My father was in Tollesby for two and a half years after leaving a residential home when his needs increased. He was very well looked after, well-fed and formed lovely relationships with his carers. The home surpassed itself last month whilst Dad was on end of life care - their support to us whilst we stayed overnight at Dad's bedside for over a week was amazing. Even more importantly, their genuine affection, care and respect given to Dad in his final days touched us all, and we will always be so thankful.
My mother-in-law was well looked after and when she was on end of life all the staff made us as a family very welcome and with extremely good dignity from nurses carers and even domestic staff were so very nice and went above and beyond there roles.
Excellent caring dedicated staff. Spotlessly clean, nothing is a problem would 100% recommend. What a fantastic caring team within the care home we as a family were lucky to find this place .
All the staff went the extra mile for dad. They had time for him. Diverted on the way to work to collect his newspaper and encouraged him. On every visit, I had the strong impression that every member of staff we met genuinely cared about dad. Thank you.
I asked my husband the question. He as ha problem writing due to strokes. He has just been for the first time for a week's respite. When he came home I asked him about his week. He said he had nothing to complain about. He felt very safe and secure and well looked after. He said all the staff were wonderful. When he pressed his buzzer they came straight away. He would have no hesitation going in again.
All the staff have gone beyond the normal limits and made my mother very happy during her stay.
My mother entered the home in 2013. From day one, all of the staff were very welcoming and friendly and my sister and I were sure we had picked the right home. Mum settled in straight away and continued throughout her stay to enjoy living at the home. Sadly in the last few years, she developed dementia and we had a couple of minor issues but after a meeting with the Manager these were quickly resolved. Mum’s care right up until her death in June this year was excellent, we could not fault the staff for the loving care and attention given to her. They assisted us with getting extra care for mum and she had a peaceful few weeks until her death. I would certainly recommend the home.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. We hope to continue to do our best.
The most important part of a care home is the care itself, and the staff at Tollesby Hall are outstanding. Very sadly my father passed away during his short stay, but the support we received was excellent. We were treated with dignity, and the staff took time to talk to us to help and guide us through a difficult time. I only wish I could call out several exceptional staff, but suffice to say everyone was compassionate and caring.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. We value all our families and residents.
Understand fully the needs of residents (as witnessed by me when my husband was in for respite care). Everywhere was so clean and I loved the wooden/lino flooring throughout. So much more hygienic.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support.
My aunt was a resident for three years. Despite her challenging behaviour, staff are always patient. During my aunts deteriorating health, kindness and dignity ensued. I was always made welcome and as my aunts health failed, I was kept informed and notified when the end came, ensuring I was there to hold her hand. All nursing staff, domestic and office excellent.
You made a very difficult situation bearable.
As a family, we are very grateful for everything you did to make him comfortable and also the care you provided for our grandma.
Thank you.
My mother has been in this home for a few weeks now having palliative care; she needs peace. I spend every afternoon with her. There is a buzzer just outside her door but she likes to have the door open. We have to stop talking while it sounds and I have spent many hours listening to it when she is resting. It is all that I will remember about the place!
I did complain and the home has reduced the volume of the buzzer. It is much better but I can still hear the others. There is an identical system at a Hospice, but with lights outside of the rooms, not buzzers!
There were lots of activities for the residents and all the staff we saw were easy to talk with and it was obvious that they cared for the residents.
Having surveyed many care homes throughout the UK Scotland and Ireland in the past I would rate this home as being one of the best I have been to.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to friend and family and others.
Thank you to all the staff for the wonderful job you do, we feel lucky to be on this journey with you.
My dad spent the last two years of his life at Tollesby Hall Care Home after suffering a stroke. His complex needs were met well by the staff. His appearance was kept clean and tidy, clean dressings were applied daily and he never suffered with bed sores. Members of staff were warm and friendly, maintaining a sense of humour, which I know my dad appreciated, even though he struggled to talk clearly. My dad also had to be peg fed and the management of Tollesby was the only home we initially contacted who agreed to accept him as a resident, despite his complex needs.
From day one, my Mum and her family felt supported, included and valued.
The professional care, empathy and understanding, which all staff without exception demonstrate on a daily basis, has enabled Mum to feel safe, secure and fully supported in her new home.
This excellence in provision of care means so much to all her family.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
Our nurse was amazing.
Mum was comfortable.
My father came to Tollesby Hall in July 2018 after an unpleasant experience in his previous home and became very withdrawn. Within two days, the difference was immense, both physically and mentally. My family highly regard the care being shown to dad daily.
Thank you so much for your support and kindness.
My mother received the most kind, considerate, compassionate and professional care and attention while in the hands of the staff at Tollesby Hall. They were wonderful to my mother, self and rest of my family and could not praise them all highly enough.
When looking for a nursing home for our dad, who was very ill, we visited several in the area. Our choice, Tollesby Hall, was because first impressions of a lovely caring atmosphere plus immaculate cleanliness (not a hint of bad smells) proved to be the right one. Their interpretation of the finest human qualities of love and care for others is truly awe-inspiring. We couldn't have chosen a better place for Dad to be looked after and any family searching for such facilities can be assured that this is where your loved one will be as comfortable as possible. Heartfelt thanks from all our family.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Meet the Team (1)

My name is Ginita, I am married with three children and 10 grandchildren. I started my care journey as a carer in a small home of 10 residents with learning disabilities for twelve years before deciding to become a nurse. I studied at Teesside University at the age of 42 and qualified as an adult nurse in 2017 with a first-class with honours.
I started my nursing career in James Cook Hospital, but knew that my passion was within the community. I have worked in care homes since 2018 and have enjoyed my journey since, learning new skills and mentoring newly qualified nurses.
I started at Tollesby Hall in January 2021, and I have progressed from nurse to lead nurse, then to clinical lead. I was then promoted to Care Home Manager in August 2025.
I am passionate about nursing and like to feel I make a difference to residents' and families lives.
