I needed to find a care home at very short notice for my elderly mother who suffers from Dementia.

Kellie was extremely helpful in...

Stowford House is clean, light and well maintained. The staff are generally friendly and caring and both staff and management have been stable for several years. Their approach is flexible- focused on the residents, for example my parents were served their meals in the lounge. Now my father is very independent, and everyone has done their best to adapt to his wishes. The facilities are good- generous sized light rooms. Room to sit in outside or their own room. The food is great, home cooked and plenty of it!

Mum was reluctant to move to a care home but needed full nursing care. Every member of staff helped her to adjust quickly because of their kindness and respect. She was able to enjoy the activities and outings despite severe mobility problems. Not last 6 months were spent at Stowford House and we could not have asked for better care from everyone.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your mum's time at Stowford House. We understand how difficult it can be to make the move into full nursing care, and it's reassuring to hear that the kindness and respect shown by the team helped your mum to settle so well.

My Mum stayed at Stowford House for a respite break in July '25. She was kept safe and comfortable during her stay, which happened at a time of hot weather which must have been challenging for everyone in the home, and her time was enriched by the opportunity to go out on a trip with other residents. The manager and deputy-manager were both very approachable, and worked quickly to resolve any questions I had as they arose. The staff were lovely, incredibly kind and caring, and It felt like they cared about Mum and her experience, even though she was only with there for a short time. Another strength was the activities programme, which offered lots of opportunities for people to get involved in wellbeing activities. I would have liked to see a bit more time and attention given to Mum's food and her skin care, where she has some challenging specific issues, but overall I felt this was a good respite break, would use again, and I was very touched by the kindness and atmosphere of the home

Our aunt became a resident in February 2025. She has suffered a fall at home and spent time in hospital.

If I have one thing that is disappointing it is the cleaning of my mother's room which could be better. Also my mother needs a straw in order to drink her tea and other drinks, because of the collar she wears. Unfortunately very often she isn't given one.

My mother has been resident in Stowford House since February 2023. It is an extremely friendly home and she is very happy there. All residents are treated with respect and they are persuaded to join in the varied activities wherever possible. Christmas 2024 has been a particular highlight with carol services, a Christmas party and then, in the new year, a pantomime which have been much enjoyed.
It is wonderful to hear that your mother is happy and feels a part of the family at Stowford House, also that the varied activities are warmly received. We are pleased you could join us for our festive events and enjoyed them as I know we did and look forward to our future events.

After qualifying as a registered nurse, I specialised in elderly care, working as a nurse consultant and modern matron. This role involved managing several community hospitals and an NHS nursing home, which naturally led me into the management of care homes. Throughout my career, I have been committed to ensuring high standards of care.
I am deeply passionate about providing residents at Stowford House with the highest quality of care and support. I firmly believe that every resident deserves a tailored approach to their care, allowing them to live happily and meaningfully while maintaining the freedom to choose the support they wish to receive.
Building strong relationships with residents and their families is essential to me, as I recognise the vital role these connections play in the effective operation of a care home. My door is always open for any conversations or concerns, and I am dedicated to fostering an environment where residents feel valued, respected, and truly at home.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, attending the theatre and keeping active through regular strength training.
