Symphony House Reviews (47)
Symphony House has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10, based on 11 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Symphony House has 47 reviews.
I could not have had better care. The staff were excellent - caring, patient and compassionate and the manager went out of his way to make sure the patients were happy.
A lot of the staff had been there for years (always a good sign) and the manager more than 20 years.
As far as I know no agency workers were employed (who would usually not have the commitment that the permanent staff have)
I would recommend this nursing home without hesitation.
Look at all the 5* reviews on this site. That speaks volumes of this nursing home.
I cannot thank Darren and the team at Symphony enough. Dad had a short stay here for palliative, end of life care. The compassion and care that dad received has been above and beyond. The home has a real family vibe and being smaller than most nursing homes, you get to know the team and vice versa. The manager Darren is very experienced and his guidance and advice were extremely well received. I always received an update when I walked in every day as to how dad had been overnight. A real personal touch makes Symphony stand miles ahead of the bigger corporations. Forever grateful. Thank you.
The staff were warm, attentive and professional. There was always a positive atmosphere and a natural feel. The fact that you could visit at any time unannounced created a really down to earth, family vibe. My Dad actually thoroughly enjoyed the food, constantly saying that the chef was splendid! Lots of effort was put into activities, particularly around times like Christmas, but also the VE events. Above all, it felt that every resident was known by the management, where a number of staff have worked for a long time. Darren, the manager, was noticeably visible and hands-on. This is a simple, but caring environment, which I would recommend.
When my husband was transferred from hospital to Symphony the discharge nurse said "it's not Buckingham Palace but he will get wonderful care". How right she was. The staff treated him with great respect and understanding of his individual likes and dislikes. To them it was not just a job, they put their heart and soul into it. Their warm and welcoming attitude was commented on by all his visitors. The lead comes from the top, Darren, the Manager, is exemplary. Really hands on, not just behind the desk. It was so helpful to be able to discuss any concerns with him. He and the team do their utmost to make it a home for everyone. They put a great deal into events to vary the days often involving much decoration. In the summer it was a delight to sit in the courtyard shaded by colourful hanging baskets and trellises, on one occasion Sofia serenaded my husband there by singing "I've only got eyes for you" . That brought tears to our eyes. Thank you to you all.
The care he receives is truly wonderful. The staff are not only professional, but loving and kind. They treat him with respect and dignity, always making him feel like part of a family. The manager, Darren, is outstanding-his genuine care for both residents and their families shines through in everything he does. He often says, "This is everyone's home," and it really does feel that way.
Special occasions are celebrated beautifully, for our 40th wedding anniversary, which was amazing. Symphony Care has given me peace of mind, knowing my husband is surrounded by kindness, compassion, and love every single day. I am forever grateful.
BIG THANK YOU

Thank you for providing a review and feedback regarding your father's care at our home. He is certainly more contented and settled since arriving at the home. His medical and care needs have been stabilised which as you know had been quite challenging and unpredictable. We are pleased that he is...
Cannot complain at all staff are so friendly and welcoming, very homely place with a beautiful garden. I'm very grateful to everyone caring for my grandfather nothing is too much and the way they care for family members too- thank you so much! Definitely recommend sometimes it can be hard knowing if you did the right thing but we dont regret it.
Thank you for providing the lovely review and sending the thank you card for the staff. We know it has been a very difficult time for you all with your grandfather being so poorly. We are sure that he was more comfortable and settled because of the love and support of you all. We hope that you have special memories to help comfort you in his loss.
I myself feel that I can relax knowing she is cared for. The staff are permanent and they do not use agency staff.
I pop in everyday to see my mum and help feed as needed ,there are no restrictions on visiting which is great as some homes do have time restrictions.
The manager and his staff do a fantastic job which can be challenging at times.
They are an amazing team and they all manage to make it feel like a proper home from home. Well done to you all.
Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review of our home and for the staff. I will make sure that it is passed onto to all the team. We knew when Mum arrived at Symphony that she was very frail, weak and poorly. With your support, care and her own determination she has battled through...
My beloved sister spent 16 months with Symphony and I cannot speak too highly of the care, compassion and medical treatment she received: she died last month. Suffered from a rare neurological disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy which robbed her of everything. Prior to Symphony my sister was looked after at home with carers but the disease progressed quickly and 24 hour care was required. I compliment and thank both management and staff for their professionalism and care
Thank you for providing a lovely review of our home and I will make sure it is passed onto the staff. We are thankful also for being able to share some special moments with you and your sister - many with fun and tears of laughter - with the help of Mr C and of course the welly song. We are sure...
