I enjoyed three lovely days with my uncle. It was a short visit because I come from abroad. Each time, it was easy for me to book myself in for lunch and to have the use of a wheelchair for my uncle, so we had several outings together. The premises are spotlessly clean, and the staff were always friendly and caring, as well as reactive to any requests. I am grateful to all the staff for looking after him so well.

Initially, there were some teething problems, but they now have an excellent team who work hard to ensure that their residents and their families are well taken care of. The management are approachable, whatever your concerns and where able, they are addressed. There are various rooms for the residents to come together, tea room, garden room, cinema, bar and library together with the sunny garden (weather permitting) and of course the interactive boat.
The care team and nurses are responsive and caring and show genuine empathy towards both residents and family members, the domestic team work extremely hard to keep it exceptionally clean and tidy.
Sadly, Dad recently passed away, I cannot thank the staff at all levels for the care and compassion they showed to Dad and our family.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass on to the teams.

My husband and I were very reluctant and apprehensive for our son to go into care due to our ages. Unfortunately, this became necessary.
He is a former Royal Marine who is seriously head injured.
Admiral Jellicoe House was our first and only choice, and we were delighted when he was selected as one of the first residents last year.
This Royal Navy Benevolence Trust Home, in my professional opinion, is exceptional. The staff, from the home manager, the nurses, the carers and the ancillary staff, are excellent.
My husband and I are relieved and happy that our dear son is in your care. Most importantly, he is very content.
We are relaxed in the knowledge that everything is in good order.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate the kind words. Kind Regards.

My mother moved into Admiral Jellicoe House in August 2022 when there were only eight residents. Although it was a new build it was well layout and the decoration was good. The staff at the time were very happy with any enquiries. Since the home has filled up more the number of staff has increased and all the staff I have dealt with have been approachable, polite and very useful. Also as Admiral Jellicoe House has employed its own staff it has been better for the residents because they get used to talking and dealing with the same staff. I have been very pleased with the quality of care that my mother has received. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I will pass it onto the teams.

My mother was one of the first residents to move into this brand-new home, from day one she was made very welcomed by the management and staff teams. She has been happy in this home, compared with the previous homes. The staff team are very supportive, my mother is now unable to walk, so is hoisted daily, the staff team try to involve my mother in daily activities, when she is willing. If she does not want to leave her room, they try to bring the activity to her. The facilities are excellent, the food looks lovely, the environment is excellent. One year on, my mother is still happy with the home, the regular monthly relative meetings are very helpful, the monthly email newsletter, activity sheets and menus are great to receive as a relative.
Thank you for your kind words. I will ensure that they are passed onto the team. Thank you.

My husband became a resident in August 2022. Initially, there were some teething problems but they now have an excellent team who work hard to ensure that their residents and their families are well taken care of, my husband seems to have settled very well since becoming a resident. All the staff bend over backwards to support the residents and their families. Unfortunately, my husband is unable to be at home but Admiral Jellicoe House is the next best thing. Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you very much. Those are lovely words, we appreciate it. Thank you.

The home is still in the process of settling in and is working extremely hard to obtain high standards. While there have been some teething problems, the management is receptive to feedback and quick to make improvements. The care team and nurses are responsive, caring and show genuine empathy towards both the residents and family members. The facilities are amazing, and the domestic team work extremely hard to keep it exceptionally clean and tidy. Although there is room for improvement in communication and protocols, I am confident that with time, I will be able to give the home an excellent rating overall. I am very happy with the care my dad receives and look forward to seeing the small improvements required for me to give an excellent overall.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions for improvements. We are committed to ensuring high level of care for our residents and receiving the feedback is priceless to continue to improve. Thank you.
My husband was accepted and moved into Admiral Jellicoe House in July 2022 and we have been grateful foe everything done for his comfort. He has been very contented and happy and we have no issues as his various problems have been dealt with.

From the conversations that I have with the residents, I can tell that they adore the staff and are always kept busy with various activities and functions happening throughout the home and outside of the home. I think it’s really important that we don’t forget about our veterans and I urge anyone reading this to pop along for a brew and a chat with the incredible individuals that live and work at Admiral Jellicoe House.
Thank you for your review. Our residents really enjoy chatting with the serving members of the RN and being in the Naval environment. Kind Regards, Jade Delaney.

Clean, light and airy, the premises feels larger on the inside than it looks from the outside with wide corridors and spacious rooms. With lounges and dining rooms on each floor, the residents get to socialise more with their immediate neighbours and quickly build new friendships and companions. Plenty of organised daily activities, cinema, bar and hairdressers. The staff being so friendly and helpful it makes for a friendly and happy atmosphere throughout the home.

One thing that stands out is their commitment to keeping the family well-informed about the care and well-being of their loved ones which is greatly appreciated and goes a long way in building trust and confidence in the care home.
There is also a wide range of varied activities on offer for residents, ensuring that there is always something fun and engaging to do. My parents also tell me of something especially delicious cooked up by the chefs every week!
Finally, Jellicoe House Care Home is a brand-new facility that has started off on the right foot. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the care home as a whole provides a caring and compassionate environment for its residents.
Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate your comments and will pass them on to the respective teams. Kind Regards, Jade.

From the moment I brought her there she was happy. The staff treated her as though she was their own mother. She was cared for in every aspect. She loved all the various staff members. She enjoyed the chats, the special cares and attention and, especially loved the food. Which was, in my view worthy of a five star restaurant.
She was very comfortable in her room and appreciated the bed which could be lowered, ensuring easier access.
She enjoyed the activities and was so happy when she was asked to work in the shop, it gave her pleasure and made her feel important.
Whatever concerns our family had were addressed immediately and professionally.
Sadly, Mum died unexpectedly a few weeks ago. I am comforted that her last months were so happy.
My heartfelt thanks to all at Jellicoe.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to make a difference in mums life. She will be sorely missed. Kind Regards, Jade.
