Mum has been a resident at Kiwi House since July 2017 and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The rooms and facilities are 1st class. The staff are very friendly, caring and approachable. Mum's care plan is regularly updated, and any new information is immediately passed on to the staff. Mum says the food is lovely, coming from a 'fussy' eater that is an excellent recommendation. Thank you, Kiwi House for our peace of mind knowing mum is in safe hands.

My mother has Alzheimer's disease and has been a resident at Kiwi House since it opened. Quite simply there is nowhere better in the immediate surrounding area. I have visited many Care Homes and have experience of several when my aunt was in residential care. I was horrified at some! The facilities are outstanding - my mother thinks she is staying in a hotel! What more could you wish for your loved one? The en suite rooms are first class, as are the individual lounge/kitchen areas, which encourage maintaining a level of independence with friendly supervision. The staff are friendly and welcoming as well as having a good activities programme and their own mini bus for trips out. Kiwi House also has a Bar, Hair Salon, Cinema Room and Corner Shop. Meals are all home cooked and offer a varied menu with a choice.
Kiwi House offers a safe and secure environment with lovely gardens and views to the rear over parkland.

Mum started daycare about 6 weeks ago and visits twice a week. Mum loves Kiwi House Care Home and has made many new friends. The standard of this home is incredible - mum loves getting her hair done. The food is 5-star and all the staff are so caring and happy - there is a great manager with an excellent team. Mum has also stayed for one week respite and she was looked after so well. We felt comforted knowing she was in safe hands. Great work Kiwi House Care Home :)

She is healthier and more sociable than she has been for over 20 years.

We looked at several homes before finding Kiwi House Care Home. Whilst it takes more than nice premises to make a good home it has to be said the facilities are outstanding. The home is on three floors depending on the need and we were on the first floor where most residents have a range of dementia type issues. There are separate living spaces with an open plan seating, eating and preparation areas. Bedrooms are spacious with en-suite wet room.
More important is the care received. From the initial entry period (difficult for all involved) to the settling in through to dealing with illness and ultimately end of life care, it would be difficult to imagine how better care could have been provided. The same could be said with the fantastic standards of all round cleanliness. Care staff were genuinely caring interested in the person and always respectful to them. The management of the home were closely aware of daily care issues, supportive to us as a family and seem to be working hard to ensure the right calibre of staff are recruited and retained. Kiwi House is the care home you would put yourself in.

My father has dementia but prefers to live in his own home. He attends Kiwi House Care Home for 2 days per week for day care. He also had a short respite visit at New Year. He looks forward to his visits and is keen to get ready to go. The staff at Kiwi House are most professional and caring. They greet dad warmly on his arrival and escort him to the dementia floor. Here he joins in the activities and socialises with other residents, thus providing the care and company that dad was desperately in need of. I can relax on the days when dad is at Kiwi House because I know he is safe and enjoying himself. They respect each resident's individual needs and quirks! I would have no qualms about recommending the home to anyone.

Having had my mother previously at another nursing home for nearly five years and now my father at Kiwi House, moving him from the other home last summer, I cannot recommend the Kiwi House highly enough. I would not consider anywhere else having visited many other homes visiting friends and families of other people. All care is of the highest standards and given me so much relief to know how well my father is cared for.

Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
