My mum became a resident in the dementia residential section of Croft Dene Care Home two months ago. The staff at Croft Dene have been excellent in making her feel welcome and helping her to settle in. I have found all of the employees including the managers, administration, carers and domestic staff to be very friendly, attentive and caring to both the residents and their families. The deputy manager and senior carer ensured they understood my mum's medical history, her food and drink preferences and who her key family members were. Croft Dene has enabled me to personalize her room so it feels homely and familiar and there is a lovely, lively atmosphere in the home. Since she has been at Croft Dene, my mum has become more mobile and sociable, she has been eating better and most importantly she has not had any falls or accidents. We are very happy with the level of care my mum is getting and would recommend Croft Dene to others.
Many thanks for taking the time to complete the feedback, regards.
As a family, we are so pleased with the care my husband receives. It was his birthday recently, the home has been in lockdown, so staff went out of their way to give him a great day; they also send me videos of him opening his cards and present and him blowing out candles on his cake.

The title 'care home' is 5-star appropriate. 'Care' to my sister and observed to other residents, with empathy, patience, appropriate humour shared, to name but a few reasons of 'care'. 'Home' as staff respecting it is the residents' 'home' for which witnessed all possible is provided to ensure residents feel comfortable, safe, happy to live at their home. My family and myself are now able to sleep at night knowing my sister is well cared for.

My mother came to this home for 5 weeks and she was very reluctant to come in. The manager and carers made my mum feel very welcome and looked after her very well during her stay. Due to the pandemic, there were extra cleaning and safety measures in place however we always felt welcomed and we...
Croft Dene catered for my mum's special dietary needs, there was plenty of choice and she enjoyed the food they served.
She was staying in over the Christmas break and there was plenty of activities and joy to keep my mum and her new friend busy and happy.
I would personally like to say a big thank you for caring for my mum.
Best wishes.

This care home is a hidden little gem. I phoned Croft Dene up asking for information about the home, spoke to a very nice lady who offered me a look around and I took the offer up on the same day. I was amazed with the facilities, it was beautifully decorated throughout and all the bedrooms with own en-suite. All the staff were all very nice and caring and nothing was any bother. I am pleased to leave my mum here.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the feedback. All feedback is noted and shared with the team.

No kettle in the kitchen and not allowed to eat food in the dayroom. Mother loves a cup of tea, as do a few others.
Not even seen or sure if there is a tea trolley anymore. It is the resident's home after all and she pays for it - it needs home comforts.
