We are very happy with the level of care that our Mum is receiving at The Coombs. Staff are kind and efficient and whenever we visit Mum we are so pleased to see how content she is at The Coombs. Mum's room is clean and cosy and has her personal effects, family photos, mementoes etc.

The staff are always friendly and helpful.
The care and attention given is extremely good and makes her happy.

As the boxes show, I would strongly recommend The Coombs to anyone who would ask me. The only reservation, that was not asked, was parking. I think that this should be looked at.

We, my brothers, sister and I are very happy with everything at The Coombs.

From the initial enquiry regarding a placement for Mum to my recent visit, all members of staff have been exemplary in their care for Mum and help and kindness to the family.

A local home providing all round excellent care.
I visited the home in July 2017, pending my aunt's discharge from hospital and instantly got a very warm comfortable feeling about the facilities (the pod system lends itself perfectly to a communal atmosphere), surroundings and most importantly the staff and level of care they would deliver. This...
In summing up, there are no individuals amongst the care team at The Coombs, every member carried the same ethos which obviously comes from the leadership of the home manager who is excellent. For me, The Coombs provides "excellent care wrapped in a big warm hug".

When we knew that my Mother would require residential care, I was anxious to find her a bed at The Coombs because over decades I have been impressed by the quality of care I have seen to be offered there. I was not disappointed during the period from October 2017 to her peaceful death earlier this month. The critical issue for me is the standard of care offered by the carers and medical and other staff within the home and my wife and I have been more than satisfied with everything we have seen and experienced during this time. Under great pressure from demanding patients with complex needs and personality issues arising from illness or from one of a number of particular conditions I saw great sympathy, support and help offered on a regular basis by many Carers who do a difficult job with good humour and consistency.
Nice friendly home with caring staff. Although an old building, it was clean and tidy. The food looked appetising and the staff are really kind and considerate.

My mother has been in The Coombs for two weeks now. The care and attention she receives is first class. All staff are wonderful. She is happy and comfortable and pain-free. She has improved greatly in last two weeks and I believe this is because of the excellent care and attention she has received. I would highly recommend The Coombs to others. I speak on behalf of the rest of the family and we would like to express our thanks to all staff for making our mother happy and comfortable as she nears the end of her life.
I base my review on the fact that my mum is settled, well cared for and happier than she has been for many years. She tells me almost every day about the lovely food and the kindness of the staff. As a frequent visitor, I feel valued and most welcome at all times. I have only two negative points to...
Activities for residents are only arranged 4 of 7 days as the coordinator is part time.
We went to The Coombs because it was recommended now we know why. It was exemplary. The manager pulled out all the stops to assess my mother-in-law on the ward. The home continues to communicate frequently with facilitating discharge. At the Coombs, the care was excellent, they were kind, patient,...
The staff were again so supportive, communicating with GP, pharmacy and social services. Throughout, their communication and care, was more than excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend The Coombs.
On visiting friendly on a weekly basis, it is always a pleasure to visit. The staff are always very helpful, both to residents and visitors. Activities appear to be very good and on a regular basis. Always a very pleasant aroma when entering - good to note.

When my friend first moved into The Coombs, she was very dispirited and disinterested in everything. Within a very short time, I could see the difference in her - she began to care about her physical appearance, took an interest in other residents and developed a strong relationship with the staff. The encouragement she has had, including learning to use a powered wheelchair for the first time, has resulted in her looking and sounding much more lively. I am delighted every time I visit her - and I can only put her present good health, improved appearance and involvement in residents' well-being, down to the wonderful staff and facilities.
I have always found The Coombs to be a friendly home with the utmost of care and consideration being shown to all the patients and also to all the visitors. It is a pleasure to go there and nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

The Coombs provided kind and supportive care for my mum during her respite. I was impressed with the willingness of all the staff to accommodate mum's wishes and let her choose what she did and didn't want, could or couldn't do. The house has a lovely atmosphere and the rooms are as homely as possible. Mum said they listened too me and didn't just treat me like a silly old lady. I think that says it all.
Some residents are lonely at times.

My Step father arrived at the Coombs on the 15/02/16. first Impressions are very important. The Manager is in this job because of her kind, caring and wonderful compassion she shows, this is immediately obvious. We were so I pressed by her kindness and then could see what a fabulous team she had, even hand picked it would seem by how super they all are. He has had a rough time but so far has settled well and been so well looked after and comfortable. To us as a family the Manager and her team have been superb. So far everything has been so perfect we are in shock, I am sure with what we have seen this will continue. The home is beautiful and the residents are so friendly too, you can see how happy they are to be here. Well done, so far one very amazing place!!!!

Jackie is our Specialist Senior Care Leader and has over 25 years of experience to contribute in this pivotal role at The Coombs.
“I initially started working at The Coombs back in April 1993. My children were getting older which gave me the time to start working again. I found out about a local job at The Coombs from a family friend and decided to give it a try – 27 years later and I am still here!”
Jackie has a brilliant knowledge of the care industry and enjoys using her experience to help other members of the care team.
“The best part about working at The Coombs is getting to know our wonderful residents and supporting the rest of the staff team whenever I can.”
It is only natural that things will have considerably changed over Jackie’s time at The Coombs, but she continues to set high standards of herself and the team which has contributed to The Coombs’ consistently high reputation in the local community. This is something Jackie is very proud of.
And the best time of year at The Coombs? Well that’s an easy one for Jackie. “We don’t have a Christmas Day at The Coombs… we have a Christmas month! Christmas at The Coombs is always a rewarding time of year when we bring the staff, our residents and the community together.”
