My dad has been here since June 2025. Dan and Michelle are the senior carers and always ensure my dads health and well- being are a priority for which I am very grateful. He loves the food and bacon sarnies for breakfast. He has gained weight, strength and mobility since he came here. The long term staff are proffesional, warm and genuinely caring. I am happy my sister found this home as it has given me a great piece of mind.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your review of Northlands. I am glad that you have had a positive experience and I will pass on your kind words to our care team.
When I did my visit to the home I knew with in 20mins this is were my Dad would be happy and cared for,I was not wrong,he loves the home,,the staff are excellent, nothing is to much for them, highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. Our team will be pleased to hear your positive feedback.
Her room and person are always spotless and the home welcoming with lots going on!
Thank you for providing your review of Northlands. I am pleased that your Nan is having a good experience and I will pass on your positive comments to our team.
My mother is currently residing in this care home. At the beginning of her stay we couldn't find much to fault them with, but as my mum is becoming more dependent of assistance with all her daily care needs this home is failing in all aspects. We've visited and found her trying to eat meals from a coffee table rather than sitting at the dining table. We've gone in twice this month and she is sitting incontinent (this is with staff sitting in the room). We've had to request they take her away to change her. They make excuses when asked why. There are no other residents for her to talk too they always seem to be in their rooms and at times she is the only one in the lounge for long periods with no stimulation. Her mood is low. We will be looking for a new care home.
I am sorry that you are not happy with your mother's care. I know that we have responded to your complaint directly and have taken action to address the concerns raised. I hope that you will see the changes that have been made but if you wish to move your mother to another care home we will provide any assistance required to ensure a smooth transition.
My mother is in Northlands, the care is ok some staff are really good others no so. I feel she got really good care when she first went in but somethings are lacking. I think the home needs some decoration and looking tired. The staff needs to have more interaction with residents. Food is ok not always hot, + nicely presented.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a review for Northlands. We are always happy to receive feedback from residents and relatives. I am sorry that you have experienced some issues with the care and support. I know that we have reached out to speak with you directly about these issues so we can address your concerns and implement improvements. I hope you will see the improvements soon.
It is important to appreciate the care, attention to details, the understanding and absolute professionalism constantly presented by the entire staff of The Northlands Nursing Home towards the care and support of my friend.
I have to say I am very happy seeing the way she was supported and cared for while in the above care home. She was treated in a person centred way, well supported with a great deal of professionalism, respect and courtesy.
From the care home manager, to the staff nurse, the carers and the entire team, I want to say A BIG THANK YOU.
More power to your elbow
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience at Northlands Nursing Home. It is always good to receive feedback and I will be sure to share your review with our caring and hard-working staff team at Northlands.
I visit Northlands Nursing Home once a month to do a communion service. I have between six to thirteen residents at a time. I sometimes visit at other times. In my experience, the staff are always friendly and engaging with me. The residents always look happy, well cared for and dressed appropriately. The staff always treat residents, family and friends with respect at all times.
Thank you for providing a review of Northlands and your positive comments. Thank you for providing support to our residents with their spiritual needs.
My father was admitted to the home in October 2023. The care provided to him and his family was excellent to date. staff work hard to understand his needs, particularly with eating and communication. A couple of minor issues were raised with the manager, dealt with quickly and efficiently. Residents are treated as individuals with their choices being taken into account in care planning.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. I am pleased that you have had a good experience and your issues were dealt with quickly.
My husband was admitted to the home in October 2023. The staff was very welcoming from the start and the family has always been shown kindness and support.
Thank you for your review and kind comments. I will pass your compliments on to our care staff.
I found the care and home excellent. Very helpful staff always going the extra mile to make residents and relatives comfortable and happy. The residents look very happy, safe and secure, which makes life in Northlands Nursing Home feel like a big family. The rooms are spacious, bright and clean. Plenty of activities are carried out every day and professionals come into the home regularly. Management is present every day in the home being involved and helping all the time making herself present! I'm so happy to be part of the team and I will recommend Northlands Nursing Home with all confidence and trust!
