My father has been a resident of Fleet Valley for 12 months. He is 99 yo (oldest resident) is sight disabled, has hearing difficulties and short term memory problems. Having initially expressed concern at entering full-time care, my father has fully embraced the experience and regards the facility as his 'home'. This is undoubtedly due to the exceptional consideration and care offered by every member of staff! From cleaners to catering, carers and co-ordinators together with exemplary management. I cannot praise or thank their service enough (on behalf of my father & myself.)

Very pleased that my mother is a resident at Fleet Valley. The carers, managers, house keepers, nurses, chefs, etc. are all lovely and their interaction with residents is lovely to see. They all treat residents with care & compassion. The atmosphere is calm and has the feel of a happy friendly home. Lots of activities and fun events. I have recently seen guide dogs visit and ponies. Baking, music and games keep residents entertained and included. Good food.

A while ago I was in a bad place, a drunken wreck. I fell and broke my hip, hospital, then i came to Fleet Valley. At first I said I would only stay a month. However, within one week I chagned my mind. All the staff from cleaners up to management are spot on. They all give me my independence which I appreciate and value very much. I would not move anywhere else. Fleet Valley is worthy of a very high mark.

I will always be grateful to have been given a place here at Fleet Valley Care. Everything about it is perfection, I cannot praise it enough. My two sons think the same and know that I am safe and happy, they do not have to worry about me at all.
