My mother was recently admitted to Tenlands for respite care. Upon arrival, she was greeted with a royal welcome from the staff. We were shown around the home and found it to be exceptionally clean, comfortable and beautifully presented. The facilities are excellent and the rooms are bright, clean and fresh. The staff are friendly and welcoming which made my mother and our family feel at ease. Since her admission, my mother has received exemplary care. We would like to express our gratitude to all staff at Tenlands for treating our mother with dignity, kindness and respect.
During a recent period of illness, staff at Tenlands have provided exemplary care. Their attention and dedication are marvellous and my aunt has been treated with kindness, dignity and professional courtesy throughout. We are very grateful for all that the staff at Tenlands do.

The staff always make me feel welcome when I visit and I am delighted with the quality of care given. There is also a good variety of entertainment for the residents. I really enjoyed the Elvis show.

From my very first contact, having arrived without notice in order to gather a true impression of the home and staff. I was greeted in a most welcoming and friendly manner. Having been shown the facilities and accommodation I was given the opportunity to speak to several of the residents, all of...
On my wife's transfer, I was pleased to see how all the care staff made her feel at ease and welcome from the outset.
Indeed, up to the present time, I cannot fault anything or anyone I have encountered in the home and have every confidence that this will continue to be the case.

The staff were looking after her personal needs and treated her with kindness.
The day she died they showed us empathy and concern, which was a great comfort to us. Thank you for all they did.

The care provided to my father is exceptional. The team at Tenlands Care Home always provide the most caring and individual service. I couldn't ask for better for my father. The team arranged a 90th birthday party for my father, nothing was too much trouble and it made the day special for all of us.

My husband, a double amputee with cognitive issues has been a resident of Tenlands Care Home since July 2013. In all of this time, he has been treated with the utmost care, love and respect. Although he would love to return to living at home, he knows that this is impossible and he tells me every day how happy he is to be well cared for. Since December 2016, his condition has deteriorated with the tissue in his remaining stump breaking down. This has caused him to be in terrible pain. The staff have done everything possible to relieve him of the pain making him as comfortable and giving total support to myself and the family.

It's been on experience been here as I normally live on my own. Staff very friendly, helpful. I was worried to come here at it's miles away from where I live but comforted and reassured and If I had to come back I would. Meals are very nice can't fault anyone. Activities I choose not to join in but did enjoy church services. I would definitely recommend Tenlands to anyone. Will miss everyone but pleased to be going home.

My brother decided to join Tenlands Care Home in late January 2017 and fortunately for him, there was a room available. From the moment he arrived, he was made to feel extremely welcome with so many members of the Tenland's team visiting him to welcome him and constantly ensuring that his needs were met ie we were able to transport his beloved recliner chair which arrived at the same time as he did. The attention from the entire team has been excellent and that continues to provide me with a great deal of comfort and contentment. The fact that many of his pictures, photographs and then his bureau to house his beloved books are now in his new home have made an enormous difference to the settling in process. His food is superb and always make me feel hungry immediately during my visits. His every need has been catered for and throughout his stay and I have been informed of his progress. He is receiving the best care and attention in his new, happy, comfortable home and he is content.
I couldn't praise the management and staff more highly. My brother was treated with great care and dignity in his last days. My brothers last weeks were much better for being looked after by the staff.

It was evident that this is standard at Tenlands and other residents and visitors received the same level of care and kindness at all times.
My mother was not in a position to take part in any of the activities on offer so my comment of "good" below is not based on direct experience.
Regarding "value for money", I have said "Don't Know" as my mother was funded by the NHS. However, although I find it difficult to consider the service in such terms, I am sure that Tenlands are providing an excellent service on insufficient levels of funding.
Excellent home mam settled in immediately. She was very underweight when she first went in and had no appetite now she eats anything that is put in front of her. As soon as she has any health issues the nurse sorts her, I love the idea of the hairdressers she looks forward to that and one of the...
Excellent home mam settled in immediately. She was very underweight when she first went in and had no appetite now she eats anything that is put in front of her. As soon as she has any health issues the nurse sorts her, I love the idea of the hairdressers she looks forward to that and one of the carers painted her nails when I was in this week. A lovely gentleman was doing exercise with them all in the lounge. The staff are all brilliant and go out of their way to make everyone comfortable. The deputy manager is an inspiration.

Overall the care provided is of an excellent standard. The individual care my mother receives is superb. The home is of a high standard where the rooms are spacious and well maintained. The staff are keen to arrange special activities and decorate the home at seasonal times, Easter, Halloween etc. There are also outdoor activities particularly in the summer or when the weather is fine. My only concern is that there seems to be a high turnover of staff which can be disruptive.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We really value the feedback provided by those who use our services. We are glad you are happy with the home and the care delivered to your mother.At Tenlands we are delighted to have extended our care bank staff to allow us to easily cover annual leave and any shortfalls in the staffing levels including maternity leave with our own well-trained staff and as a consequence, we have had new care staff commence in the home over the past few weeks. We are very happy to confirm we have had very few staff leave our employ.

Always find the staff at Tenlands Care Home very helpful, friendly and very professional. My dad has felt comfortable and welcome there, would recommend this home.

I started my journey in care when I was 19 years old as a Care Assistant, and from the very beginning, I knew I had found something I was truly passionate about. Supporting people, building trusting relationships, and helping individuals feel safe, valued, and cared for has always been at the heart of everything I do.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to grow and develop within my career, progressing through roles including Senior Carer, Administrator, Residential Lead, Deputy Manager, and now Home Manager. Each role has shaped me both professionally and personally, and strengthened my belief in delivering care that is not only high-quality but also genuinely compassionate and person-centred.
I take great pride in leading teams to provide the best possible support for residents, ensuring their well-being, dignity, and independence are always prioritised. I also value supporting staff to grow in confidence and enjoy their roles, as I believe a happy, supported team creates the best outcomes for those we care for.
I am currently working towards my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, continuing to develop my skills and knowledge so I can keep making a positive difference every day.

With over 20 years of experience in care, I have always been passionate about supporting people to live with dignity, comfort, and independence. I...
With over 20 years of experience in care, I have always been passionate about supporting people to live with dignity, comfort, and independence. I started my journey as a Care Assistant, gaining valuable hands-on experience and building meaningful connections with those I supported.
As I grew in confidence and knowledge, I became a Senior Care Assistant and later progressed to Deputy Manager. These roles have allowed me to support and guide teams, while ensuring high standards of care are always maintained. I take pride in making a positive difference every day, both for the people in my care and the staff I work alongside.

I’m the Home Administrator at Tenlands Care Home, where I play a key role in ensuring the home runs efficiently, supporting both residents and staff while maintaining high standards of care. I’ve worked in care home administration since 2012, gaining experience across a variety of residential and dementia care settings, so it’s fair to say I’ve seen a bit of everything!I hold a Level 4 NVQ in Business Leadership and Management and take pride in creating an organised, supportive environment for both residents and staff. Whether it’s solving problems, keeping things on track, or just being someone people can rely on, I enjoy being at the heart of the home’s day-to-day operations.
I was also proud to be shortlisted as a regional finalist in the Great British Care Awards, which was a real highlight and recognition of the work I’m so passionate about.
