Pleased with mum's health care. The carers are very good at their job, but they are very stretched with their time to have a few minutes to have time with them but they do their best. Have had problems with her clothing not wearing new clothes that we have bought.

It was a really good visit today, mum was in high spirits and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed. I had dinner with mum today and the was up to the usual high standards and cooked from scratch and was absolutely delicious, as was tea later in the afternoon.

We couldn't have wished for a better place for my wife to spend her last few weeks of her life. The staff had so much love and care for my wife.
The staff gave me and my family all the support from the day my wife came to Sycamore's.

In my opinion I think the staff and care are more than brilliant with the way they are taking care of my mum, they're absolutely excellent, I've noticed such a big change in my mum's care from the last care home. I can't fault any of the staff. I'm so pleased as at a few times we had a fear of our mum giving up, now since we have got mum in The Sycamore we have really got grins, smiles and kisses off our mum, it's making us feel better, noting mum's care is to the best ever, knowing mum seems to be more content now and that's absolutely brilliant. Thank you deeply to all the staff at The Sycamore I hope I get this care, and staff bless them all, brilliant work.
Under difficult circumstances we had to place my father-in-law in a care home, immediately we were made to feel we had chosen the right home, he was made welcome and comfortable. The staff were checking he was all right constantly and provided excellent care, this included every staff member, he...
When he needed extra medical care this was arranged without hesitation, the staff were compassionate when we lost him and helped and took some of the pressure off us.
Throughout my father's stay he was treated with the greatest of respect. The team go beyond what I thought would have been the standard. The care and compassion was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble.

On visiting a friend and neighbour. I was greeted very warmly and shown to my friends room at once. Even though my friend was sleeping I was offered tea and biscuits, as she woke the carer made her comfortable and offered her tea etc. I thought the Sycamores was a very hospitable and caring home, clean, warm and active.
My husband came to stay for respite. The staff were very friendly and the manager helped me understand everything. I was so tired I needed a break.

I have no issues with my mother staying here. I cannot fault the place, staff are nice, I am sure management would manage any issues I have, however I've had none. Very clean and mother likes the food.

I joined Springcare in June 2024 as the Manager for Sycamore and Poplars Care Home. With over 18 years of experience in the NHS and social care industry, my passion for caregiving has been the driving force throughout my career. My journey began at Thames Valley University London, where I trained to be an RGN. I have held various roles including RGN, Clinical Lead, Deputy Manager, and Home Manager, each contributing to my deep commitment to providing exceptional care.
Living with my grandmother during her last five years and participating in her care profoundly enriched my dedication to the field. Making a positive difference has always been my motto and motivation. I embrace the challenges in my career as they inspire me to grow and improve continually. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and enjoy cooking. I participate in marathons to raise funds for worthy causes, combining my love for fitness with philanthropy. To unwind, I delight in reading a good old-fashioned hardcover book.
