My name is Rob, husband and carer for wife Sue. In late July/early august I had to spend time in hospital for a few weeks. So I rang Dovedale Court because I knew it had an excellent reputation from having a family member as a resident before. I had a short interview with the manager so they could find out exactly what care my wife needed, her medications and times to give them etc. We have been married for 47 years and in all that time we have never been apart, not even for one day. Dovedale Court was the only care home I contacted because I knew of their reputation and I have to say, they exceeded both my wife and my own expectations. The rooms were well equipped and very comfortable. Most important of all my wife found every single member of staff to be extremely caring and very friendly. They could not do enough for her. While I was in hospital I obviously could not visit her but I phoned her every day and she said she really enjoyed her stay. I highly recommend this care home.
We are delighted to hear that both you and Sue felt reassured and supported during what must have been a very difficult time, particularly as you had never been apart during your 47 years of marriage....

It means a great deal to know that Sue felt comfortable, well cared for and enjoyed her stay with us while you were in hospital.
Your kind comments about our team and the care they provided will be shared with everyone at Dovedale Court. We are incredibly proud of our colleagues and know they will be very touched by your feedback.
Thank you again for placing your trust in us to care for Sue and for recommending Dovedale Court. We wish you both all the very best.
My Nan recently stayed here for a short respite stay whilst my grandad was in hospital and we couldn't have asked for better care. From the moment she arrived all of the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming and attentive making her time there incredibly pleasant for her and her family. She was...
Know that she was safe and in good hands gave us a real peace of mind whilst my grandad was in hospital.
We are so greatful to everyone who looked after her and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone needing respite or long term care.
Thanks for all your support and kindness

Our mom spent 2 weeks in the care home and they were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much for the staff, she actually enjoyed the stay, would use this home again and tell other people about it.

Although my father was a resident for a short time, he was treated by all staff with kindness and respect. Whenever we visited we felt welcome. The home had a lovely atmopshere which made the transition to the home easier for all of us. Thank you to all staff, who make Dovedale Court so special.

My aunt has been a resident with Dovedale Court over a year. She is always treated with such amazing care and dignity. She came in just for respite but has now become permanent.

My Dad resided here 30th December 2024 after my Husband and I came to view it. First impressions were very good. We passed on the information to my Dad, to which we said we hope we have picked the right place for you. We could not have been any closer to the truth because he settled in very well...
My Dad resided here 30th December 2024 after my Husband and I came to view it. First impressions were very good. We passed on the information to my Dad, to which we said we hope we have picked the right place for you. We could not have been any closer to the truth because he settled in very well and still feels the same. Obviously he was worried about moving in because it is a very big upheaval for anyone of his age. We definitely made the correct choice. Well done to all the staff. It is like we have known them for years.
My mom has been a resident at Dovedale Court for a few years, firstly on residential and latterly on nursing. All the staff have always been respectful, loving and caring of not just my mom's needs but those of mine and my family. Over the past few weeks, my mom has been cared for on nursing...
My mom has been a resident at Dovedale Court for a few years, firstly on residential and latterly on nursing. All the staff have always been respectful, loving and caring of not just my mom's needs but those of mine and my family. Over the past few weeks, my mom has been cared for on nursing end-of-life care. The staff have been truly amazing at this difficult time ensuring that my mom was loved, cared for and comfortable until the end of her life. They also made sure that our wishes were met, and are more like a family to us. I wouldn't have wished for a better place for my mom to spend her final days in a lovely caring place. Can't comment highly enough. Thank you!
I and my wife find this home as good as one can be. Thank you.
