My mum moved into Church House at the end of March. We picked it due to the warmth of the welcome, the lovely staff and views from local people. We have not been disappointed! Lots of very caring touches from day one e.g. her light shades put up in her room as a lovely surprise whilst having lunch, her photo on door surrounded by her favourite colour and being made welcome as family and to feel part of mum's life there. Any queries dealt with and good communication. Thanks so much to all your lovely, caring staff!

My brother has been a resident at Church House for several months after being taken there following discharge from hospital. Prior to being in hospital, he has been a resident at another care home and did not like it at all. On visiting him at Church House, I have found him much happier than before. The staff at Church House are exceptional at caring for and keeping residents happy, always welling to oblige any requests. All of the staff are very kind but one nurse in particular stands out with her kindness. I'm sure residents at Church House will know who I mean and I wish I could name her.

Mum has been a resident of Church House for 22 months now. Mum has slowly declined and recently I have had to apply for NHS funding. Church House, two members of staff in particular have been brilliant in assisting and supporting me through the progress, both going over and above their statutory duties. Mum has been treated with care and support during her tenure. All the staff have been absolutely brilliant, nothing too much trouble, and happy to answer my questions regarding Mum. Thank you.

My mother was a resident of Church House Care Home for eight months until she sadly passed away this year. Mum had been happy and content at Church House. I am so pleased with how all the staff cared for Mu so well right up until the end, I can't thank them enough for all that they did. I would happily recommend Church House, it is a lovely environment for residents with nice bedrooms and a nice, large lounge where regular activities help to entertain everyone.

To who this may concern,
I wanted to put down in writing, my sincerest gratitude possible to the staff at Church House in Nantwich especially the nurse.
Every time I visited my grandad not only could I see he was being cared for in a fantastic manner, but also I was made to feel welcome each time.
Little things like an offer of a drink or the nurse's head popping round the door to say Hi, is everything ok.
Finally, I want to say when I left, just before I went through the door, the nurse gave me a big hug. Now it’s a very small thing but it was perfect timing as I really did need that and I am also so grateful for it.

I have been here five years at Church House Care Home. It still is a good place to be in.
I have a lovely bedroom to sleep in. Good food, a nice lounge to watch the television and to play bingo there.

I could not have hoped for a higher standard of care for my mother in the last three months of her life. She was given dignity, compassion and respect. When I visited her, I encountered professionalism and politeness from the staff at every level. All my questions were answered honestly and openly. I was kept fully informed of the situation at all times. Covid regulations were strictly adhered to, and the safety of all residents was of utmost importance to the staff. My mother got on well with all the staff and felt that she was being listened to and her requests and needs fulfilled.
Thank you again, Church House Nursing Home.

The staff are brilliant and work hard to please. The activities coordinator is amazing, she is such a wonderful lady, helping out and organising events and things to do - absolutely brilliant.
Management not so good, need to be around talking to families and solving any problems or issues.
