My mother was only in Tallis House for about five weeks and during this time we were very happy with the care given to her and the kindness and personal attention she received.

This is my only experience of a care home, so unable to make comparisons but all in all seemed quite satisfactory in most areas. Management excellent.
Both my mother and father were in Tallis House over a period of a few years until they passed away. I cannot fault this care home, staff are amazing, especially the manager and her team, they always had time to discuss things with me and they always treated my parents with both dignity and respect...
I could not have wished for them to be in a more caring place.
Both my in-laws were in Tallis House over a period of a few years until they passed away. The staff are all amazing, very helpful, caring and always treated people with dignity and respect. I really don't think they could have got better care anywhere else.

Both our parents were here at Tallis House and throughout their time they were treated with dignity and respect in clean accommodation.
In less than 2 years, I've not seen my mother so happy where she is and it's all thanks to the staff and management of Tallis House.

As you can see from my review, my answers are all "excellent" for Tallis House and therefore it speaks for itself. Since my friend entered Tallis House she was treated with great respect and dignity, she was truly at home and extremely happy. The staff were very good with her needs until her final days. Once again, respect was shown and all I can say is a big thank you to all the staff.
My relative was a long term resident of the home (7 years) and whilst not everything was perfect, she was well looked after and cared for. Especially in her final weeks.

My friend was looked after exceptionally well in Tallis House. She loved it in Tallis House and her room was brilliant. The care she received was exceptional. Beyond belief. The staff loved her and she loved them. I, as her friend, was completely overwhelmed with the help she received during her stay. When she became unwell they treated her with dignity and feeling. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
Good staff always helpful, too many good things to mention.

My father never complained to me about anything and I feel he was as happy as he could be in his circumstances.
The staff were always helpful, polite and friendly. The day he passed away, the staff were thoughtful and thorough. I will never forget the care the staff gave my father while he was at Tallis House. Thank you.

My aunt has been resident in Tallis House for 3 years until yesterday (15th May 2016) when she sadly passed away. I cannot stress how the care for my aunt by the carers at Tallis House was. They were absolutely brilliant, they were with my aunt in her final days and final hours and treated her like their own family member. I am very impressed with the care she was given at Tallis House.
I really like it in here at Tallis House. Everybody is kind. It's nice and clean. I like it better than the place I was before. I've made a lot of friends.

The care my nan received at Tallis House was second to none. She received so much love from the carers, we couldn't have wished for anything more.

I began my career with Runwood Homes in 2009. I started as a carer in Tallis House, care team leader, deputy manager and now I’m a home manager. My ethos in my role is that with great teamwork, we can achieve anything for our residents and their families, and all our staff members contribute to the success of our home. Our residents are at the centre of everything we do at Tallis House.

My name is Grace, and I am one of the Deputy Managers at Tallis House. I began my journey with Runwood in 2017, returned in 2023, and have been proud to work here ever since. I love working with a fantastic team, improving the quality of life for our residents, and embracing the fact that every day brings something new and exciting.
I hold an NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care, as well as an Access to Nursing and Midwifery Diploma. A fun fact about me is my obsession with sausage dogs—they’re my absolute favourite!
In my spare time, I enjoy watching crime documentaries, going ghost hunting, and spending quality time with my family.

Hi, I’m Catherine, the Home Administrator for Tallis House, where I’ve proudly worked for 14 years. I truly enjoy being part of such a dedicated team, connecting with residents, and getting to know their families.
I hold an NVQ in Administration and have a quirky habit of turning random sentences into songs! Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring new restaurants and indulging in great food.
