Amesbury Abbey

My mother was very ill in December but received excellent care and was nursed back to health by the lovely staff at Amesbury Abbey. They also took the time to communicate my mother's condition to my sisters and me on a daily basis.

My father has been in the care of Amesbury Abbey for nearly four years and I cannot rate highly enough the care, love and attention he receives every day. I live overseas and I never have to worry for a minute knowing he is in the very best possible care. The staff are always so kind and nothing is ever too much trouble. I can't imagine him happier or in better care anywhere else.

My sister and I could never imagined how content and happy our mother is at this stage of her life. The kindness and compassion she is shown everyday in every aspect is exceptional. We would like to convey our sincere gratitude.

Excellent care all-round. Keeps me fully informed of status of patient and alerts me when necessary

All staff very diligent and nothing too much trouble

The home is very well maintained and the bedroom very comfortable and well furnished.

Highly recommendable

We are so lucky to have found Amesbury Abbey, my mothers physical health, out look, mental health improved ten fold after her move in to her gorgious room at Amesbury Abbey. The carers are attentive, kind, patient, make Mum laugh, nothing is too much trouble. The activities are numerous, including dinners, concerts, films, exercise, fun and laughter all are tailored towards the different levels and needs of the elderly, the attention to detail in all aspects of the Care home are first rate, I would highly recommend.

I have visited my 99 year old mother once a week throughout the time she has been at Amesbury Abbey and my 3 siblings do likewise. My mother is very content in the lovely surroundings at the Abbey but the one single factor that makes it so special is that the staff are so welcoming to anyone who visits and always have time to stop, chat and make time for the residents.

The management lay on numerous events through the year for residents and their families all of which are extremely successful and well attended

Such lovely staff and with out exception kindness is shown at all times. Fun events around the year and very relaxed atmosphere creating a home from home. The house and gardens are lovely and walking in the summer is always a joy. The flowers are welcoming in the hall and the latest country life magazines there for residents to sit and read. Lucky residents

The staff are unfailingly kind. Knowing she is in such good hands means I am not anxious about her. Mum loves the food, which is excellent. Amesbury Abbey just has a good feel. Visiting is a pleasure because the surroundings and staff are so lovely.

My Father in Law has been with The Amesbury Abbey Group now for over five years. The Abbey itself is a stunning building and an incredibly beautiful place to live. The care and support from each and every member of the staff is second to none. He is treated with kindness, dignity, warmth and utter respect covering his needs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. His furniture , pictures, clothes and all of his own belongings surround him in his room. Housekeeping take great care of everything for him. The menu changes every day and there is always a choice of what to have. Breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and supper provide all home cooked delicious items. The kitchen are always happy to fulfil any personal requests, especially on your birthday! When visiting my Father in Law its like entering into one very big family. Everybody is happy, lots of banter, lots of fun and a great atmosphere. The management team are exceptional, my Father in Law leads a very happy life there.

I've always felt supported via the management team, nursing and care staff, which has been a great comfort.

I had a wonderful two weeks of Respite care. All the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. I had a very comfortable room and the food was all delicious and home cooked. All the residents seemed to be happy and were treated like family. There were a great many activities during the week especially things such as Scrabble and card games for the memory and plenty of films etc. Would thoroughly recommend and such beautiful surroundings.

My father has been a resident at Amesbury Abbey for nearly two years. I live overseas in Australia and although it is so very far away, the staff, all the staff couldn't be more amazing at keeping me abreast of my father's health and wellbeing. He is so very happy there and so amazingly cared for. I just can't fault any part of his care. He has a wonderful rapport with everyone and just couldn't ask for more. When we stay over and visit we are so well accommodated and helped at every turn. The accommodation, food and everything is just 5-star!

My Father is now in his fifth year of living under the care of Amesbury Abbey Care. He feels well and truly at home with the wonderful team of staff that look after him every single day. Nothing is ever too much trouble The care is bespoke, individual and personalised to his needs. All of the staff treat Dad as one of their own family. The nursing care is exceptional. The meals are really well planned and like being in a five-star hotel. Housekeeping looks after Dad's belongings, his paintings, family photographs and furniture, and makes sure he is looking dapper every day in freshly laundered attire. There are always activities going on which keeps Dad engaged with the other residents and means he still has a social life and things to look forward to. With reflection over the last five years, I am so lucky that I moved Dad to Winton and then The Abbey when I did. It's exceptional in every way.

The standard of care is quite exceptional. My mother has had a difficult year and the staff have made quite extraordinary efforts to make her as comfortable and happy as possible. They are invariably kind, patient and concerned. The manager is a truly exceptional individual and I cannot praise her highly enough.

This included the difficult Covid period.

My Mother has been a resident for two years following my father's death. She was very depressed when she came to the Abbey at Christmas 2022, feeling that her life was done and wishing it to be over but little by little she was helped to find her feet by the charming staff. The relaxed and homely atmosphere combined with respectful encouragement to join in has worked its magic. She is now much happier and enters into the many activities laid on for the residents - the Christmas dinner, to which I was invited as a guest, was a joyful experience. I live abroad and can stay in the excellent guest accommodation when I visit. The communication between the care home and my brother, sister and myself has been excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic home for my mum, with caring staff that go above and beyond to keep her happy, well and engaged. There are many activities arranged and staff have the time to sit with her if needed or help her take part in activities. She is very happy and we have no concerns about her wellbeing. It's also a stunning place to live with fabulous grounds to explore.

We, as a family of 3 siblings have been very pleased with Amesbury Abbey. Our parents are together in a nice suite and are warm and comfortable, surrounded by their own things. My parents cannot speak too highly of the kindness and care they receive from everyone at Amesbury Abbey. We three visit regularly and would agree with this comment. My parent's situation is a difficult one, my father is 103 and really wants peace and quiet and to sleep, although he does very much enjoy stimulating company. Meanwhile, my mother at 98, would like to be incredibly active but is hampered by suffering from severe Macular Degeneration. The staff do their very best to help her and to involve her in anything that is going on in the way of activities.

The kindness, patience and cheerfulness of the staff as they go about sometimes challenging professional duties is inspiring. The care that they provide ensures that we do not worry when we are not able to be there. They have made my father feel welcome and respected and encouraged him to join in with meeting others and going to the group things going on.
