We had visited other care homes in surrounding areas but were impressed with how clean Nicholas House smelt so decided that's where she would be.
In my opinion, Nicholas House is an outstanding care home. All staff including carers, chefs and cleaners are superb. I would recommend this care home to everyone.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your care and love given to my MIL
An outstanding care home that showers each resident with dignity, love and respect. Every one of the carers, chefs and cleaners is superb. My mum was able to keep her pride and dignity until her last day. We will be forever grateful to the home and were delighted to call them our friends.

Over the two years, my wife has been in the care home, I have seen improvements when they changed the manager. The staff from management through all departments are absolutely wonderful. The care they give to the residents is the best. I can go home not worrying about my wife because I know she couldn't be in safer hands. Top marks to Nicholas House Care Home.
I was my friend's carer before she had to come into Nicholas House from the very beginning. Myself and her family have been very pleased with her care. The home is a very friendly place and the staff are always there either for the residents or their family.

Mum couldn't walk, eat, hold a conversation, in fact, she couldn't do anything.
Now a year on and she is a totally different person.
She joins in with the activities, holds conversations with the staff and residents and enjoys the lovely meals that are cooked on the premises.
The staff at Nicholas House go above and beyond their jobs.
They are amazing, lots of time for residents and also residents' families.
I can't thank them enough.

I found them to be lacking in basic manners and respect for the elderly and their belongings ie. on the day of arrival, no greeting, no introduction, not shown his room.
Personal belongings when taken in, were left lying on the office floor for days.
The home was not well led, inefficient and unprofessional, ie. occupants clothes mixed up, important paper's lost or misplaced.
I also found the home to lack initiative where after the first few weeks, my friend was left in his room all day, every day in the same place or lying on his bed.

I have found the home and staff to be very welcoming with a very homely/warm atmosphere.
