My cousin was referred for respite here by social services and settled in immediately. The staff and management are all very friendly and supportive to her and myself. We are very much hoping her residency will become permanent. I can't express fully how much peace of mind their care is giving me or the amazing improvement it has made to her state of physical and mental well being.
My mum gets very well cared for. They cater for all her needs and I think she gets excellent care and staff are always on hand for advice and they tell me about what they do when she is feeling ill.
The home itself has a lovely friendly atmosphere, plenty of observation of the clients eg.
Dad was ill in February this year and was in hospital within 2hours and the staff/nurse in charge supported me.
The home looks a bit tired but its clean and it smells fresh and dad is happy there.
The team looking after him, in everyway, are excellent.
Very friendly - feels very safe. Staff outstanding, food outstanding, food outstanding, management very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble.
Very good care.
The staff are very good, my only complaint is there are just not enough of them. If two of them are seeing to a resident, very often there is no-one else available to see to anyone else.
I am glad I chose this care home. Thank you.
When he was ill, the carers were prompt in contacting the ambulance to have him admitted.
Dad is always joining in any activities that are in the home.
It has only been due to peer pressure that I have remained silent until now. This care home requires a huge improvement in terms of staff continuity and personal care. Some of the staff were excellent, sadly a few were downright unhelpful and rude.
The padded sides of my fathers cot sides were cracked and very dirty breeding infection.
The walls in his room had ripped wallpaper were disgustingly dirty.
One of the light switches had dried blood on it.
The TV would only receive one channel.
The furniture was broken and drawers wouldn't close.
I hope you get the picture without me droning on at my dissatisfaction with this care care that has been graded as 'Unsatisfactory' for as long as I can remember.
Why haven't I complained to the management of the home I hear you ask? I have but got fed up of wasting my breath.

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.
