Overall Experience

My mother has been looked after for the last couple of years in the home and is safe and settled in her surroundings. . She has great interaction with all her carers and the staff at the home . All carers , staff and management are very approachable . I am impressed with the fact that if any medical issues arise with her , they are acted on , and direct contact is made with her GP surgery .

Overall Experience

Aycliffe Care Home provides a warm, caring environment for my mother, who has dementia. Any issues are dealt with immediately when brought to the staff's attention. My mother says that she feels safe, which is all the validation that this home needs. I cannot praise the staff enough. I am so grateful that she is well cared for.

Overall Experience

I have no concerns at all about the level of care provided by the staff and the home in general. The staff are all very friendly, and they react to concerns quickly and with dignity. I am so happy that Mum is settled and is happy. I pop in a few times a week at all different times and have never had any concerns. Management is always on hand, and the home is very well managed.

Mam is happy in care home, all staff from domestic to management treat her with dignity and respect. Mam is safe, comfortable and warm, that is the most important. Had a few teething problems at first but were resolved.

Review from Lisa M (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mam came to the home in July 2025 after suffering a stroke which has left her with very little movement on her left side and days of confusion with her short term memory. I was so worried and anxious about finding the right home for her to start her recovery journey but I can definitely say now that I couldn't have chosen a better home to look after her. From day one the staff were welcoming, approachable and so caring. You can tell immediately that they are passionate about their work and providing the best care. She has a lovely room, its always immaculate and clean. Her meals are always amazing, plenty of choice too. We can visit anytime we like and even take our dogs to visit her. My Mam couldn't be in better hands and she has built such strong bonds with the staff. I honestly couldn't be happier with the care being given to my Mam. It has been such a relief to not have to constantly worry about her welfare and wellbeing. I'm so grateful to all the staff, thank you!!

Since my family member has moved into the home, the experience for my whole family has been very positive, the staff such kindness and care to everyone, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the manager has been very supportive and put our minds at rest to this new move in a care home setting.

Overall Experience
My mam is a full-time resident of this home. She arrived in May 2025.
Before that, she was cared for by the family but sadly we could no longer cope.

She is cared for with kindness and compassion and is very settled and content.

Review from Debbie I (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
After 7 years of looking after my Mam at home, who suffers from dementia, I was in crisis. The Social Worker agreed on permanent residential care for Mam and I was lucky enough to find Aycliffe Care Home- What a fantastic Care Home it is!
It is well managed, spotlessly clean, the Staff are efficient, friendly, caring, kind, and they have embraced my Mam and her needs. Mam is always well presented; she is happy and content with her new 'family'. I cannot praise Aycliffe Care Home enough. Aycliffe Care Home have gone above and beyond my expectations.

A Five Star Care Provider -Thank You.

Review from Mandie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Lovely care home with very caring staff. Regular use of agency staff does not seem to affect service delivery. Cleanliness is good, no awful smells (always a bonus). The only negative comment is around communication between management and me (as next of kin) but hopefully, this will improve when the recently departed manager is replaced. Overall, very satisfied with my mother's care.

Overall Experience

My dad went into the care home for end-of-life care in December and was there for a fortnight before he died. The staff were absolutely wonderful from start to finish and went the extra mile! I have nothing but praise for them. They implemented the Namaste plan we had developed to ensure my dad had familiar and comforting sensations and cared for us as a family with compassion. Thank you.

I cannot put into words the high level of care and professionalism coupled with empathy the care home has shown my father.
His whole menina has improved alongside his well-being. This is down to the staff and facilities.

Thank you for all you do; it is very much appreciated.

Review from David S (Son of Resident) published on 12 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The staff, on a whole, are exceptional there are 1 or 2 who aren't generally as good. The exceptional staff give the home a family feel. They genuinely care.
The only times that they are let down is when there is short staffing, possibly holidays or staff sickness issues. Then you can see the staff getting stretched and stressed.

I sometimes feel the meals could be a little better, they sometimes don't look the most appetising so we often bring fresh food in to supplement.

Mum, me and the rest of the family describe the experience at Aycliffe Care Home as "superb". We could not ask for better care for Mum. Every member of staff is pleasant and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The whole of the atmosphere is happy and relaxed.

This care home is so welcoming and friendly. The staff are caring and very approachable. There isn't one member of staff who isn't understanding. Whilst the care home might not be posh, it is spotlessly clean and homely. The food looks very good and plenty of variety.
