Activities range from therapy animal visits and baking sessions to silent discos and live performances. Trips to garden centres, memory-making moments like Seize the Day, and inclusive seasonal events ensure life here stays vibrant and meaningful.

Her care throughout her stay was unquestionable. Thank you for your professionalism and dedication and making my aunty's time with you as comfortable as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review at this sad time, this is lovely to read. I am so pleased that my team ensured they met everyone's expectations.
Excellent care provided. Particularly impressed with the Deputy Manager. Her care of my Mother in Law has been outstanding and has had a very positive impact on her well-being. My Mother in Law is treated with respect and time is spent making sure her wishes are understood and fulfilled. Thank you.

My husband could not be in a better place than Warde Aldam. The staff is truly magnificent, happy, smiling, not a grumpy face among them. Even though he refuses to sit and eat, they make sure he has plenty of finger food whilst he walks up and down. The care here is personalised to each resident...
My husband could not be in a better place than Warde Aldam. The staff is truly magnificent, happy, smiling, not a grumpy face among them. Even though he refuses to sit and eat, they make sure he has plenty of finger food whilst he walks up and down. The care here is personalised to each resident and gives me and family reassurance he is receiving the best possible. Thank you to all staff and be assured you are all truly admired for your patience, your care, your skill, and your welcoming approach.

From moving into Warde Aldam my mother-in-law has been cared for with love and respect. The home is always very welcoming to family and friends. Whilst the home has been closed through the Coronavirus we have been contacted with updates and reassurances throughout. In this period, mum-in-laws 80th birthday was celebrated without her family but the staff made a wonderful party and sent us lots of pictures.
Thank you for this lovely review. It is very hard during these difficult times but we are trying very hard to keep families as involved as we can until our doors are open again. I am very pleased that you liked the photos.
Being the wife of a resident who resided there for nearly three years, I feel that I must say what a wonderful, loving and caring home Warde Aldam is, staff worked above and beyond their duty, always helpful and obliging. We, as a family, felt content in the knowledge my husband was happy there....
Being the wife of a resident who resided there for nearly three years, I feel that I must say what a wonderful, loving and caring home Warde Aldam is, staff worked above and beyond their duty, always helpful and obliging. We, as a family, felt content in the knowledge my husband was happy there. Always his second family. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your kind words; it is always very reassuring as a manager to read these reviews knowing that what we as a team do is not only felt by the resident but the family too. When we open our doors we look forward to seeing you all again.
My Dad lived at Warde Aldam for 3 years. He recently died but I cannot praise the staff enough, every member of staff who came in contact with dad was fantastic. The carer, too many to mention, and especially two who went above and beyond for my Dad and me in Dad’s final week. Thank you from the...
The members of staff are very friendly, hard-working from the management to the domestic workers.
I can honestly say they made Dad’s last 3 years happier and he always had a smile for everyone apart from when it was shower time lol.
Highly recommend Walde Aldam if you want your loved one to be looked after and not just left to sit and stare.
Thank you for your lovely comments and fabulous recommendation; these reviews always inspire my team. Reading your review helps us remember the happy times, thank you so much for that. I shall ensure that my staff read this.
My dad entered Warde Aldam early this year after having been in a couple of places the year before, and the change in him was immediate. He was happy, and he was treated with the utmost care and love by the staff there. Thanks very much for making my dads life much better for the last part of his...

Thank you very much for this lovely review. Your dad settled into our family home very quickly, and my staff team warmed to him very quickly. I shall pass your comments across to my team as comments like yours gives them such a lift. Thank you.
Father loves it here. All the carers and nurses are super friendly, and he is very well looked after. They go above and beyond to make his time there as comfortable as possible.

Thank you for this lovely recommendation, especially at this difficult time for us here at the home. It means such a lot and I will pass your comments to the team as this will give them a big lift.
Have just got round to adding this for the care my father received up to his death last year. He had very complex needs having advanced dementia and Parkinson's. The care he received was excellent, the patience and compassion shown by all the team in the dementia unit was greatly appreciated by our...
The home was clearly well run, had some great staff who dealt amazingly with very challenging residents.
I would like to thank very much for this extremely positive review. It is one of the things we strive for; treating every resident as an individual which is what you have acknowledged. I will ensure your comments are passed across to my team.

My husband recently spent 5 days respite in Warde Aldam Nursing Home. During the short stay, he was treated by all staff with such respect. His care was second to none and being his first visit, he settled in well. I would have no hesitation in returning when necessary. The dedication and love the staff have shown him confirmed my trust in their care.
Thank you for this review. This was only a very short experience but I am heartened to read that it was a very positive one, we spoke briefly about the areas we could improve upon and I would hope that on your next visit we get 5 across every area. I will, of course, share these comments with my team.

For the last sixteen months, my father has been a resident at Warde Aldam, until his recent passing in November 2019. Both my wife and I would like to thank everyone at Warde Aldam for the care and affection they gave to him during his stay there. It could not have been bettered. In the words of Tina Turner, you're all 'Simply the Best'. Thank you.
Thank you for the lovely review. Tina Turner as you say, says it all. I will of course pass your comments onto the team.
Caring, beautiful, loving, helpful staff. Couldn't ask for a better care home for my dad. Everyone is compassionate, and Dad was given the dignity and love he deserved. I would have no worries about leaving any family members at this nursing home in the future.

The staff were great with Dad and it was great knowing they were looking after him the way we would have looked after him if we could have. Food excellent and communication from all staff was outstanding. I would highly recommend this care home. We just wished we had found this care home sooner!
Thank you for your very positive review at this sad time; we are very glad we were able to offer a placement and provide care for your father. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Very pleased with the care and attention given and listened to about any concerns we may have. Management very very good and always listens to anything we have to say.

This week they hired a special coach to take a number of patients and carers including a nurse for a trip to Cleethorpes on the Lincolnshire coast. What a great day we had and everyone came back with a smile on their face.
It would be nice if we could get the local community more involved in the activities. If you have any ideas of how you can help please contact the manager who I am sure will listen to your suggestions.
Thank you for this excellent review; it is wonderful to read that you feel we have improved on the food and drink, although the seaside trip was a success it appears that we still have some work to do with activities. Thank you for assisting me with our links to the local community.
The staff very quickly got to know my husband. They identified his likes and dislikes. Despite his many behavioural problems, they treated him with dignity. Staff responded very quickly to his many problems and addressed his needs. Staff were always trying to find the best solutions to care for...
