Thank you for your review, it was truly an amazing day and we all felt very privileged to be included in such a special occasion and your wife's nana had a smashing day which could be seen in her beautiful smile. Thank you for the treats you brought to share with us all and the beautiful wedding cake.

Thank you so much for your review and letting us be part of yours and your nana special day, it was a wonderful experience enjoyed by all who attended
The Kiwi team made such a wonderful day for our family and mum-in-law. We re-created the recent wedding of our daughter and son-in-law. Fabulous job, well done.

Thank you for your review it so nice to hear that you felt your Mum was well cared for during her time at Kiwi House, she was a beautiful soul and is missed by all.

All staff from managers, front desk, hands on carers, activity/entertainment team, the cooks, and the cleaners. (and any I may have missed) You set an example on how to be with family members, and most importantly the resident themselves. Our dad had the best nine months we could of wished for, thanks to all at Kiwi house. We could not as a family wished for better.
Thank you for your review, it means so much when people feedback to us. It was a pleasure to read how all of our team supported yourselves and your Dad over the last 9 months, his wonderful smile will be sadly missed by all, it was a pleasure to welcome you all into our home and you will always remain part of our family at Kiwi and be forever welcome.

Unfortunately we went on holiday in September 2025 the home were fully aware we left a large note on mums wardrobe door as she had dementia mum had been in the home for 2 and a half years so the staff knew her well we came back to piles of washing dead flowers in her vases things had been taken the word is stolen but the home call it misplaced and mums personal wheel chair I had bought her was taken from behind her chair in her room and used for other residents and she had had a fall and severely bruised herself to cut a long story short after a meeting with seniority with lots of documented issues mum was tormented she had her hair done every week without fail until after my complaint and she was dead by January the manager and senior stood outside having a fag.

My Mum Has Been A Resident Here AT Kiwi House For 2 1/2 Years. She gets the best care and is well looked after by all the staff. She loves the Home as if it were her own. The staff and management have always had the best interests of my Mum. I can't thank them enough - such a brilliant team

They had a person-centred approach, which showed in the individual approach to each resident.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Kiwi House. We are so pleased to hear that your mother was treated with respect, dignity, and attentiveness since joining us in December 2022.
We are now probably in the last few weeks of her life, and the way they are looking after Mom is exemplary.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It means a great deal to us to hear that your mum has been so well cared for during her time at Kiwi House.
Overall, a good experience. Staff go over and above. Sometimes feels 'short-staffed' but managed well. Very friendly. Activity agenda exceptional. Food generally good but occasionally questionable. Everyone I've encountered has been helpful and kind.

Both of my parents have been residents at Kiwi House for 18 months now, and I am delighted with the flexibility shown by the management and senior caregivers of the home. This flexibility has allowed them to stay together despite one needing memory care and one not. The rooms are lovely and spacious with room for their personal effects. The caregivers are unfailingly friendly and pleasant with big smiles. They always greet residents by their first names. My parents love the little garden with the path around it. There are many activities for them to join in if they want to, and a special celebration with a singer included "their" chosen songs because it was their anniversary. It seems as if management and caregivers really do know each individual's needs and situation and are responsive and supportive towards family members if there are any issues or questions.
Everyone very concerned to do their best for the residents. Sometimes- eg meals, staff change over pressure on staff. At mealtimes residents sometimes overwhelmed by food/drink etc.

On 5th July Kiwi House held 'Kiwi Fest', a day festival of music and entertainment for the residents, and their family and friends. What a fantastic event. The music and entertainment were excellent and there was glitter stands, food stalls as well as singing and dancing. The garden was decorated with streamers and balloons and the patio turned into a stage. It was fantastic because Kiwi provided us with such a happy relaxed environment to share fun times with our loved ones. I am sure an amazing amount of effort has gone into preparing and delivering the day, top marks! As well as this event, over the past 2 months Mum has had trips out to a riding school for afternoon tea and Newstead Abbey for a picnic, again lovely activities she has really enjoyed. All the staff we deal with are so helpful, kind and caring. I would recommend Kiwi House to others who may be looking for a care home that both cares and is a home.

When I describe Kiwi House to people I say it's "like a cruise ship on land". The facilities, care, atmosphere, food, and entertainment are all excellent. The whole team at Kiwi House have been incredibly caring and supportive during this significant change.

My Dad has now been a resident at Kiwi House for 18 months. He is well looked after by caring and hard-working staff throughout the home, who go above and beyond to make sure the residents are happy and comfortable. The team work hard to get to know the residents, and appreciate that they all have different needs and likes. They make Kiwi feel homely and safe and, therefore, give me peace of mind that Dad is getting the best care. I struggled with Dad moving into a home, but the support I've also received, and continue to receive, has been amazing.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Kiwi House Care Home. We are thrilled to hear that you feel he is well looked after by our caring and hard-working team throughout the home, who go above and beyond to make sure all the residents are happy and comfortable. Thank you.
