My mother has now been in The Coombs for 2 years. She is very deaf and completely blind, her mental capacity is much less now but when she asks where she is and I say "The Coombs!" she has said "I like that". She knows she is cared for and well looked after and recently asked me to thank everyone for looking after her so well. All the staff are gentle, kind and respectful. It really does feel like a family and I am so grateful. The home is "super clean" with no smells. It is well decorated and the grounds well kept. Parking is sometimes a bit difficult but that is a very minor problem!.

His bedroom is a good size, well equipped and always very clean and tidy. The staff are all so caring and attentive to his needs and he really enjoys their company. The food is of a high standard with a good variety each day. I, also, have had great support from the manager and all the staff too - the best care home I have ever visited over a number of years.
The staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and we felt that my partner was well looked after and they tried to make the food appetizing. Due to his limited mobility the manager changed his room to make him much more comfortable to enable him to see more. From the moment we stepped...
The staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and we felt that my partner was well looked after and they tried to make the food appetizing. Due to his limited mobility the manager changed his room to make him much more comfortable to enable him to see more. From the moment we stepped through the door we felt a caring and loving atmosphere where people really cared about the individual. Special thanks has to go to the carers who were there in his last moments and many others who cared for him a big thank you for their compassion and love.
Choosing a nursing home for dad was a daunting task. A soon as we walked through the door at The Coombs we were reassured he would be well cared for. The staff are wonderful; dad received the best of care and they are so supportive to relatives too. Dad's cat was even able to visit his room. The...
Choosing a nursing home for dad was a daunting task. A soon as we walked through the door at The Coombs we were reassured he would be well cared for. The staff are wonderful; dad received the best of care and they are so supportive to relatives too. Dad's cat was even able to visit his room. The Coombs is bright, airy and well decorated and maintained. Overall very pleasant. It is a real home from home. Dad wasn't able to join in with the arranged activities but the "All about me" booklet was an excellent tool for conversation. We even learned a few new things too!
I think the Coombs is a great home in every way from carers to cleaners and gardener. Food is great and very clean. Well run home, plenty of activities going on. So glad we were able to get a place for Mum here. The home always very warm and welcoming. Mum and all the family looking forward to a...

Jade Mainwaring became the Home Manager at The Coombs in 2020. Working in the care sector for over 17 years, with nine years in management roles. She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management and a Level 3 Health and Social Care.
Starting work in a care home at the age of 17, Jade wasn’t intending to stay in the sector, but she likes to think that care chose her. Jade believes that if you are a passionate person then this line of work is one you can never leave.
Jade says that being a Home Manager can be challenging at times, but she has an amazing team who all work through the difficult moments together. Jade always ensures that the highest level of person-centred care is delivered. She also says that developing the team and implementing an open culture is highly important.
Jade said: “I am passionate about care quality and developing a model of care to achieve outstanding outcomes. I believe in OSJCT’s values and, having rejoined the Trust previously, I am excited to be back as a Home Manager."
In Jade’s spare time, she spends time with her two young children.

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.”
