Our wonderful Dad came into Kiwi House in December 2018 when he needed extra care when his Alzheimer's became worse. The staff were amazing with him, very patient and we couldn't have asked for more.
After he was taken ill and admitted into hospital, we were able to let Dad come back to the home for end of life care. The amount of love he was shown in the last few weeks of his life is something the family will never forget and we will be forever grateful to everyone involved.

Well I visit my friend quite often and have to say that she is very well looked after and so am I on my many visits. All the staff are so caring and always happy, the food looks very nice and I have had the pleasure of having a meal and it really is to restaurant standard. Kiwi House is so clean and is well maintained and the decor is fabulous it really is the care home in Derby and believe me I’ve seen a few in my time. I would without hesitation recommend Kiwi House to anyone who is looking for care and to carry on living life to the full.

Kiwi House was one of the very few homes in the area that was recommended to us by health care professionals, family and friends. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious. Having a large en-suite wet room is great and the outside patio area will be lovely in the spring and summer. My mum has now personalised her room to make it a home from home. The food is great, especially the lunches. The afternoon cup of tea is especially welcome. Being able to help yourself to a coffee when you visit is good too. I'd like to give a special mention to the laundry and maintenance teams - they do a great job. There so many members of staff that are helpful and caring. You can be sure that if a member of your family went into Kiwi House that the manager, care manager and his team will take very good care of them.

I have found all staff very accommodating with my very elderly Aunt and Uncle. They both really enjoy the food and the home is very clean and I feel really sorry for the domestic laundry team as they keep it all really spick and spam. Caring is always is always of a high standard and I am very impressed that the whole team know my first name. My Aunt and Uncle have after 4 weeks respite decided they want to stay and have settled in really well.

Very impressed with the caring staff, looking after my father-in-law.
He is much better since he came in July, putting on weight and a more open frame of mind. His interests and hobbies are also being fostered with his music, singing etc.
