Lovely care home, amazing staff and a manager who strives for the best for those they care for. Honestly over the moon with the care, Covid has made things hard but these little things put our minds at ease about our loved ones.
Thank you for your kind words, we too think our staff are amazing.
My mum tells me that she is happy to stay which means a lot to me as it was a hard decision for me to make to place her in any home.
There is always something going off in the home with the activity coordinators taking the lead and ensuring the events are suited for all the residents.
Staff are patient and kind and have been wonderful during lockdown, the newsletter helped to stay in touch with the home and the set up of Skype was really beneficial.
All the staff are very caring and approachable at any time of the day and always have a smile for the residents and visitors, thus creating a calm and relaxed environment. All the residents appear to be treated as individuals and staff try hard to ensure that the residents' personal and social well being is met in the best way. The home is open to suggestions from relatives and residents to improve service.
Kind Regards
From visiting my brother I have observed how kind and caring the staff are. The home is very clean and tidy and unlike other homes, I have visited has no unpleasant smells. Plenty of activities. My brother says food is excellent.
Thank you so much Lynda for your wonderful review, we all really appreciate it.
My dad seems happy and relaxed since moving into the home in October 2019. Getting his medication on time has been great, improving his wellbeing.
While here at The Abbeys my family decided to make this my new home.
Pleasant and caring environment. Very helpful staff.
Thank you for your lovely words, we will always strive to give 100% to our service users and families.
Mum has been in Abbey's Care Home for 11 years, 6 years in E.M.I and 5 in residential. Very happy with Mum's care. The staff are always friendly, helpful and very caring.
Thank you so much for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
This is the second care home my mother has been in. Abbeys is a wonderful homely place with carers who adhere well to her needs. Activities and occasional entertainment are good and very welcome stimulation for my mother who is immobile and has dementia. Happy we made the move to Abbeys.
Thank you so much for your feedback. All feedback is helpful for us as a team to make changes where needed and further improve our service.
Very good...
We are so pleased that your feedback is so positive, thank you and our goal is to ensure we maintain these standards as care providers.
My experience has been on the whole positive and both parents are well cared and catered for. Staff are pleasant and helpful and do keep them clean and bathed.
Thank you for your positive feedback, we all appreciate this and aim to ensure our care delivery is maintained to a high standard.
I stayed here for one week while my daughter was on holiday. I was made very welcome by staff and residents. I was very well looked after and cared for. The food was very good and above all, I was always treated with dignity. I made lots of new friends, both staff and residents and would highly recommend to anyone like me.
You are always welcome at The Abbeys.
Although she was only here a short time, respect and dignity were paramount and standards were excellent.
The compassion and kindness when she died made me feel that the short time she had been in The Abbeys was special.
There ladies/gents put my mind at ease.
My brother was happy and satisfied with the conditions, never complaining. However, I found the amount of storage space totally inadequate for strong a lifelong belongings. It also concerned me that there were too many incontinent pads on open display in his room.
My initial contact was with the management and admin who were efficient and capable. I was able to select a room for my wife, it was light, airy, clean, welcoming and en-suite was of a high standard. The care staff are kind, caring with unbelievable patience in somewhat challenging circumstances. My wife is cared for in an excellent manner which retains her dignity. The Abbeys Care Centre provide an excellent service at a time when our family need understanding in dealing with these health problems.
I have no complaints whatsoever. They looked after my father-in-law brilliantly until the day he passed away. Nothing was too much trouble for them and always greeted with a smile when you arrive and when you leave.
All staff provided outstanding and compassionate care throughout my mother's stay. Mum made new friends and regarded the Abbeys Care Centre as her own home.
All needs seem to be met to a satisfactory standard and she is happy.
My mum went in The Abbeys Care Centre for eight weeks respite care in that time she was well looked after and cared for. The home is clean and welcoming and the staff are very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend it and use it for mum again.
I have found all members of staff very helpful, kind and considerate in their care of my mother-in-law. The home is well cared for clean and bright.

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.
