Mum went into Orchar Care Home on I think Monday 15th of June I have been extremely pleased at the level of care and so much more given to her at Orchar Care Home. I visit a lot and the no of carers on hand to help the residents is excellent and they always seem so friendly and cheerful. In the most positive way, Mum is encouraged to participate at the daily activities. She really enjoys the food and looks forward to her meals. Her room is very comfortable with a very comfy/cosy bed. There are so many good things to say about Orchar Care Home and I am very thankful mum ended up there.
It's a real pleasure getting to know Mum and caring for her each day. Thank you for trusting us with her care - we truly appreciate it.
This is the loveliest place I have stayed. This has made me very happy. Staff are great. They take me on walks and to church

Mum has now been in Orchar for 6 weeks - during this time ALL members of staff have been kind and attentive to her needs. The standard of care has been exceptional. She receives excellent nursing care for a variety of complex needs. Accommodation is wonderful - I cannot recommend it more highly!

I have found all members of staff to be kind, courteous, helpful, friendly, considerate and nothing is ever too much trouble. They have helped my godmother settle in well. Offer a wide range of activities, but she is free to decide if she'd like to participate or not. She is back eating, as at home she ate very little. Care home and her room are spotless and dining room is welcoming. Very happy as she is with Orchar.
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. I will share these with the rest of the team at Orchar.

An elderly relative experienced a couple of weeks of illness, leaving her unable to look after herself at home.
At very short-notice, we were able to secure her a room at The Orchar for a period of respite while we arranged care at home.
From the moment she arrived, the staff could not have been kinder nor more attentive. The staff gently encouraged her with her nutrition, exercise and engagement with the other residents. As a result, she very quickly began to feel like her old self again.
She thoroughly enjoyed the food, the attractive communal areas and the privacy of her spacious room.With care at home arranged, she was able to leave after 3 weeks, having made many new friends and some special memories. She has been back to visit and was given another warm welcome.
I would definitely recommend The Orchar, for the quality of the care provided and the peace of mind it gave us as a family.
Thank you so much for your kind recommendation and feedback . Everyone at Orchar Nursing Home is delighted to hear that the care, communication , and supportive atmosphere brings reassurances to the family .
Staff very helpful when required. All my needs are looked after. I loved getting out and about.

My mother is very happy and settled in Orchar House. The staff are attentive and very kind to the residents. My Mother had a wonderful 100th birthday which would not have been possible without the staff going above and beyond to make her day so very special.

My mother was a resident in Orchar Nursing Home for 2 years until her death at the age of 92 last month. My family and I all agree that she could not have been in a better facility. At all times she was treated with the greatest respect, attention and love by the staff that went above and beyond the call of duty. I would have no hesitation recommending Orchar to anybody in the future and will always be grateful to all the staff that cared for her in her final years.
Thank you for your kind words . We're so glad to hear that our care brought comfort to her and your family .
My friend for which I have Power of Attorney, is frail and has very little eyesight. Staff have helped her in relinquishing the independence she has enjoyed always, both personally and professionally. She chose Orchar for herself a number of years ago, and I believe she made an excellent choice....
My friend for which I have Power of Attorney, is frail and has very little eyesight. Staff have helped her in relinquishing the independence she has enjoyed always, both personally and professionally. She chose Orchar for herself a number of years ago, and I believe she made an excellent choice. Within the constraints of a nursing home environment staff provide as natural a home as possible - activities are especially varied, interesting and fun.
Fantastic staff. Very clean. Good food. Plenty cakes and snacks. I could not ask for a better care home to take care of my elderly father.
