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.

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.

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 ratio than required and operates as a group care facility. While we understand the family's expectation of one-to-one care, we aim to support all residents effectively within a group setting. The resident could access the nurse call system, and our staff is trained to respond promptly. While there may be occasional delays due to the complex needs of multiple residents, we work to minimize these instances. We are proud of our high standards, reflected in our Care Inspectorate grades, our manager's Nurse Manager of the Year award, and the highest score with no requirements at our recent HSCP inspection. We are also trusted by the dietetic team for student training, demonstrating our commitment to quality care.

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.

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!

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.

Best Wishes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
