My experience of Candlewood House has been very good. My aunt was very unwell when she arrived and was sadly only Candlewood House for a very short time. The staff were lovely, caring and respectful and made sure she was comfortable as possible. The staff took very good care of myself and my family when my aunt sadly passed away. I was sad that she wasn't able to enjoy all the fabulous facilities and food and would recommend this home to others.
Thank you for your kind words. We're sorry for your loss and are glad we could provide comfort to your aunt and support to your family during this difficult time. It means a lot to know our team's care made a difference and we appreciate your recommendation.
The palliative care my wife received was absolutely excellent. Candlewood is second to none in the care home business. I can not fault it in any area. My wife's end-of-life experience was carefully handled with dignity.

I have liked Candlewood from day one. I would give it even 10 stars. They care for my husband's needs no matter what. He is very happy and comfortable here. The food, care, and support he gets here are good.

This is a very high-quality care home. The facilities are modern and luxurious and very clean.

Mum seems to be happy living in Candlewood House. She is enjoying the company of the staff and how everything is so clean and tidy. I also feel this knowing Mum is in the best place possible, where she will be safe and fulfilled in her last years. Standards are high at The Candlewood and it reflects in the prices. This is my only worry for the future. At present, I am very happy with the service that has been provided and the caring staff who look after Mum.

I'm here to support, inform and reassure when considering care for yourself or a loved one.

My career began in Dubai, where I worked across several luxury properties as a Guest Experience and Guest Relations Manager, building a strong foundation in service excellence and personalised care. Two years ago, I moved to the UK and joined TLC Care as a Hotel Services Manager, first at Cooperscroft and now at Candlewood House. With 10 years of service experience. I am dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming environment where every resident feels valued. I believe that care is more than a responsibility - it is service from the heart delivered with dignity, compassion, and genuine human connection.
