The care + support provided by all staff is exceptional there is a good mix of activities available + participation is good. The kitchen staff are excellent + I enjoy the freedom of being able to make my own hot drinks + quick snacks. It is clear that all staff take safety + security very seriously which leads to residents feeling safe. My room is now set up just how I want it and I enjoy spending time in it with family + friends.
Thank you for sharing such lovely words about the home and your personal experiences. I will ensure that this is fed back to the team. We as a team pride ourselves on commitment to our residents and to know that you feel safe and happy means a great deal to us all. Thank you again for sharing your lovely comments

Thank you so much for the lovely review I will make sure that I share it with all of the staff. It is our pleasure to be part of your families journey. Thank you again for your lovely words
I cannot fault anything about tynefield court my mum has settled in very well and is very well looked after she asks for a cup of tea and she has it within minutes. There are always plenty of carers about to look after the residents. The carers all know their jobs and what they are doing. It is very clean and tidy mums room is spotless. The manager and her team are on top of everything and certainly know what they are doing. Mum has 3 meals a day and the food is excellent all done fresh on site. I would highly recomend Tynefield to anyone who is looking for a care home for their loved ones.Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for everything you do for my mum.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. I will make sure that this is shared with all of the staff. Your mum has fitted into our family perfectly and is a pleasure to be part of her journey
My nans last few days were spent at Tynfield care home, Etwall and I could not thank their staff enough. A special mention to Kelly who made my nan feel so comfortable and cared so much for her including the rest of the staff looking after her. Also a special mention to Aimee who I believe is the manager. The kindness and support you have shown us will not be forgotten!
We as a family, are so thankful for everyone who looked after my nan. We are devastated my nan isn't here any longer but find comfort knowing my nan was cared and made comfortable in her last few days from the amazing staff.
Everything was done in a professional manner and my nan was treated with such dignity.
Thank you again everyone at Tynfield care home. We appreciate everything you have done for our special nan.
Kind regards
Olly
Im very sorry for the loss of your nan. It means a lot to hear that she was cared for with dignity and made comfortable in her final days.
Ill make sure your lovely comments are passed on to Kelly, Aimee and the rest of the team at...
I was very very looked after during my time there with great support to help me to depend on survive on my own. The food was great cooked by their chefs and the care from their senior carers was exceptional.
Great care when needed.
Very good care, always go above and beyond. Very polite and helpful. Couldn't wish Grandad to be in a better place. Great work, keep it up.
Dad was initially admitted for assessment, because of the quality of care he received we decided for him to remain at the care home. Dad's condition means his needs are quite demanding but the environment, food, room, and thoughtfulness of the staff are very good and cater for his needs. Dad recently suffered a medical emergency - the reaction and attention by the staff was exemplary.
The staff here are fantastic, extremely friendly and can't do enough to help. The level of care they provide around the clock is outstanding. The food is excellent, the home is spotlessly clean in both the residents' rooms and communal areas. I am very confident that my grandad is safe and well cared for.
I was made to feel welcome, and at the time of my visit, noted activities going on, and the residents appeared to be so happy.
The manager was so approachable and warm when I asked questions relating to my friend's options on returning home.
All in all, a stunning home and a warm environment. I would 100% recommend this home to anyone.
I am happy and content with my mum living at Tynefield Court.
Lovely friendly place, the staff were all lovely and the care provided for my brother was amazing. The rooms are decorated very well and nice and clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming especially the manager, a lovely home would recommend.
My dad was admitted to the home for the last couple of weeks of his life he was very cared for and the staff and management were very supportive. As my dad passed away early in the morning I was called to go and sit with him, nothing was too much trouble for the staff, tea and coffee was offered and after my dad the staff came in and supported me. Would recommend this home to any loved one.
We could not have wished for better care than my mum received during her stay, over 4 weeks, for end of life care at Tynefield Court. All staff treated my mum as if she was their own mother. They were extremely attentive, gentle, caring and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. They also looked after our family when visiting, ensuring our visits were as stress-free as could be possible, in the circumstances. We have and will certainly be recommending Tynefield Court to anyone requiring similar care.
My grandma is receiving end of life care here. I’ve visited several times in the last week or so. All the food I’ve tried before helping grandma has been tasty and served at the right temperature. All the staff I have had dealings with have shown genuine empathy. And most importantly my grandma tells me she is being well looked after and is happy. At this difficult time, thank you.
None of the staff look like they want to be there.
There’s virtually no entertainment for the residents, unlike other care homes that put on bingo, etc.
Many items from my Grandads home that we have bought in to make him more comfortable disappear after twenty-four hours, with nobody knowing where they have gone.
Do not be persuaded by the few positive reviews, if your relatives' welfare is your main concern, this is the last place you should send them.
Very sad that you thought you needed to respond via the dashboard, the home and authorities have investigated your complaint and found it unsubstantiated and have no concerns, the home and the team have also closed down their investigation. Everyone has the right to initiate and address any...
My mum is in this home after a fall in hospital in which she fractured her femur and then had to have major surgery which was very traumatic for her. She was then welcomed by Tynefield Court which I can only describe as - with open arms. My mum is very happy as are we as a family, whatever you need explaining to you in terms that you understand, it is explained thoroughly. And another important thing to us, as a family, is the fact that she is treated like a family member. Thank you so very much for the care you are providing for my mum and us, as a family.
Whilst visiting a dear friend at Tynefield Court, my first impressions were good. Very warm and welcoming. Staff were caring and attentive towards residents. The manager was approachable and friendly.
Fantastic care and service - caring for a good friend of mine during a respite stay. Caring staff, lovely food, excellent ambience and feel to the home. All staff were professional and experienced, patient and kind.
Take care, Keep safe.
Jill
At times a shortage of staff. Wifi very bad signal, very low. Waiting time for staff when called can be too long at times. The food is very good, but teatime there's room for improvement. Since May 2019, and a new manager has arrived, improvements are being made. Management, staff do the best they can and generally very happy with the home. Wifi is a big letdown as this enables me to keep in contact with my wife.

Meet the Team (1)

Hi, I’m Katie, and I joined Tynefield Court in February 2026 as the Home Manager. I have worked in the care sector for many years and have extensive experience supporting residents with complex needs.
Most recently, I worked as a Registered Manager overseeing two large nursing services that supported people with complex health conditions and behaviours that may challenge. This experience has helped shape my approach to leadership and care.
I am passionate about leading with kindness and compassion and about ensuring residents receive the highest standards of care. I strongly believe in continually improving the experience of those who live in our homes, making sure Tynefield Court is a place where residents feel safe, respected and truly at home.
I am very happy to have joined the team at Tynefield Court and look forward to meeting residents, families and the local community.
If you are considering care for a loved one, please feel free to give me a call and arrange a visit. I would be delighted to show you around our residents’ home.
