Wordsworth House

My father William needed respite care after an operation at the end of June 2026. He was given a single en-suite bedroom with a view over the garden. The facilities were clean and worked as expected. William has not got any cognitive impairment and the nursing and auxiliary staff were brilliant at adjusting their interactions to William's needs. The nurses were often from a very experienced background and they were unfailingly kind and diligent despite very high demands. The care home manager was wise and supportive.

I enjoyed see my aunty Beatice today the staff very help me Kevin today I would like come back see smile on face the nursing home lovely place nursing home thank you help

My mam has been in this care home for about 1 yr 8 mths; I have no complaints connecting to her stay there. The staff are all wonderful!!! They are dedicated and very hard working. I have also seen the way they are with all the other residents and I think they all deserve a medal!!! They have a lot to put up with and handle situations brilliantly. The home is always clean & tidy; it has a good atmosphere and when you visit it feels like home.

Wordsworth House provides a safe and friendly environment for people like my mother who require a lot of care. All the staff are professional and friendly.

Every member of staff here are amazing. You can't fault them, my nanna has been here for over a year and a half and she can be difficult and I've seen first hand how the staff handle difficult situations, the home itself is lovely and everyone is so friendly and always has a smile on their face, I don't know how they do it , I wouldn't have the patience. If I could give more than five stars I would.

My dad's been in Wordsworth Care Home for nearly a year now and the care is more than satisfactory my dad always praises the staff as do I I hope all the staff always get treated accordingly there amazing people with great value :)

The care and support offered to my Mother and to us as a family is first class

Wordsworth House has a lovely, friendly atmosphere. It becomes part of your life and from reception to visiting your relative you are greeted as a friend.The longer serving staff are good at keeping you up to date with your relatives day to day moods, activities, food consumption. I was so impressed with concerts from local school, singers, the way the home is decorated for Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Royal and Sporting Events, and the quiz, activity and exercise classes as well as church services. My only suggestion would be to have the television to shown videos of: Strictly, old films, interspersed with just music playing rather than Quiz Shows, News, all afternoon

My dad was only at Wordsworth house for 2 weeks at the end of his life. I really couldn't fault the care that he received. He was looked after extremely well, was always comfortable, clean and the carers took time to get to know him. It was very difficult to put my dad into the home but once he was there we could relax knowing that he was being looked after so well. I would not hesitate to recommend Wordsworth house to anyone looking for a care home for their relative.

My mother was given a place at Woodsworth House for end-of-life care. As a family, we were distraught and did not know of this place. However, from the moment we went through the doors, we were met with kindness, compassion, and so much more. All of the staff are amazing, not only looked after my mam with the best care possible but looked after us too, my sister and brothers - nothing was too much bother for anyone - they really looked after us all, and cared for my mam until the end, all staff present giving her a guard of honour as she left with the funeral staff.

Excellent care covering all aspects of Wordsworth House. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Activities - always something going on. My mum is always active and enjoys everything.

His room is mostly keep lovely and clean and there is always someone on hand if needed assistance in his room. Also the laundry staff are all lovely and extremely helpful.

My husband received very good care whilst living there for 5 months. All the staff showed warmth, respect and kindness to him and myself and his sons. Any issues I raised were addressed quickly and resolved. The senior staff were accessible at all times. I would recommend Wordsworth House to anyone seeing a care home for relatives.

My dad had a room on the nursing floor for 5 months where he then passed away expectedly (with terminal cancer).

The staff all tried very hard to get to know dad - who needed a lot of attention. They were all friendly, professional and considerate throughout. We spent a lot of time at Wordsworth house so got to know a lot of them.

They were especially good in dads final days and made them as comfortable as possible for dad and for us, we will always appreciate that.

I would not hesitate to recommend Wordsworth house.

A lovely and friendly home which has improved immensely since 2014, due to the great management. My mam received genuine, friendly care and efficient nursing. I watched her improve day by day during her time at Wordsworth House. The home is clean, well organised and attractive with creative touches like the little community library, etc. Though my mam was glad to get home, she always felt safe and secure and would consider respite there.

My mother was in this care home for over 4 years. The staff down from the manager were absolutely amazing they show care love and dignity to all. I would recommend this home 100% they inform you what is taking place and keep you well up to date with what is going on with my mother. I can't thank them all for the care and love they provided before my mother passed away.

The home manager supported my mother through an issue that mum had promptly and professionally and took a lot of the time to personally keep mum up to date. The manager considers this part of her job, but I am so grateful that she went above and beyond and spoke up for mum. She made mum feel safe. The manager ensures as far as possible that the same people care for residents and this made mum's time in the home so much better than just a caring experience. Mum made some deep and genuine connections with staff and they were constantly cheerful and loving and loving with mum. Thank you.

I'm not sure when the breakdown of communication with my mum started, but break down they did. After 5 years we were fairly happy with the home. But somewhere down the line the management decided they couldn't cope with her Alzheimer's advancing and so they gave an 89 year old former social worker an eviction notice out of the blue. Its delivery felt unnecessarily cruel, the contents of the letter needlessly harsh and cold. I will never forget the day I came to move her out her crying with a resident *and* a carer. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I've witnessed. It seemed an avoidable situation and in the end there wasn't much care in this care home - at least she's finally seen a doctor and podiatrist where she's moved to. There are some amazing people who work in Wordsworth House - harder working carers, cleaners and cooks you could not find. But the management style delivery leaves a lot to be desired. I feel so disappointed and let-down by Wordsworth House & Akari Care.

I was made very welcome. The staff were helpful and responded to requests and questions.

Very happy with the care and support my mother receives. The staff are absolutely amazing with her. I only gave satisfactory on food as some points could be served with accompaniments, pork with apple, etc. More choices of desserts, they seem to be repetitive.
