I have a friend who is a resident at Dovehaven Grove. He really has settled in well. One of their senior members of staff has been very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for her to help my friend. The rest of the staff are great and go above and beyond to ensure my friend is well cared for.

Thank you very much for the 5* review. Your comments are much appreciated by the whole team. Kind regards.

Not been inside the care home due to Covid 19. Mum has been a resident since Sept 2020. Mum settled much more quickly than we had expected. Mum seems happier now and we know she is safe, well, clean and cared for 24 hours a day which puts our minds at rest. The care home now has a pod so luckily we have been able to visit Mum. The staff are always very helpful, kind and accommodating and look after Mum well.
Thank you very much for your review, we appreciate your comments and are happy to know that your mind is at rest. Kind regards.

After an initial settling time I am quite happy with the care of my mother, she seems happy and carers always seem kind towards her, considering she can be quite a stubborn person and strong-willed. Under the current Covid-19 situation, I have visited a couple of times and what I have seen I am happy with.
Thank you for your glowing review, we really appreciate your kind words. Myself and the team at Dovehaven Grove cherish our residents and strive to make our home a happy environment.

My father was put into Dovehaven Grove at the very short of the lockdown. We obviously haven't been able to visit. When we phone we are always warmly welcomed. Nothing is too much trouble. The friendly staff ask lots of questions to get to know all about dad. He has settled brilliantly. He has stopped using his walking frame and has rosiness in his cheeks!
It is a pleasure to have your father with us; he brightens up our day. Thank you for your kind words.
I am writing on behalf of my husband, but he tells me the meals were excellent. The bedroom is comfortable. Pushed him in a wheelchair in the garden, did armchair exercises. Let me speak to him which we both found good due to the lockdown. If for any reason he had to go into the care home, we would...
I am writing on behalf of my husband, but he tells me the meals were excellent. The bedroom is comfortable. Pushed him in a wheelchair in the garden, did armchair exercises. Let me speak to him which we both found good due to the lockdown. If for any reason he had to go into the care home, we would recommend this one. He has vascular dementia.
Thank you for your kinds words, your husband was a pleasure to have stay with us.
