help.

Thank you for your comments about the staff, management, accommodation, cleanliness and laundry service at Amberwood House. Please note we have a strict labelling programme for clothing in order to prevent items from going astray. This is part of our step-by-step admission guide. Thereafter, we rely on families letting us know when they bring new items of clothing in so they can be labelled as well. We are sorry about the missing clothing mentioned on this occasion. Please be reassured we do our very best to ensure laundry is cared for and not lost and are confident that this matter has now been resolved. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts.”

Overall Experience
Amberwood House is an excellent residential and nursing care home, with a superb staff who gave me great care and treated me with so much kindness. When I spent two weeks there for extra rest after my operation to remove a large growth and full hysterectomy at the age of 91 years. I thank them all/
