Sherwood Forest Residential and Nursing Home

All staff are obliging and smiling. The food is good.

The care that my sister is receiving is very good. The staff are caring and thoughtful towards my sister. They are kind and understanding. Thank you.

Since my mum became a resident, everyone here has been very helpful and friendly towards everyone, my sister, myself or my mum. I am happy that my mum is being cared for in a very positive way and she seems very settled.

very good place overall. Mum has improved massively since being here, mentally and physically and in general appearance. She is clearly very well looked after by the staff who always have time for everyone and always try their best to cater to any requests.

Friendly, attentive staff. It's clear to see my mother-in-law is really well looked after. Hair nails etc. She's bright, cheerful, alert and appears happy. Need tings to do, colouring, activity sheets perhaps.

I have been coming to the home almost every day for the last 15 months. In that time, everyone has been very friendly.

Would highly recommend this home to anyone. The staff go above and beyond to care for the residents and for us relatives too. The entertainment that I have been to is just great - lovely, friendly atmosphere. The food and dining experience looks very much improved too. My dad seems very satisfied; he often tells me he is happy here, which is such a comfort to me. Keep up the good work.

Mum went in April 2023 for respite care and had extensive nursing needs due to multiple health issues. Her medical conditions improved greatly with care from all the nursing team, especially one staff member in particular. The care team were excellent and all, apart from two persons, would always smile and engage positively when you visited. Cleaners, especially one cleaner in particular, look out and engage with the residents. We had one complaint regarding Mum's care and it was dealt with professionally by the deputy manager and we felt we were listened to and the staff member was advised accordingly. The previous manager was excellent from the start, when we started the process of moving Mum in she was always accessible and had time to discuss any concerns. This manager moved on, but we felt that the deputy manager and the new manager have picked up the reigns. Another staff member was always accessible with queries re finance, admin etc. Only improvement, the door bell confusion for visitors and waits at times! Mum came home in September so well done to the team. Success.

My husband has been in the nursing home for over two years, and I have nothing but praise for the staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They treat the residents with such kindness, care and respect, which also extends to their families. There are also activities every day for residents who are able to take part. It is a homely, happy atmosphere when you walk in. I would not wish for my husband to be anywhere else.

Staff are very caring towards the residents treating them as family. Nothing is too much trouble. The nursing home is very comfortable for residents, and they enjoy the various activities and lovely party afternoons on special occasions.

Hats off to all the staff, as I most definitely could not do this challenging job with a smile as they do.

Lovely, caring and helpful staff. Nothing seems too much and are always very attentive to patients.

The home is very friendly, and the staff are lovely.

All the staff are wonderful, really caring and look after my dad so, so well. Nothing is too much trouble, and they go above and beyond. Thank you. My dad has been with you for two years, and we are so grateful we found you.

Staff are lovely and take fantastic care of my grandad. We are always made to feel welcome when visiting. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Everyone here has given me a rounded, safe experience.

She is dancing and joining in with the activities of the home. I can recommend Sherwood Forest to anyone who is looking for care for their relatives because of the friendly professional care that my wife has received since she entered the home five months ago!

I have found everything about this home to be really good. All the staff are very friendly and won't for nothing. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff will always find something for people to do during the day and have entertainment on a regular basis.

Our mum has been at Sherwood Forest for nearly three years now. The staff are always pleasant and cannot do enough for you when you visit. They all appear friendly and caring when dealing with Mum, which can be very challenging at times. The food is excellent, and the activities have much improved with new staff and since Covid restrictions have reduced.

It is easy to arrange visits and take my father out, and the staff are more than willing to make both situations very easy and beneficial for me and my father and others that visit.