Thank you for taking the time to provide your review
Staffing levels are a concern to me. Most of the regular staff have been there for a long time and are welcoming and helpful. However, more recently, there are lots of unfamiliar faces about the place, and the staff look weary and rushed. Standards of cleanliness around the home have slipped a little also. Having said that, my mum seems relatively happy and relaxed around the regular staff, who seem to work incredibly hard.
However, we are currently in the biggest...
Very good experience of the home and care provided so far.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of Northlands.
Overall, this is an extremely well-run care home with great staff well directed by the manager and senior care team.
Thank you for your review, your kind words are greatly appreciated by all our colleagues at Northlands. I am pleased that your mother is enjoying the activities and that you like the improvements to the sun lounge and garden.
My uncle has been in 6 months for recovery from a stroke and the home and staff are excellent with him. Made him feel so welcome and at home. The staff and manager do their best to care for all of the residents and are so great with all of them. Thank you so much.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a review and for your positive feedback.
Her room is adequate for her needs, and we have added some of her own furniture, pictures and photos, which have made it more homely for her.
She is treated very well by all the staff, who are very caring towards her and treat her with dignity.
She celebrated her 100th birthday there, and we were given a lot of support from the home, which made her birthday a very memorable occasion.
The home is well run with very good and capable senior staff, who always make time for you.
Thank you for your review; your feedback is welcome and appreciated. The 100th birthday was certainly a special occasion, and it was memorable to receive one of the last birthday cards sent from HM Queen Elizabeth II.
The new signing-in method at the entrance is supervised by a member of staff, so a very safe environment. The door to the resident's area is coded separately to keep out intruders and to keep the residents safe if they have a tendency to wander. My mum was washed and dressed very nicely and was having seconds of porridge for breakfast as she had obviously enjoyed her first bowlful. The staff moved Mum and me to a separate room so we could chat so that there was no chance of spreading Covid to the other residents - and I wore a mask the whole time, even when Mum and I were alone. Although Mum has dementia, she is happy and settled at Northlands and is happy to see the staff. It is easy to tell when Mum is not happy as she will sit and mutter to herself and tell herself that she needs to go home. This doesn't happen at Northlands, as she feels like one of the family and has a routine that she is happy with. Lovely care home.
Thank you for your review and your kind words, which will be appreciated by everyone who works at Northlands.
My father has been a resident of Northlands for over five years. When he first arrived, he was extremely frail and very ill. The care, dedication and attendance of the staff have enabled him to flourish and regain his good health. Recent and ongoing improvements to the home have transformed the physical attributes of the building, which is now inviting, modern, comfortable and clean. Dad is always treated with respect by the staff, and he particularly enjoys chatting with them, sharing anecdotes and stories from his past, as well as hearing all their news. The staff at Northlands always show Dad, me and the wider family respect. They share any concerns and involve him and us in his care. To sum up - Dad has regained a sense of purpose. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. I am pleased that you are happy with the care your Dad receives and the improvements that we have made to the building. Your Dad is certainly enjoying running a critical eye over all our improvement works to make sure everything has been completed to a high standard.
Of course, there are difficulties, largely due to the Government's failure to fund the care sector adequately. The staff and management at Northlands do an amazing job of coping with these problems, which are not of their own making. I would give them all medals (not to mention much better pay and career prospects). They so deserve it.
Thank you for your review. I hope that the government also listens to your views about the need to fund social care properly.
My mam has been in the home now for 14 months. I don't have any worries or concerns about the level of care she receives. I understand how difficult it is to get staff, so once the home is up to full staff long level, they will be able to spend longer with the residents. You're doing a good job, team Northlands.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. As you note, staff recruitment has been incredibly difficult over the last 12 months, but recent improvements mean that several lovely new colleagues have joined the team.
Northlands is a wonderful caring home. The manager and staff know each resident personally, which is a great comfort during these difficult times. The home looks great, and the rooms are spacious. I love the decking area outside.
