Review from Teresa L (Wife of Resident) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My husband moved to Balmoral after a hospital stay for a 4 week assessment. We had never been to see the care home and I was very anxious and worried about my husband moving into an unknown care home. We were immediately impressed by the warm welcome and how friendly and caring all the staff are. The activity team work hard to ensure the residents who are able to engage in activities are kept busy. My husbands medical condition means that he is rapidly deteriorating and the nursing and care staff have made sure he has everything he needs and respond quickly to his changing requirements. I feel lucky that we were sent here for my husbands assessment and that there was a room available for him to make this his permanent home.

Review from L W (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
As a family we are delighted with the care Mum receives at Balmoral. The staff are always friendly and helpful and there are plenty of people available to speak to if you want to discuss anything.
The activities programme is excellent, a lot of Mum's friends in other care homes are quite envious of her. Compared to how Mum was when she arrived here (very confused and antisocial) she is 1000% better, enjoying her surroundings and engaging with people and activities. I would highly recommend Balmoral.

Review from S C (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has needed to be admitted several times over the last few months for emergency respite.
Mum has always been welcomed back with open arms and the staff team has gone above and beyond to care for her.
Mum decided she wanted soup for breakfast which was actioned immediately and Mum loved it.
The care staff are amazing and include my mum in all the activities the home has to offer.
First and foremost, my mum is in a safe environment and she is very well looked after and it is the only place she would return to if there is another emergency.

Review from W H (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 February 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend enough the carers and people who run activities at Balmoral Care Home, the nursing staff, activities, managers and admin staff.
Mum had a wonderful ten months of her life filled with laughter and love. Nothing seemed to be any trouble for them. Not only Mum but myself and other visitors were treated as family at the home.
It took the worry and work out of caring for Mum so I could have fun and entertain my mum - worth the money.

My only complaint is the lack of response from admin regarding finance by email.

Overall Experience
The staff are very friendly, caring and professional; they treat all residents with dignity. There are always indoor activities as well as excursions, such as taking residents to the coast, including a fish and chip lunch. Our aunty didn't want to go into a care facility, but she loves it. This care home facility comes highly recommended.

Review from Andrew G (Son of Resident) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mum likes it at Balmoral Care Home but we feel the food choices are very limited. The staff are always friendly and makes Mum feel better with banter and lighthearted humour. My issues are my mum's teeth have not been brushed every day and also the lack of dentist visits. I get phone calls about any issues regarding Mum's welfare which is excellent. The home is very clean and doesn't smell at all. Mum's room is small and in need of decorating to make it homely. Lunchtime food choice is soup and sandwiches, 6 days a week is boring and repetitive.

Good care for our mum. The room is okay, don't agree that we have to pay the top-up fee. Mum has paid into the system all her life and is still paying. Balmoral is a nice care home. Mum was in a previous care home (which should be closed down). We have peace of mind now she is here, Activity staff are great and super friendly.
