On one occasion my mother was hit by another patient and the care team rang to inform me. I was shocked to see the extent of bruising on her head. They did put in an action plan to keep the residents separate. It's not happened since.

Thank you for taking the time to review Amarna House Care Home in York. We keep residents on our high-dependency dementia suite as safe as possible and react to all situations whilst giving individual residents as much protection as possible. However, at times issues may arise due to communal living and reactions to situations. Staff are readily available in lounges and communal areas to minimise any risk. Best wishes, Linda.

On making the hard decision to put my mum into a care home (especially during a pandemic) I cannot express my thanks enough for the care and dedication that all the staff at Amarna gave my mum. After a month my mum came alive again. Chatty, witty and back to how she used to be. Her humour and laughter shone. It was the right decision and the right setting for my mum. They listened to me and to my mum (even though she had dementia) and they couldn't do enough for us. They had regular activities and took them in the grounds on sunny days which my mum loved (sitting with a drink). Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind comments. The team were delighted to take care of your mum, who showed us all how to have a sense of humour. She was our matriarch of the unit, and she kept all the girls up to date with her stories. She is still greatly missed, and it was a pleasure for all of us to have...
Thank you for your kind comments. The team were delighted to take care of your mum, who showed us all how to have a sense of humour. She was our matriarch of the unit, and she kept all the girls up to date with her stories. She is still greatly missed, and it was a pleasure for all of us to have met her and you and your sister. Please feel welcome to visit Amarna House anytime, and you and your family will always be welcome here. Best wishes, Linda.
Encouraged to make the room their own. Always easy for relatives to talk to a relevant carer. The manager is accessible and appears to know her residents, working on the units and also night shifts. Visits easy to arrange and covid secure. All front-of-house staff friendly and welcoming.

Due to Covid restrictions, it is very difficult to give a true review of all the facilities as we are not allowed in rooms, kitchen, dining etc, however, the team that is looking after our mum are very kind and caring, we know she is in the best place for her circumstances. It is very upsetting having to put a loved one in a home but we know she is being cared for. Wish we could see her more often without masks, gloves and aprons and try to get back to as normal as possible under the difficult situation we found ourselves in last November.

For three years my father has had excellent care from all your staff. He is 100 years old and recently had another new hip. The care he has had has been amazing, so glad he is in Amarna House.

During the time that my brother has been in the care of Amarna House the level of care has been outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble - the patience and understanding of his needs on all levels have been met. The kindness for the family during a very difficult time has been amazing and I cannot thank them all enough for all that they do on every level. On visiting, we are made very welcome and the example set of how things should be run is right there!
Facilities are excellent and supported by other staff members. Overall management is the highest "hands-on" that produces a good working relationship in all aspects of the home.

In the few months that mum has been staying in this care home, we have seen a remarkable improvement in both mum's physical and mental well being. The colleagues are all so kind and helpful and nothing is too much trouble when we ask for any help.
