All the staff are professional and caring especially in welfare and cleanliness of mum. She seems to be busy when we visit (lots going on) and cared for, fed and entertained. What more could we ask for. Thanks to all.

My sister has received extremely good care both medical and social. The staff are always responsive, caring and understanding. My wife and I are also treated with kindness and courtesy. When we come we are treated like members of a big family. This uplifts us as well as my sister. The manager has his fingers on the pulse of the home and he seems to have the knack of responding in a very positive manner. It is a lovely care home.
My parents had very different care needs but both were extremely well cared for. The home had the flexibility to cope with my father's need to be as independent as possible and my mother's need to have more support. Staff have shown respect and great care and sensitivity.

Although Mum loves being in her own home, Skylark for her was like having a holiday in a 5 star hotel. She is already looking forward to her next stay in 2018.

The home is beautiful but more importantly, the majority of staff and carers are friendly and approachable. They all know my mum by name from the chef to laundry staff and cleaners,...

We are grateful for your constructive feedback of all aspects of care within Skylark House and we are delighted with the positive comments and scores. We are sorry to hear the bed did not meet your expectations on this occasion. These are profiling beds that we are using in our home and are designed to provide comfort and promote independence to get in and out of bed by using the control to raise or lower the bed. This should not prevent us from delivering the service that you expected.We do appreciate your feedback and we will, of course, undertake a review of your dad's bed at Skylark House and aim to come to a solution to your request.
My husband enjoyed his stay at Skylark and hopefully will be able to go there for respite care again.

The management and staff at Skylark House Care Home have been wonderful in their nursing care provision to Mum and Dad. In the last hours of Mum's life, the care and compassion given to her was truly superb and reflective of the devotion given to their roles. The reassurance that comes with knowing that all concerns will be dealt with in a speedy and resolute manner is really comforting - including the excellent connection to local medical services. Additionally, the comfort, cleanliness and facilities of the new home are much appreciated when compared to others that were viewed.
