The home is clean. We are pleased with the care our loved one gets from the home. The staff are friendly and polite. It's a very nice place and we are extremely happy with the care.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, I will pass this onto our care team.
Always friendly and flexible around visits. Very informative.
I used to come and have my lunch at the Abbeys with my partner, before Covid-19. All the staff at the Abbeys are lovely and very polite. A member of staff always makes me a cup of tea and the senior carer is also great.
All staff are polite, friendly and lovely. The staff are helpful to myself and my auntie. The management and senior staff are very helpful.
Senior go out of their way to help Grandad out and when I visit he is the happiest I have seen him in years. The new home manager is excellent!
Dad came to the Abbeys for respite and settled well. Staff are very helpful and always happy to help. My worries were quickly put aside on our first visit. Dad looks better and happy. I've phoned a few times the manager is there to answer questions and supporting. Dad enjoys the food, he's happy so are we.
My brother looked for a place for his sister in May this year. My sister-in-law could no longer be cared for in her own home. It was a difficult choice for my husband but the staff made the move day smooth and gave us all the reassurance we needed. The seniors on duty were extremely helpful and gave us all the information we needed. We've visited twice and always feel welcome by all.
Great dedicated staff. My mum has improved greatly, under their care.
My aunt has settled so well in the EMI unit. The last few weeks at her home were very stressful but she has fitted into life here so well. The family are so happy she is enjoying her new home and her appetite is back - she is eating everything they give her. The staff have been amazing throughout the whole transition period. They are a credit to the Abbeys.
My mum has been in care at The Abbeys for three years. She has not been in good health. The love and care she has received have been exceptional from the staff. Although she at times, has been frustrated with her health, she has felt safe and in the knowledge that she was not alone. She loves her carers, and this made me feel peaceful, as her loved one.
I have always found The Abbeys a very caring home. My mother, who suffered from dementia, and treated at all times with kindness compassion. Staff (all) treated me very well. The accommodation first class and the food. I always recommend your facilities.
After caring for my mother-in-law for a number of years, it was a very hard decision to make, especially with not being able to go in and view any care homes. The manager was fantastic, she went out of her way to make the transition run calmly. She even rang over the weekend in her own time to check-in and reassure us that all was well.
We are now coming into our 3rd month of her being a resident of The Abbeys, and we can not thank the staff enough. They go out of their way to run events she will enjoy.
Every window visit (due to restrictions), we have smiles and lots of stories from the staff.
Thank you to all staff at The Abbeys.
Fab place, my grandparents love it.
Before arriving at The Abbeys, Mum was subdued and unsettled. I am delighted to say that she now presents as happy, sociable and communicative - a complete transformation. From the first to the most recent contact with all of the staff at The Abbeys, I have been greeted and treated as if I belonged, and this has been extremely reassuring. I cannot compliment the staff at The Abbeys highly enough for the wonderful job they are doing and the consequent improvement in Mum.
My mother came to The Abbeys needing respite care after a fall at home. Mum had been very poorly and after a stay in the hospital; she was very withdrawn. As soon as she arrived at The Abbeys, she was greeted by very professional, caring and friendly staff. After a few days, she was a completely different person. She expressed how happy she was and enjoyed mixing in the communal lounge, and the change in her was amazing. I cannot thank the staff enough for their wonderful care and attention; the family are very grateful.
Thank you for your kind words, we look forward to you visiting and enjoying a drink within the home when lockdown ends.
Every effort has been made to deal with deafness, sight and mobility problems. Care is excellent and a stroke was rapidly dealt with meaning maximum recovery possibilities. Carers and manager have been patient and understanding to overcome certain personality difficulties despite her resistance and the unusualness of her background. I recommend anyone seeking a really caring creative team. The home has dealt with the Covid-19 crisis very well and kept residents safe despite serious problems.
Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to inviting you back into The Abbeys.
The home is welcoming, from the moment you enter. The atmosphere is inviting. The staff are helpful and friendly. The manager is kind and very caring. The manager is always willing to listen and very approachable.
He was very lonely and hardly spoke to anyone in person during the week, now it's like he has a whole new family.
When we speak to him, he talks about all his new friends and the activities they do during the day.
He says he doesn't even miss the pub as they have a pub night and he gets to have a beer!
The staff have always been friendly and have always kept us informed. Nothing is too much for the staff and management.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are really pleased your brother-in-law is enjoying his time at The Abbeys. We would love for you to come and enjoy a drink with us when we are able to accept visitors again.
All staff are friendly and caring, my friend is very happy in the home and the staff let me talk to him via phone and video calls, throughout covid lockdown. My friend's food is lovely and the home also got a pool table for residents to use.
Thank you for your kind words, we would love to see you enjoy the pool table when our home is open again after Covid19.
Greeted with a smile, such a warm atmosphere when we visit. The staff are very polite and helpful. My friend looks happy and tells me she enjoys her days. I cannot wish for better. I am so glad she's found a warm home which is caring and at such a difficult time too. Well done to the staff.
Thank you for your wonderful review. Take care and stay safe.

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. I make sure that our community thrives by building authentic relationships with colleagues, care partners, residents, and their loved ones. 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.
