A wonderful home, full of love and care. Amazing staff, gentle, caring, full of laughs and humour. Beautiful gardens - downstairs reception rooms all have gorgeous views which lift up your heart. A perfect place for people who need help, safety combined with the freedom to spend the day as you wish. One last thought, a couple of dogs might be very beneficial - a great comfort to residents.

I visit a lady twice a month. She is always clean, and the areas I see are always clean and tidy. There are nice views from the upstairs windows. There are always signs of activities; the staff try to do with the residents. A lot of the residents appear to have dementia needs and don't interact much.

My dad is in this care home. The staff are very friendly and approachable and take extremely good care of him. Dad has had a few falls and trips to the hospital for checkups to make sure he is alright, all thanks to the staff looking after his needs. Staff make sure Dad eats a well-balanced diet as he is very small and had lost a lot of weight, but is now putting some back on. O can relax knowing my dad is getting the best care and attention from the staff. Dad has dementia but knows his carers really do care, and so do I. Thanks to all the staff.

The last few weeks have been challenging in many ways for my mother, who is very troubled and cannot understand everyday things now and is not easily settled at all. The staff have dealt with these problems as they have arisen in a competent manner as is the nature of their training very difficult.

I am extremely happy with the care my mum receives every day. My mum has suffered from a stroke, which has left her with emotional needs, and all the carers and management help her with the special needs that she now has. I am never worried about my mum because she has all the help and support she needs. I would like to thank them all for the care that she has received. Thank you all so much.

My father has been a resident of Bessingby Hall for more than two years. He is very settled at the home, and the carers have got to know him really well and look after him really well with the respect and dignity he needs. The home communicates with me regularly, which was a Godsend. During Covid, they always keep me informed of any changes or development, and I am more than happy with the home.
