Davenham Hall Nursing Home

My mum is in the Barns part of Davenham Hall, a separate unit for dementia. Very welcoming and friendly. Qualified nursing staff. Nice food. Plenty of activities scheduled although my mum doesn't participate. She is well looked after and I trust the staff. Rooms are spacious with good furniture. Always warm inside. Security is good for access and exit.

All the staff and residents at Davenham Hall greeted us kindly. Everyone was thoughtful, considerate and understanding, despite my mum being there for such a short time. In our hour of need, absolutely everything possible was done by nurses and staff to make my mum's last days comfortable. We thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts for this. It has made the world of difference to us as a family.

We can't thank the staff enough for all that they did for our parents, they should be so proud of what they are achieving at Davenham.

My aunt has been here for 2 years and all staff are friendly and caring and as been well cared for. They will let you know as soon as there are any problems and inform the doctor as soon as possible. can't praise the home enough.

My wife has now been a resident of the barns for nearly 12 months. She continues to be very well cared for and remains very contented within herself. I cannot speak highly enough about the staff, who are very attentive and caring. I am particularly impressed with the daily activities and entertainment that are arranged for the patients, which enables a happy atmosphere to prevail.

Dad has been in the Barns at Davenham Hall for just over a year now. He has not been the easiest of residents, but the staff have always been very patient with him. The last month dad has been nursed in bed they have all been very caring. Staff are friendly and they work really hard.

We are very pleased with the standard of care provided by The Barns. The staff are very caring, helpful and patient with the residents and will always answer any queries we may have. The care home is very clean as is mum's room. We are very impressed with the activities and entertainment provided for the residents. We would definitely recommend The Barns to anyone who was looking for a care/nursing home.

The staff are all very cheerful, caring and patient, the atmosphere is of one big family, not residents and carers. My Dad is treated with great respect and dignity, which is very reassuring for me. The building is a lovely place, well cared for and full of character.

All the staff speak to me, cleaners, laundry, clerical, care staff all say "hello", include me in any social activities, and give me numerous cups of tea. My friend came into palliative care in September and was not expected to see Christmas its now New Year. I stay with my friend during treatment (have lived in with him for 7 months as a voluntary carer) and staff listen to him and take his concerns seriously. He seems as happy as possible under circumstances. I would be happy as a resident if needed to.

I found the home to be very clean and homely. The staff are all really lovely and look after mum very well.

The care given to Mum is excellent. She often says she is very well looked after. There is a homely feel at Davenham Hall and the staff have taken the time to get to know Mum and to understand her needs.

My mother was admitted on 22/5/24 for CHC care on a permanent basis. Overall standard is good and she is quietly content after settling in. She has lived at home all her life and we were apprehensive to see how she would take to being in a home. Staff are polite and seem very competent with no major issues so far and overall our family are happy she is being looked after with the best care possible.

I am really happy with the level of care dad receives at Davenham Hall. Dad is happy and settled, he enjoys the activities very much. The staff are all really friendly and caring. It is so good to know that he is being looked after so well in such a safe and happy environment.

We have been delighted with the care support and reassurance given to us by both the manager and all the staff as my mother-in-law makes the transition from living independently to living in a residential home. They have done everything to help her settle in and it is a huge relief to us that she is in such a lovely environment and is safe and being well looked after.

We are delighted that our aunt is now living at Davenham Hall. All the staff are pleasant and caring, allowing us to relax and know that our elderly relative is in safe hands. A recent fall was dealt with quickly and appropriately with all communication and updates in a timely manner. Would certainly recommend this facility to anyone looking for care for a friend or relative. The house and grounds are delightful and well maintained which adds to the overall atmosphere of calm.

Since Mum moved into The Barns I have felt so satisfied with the care given by the staff and the atmosphere in the home. It is such a friendly relaxed atmosphere yet the residents are still getting the care they need. Dementia is so difficult to experience but the staff always go that little bit extra to make each resident feel valued and special. Although I am under no illusion that my Mum will recover, it gives me peace of mind that she will receive the best care possible while she remains at the home.

The staff are lovely, caring and patient with the residents. They have frequent activities on and get the residents engaged/participating. The food is very appetizing and homemade and varied which is great.

Very happy with the care provided by the staff at Davenham Hall. They were very accommodating when Dad needed urgent respite care in December 2023 and, given how well Dad has now settled, the stay has become permanent. There were a few bumps in the road initially, but they were dealt with swiftly and professionally, with Dad's safety at the centre of all decisions. Dad previously had a brief stay at Davenham Hall many years ago and I was very pleasantly surprised by the number of staff still there (and who all remembered Dad which was really nice). The facilities (bedrooms, lounges, dining room) are excellent, the food seems good and the activities great fun. All the staff are helpful and seem to really care. Dad is the second relative of mine to have care at Davenham Hall. My aunt was admitted a few years back and it turned out to be end-of-life care - she was treated with dignity and the situation was handled sympathetically.

Medical issues are identified quickly and GP visits are arranged as necessary. Nurses keep us advised of issues.

A well-recommended care home.