Our family has found the home to be extremely caring and very attentive to our mums needs and wants. Mum could be challenging and fiesty with her words and actions with the staff. They always treated her with dignity and respect. They spent time building a theraputic relationship and supporting her with the choices she made. We would not hesitate recommending Symphony House. They go out of their way to help and nurture their residents. 10 out of 10.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home and care provided for your mum. When mum arrived at the home over two years ago we remember that she was very weak and poorly. She was totally dependent upon the nurses and carers to anticioate and provide for all her needs. Over time with...
The home manager visited my dad in the hospital and met with his hospital team a number of times and put together an excellent solution.
The staff are caring, knowledgeable, and helpful: I find I can ask any of them for help and they will do their best to support.
My dad is safe, well cared for and, given the situation he finds himself in, as happy as he could be.
I knew nothing of nursing care, both the practical and the organisational side, so being introduced to the manager and the Symphony team has been a godsend.
Thank you Symphony.
Thank you for the review and feedback regarding your father's care at our home. He does now appear to be more settled and we have managed to stabilise most of his medical and care needs - which as you know have been challenging and very unpredictable. He is now interacting more and he certainly is happy and contented with his room, the staff, and being at Symphony.
Symphony House Care Home is a family for the elderly. Serving with love and compassion. Fostering a communal and loving environment bringing healing to the mind and body. The manager could be classed as a modern-day saint. He cares and loves all those in his care, goes above and beyond the call of duty. The care home staff too care for their older family members. Highly recommended for those wanting quality, and loving care for their older family members.
Thank you for your lovely review of our home. We know Mum became very happy here and over time we could also see that she began to enjoy company, was comfortable and contented. We also know how important your calls, visits and video calls were for her - loving her family. We were fortunate to be...
From the very first assessment of Dad in hospital the manager of the home showed warmth and kindness, knowledge and expertise in Dad's needs and was very reassuring of our concerns. The care Dad has had and is receiving in the home is exemplary. Every member of staff from the nurses, carers, cleaners to the cook and handyman - all interact with my Dad with kindness and with us as a family. We know every member of staff and they know all of us - they are all very supportive and caring.
We are invited to participate in events such as Christmas, Halloween, Chinese New Year, Valentine's lunch as well as bingo, beetle drives, and sing-a-longs. We are still making treasured happy new memories together as a family.
It is truly a very special place.
Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review of our home and for the staff. We all know how poorly your Dad has been and that each day can be different for both him and yourselves. It has always been very obvious to see and feel the care and love you all share together. We are always...
We never wanted Dad to go into a care home, but due to his nursing needs we didn’t have any other option. But, the care he receives, not only from a medical perspective but also from a love and support perspective, has blown us away.
There are always activities going on and there is a huge sense of community in the home.
Dad's condition is made more complicated due to underlying conditions and therefore he is at a higher risk. The team are very aware of this and they are very proactive in his care, ensuring that he has not had any relapses.
I honestly can’t speak more highly of the manager, nurses, care assistants, kitchen staff, cleaners and the caretaker; they are all wonderful.
Thank you for completing a lovely review about our home and the staff. We can all see and understand the impact of the sudden changes in your dad's abilities due to his condition. What is also very obvious is the love, care and attention he receives from you and all his family every day. I believe...
It was our mum's wish, and that of our family, that she would see her days out in her own home, but Symphony House has provide to be an excellent alternative.
My father has been staying at Symphony House for just over a year now, and over the course of the year, he has received outstanding care and medical attention. He has a good relationship with the staff, as do we, and nothing is too much trouble; they are always willing to help. We have every confidence in Symphony House and its management and staff.
Dad could not have been looked after better, and I really appreciate all the care you gave him.
It has been a difficult time for me, but it was made much easier knowing Dad has been in the best of hands with everything he needed. That made such a difference to me.
Once again, thank you all; I hope you all realise how invaluable you all are and what a difference you make to people's lives by doing what you do.
I hope you will continue to think of Dad, especially when you hear the words cup of tea or piece of cake.
With kindest regards always.
Symphony House has provided excellent care to my mother since she moved in, in 2020. She was admitted with pressure ulcers and the debilitating effects of Covid acquired in the acute hospital. Symphony House has healed her pressure ulcers, reduced her pain and prevented further occurrences of skin breakdown. In addition to the physical care, she is treated like "one of the family.
The manager and his team have and are superb in what has been a very difficult time. A big thank you for all their care and attention to my brother.
From the very first day, my husband was treated with excellent care and attention by all of the staff the entire time he was in Symphony House. My son's and I were always made to feel welcome on our visits, and we could see by my husband's response to the staff that he was happy to see them.
