Sherwood Forest Residential and Nursing Home

Sherwood Forest Residential Home and the whole team have changed my friend's standard of life in the most remarkable manner. Thanks to all the team. He is like a new person, happy, content and always laughing. An amazing turnaround for which we are truly thankful for.

Only been here a few times, but first impressions very good.

They are very patient and caring with the resident.

My husband has lived at Sherwood Forest home since February this year. He is very well cared for; the nursing staff always contact me if there is a concern, no matter how small. Care staff are friendly and cheerful towards residents and visitors. My husband is settled in the home and appears contented when I visit.

My friend resides at the care home; she is very happy with her conditions and seems very content. She has been there since Christmas 2019.

My husband moved here from the hospital, and he settled very quickly, much to my surprise. The staff seem to know my husband and cater for his needs very well and with care. He enjoys his meals and always says how good the food is. Unfortunately, he has had a couple of infections (not Covid), but he had received prompt medical care.

I have been visiting since last July regularly and have been impressed with the care and setup.

We have used Sherwood sanctuary for just a few months and find the service and care very good. The staff seem very caring, and we, as a family, are always informed of any problems or upsets. My husband seems quite relaxed and settled at Sherwood, and I hope this continues.

The staff are very good, and my dad seems settled. He has his moments due to his dementia, but overall, I am pleased with the home, and if there are any problems with Dad, the home always lets the family aware, so, yes, we are pleased.

My grandmother came to this care home in June 2021. It has taken some time for her to settle in, and at times, we have felt as though my grandmother has been difficult to deal with as she often rings the buzzer. Most staff have commented on this and how she shouts out loud for a staff member to help her. This is part of her dementia, and we feel more patients and understanding is needed with her.

My mum has settled well into the home and is calm, contented and feeling well. She has never slept well, and her confusion makes everyday things difficult to achieve, but the staff have been patient, kind and respectful.

All the staff seem to be very caring and helpful.

My father has been here since February/March 2021 and always seems fine when we visit. We are always welcomed when we visit. It has been a difficult time for everyone during this pandemic. Find staff polite and always have time to talk. Difficult to understand how Dad feels, but he seems in good health when we visit.

Mum is settled and happy in the home, and the staff are always considerate. We are confident that Mum is being taken good care of, and we are kept informed of any issues.

My dad has been a resident for some time; he has dementia which makes caring for him very challenging. The staff treat him with dignity and respect.

Due to Covid restrictions, I've not been able to see the facilities but the standard of care has really impressed me. Thank you.

Dad seems to be well looked after there. However, seem to be recurring issues with his clothing and his personal care during it seems the night shift. Maintenance of entrance/exit needs immediate work as tree overhangs and bird droppings are all over the path, which then transfers underfoot to may care. Clean up of the outside much needed! Staff overall are lovely and will listen and assist as requested.

It was all very good and Covid friendly. The care is excellent. Thank you.

During the pandemic, all precautions were taken and adhered to. Although very hard on me and my family, we were kept up to date on Mother's condition. She was on end of life in December 2019 and is still with us; that's down to the care and attention of all the staff. Many thanks to all.

My mother-in-law moved to Sherwood Forest after her previous home could not meet her needs. Sadly she was only at Sherwood Forest for four days before she passed away, but we were so impressed by the respect, care and humanity shown to her and us in her final days. We were lucky enough to be with her at the end, and the staff supported us through this difficult time. We are so glad she moved there, the staff are wonderful. After having a previous bad experience in a different home, we immediately noticed that Sherwood Forest is well run, and look after their residents with an excellent level of care. Thank you for everything.
