Review from Victoria B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 4 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Although my grandmother doesn't have in site into her care needs and at first was apprehensive about moving into a care home, she has been made very welcome by the exceptional friendliness of all of the staff. From care staff to activities to kitchen, each member of staff demonstrates dedication and an interest into making sure that all of her care needs are met on a day to day basis.

Review from G D (Sister of Resident) published on 5 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My brother spent his final days here being cared for excellently by the manager and all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, they went over the way to help and offer extra help when asked for, it took away some of the pressure from the family. We were offered meals for ourselves as we had a good distance to visit our brother, was truly a home from home. Excellent.

Review from Fraser W (Son of Resident) published on 8 August 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father spent the last 6 months of his life at Blyth Country Care Home and while his sad and inevitable deterioration was difficult the staff could not have worked harder or been more caring during this difficult period.
I have no hesitation in recommending Blyth Country Care Home to other families with a loved one who needs 24 / 7 care.
Father's GP stated that his care had been 'exemplary', a comment that I agree with 100%.
I will always be grateful for the kindness and unfailing cheerfulness of the staff, often in trying circumstances.
Thank you.

A nice homely care home, in a lovely location. My friends room was comfortable. When we asked staff to attend to some of our friends needs this was done immediately. The manager was friendly and concerned for our friends welfare and care.

Review from Jennifer R (Niece of Resident) published on 16 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My auntie has been in the Blyth Country House Care Home for the past month and a half and has been looked after with the utmost care and dignity I would wish for her. All the staff are friendly, kind and very professional and have made my auntie extremely comfortable and happy. The home is clean and well maintained. As my auntie's health slowly gets worse the medical care she is receiving is excellent and very thorough. Thank you for all you are doing to make my aunty feel safe and comfortable.
