I could not recommend this care home more. My mother has dementia and we have lived for many years of caring for her, but when the time came for her to move into a care home, we could not have picked a better place. The staff really care about the residents and know exactly how to bring the best out of them. I have not seen my mum as settled and happy for a long time. Of course she has bad days, but the staff know exactly what to do and they never pass the burden onto us. We visit most days and everyone I have met has been wonderful. I leave feeling happy that my mum is being well looked after and is happy. They have her doing crafts, playing games and even took her out for fish and chips (one on one). These things calm her down and make her happy. We can now do the nice things with mum, knowing she is being so well looked after. Furthermore, she has a beautiful room, with all her things around her, and everywhere is always spotlessly clean. I cannot fault the place at all.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback about Sherwood Forest. We're delighted to hear your mother is happy, settled and enjoying the personalised care and experiences our team provides. It means so much to know you have confidence in her care and can enjoy quality time together. Thank you for your kind words about our colleagues and home.
My mum has been at Sherwood Forest for a couple of months as it is no longer in her best interests to remain at home for many reasons. The staff are always wonderful on our visits, always respectfully giving us quality time with Mum before addressing any issues we may need to know about. We...
My mum has been at Sherwood Forest for a couple of months as it is no longer in her best interests to remain at home for many reasons. The staff are always wonderful on our visits, always respectfully giving us quality time with Mum before addressing any issues we may need to know about. We weren't able to see Mum for a few weeks as we were away from the area but Sherwood rang me wirh regular updates and were happy for me to speak to Mum on the phone at any time when I called. Mum seems calmer and more settled than I have seen her in a while, clean, comfortable, well fed with a healthier appearance now. The home embraces both residents and visitors in a family community atmosphere with a great feeling of socialisation and belonging.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback about Sherwood Forest. We're delighted to hear your mum has settled so well and that our team kept you supported and informed while you were away. It means a great deal to know she feels comfortable, well cared for and part of our warm community.
Our family are very happy with the care my aunt is currently receiving at Sherwood (since Feb 2026). Health issues are dealt with very promptly, along with any concerns we or my aunt might have (staff happy to take calls at any time to discuss). The staff at Sherwood try and create an upbeat...
The staff are a lovely, dedicated team who have clearly been carefully selected to reflect the home's exceptionally high standards of care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sherwood to anyone who has the difficult task of finding a home for their relative.
Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear your aunt is enjoying life at Sherwood and that our team, dining experience and welcoming atmosphere have made a positive difference. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

3 years ago I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put both my mum and dad into care,both having dementia. I truly made the best decision putting them in Sherwood Forest. Everyone in there goes above and beyond and love my parents like I do.Unfortunately my dad passed away on the 6th January but the care and love they showed me during this time has been amazing. I cry with them and laugh with them. The activities are amazing and there is always something happening to keep them occupied. If I had to do it all again Sherwood would be the one I would choose. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything I love you all.
Thank you for sharing such a deeply moving reflection. It means so much to know your parents felt surrounded by warmth, compassion and meaningful experiences.

While my partner was here the staff always looked after him really well. The food was good. When he passed away, the staff were really helpful and supportive. I still come to the home for coffee morning and always made welcome.

My mother seems happy enough with living there. We have had a few issues over clothes and personal belongings going from Mum's room. She's also had quite a few bruises and skin tears over the last year some of which I feel could have been avoided with a bit better care.
