Cathedral Care Centre

My mum has recently been residing as a short term resident with Alzheimer's. The care and compassion she has received has been 5 star! The team at Cathedral Care Home has been significantly higher than we had ever expected and the transformation in both my mums appearance and mental wellbeing has also all improved. We cannot recommend Cathedral Care Home enough :)

My wife Glennis came into cathedral view for respite for two weeks and ended up been there five weeks and the care she had while there she had excellent care up until I took her home to die which is what she wanted

All staff within Cathedral Care Home were excellent whilst my husband was in their care. Although he was only there for a relatively short time frame, he was welcomed into the family atmosphere by all management, nursing and other staff within the facility, who accommodated his needs, and gave him the care and dignity he required. This care, help and guidance was also extended to myself and our daughter whilst visiting. I would highly recommend Cathedral Care Home.

Last but no means least, Julie the cleaner. When I first met Julie I thought she was part of the management team, she was that good and supportive. It shows the caring mentality running throughout the team.

I am fully confident she is being cared and looked after in the best possible way.

One word 'OUTSTANDING'

During mum's stay at this home she enjoyed taking part in a range of activities, was encouraged to make new friends and received very good personal care. I respected the kindness demonstrated by various staff members throughout the last few months however the one to one care, overwhelming compassion and gentle approach shown to mum and my family during mum's final week was outstanding. There were several individuals who went over and above their job description, showing such sensitivity to ensure that mum maintained her dignity right to the end. Thank you!

We had to place my mum in care last June - having experienced a dreadful care home in the past for my father, I was dreading it. However Cathedral Care Centre is not like any care home I've ever come across. Firstly mum's room is beautiful and large with a lovely big window - comfy armchair and TV provided. The meals are amazing plus all the daily treats that come around. The activities have been carefully selected taking in account each residents hobbies and interests. My mum is crazy about Elvis - so they regularly have an Elvis impersonator come in and put on a show - to see my mum dancing and singing along is so heartwarming. Mum has her hair and nails done regularly- she is always clean and fresh and wearing all her own clothes (that wasn't the case where my dad was). The staff are so warm and friendly and nothing is too much to ask. Living in New Zealand, I get to see lots of posts on social media - my friend regularly visits mum and says she could move in herself!

Thank you to all the amazing staff that help her have a safe and as normal a life as possible and enable her to retain her dignity. She's always clean, nicely dressed and other than the confusion dementia brings, she hasn't looked as well in years.

It is always a pleasure visiting my friend at the Cathedral Care Centre, I am always made to feel very welcome. The care that is shown towards the residents by staff is wonderful and first class. The food and entertainment provided are also excellent. I would definitely recommend this care home.

Mum has been here for over a month now. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are lovely, very friendly, caring and helpful. We couldn't wish for a better place for our mum. We always feel welcome when we go to visit. They certainly take time for our mum and us. Lovely place can highly recommend it.

The team at the home is so kind, patient, and supportive of my Dad - three years on from my last review the standard of care is still excellent, the food is great and the home is clean and welcoming. They have shown endless patience and kindness with Dad. The team is always very friendly, on hand, and happy to see relatives when we arrive. The strong ethos of care, kindness, and respect for residents is manifest and prevails throughout the entire organisation. Thank you so much!

I would highly recommend this Home to people.

Throughout all of her time at CCC, Mum has been well looked after. The staff are genuinely caring and relate well to residents. All the staff from the manager to on-site maintenance work as a team to ensure residents are well cared for. The new manager (Jan 24) is also providing a big asset.

Many, many thanks.

Big shout out to the activity staff, proving great emotional and physical support.

I was taken there by ambulance after a breakdown and stroke on Thursday 30th of March this year. I was unconscious. Recovered my facilities and settled in for a new there in room 7. Very nice room overlooking the central lawn, in view of the national flag and look after the bird feeder and the squirrels!

I came into the Cathedral Care Centre after a trip at home, I'm currently on respite care, the staff made me feel welcome the moment I was greeted at the front door. The home is warm and friendly. My stay in one word 'Lovely' and the staff are doing a fantastic job, not just for me but everyone. I am a vegan and the kitchen staff ensure my diet is followed, I was at the Cathedral for their Halloween party, there was plenty of food for me to eat, the staff joined in and it was one big happy party. I found the cooking club to be fun with plenty of laughing with other residents. I have been studying natural health all my adult life, I have written a book called 'Powerful Cancer Fighting-Foods' staff will sit with me talking about my book, listening to my stories, it is lovely that they are interested in my writing and take time to spend time with me. I just wish I could be here for Christmas, but my respite care would have ended and I will be back at home.

I would like to say that the manager and the staff at this care home have been excellent in all they provide, my husband who has dementia has had respite in December 2021 and is currently there now. He is happy there and thank you for all the care and more you do.

My dad is currently having respite here and this will be his second visit. My dad has Alzheimer’s, the manager of Cathedral Court Centre is lovely along with the other staff, other residents and all the care, food, services they provide, all of this is really good. The building and its rooms are perfect and my dad is happy here, the food is good. The staff are really nice and I think the manager does an amazing job. Inside it is clean, nicely decorated and you get the instant home from home feel. It is well organised and very friendly. I cannot fault this home. They tailor the care and support for each and every person. I would recommend this home with no hesitation and feel it provides an excellent service all-round.
