My parents have been living together at Henley House for 4 years now. From the moment they moved in, I knew I had made the right decision for them. The staff and management are wonderful. They are kind, caring and respectful. The activities that are provided are amazing. The home is beautifully clean and tidy, and the rooms are stunning. My sister and I visit most days between us, so we can see first hand how Henley House is run - it's like being with family on every visit.

Since my parents have been in the care home, a few years ago now, they have been very well looked after. The carers are so kind and understanding. The activities put on for the residents are amazing, and the meals are excellent. All the staff are very approachable, but one of the managers wasn't quite so much when she was at the home. I was so pleased that my parents moved into the care home we chose for trhem and it is the best decision we made for them.

We have been humbled by the care and attention that mum has received, not just during the period when dementia became a serious threat to life, but throughout the whole of her stay. A lovely home, staffed by lovely people, and very easy to recommend.

Couldn't have wished for a nicer home than Henley House. When mum moved in, obviously as a family we were worried how mum would adjust, aswell as the family accepting this new normal. Henley House has become mums home aswell as feeling comfortable for the family to visit. Mum has a beautiful room & private ensuite. There's so many activities scheduled, which I like to get involved in too, Activities staff do a fantastic job. You can clearly see, that all the staff love what they do, they are so caring & have a natural nurturing nature. Knowing mum is well cared for, helps to relieve the worry we had.
Thank you for your very kind words, we shall share these with the team. Reviews show those looking for care for their loved ones, what to expect from personal, experience but we also appreciate the support you give Mum, and as it's her home, it should also feel yours and free for you to visit at any time. Thank you again.
