We moved Mum into The Abbeys for respite care when our Dad was at end-of-life care in a hospice. This was a challenging time for us as a family and knowing Mum was safe and well looked after was a huge support. Mum then took the decision to stay and has been settled and happy. The staff are what makes this a very special place. They took the time to get to know Mum and involve her in activities and outings. We would highly recommend this care home. It is never easy making this sort of decision but we feel our mum has thrived with the high quality of care of such dedicated professionals.
What a wonderful review - thank you so much for making our entire team smile. It is an absolute honour to care for your Mum and we're so happy that she's settled and enjoying our weekly adventures in our shared home community. We are delighted to see how she's thrived and we're here to continue to...
My dad has lived at The Abbeys for almost 12 months. He has a nice room and is really looked after and safe. The nursing staff, carers, cooks and domestic staff are all very friendly and dad is really settled after living independently all his adult life. The staff really helped him through his settling-in period. Dad now considers The Abbeys his home. There are various activities every week. The lady who organises things works really hard to stay relevant. Sometimes Dad goes on special trips and they even take him fishing from time to time. As a family, we are confident that Dad is getting the best out of life here. We certainly don't have the constant stress and worry of wondering if he's ok. Thank you to The Abbeys.
Thank you so much for these kind words. All our team are amazing at The Abbeys and they do go above and beyond for our lovely residents.
My auntie was only at The Abbeys a few months before her death at 99 years old. The care given to her was respectful and loving, she was a quiet lady and they understood that. The staff also looked after the family when we visited Auntie. The day Auntie passed away the staff looked after Auntie and the family with love and dignity. I would recommend The Abbeys if you are looking for care for a loved one.
My father who has dementia moved into The Abbeys Care Home three weeks ago and he was very distressed and unhappy to have to go. My visit to him today found him to be very relaxed, looking very well, and much more settled. The staff are very helpful and are willing to answer any questions and seem to care a lot about the residents' welfare.
Fantastic respite care for my step-dad. Thank you so much.
The staff at The Abbeys are second to none, each and every one of them demonstrates such care, consideration, humility and genuine dedication to each resident. I am very very lucky and grateful that I chose The Abbeys to take care of her. This lace deserves every accolade possible, the whole staff are absolutely first-class.
What such lovely words. Thank you so much for the feedback. I am so lucky to have amazing staff and they really do go above and beyond
I’d like to thank the amazing staff, everyone from the bottom to the top are amazing every day and evening always happy always friendly and most of all caring. The time and effort that must go into The Abbeys Care Home being the so smartly presented and fun-loving place it is deserves recognition to every staff member you are all so amazing. Thanks for the life you all give our families.
Thank you for such wonderful feedback about your positive experience at The Abbeys. We are proud of our amazing shared community here and we will pass on your comments to our valued team.
Very helpful, kind staff. Professional with residents at all times. Excellent all-around care.
Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words.
I always feel guilty when I leave her, but the staff are amazing with her. Knowing my mum is happy and looked after whilst I'm away is a godsend for me, and I settle knowing this.
Many thanks to all the care staff.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - we are delighted to hear you felt comfortable leaving your mum in our care whilst you and your husband went away. We will pass on your kind words to the team.
A massive thank you to the staff at Abbeys Nursing Home for the care they provided for my mum who sadly passed away recently. I felt at ease after each visit to the home knowing that my mum was safe and being well looked after by the amazing staff. The staff are so friendly and really do care. The home provides excellent entertainment and activities for the residents who enjoy being involved. I simply could not recommend a better nursing home.
Thank you so much for your review, we will pass on your kind words to all of our staff.
My mum has been in The Abbeys Care Home for a month now and is now permanent, it has made our lives so much better knowing she is receiving excellent care. The staff are all so caring and the food is amazing, all the staff from the bosses to the cleaners and laundry staff are brilliant. I would definitely recommend this home.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I will pass this on to all staff.
The care home has a welcoming and homely feel, the cleanliness is at a high standard, it always smells clean. The staff are friendly and supportive, they have recently had a few events on for the residents such as singers and coffee mornings etc... I think it’s lovely that they do these on a regular basis, it’s nice to socialise with other residents and their families.
Very caring, happy staff who always have time for the residents and relatives. The Christmas activities were truly special for the residents and visitors. The staff go the extra mile, whatever their job. Many thanks to all the staff.
The staff are amazing, so generous, caring and thoughtful and always have time for residents and visitors. They have always kept us fully updated with anything to do with our Mum, but most importantly, our Mum is settled, happy and we know well cared for, we can't ask for more!
Thank you for your very kind review, it is our pleasure to care for your mum. I will pass on your lovely comments to our staff.
Always a warm welcome from all staff at The Abbeys Care Home. Mum has been a resident here for many years and has always been very well looked after. Staff go above and beyond in their duty of care to Mum. We are kept well informed about mum's care and staff are always more than happy to answer any questions we may have. The Abbeys has a friendly and warm atmosphere and the staff are a credit to the company.
Thank you so much for your kind review, it is a pleasure to care for your mum, she is a delightful lady.
I must say that when my mother was diagnosed with onset dementia and that she would no longer be able to remain at home, this was the hardest time for us, having to place Mam in to a residential home, but thanks to the home and the care from the brilliant staff, they have made Mam so welcome and she is so settled and well cared for. They don't only think about the resident, they also include family and are always there. Staff are very pleasant, polite and welcoming when we visit. Once again, staff at The Abbeys, well done gang, keep up the great work. Many, many thanks for the care that you give my mam and other residents.
Thank you so much for your kind review, I will be sure to pass on your lovely comments to our staff.
What an amazing care home. The new manager of the home and the staff go above and beyond to help the residents. The home feels warm and welcoming with the new decor she has introduced to the home. It feels comforting knowing my relative is in a loving environment, which they now call their home. Thank you, to everyone at The Abbeys - you all should feel really proud.
My sister has not been here very long. However, all staff are very helpful ad very kind. My sister looks good, and we are happy with the home.
It's so lovely to see her so happy and smiling.
My mum was admitted for full-time care. I cannot praise the staff enough for their care and kindness towards Mum. The staff are always keeping us informed of her progress.

I’m Jamie, Manager at The Abbeys care home in Rotherham, and I've been in the care sector for more than 15 years. For me, one of the biggest keys to providing amazing care is communication.

We know that being part of our residents' lives is a real privilege. We make sure they have good, nutritious food in a happy and positive environment with plenty of fun activities, entertainment, and events to look forward to!

I'm Colette, Senior Carer at The Abbeys care home in Rotherham, and I've been here for more than 20 years. I joined in 2002, thinking it would be short work experience before university, but I soon realised I'd found somewhere that truly connected to my purpose. I've worked my way up to senior and love the community here at The Abbeys. I enjoy embracing new skills and practices and seeing our team and residents thrive.
