Forest Hill House Nursing Home

My mother has thrived since moving to Forest Hill House. She is always happy and contented. The staff are fantastic and support the wonderful family atmosphere. Whether you are a relative or resident, the friendly welcome is always there. In addition to the work of the carers, the support shown by nursing staff and management is second to none, The activities provided are stimulating and Mum cannot wait to tell me what they have done. I am happy that Mum's care is in safe hands and would recommend this nursing home to anyone.

The staff provide a consistently high level of care for my dad. They are always friendly when I visit and make time to speak to me about my dad's care.

I cannot recommend Forest Hill House highly enough. They were superb and they looked after Mum and Dad with the greatest care and consideration. Truly wonderful people. Thank you all.

Dad spent the last 20 months of his life at Forest Hill until his peaceful death just before his 99th birthday. Before then he lived in our family home alone since Mum's death 10 years ago. The moment Dad arrived he was wheeled to the dining room for a hot meal which was a perfect start for a sailor who had served throughout the 2nd World War and had never lost his appetite. During his time there, Dad flourished with the routine, care and activities (particularly music and dancing). From our viewpoint, it was reassuring that Dad was being looked after by skilled care, medical and domestic staff. They all adored him and always had a cheery word for him. He, in turn, always responded. For his 98th birthday party, the cook baked a wonderful chocolate cake which was enjoyed by everyone from Dad to his 3 great-grandchildren. The only slight negative was that laundry sometimes failed to be returned to the correct wardrobe. However, this never impacted on the quality of life that Dad enjoyed.
