Review from D C (Son of Resident) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been a resident here for over 2 years and I cannot praise the staff highly enough.
The carers are very friendly and compassionate and the Manager and nursing staff are always available to speak to you. Telephone updates are always given of any care issues and the whole atmosphere of the home is very professional and friendly including the laundry staff and chefs.

Overall Experience
My mum has been a resident for just over 2 months. Dementia is such a terrible disease, the staff at Nightingale are fabulous with her and understand and care for her individual needs. I really could not be happier at the level of care and telephone updates I receive. Great place, great staff.

Overall Experience
My mother has been in the home for a couple of months now. I have found her care to be very good. The staff are excellent with her and know how to get around her moods.
The room provided is spacious and comfortable. Exterior doors are secure so we have no concerns about her wandering.

Review from L C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 November 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The care home went over and above with my mother-in-law for her 80th birthday. They baked her a cake and sang Happy Birthday. We really appreciate the effort. They also gave us a separate room so all the family could be together.
Thank you.

Review from C A (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 19 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
They allow too low staffing levels here in my opinion. It's not the carers' fault. Management even admitted they were understaffed in a recent phone call. You never know when someone will come and help with food, when they will do personal care, etc. Invoices are always on time, so why not medication? I have raised these concerns in meetings with management in the past and it's got worse. It's just not somewhere I would recommend for residents who need a consistent routine. This care home was in special measures in the past, I hope for the residents' sake it doesn't get that bad again.
↩Reply from Arti Mohammed, Provider at Nightingale House
We take all feedback seriously and strive to improve the care we provide. We reluctantly issued a 28-day notice, these concerns were never raised prior to this. Resident had not raised any concerns directly. This family member has visited rarely in four years. Our home maintains a higher staffing...

Overall Experience
The level of care and kindness demonstrated by your team has been remarkable. We are really pleased with Mum's move to Nightingale house. The staff are welcoming and attentive. They make sure residents and their visitors are well looked after. Mum has settled well, she seems calm when we visit. We are very happy!

Review from Ian M (Son of Resident) published on 6 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mum has been in residence in Nightingale House since January 2024, she arrived there following a 3-month stay in hospital after falling ill. From the first week of her arrival, we noticed a big improvement, the manager met with us and we discussed my Mums needs, she had arrived very much underweight and with a bad wound on her back, in a short space of time she gained weight and the wound started to heal. Now 7 months later Mum is fully recovered and is enjoying life in Nightingale house. The staff from top to bottom are all clearly dedicated and do 'care' for her in every way. When we visit we are always greeted by smiling faces who make us feel welcome and I hope they know how much they are appreciated. I had dreaded having to place Mum in a nursing home but I was wrong, she is happy and cared for and we have the peace of mind knowing that thanks to all the hard work and compassion of the staff.
I would not hesitate to recommend Nightingale House to anyone.
↩Reply from Arti Mohammed, Provider at Nightingale House
Dear Ian, thank you for your kind words it is always nice for our staff team to hear about the wider impact their work has not only on our residents but the positive effects it can have on family members too. Placing a loved one into care can be daunting, we do try our best to support with the...

Review from R T (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has been a resident here for approximately 3 months now. It has been such a relief for us all that the staff and everyone associated with Nightingale House have been so welcoming and caring with Mum. They really have made a tough time much better as we all know of the extremely kind and welcoming environment she is now a part of. Nightingale House have done everything possible in making my Mum settle in as best as possible and even the change of colour in Mum's bedroom makes her feel more relaxed and at home. Little details like these are wonderful and I cannot thank the staff enough for what they have done for and with Mum. We have already noticed a drastic difference in Mum since being here and we can tell that the activities and the social aspect of Nightingale House really is doing her good! Thank you to all the staff who go above and beyond for Mum every day, I cannot thank you enough!
↩Reply from Arti Mohammed, Provider at Nightingale House
Dear R T, Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, we are delighted that you are happy with the care your mum receives. We understand that placing a loved one into care can be a challenging decision to make and we try our best to make the transition as smooth as possible for both the resident and their relatives. Best Wishes.

Review from Mike S (Son of Resident) published on 26 July 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
From the moment we walked into the home we instantly knew it was the place for Mum after viewing another home. From day one all the staff have simply been amazing with both Mum and the family. It's not what you expect a care home to be like, no smell, spotless, looks like a grand house and nothing is too much trouble. One carer in particular has stood out to us and the connection between him and Mum is beautiful. All the staff from the manager down and the managing director are fabulous and nothing is too much trouble. When we visit we are provided with drinks and snacks and always asked if we would like to stay for a meal. Mum has been here just over a month and is very settled, joining activities and as a family we are extremely happy with Mum's care. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a family member. Thank you again to every single member of staff, you are valued and appreciated, 5 stars are not enough on this review.
↩Reply from Arti Mohammed, Provider at Nightingale House
Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your kind words. At Nightingale House, our philosophy is that we work in our residents' home, rather than them living in our place of work. We are here to care for your loved one, but also to ensure that their family and friends always feel welcome, as this is truly THEIR home. The team is delighted by your feedback, and we deeply appreciate it. Kind regards.

Review from C M (Son of Resident) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My dad came to Nightingale House after suffering an acute stroke. The care he received was exemplary, the friendly, capable staff helped in any way possible. After a few weeks, my dad passed away in the home and this was dealt with respectfully and with dignity. The care home is very well run and managed and I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering a nursing home in the area.

Although my mother wasn't a resident for very long, she received great care and was treated very well. All the staff I came into contact with were excellent. As a family, it certainly set our minds at rest.

Review from Cheryl J (Ex Family Member) published on 16 November 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law was a resident for almost 6 years. She was well loved and cared for and most importantly respected and treated with dignity. The refurbishment throughout the entire home is of light and calming decor. A beautiful large garden space which we used frequently throughout covid 19 which allowed us to see our relatives. Before covid, there was lots of entertainment and visits out to cafes, pubs and shows which my mother-in-law loved.

Review from Emma M (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Nightingale House Care Home is an example of how a nursing home should be run and is a credit to the manager and her team. My mother has been at Nightingale since 2020 and I can say she receives the highest standard of care in this nursing home. I have full confidence in the team; the environment is relaxed and in control and every staff member is caring and attentive to all the residents. The home is recently refurbished and immaculately clean and not the usual vibe of so many care homes today. It is comfortable and welcoming and the elderly patients are content and seem relaxed and happy to be there.
My mum has gained weight from being very thin two years ago, I believe this is directly related to the excellent food in the home and the standard of care that she receives.
I have complete confidence that my mum is being well cared for in this last stage of her life, surrounded by professional care staff who really care about their patients.
