This was our first experience with respite care and was nervous about finding the right place while we had building work done. We need not have worried, all our concerns were listened to and supported throughout my husband's stay. Although he would have preferred to be at home with me, it could not have been a better place. The building is modern and spacious. The lounges are comfortable and quiet. The food was plentiful and delicious. Staff responded to his fear of being alone as much as possible. He was in safe hands with people who understood his dementia and protected his mobility. Thank you to everyone for their kindness to us both.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback following your husband's stay with us. It was such a pleasure having him stay with us and I can speak on behalf of the whole team, we miss having him around. Thank you for choosing Abbots Wood Manor and please keep in touch.
Kindest regards.
My mother has spent 3 weeks with you in Respite care. She has been very well looked after, the home is comfortable and lends itself to a good environment. I am grateful to the excellent team at Abbots Wood for their patience and care.

Dear Justin, thank you so much for taking the time and leaving your feedback on our home. This is very important to us to help us maintain the highest levels of care and facilities that we provide. It was a pleasure having your mother stay with us. Kindest regards, Richard.
It is a pleasure to visit Abbotts Wood. He is clearly very well looked after and is happy. The staff are always so kind and welcoming. The place is so clean and immaculate. The cafe/buffet bar in reception is mouth-watering and a great idea, the facilities are outstanding.

What a find. My sister specialises in placing elderly people into care in her role in Australia, so you can imagine we gave Abbots Wood a thorough pre-admittance review and they stood out from the other three care homes we spoke to by a country mile. Dad needed two weeks of respite care after leaving hospital and from the man that went into the home, to the man that came out just two weeks later was beyond our expectations. They couldn't have been more helpful to us, nor more solicitous and kind to Dad. The clinical manager was one of the strong reasons we chose Abbots Wood, but it was also because of its modern clean, and comfortable rooms, its amenities for the residents, and not least because it is a specialist Parkinsons unit. Dad never wanted to go into a care home, but he has had a great experience and is particularly complimentary about the food! Thank you for looking after him so well. It means everything.
Dear Natasha, thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure having your father stay with us and an absolute delight meeting him and being able to spend time with him. Our best wishes to your father and the family.
Very happy here and expect to be here a long time. Many thanks.

All the staff have been welcoming and caring for mum since arriving three months ago. The home and facilities are well thought out and presented. Mum appreciates the activities and adores the food! Visiting is well managed and safe within covid guidelines. Fantastic overall, not the most economic home but the service, facilities, and care are worth it. Mum feels safe, secure, and well cared for.
Thank you for your wonderful words - we are so proud of our dedicated team.
I can see that Abbots Wood Manor is giving my mother the very best care. The staff and premises are first class. Her homemakers are friendly, caring and no request is too much. I’m very relieved that she is being looked after there.

The nursing home was immaculate. The staff were friendly and helpful. The test procedure was very easy to undertake. I feel happy that Mum is happy here and settled in so quickly.

My mum went into Abbots Wood Manor Care Home and already looks like she’s made a huge improvement in her health. The team are fantastic and manage her needs above and beyond what is expected of them. The home's facilities are beautiful, activities varied with lots of choice and the food is amazing - mum always says when I visit how tasty lunch was. I’d highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a care home. Keep up the good work Abbots Wood Manor.

Abbots Wood Manor is a class above other local care homes in my opinion, from the home itself which is modern with good size rooms and excellent facilities to the lovely staff that work there. The stressful experience of moving my grandmother here from another home during covid restrictions was made so much easier through the support of the team at Abbots. The care she has received since being there has been excellent and she is certainly enjoying the cooking there! Communication from the staff on my grandmother's well-being and progress has been super and most importantly she is happy and we feel she is in the best place possible for her care and our peace of mind knowing she is safe and very well looked after. Would thoroughly recommend this home.
Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review - we are incredibly proud of our beautiful home and exceptional team.
All staff were friendly and competent initially and throughout my time here. My needs are met and I feel it is a family-style of personal care, which covers all my needs.
