I have been visiting a dear friend since April 2017. The location of the home is perfect and the staff are always very helpful and could not do more to make visitors welcome. Best to leave messages and get updates from the main admin staff - not easy to speak to the residents by phone. A very safe and secure environment - keep it up!

The staff are all friendly and approachable and are also caring and helpful. The home, although a little dated in its appearance, is clean and comfortable. We are very satisfied with all that the home provides.

Blyth Country House takes pride in its Grade II listed Georgian House, modern extension wing and the high standard of clinical and care services throughout. It is not a large modern purpose built building throughout and therefore retains its warm, cosy and homely feel. Our heritage building is also set in two acres of natural gardens with a maintained lawn which contributes to the atmosphere which many resident, relatives and staff enjoy, attracting natural life that can be viewed from the bedrooms, lounges and dining room.

The staff there are committed to every resident in there, adapting to all of their individual needs, making it a happy and positive environment to be in. Daily activities and entertainment are provided by a coordinator, who encourages all residents to engage and take part in quizzes, bingo and games which increase and boosts the morale of the home's community and social interaction between staff, residents and visitors.

The administrator came and showed us a curry menu which was for Tuesday, four choices when he would be personally cooking.

I am so glad my cousin is here. The physio is working with her and she is eating normally after a year on a peg. Well done everyone. However, new carpets are a real must for new icing on the cake.

Our priority in choosing a home for Mum was kind, attentive and caring staff who made eye contact, smiled easily, used residents' names and did not call everyone ‘sweetheart’ or ‘darling’, but sounded as if they knew them as an individual. Of all the homes we visited, the staff at Blyth were/are the best. They wore their uniforms – clean and well presented - with pride and created a great welcoming atmosphere.
We did not want Mum to vegetate in a chair, sleeping between meals. We wanted there to be activities where participation was encouraged, individual preferences accommodated, and Mum could enjoy being kept busy, using her brain without the pressure of having to remember. The programme at Blyth was so varied, engaging and enjoyable and resulted in hearing residents laughing - sadly, a rare occurrence in our experience of visiting other homes. Freshly prepared meals with menus featuring many of her favourites dishes.

And NO flutter echo, so debilitating for hearing aid wearers.

My mother has been a long term resident for 8 years. She has had fabulous care, particularly in the last 2 years. She had close bonds with the staff especially the kitchen staff whom nothing was too much trouble to tempt her to eat. She also adored her carers rejoicing in weddings and their return to work. Her closest carers were so kind and gentle even if she had her off days. It goes without saying the care was splendid if she could have survived 8 years in the home having been so poorly. Thank you so much.

The care home is well organised and the staff are excellent with my mother and father. The staff are considerate and caring and polite to visitors as I myself used to be a carer in a nursing home. The room that my mother and father are in is clean and tidy.

I would like to say what a wonderful nursing home Blyth is. The carers, the nurses, the cleaners, kitchen staff and the managers whilst my parents were at the home they were treated with dignity, respect, they were looked after very well. Towards the end of the stay I can not tell you how much they supported me with both parents. All the carers and I really can't remember all of the names but you know who you are. One particular nurse, what an asset to the home, the manager, what a wonderful lady. I would highly recommend anyone to go to this nursing home.

The nursing staff and manager gave us information about his treatment whenever asked and were able to tell us immediately how he was (night and day).
They made drinks for us when we visited and on the last day offered us meals.
