Skylark House

My mother had never intended or indeed wanted to end her days in a care home. Having now spent a few weeks at Skylark House, my mother has made such a remarkable recovery from being on End of Life in Hospital prior to her arrival. She absolutely loves everything about staying here, and I cannot speak highly enough about the support I, as a family member, have received.

Couldn't have been better cared for - lovely staff.

I really enjoy living here. The staff are so kind to me, and the food is good.

My mother passed away on 15th November 2021. I can only thank everybody at Skylark for the amazing work that they do.

I am happy here!

I wouldn't think I could be happy in a care home, but I am! The food is very good! Staff are caring and loving! My room is beautiful and always clean! Very pleased!

I feel very confident that she is in the best care possible and that is very important to me and my family.

On the last week with the lockdown, we became very concerned about what appeared to be our Mother's lack of response when talking on the phone and on the Friday asked for management to contact us to discuss our worries. No such call was received. Early Sunday morning emergency vehicles were called and on Wednesday morning very sadly she passed away.

I am made to feel part of the family and called by my first name by all the staff.

We have been impressed by the caring nature of the staff who treat everybody as individuals. The nursing care my dad has received has been exemplary and we would have no hesitation in recommending Skylark House.

I cannot speak highly enough of all who work in Skylark thank you.

Food and drink, the new chef just commenced and new menus look very encouraging. I am a resident and have been at Skylark since May 28th 2018. Since moving here I have had a mastectomy operation and was looked after with kindness and dignity. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and happiness. Entertainment is varied and enjoyable. When weather permits the gardens are well tended and are a pleasure to walk and sit in. Special occasions ie BBQ, Christmas parties are outstanding. I can only sing the praises of Skylark House, Horsham. Long may it continue.

My mother moved to Skylark House almost three years ago when her dementia meant that it was no longer safe for her to continue living in her home. I cannot say how much I and the rest of the family have appreciated the wonderful care and attention our mother has received. It has been a great comfort to know that she was being well looked after and cared for. All of the staff have been fantastic.

My mother has now been in Skylark for six weeks, and we have been impressed with the care she has received on the nursing wing. The staff are very caring and after having visited several care homes in the Horsham area, I feel we have definitely made the right choice for my mother.

My mother has been in Skylarks since early August, at 88 years old, she was needing full-time care and was living on her own. I live in Australia, and so when she first entered Skylarks, I was a bit apprehensive. I knew that my siblings would have everything on hand, and they would only choose the best for our Mum. I was so pleased to see that they had a facebook page, I could see photos of her joining in on the activities, intact I see pictures of her several times a week doing different things that the wonderful carers arrange. It is easy to contact her by phone, and when I speak to her she is aware that she is staying there and no longer asks to go back home. I visited her earlier this month, and so I was able to see for myself that she was very well. Her room is wonderful and so is the care home. It has beautiful grounds. I was able to take her out for lunch and coffee when I liked. Dogs are allowed in too, this is fantastic for the residents. Overall she is very happy there.

I have been very pleased with the care dad receives here. Most of the staff are very warm, kind and cheerful. Some are delightfully cheerful and enthusiastic others more quietly kind. I feel my dad is safe and very well cared for. He is becoming frailer and dependant and this has been dealt with real compassion.

Lovely home with helpful and friendly staff. My Nan gets involved with activities and has made friends, enjoys her food and is happy there.

Beautifully kept care home with friendly, caring and professional staff. Mum has very quickly settled in and seems happy.

Any questions or requests I have made on his behalf have been dealt with. The general atmosphere here at Skylark House is one of "inclusivity" involving the resident and family.

Such a welcoming, bright, light and spacious home. The carers and staff have always been very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Skylark House.
