My dad has been in Conifers since Jan 2024! We as a family are delighted with the care he receives. Conifers provides many different opportunities for us as a family to continue to make memories with Dad! Dad always seems happy, content and cared for!
Thank you for taking the time to review this lovely review, we really appreciate it
What makes this home so special is that they see him as a person, not just a resident. They have taken the time to get to know his personality, his interests, and what brings him joy. They actively encourage and support his love of birds of prey, enjoy taking him on walks, and make opportunities for him to eat out-activities that mean so much to him and help him maintain a sense of purpose and enjoyment.
The kindness, compassion, and genuine interest they show him every day give me enormous peace of mind. Knowing he is cared for by people who truly value him as an individual is something I will always be grateful for.
Thank you to everyone at the home

There is constant laughter and always something happening. One resident was giving Ballroom lessons to all the staff. He was in his element.
I always leave here with reassurance and a full heart knowing my very poorly brother in law is respected and cared for by the most incredible team.
Thank you for your kind words, we are very grateful of you taking the time to write this review
I am so happy with the care my mum is getting all the staff are like one big happy family my mum has very challenging behavior and they treat her with the greatest respect and dignity. I would highly recommend the Conifers to anyone who has family that needs care. When I visit my mum and then go home I can sleep knowing she is safe and cared for so once again a very big thank you.
Thank you very much for your review, we appreciate your support.
It's reassuring to go and see my son in this care home. He seems very settled and the staff are very good and caring. They are always busy, but always have time to talk to you about my son. They always have a smile on their faces, however busy. I honestly don't know how they cope as there are a lot of residents, but nothing is too much trouble. They are a credit to the Conifers, they really are, because it's not an easy job.
Thank you so much for your kind words and also for your support, it really does mean a lot to us.
Working as a nurse myself in the NHS. I’ve seen the impact that quality staff can have on a patient and I truly believe that Conifers has quality staff, from the the accounts administrator, to the care team, activity coordinator through to the manager, who has taken my calls, answered numerous questions, reassured me and most importantly listened. I have witnessed them going that extra mile, knowing that your loved one is in an environment where the caring team, truly care is priceless. Many thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you so much Lisa your support and kind words are appreciated.
My father has been at the Conifers since 2021. I have been very happy with his care. The home is well staffed and I have found the staff to be friendly, kind and very interactive with their residents. My father has particularly enjoyed time spent in the garden and musical entertainments. The manager always responds to queries quickly and efficiently.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your support.
The home is well-run and the staff care for all residents.
Communication between Conifers and families is excellent.
Any concerns or queries are dealt with in a timely manner.
Thank you, Gemma, for taking the time to leave this review. I will ensure that all the staff get to read your kind words so they know how you feel about the care that they give Dad. It does mean so much to my staff to receive such lovely feedback. Again, thank you for your kind and thoughtful words.
