All in all, I have found Guide Lane Care Home a very caring place for my friend to live in. The staff genuinely care about the residents; they are always really friendly with them and try to make their life here the best it can be. There is entertainment going on every month: singers, magic shows, pet therapy, armchair exercise. Also, different activities run by a member of staff. The food is excellent with plenty of choice. The cleaning team do an excellent job; the rooms are always clean and tidy. The office staff are helpful if you have any queries.
Guide Lane Care Home is friendly and welcoming. Staff and management are caring and helpful. Have told my family and friends that if a care home is needed. I would fully recommend Guide Lane. Nothing is too much trouble for carers who really love the residents.

My mum has been in for a few weeks and she is very settled because of the excellent care and support from all staff. The nurses are brilliant at pain management which has kept her comfortable and able to enjoy the days in her life. Nothing is too much trouble; her dietary needs have been catered for so she can enjoy the food and, when required, the cooks make sure she does not miss out. All areas are spotlessly clean, her room is always immaculate and the entertainment and activities are bringing great pleasure. It is a very special place.
I have a lot of experience of Guide Lane Care Home, and found it has vastly improved under the current management. The staff, many who have been here a number of years are attentive and caring. Therefor I have no hesitation in recommending this facility.

I am the daughter of one of the residents. I am in awe of the service that my mum receives from the care home. All her needs are met, even encouragement from the staff when mum is feeling down. The food choice from the kitchen is exemplary, and my mum and other residents can change their choice if what is offered is not to their liking. The entertainment activities are always ongoing with a variety of crafts and singers etc. I wouldn't have my mum anywhere else.
I love visiting my grandma, there is always something going on etc. Crafts, artists and learning baking skills. My grandma is well looked after.
