Canford Chase

What my brother-in-law is experiencing is very good. I can't imagine him living him anywhere else. I knew of the home as I have a friend there and noticed how happy she is there and I knew that this was the best place for my brother-in-law. There is no comparison. My brother-in-law's son came over from South Africa and he was very impressed with the home and the care. So far no complaints.

I have in the past and will certainly recommend Colton Care in the future. Having volunteered for nearly ten years and became a resident for four weeks after leaving hospital.

My father was a resident in Canford Chase for two months. He was 96. The standard of care he received was exemplary. He was treated with great dignity and respect right until the end. His medical needs were always seen to. All the staff were extremely supportive. I often felt he was their only resident. They always took the time to be there for him and for me. I and my late mother who sadly passed away during those last two months. I will always be eternally grateful for everything Canford Chase did for him. Thank You. I always had peace of mind he was being looked after.

The staff have been fantastic.
They are friendly, extremely helpful and polite.
My mother has thoroughly enjoyed herself during her month's respite care at Canford.

We have found the staff to be welcoming, friendly and caring. A nice personal touch; know everyone including family on first name terms. They appear to enjoy their work. Facilities are excellent, immaculate, cleanliness and attention to detail e./g fresh flowers and papers. The gardens are beautifully maintained providing a lovely environment for residents to relax and enjoy nature. Daily activities/entertainment is varied and inclusive. The food is of good quality and the dining staff are kind and attentive.

I am impressed with all aspects of this care home. It feels like a 5-star hotel. The residents are looked after with the utmost care. The nursing is good and the activities throughout the day are stimulating and well organised. My aunt is very well looked after and appreciates the care she receives. She enjoys the delightful garden and the excellent food and catering. As a visitor, I feel very welcome and enjoy coming here. I cannot praise this home highly enough.

The best nursing and care. Excellent food provision, choice and service as well as "top notch" activities and trips/visits out. Also, constant thought and reinvestment in the lovely garden and premises is much appreciated. I view them all as my second family. Thank you.

My wife has been here for the last 2 weeks. So far, we have found the facilities to be excellent.

Both of my parents moved into Canford Chase together.
Mum had Alzheimers and was at the end of her life, dad also needed care and support due to a disability following a stroke. The end of life care and kindness given to my mum was outstanding. She could not have been cared for better. The support and care given to my dad throughout and following mum's death, have been brilliant. He has settled exceptionally well and nothing is too much trouble. The staff, without fail, always act with kindness, dignity and respect. The activities are brilliant. Dad says the food is excellent and family and visitors are always welcomed. Outstanding.

A beautifully run care home that I would recommend to anyone.

Frist - my wife's stay allowed me to have an operation. Secondly - I was able to recover from my operation with a stay at the home. (With my wife). I found the home to be excellent.

The whole family, including residents, have always been treated with the utmost of respect Highly recommended this care home, its management and all staff. The recent refurbishment has certainly brightened up all rooms and common areas and makes them easy on the eyes.The external visits and birthday celebrations certainly add to the welcoming atmosphere at Canford Chase.

The staff swiftly assessed my mother and took her in after she was made temporarily homeless after a fire in her block at her house. She received a great welcome and a welcoming hug. The staff went out of their way to make mum feel at home. The food was delicious, plentiful and tailored to mums desires. The activities to her liking but most important of all the staff very attentive. Thank you.

I lived in a sheltered accommodation for 18 years as I needed more care. My friends have advised me to come to Canford Chase Nursing Home because they came for respite before.
Over here I find I get more support, the staff are very friendly and caring.
I am in the process of selling my flat, soon when I will sell it and I will consider Canford Chase as my home.

Felt secure and very well looked after by all staff. Carers very gentle. Nothings too much trouble.

Everything is very good. The nurses and carers did everything they could to help my wife. They did feed her and make her comfortable, more during the last 6 to 8 weeks. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even though, on occasions, she refused their help.

The staff are lovely people and everything they provided for her was first class and if I asked for something, it was always provided.

I am a fit 77 year old widow. I had a fall on 20th May 2016, whilst attending a social function meeting at 4pm (No alcohol or food involved) this fall resulted in a right hip fracture and I had surgery at Bournemouth Nuffield Hospital. I came to Canford Chase nursing home on 3rd June 2016 and departed 24th June to return home. My care has been of the highest standard and I have no hesitation in recommending this nursing home.

Everything first class, staff excellent good care, pleasant people, rooms very good, always ready to help.

Canford Chase offers an open and pleasing residence of a high standard at all levels of care for 54 ladies and gentleman. The rooms are well maintained offering comforting décor and unsuits. The communal areas are spacious and bright but can feel crowded at times when busy with wheelchairs and frames. Staff on all levels are to be commended for their service 24/7 creating a calm and happy atmosphere and quality meals, activities and excursions.

My godmother has been in two other homes. The first care home chosen by myself became unsuitable due to her increasing care needs. The second chosen by social services was ok but Canford Chase was my 1st choice once I got P.O.A. It feels like a nice friendly hotel. All staff are welcoming and friendly. The rooms are clean and smart. My godmother is getting great care. Family and friends are encouraged to come in for lunch anytime (with 24 hours notice) I can honestly say the food is excellent. They are very organised and label all clothes within minutes of giving new items to them using smart iron on labels. I have no faults to say at all, well done Colton Care!

Superlative in every way. Nothing but praise.
