Devonshire House

My mother is a resident at Devonshire House and is very settled and feels wonderfully looked after. I cannot praise the staff strongly enough who are always welcoming, friendly and above all kind. The staff always go the extra mile in what must, at times, be a challenging job. I am particularly grateful for the way my mother feels secure and safe. The staff have managed to enable her keep her dignity in old age.

My only concern is that the staff receive reflective enumeration for their hard work.

Corporate Anchor need to use some of the large cash surplus from last year to reward these staff in some way . They certainly go over and above and three of them attended mum's cremation service which meant so much to my sister and myself. We both are eternally grateful for the way in which you looked after our mum.

It is a truly amazing home for its residents.

It is a privilege to call Devonshire House a home for my Mum. The place itself is a joy to visit. The staff whether it be the caring, administrative, maintenance etc are all a pleasure to be around. My mum although stroppy at times, is really enjoying her time at Devonshire House. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their time and dedication to caring for my mum

My grandad was forced to move from previous carehome due to them closing. Devonshire House has been so supportive in granting him a move to them assisting is making sure he settled in well and couldn't have made the move any better. He is very happy there says the staff and food are really good. The staff ensured that what was a difficult time become a really easy transition. We are very happy that a 101yr old gentleman has found a new and comfortable place to be

In my experience when visiting my mum, the staff are supportive, helpful and friendly. Devonshire House is welcoming with very nice lounge areas/ rooms and conservatory to use when visiting. Mum has settled in quickly in 2024.

100% highly recommend

My Mother has been at Devonshire House for 30 months. It has become her home and she feels really safe, secure and well looked after. She loves the fact that the house is full of character and truly feels like an individual home with warmth and charm. The Carers are superb and always go the extra mile. It was recently my Mothers birthday and her room was decorated with banners and they even had a cake with a candle that they brought to her room. My Mother is treated with dignity and love which means everything.

The quality of the care here is really good, exceptional to be honest. My wife was here for six years and on the whole I feel it is good value for money. The home is spacious and always smells clean. The grounds are lovely in the summer and the residents enjoying using them. I've always enjoyed my visits here, I always feel comfortable and part of the family.

My mother has been at Devonshire House for around six months now and is very happy there. The proof of this is that after a recent hospital stay my mother told me that she was looking forward to going back 'home' to Devonshire House. This proved to me that she feels safe, secure and well cared here. My mother has a beautiful room with outstanding views to the garden. All of the team here are caring and friendly bar none. Mum has been in other care homes but if we were choosing again we would still pick Devonshire House. Bravo.

The staff are so very friendly and kind; the home is exceptional. The staff know all my family's names and my dog's name (who visits everyday and is always welcome) which makes my family and I feel very happy and content. As my husband can no longer live with me due to his health conditions, it really puts my mind at ease that I feel he is being looked after so well at Devonshire House.

Since my mother-in-law became a resident at Devonshire House in January 2025 - moving from a care home in the north-west of England - I have been constantly impressed with the quality of care, the exceptional standards of cleanliness and maintenance in a beautiful historic building and the attention to my mother-in-law's particular circumstances and needs. In the past she has not always found it easy to settle or make friends, but she has easily managed both in Devonshire House and we have seen her uncharacteristically willing and even eager to participate in activities and to socialise with her fellow residents. The staff have kept us well informed and could not have been more responsive.

The village of Cavendish is beautiful; likewise the grounds and gardens of Devonshire House, which can at need be enjoyed from inside the large conservatory. We visited a number of local care homes before settling on this one and we remain certain that we made the right choice.

Very kind caring staff.

I spent two weeks in respite care after a replacement hip operation. Everything impressed me in Devonshire House. The room, the beautiful garden and conservatory, the wide areas for eating and relaxing. Most of all however was the wonderful attention of the extremely caring staff, so kind and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. It really felt like home from home. I am very grateful.

the staff are always happy to take a phone to my mother wherever she is in the home when I call her, and are always polite and helpful. The combination of facilities and great staff make it.

My mother stayed for 2 weeks of respite care to allow me to go on a much-needed holiday. My mother had a lovely garden suite room with en-suite & small kitchenette area. My Mother was very appreciative of the level of care & attention she received. She enjoyed the meals & ate really well whilst she was there. The staff were all friendly & caring. The activities were well organised & my mother enjoyed herself. She came home looking bright & healthy. And, she is eager to return in September for another holiday! The Administrator, in particular, was very kind & patient in organising my mother's stay. The home is very clean, comfortable & the gardens are beautiful. Thank you for your care & attention. Much appreciated

It is very comforting for us to know that my mum is being so well looked after 24hrs a day. Also a big thank you to her carer who has been really helpful and helped with any concerns that we did have.

This care home is amazing. My mum has recently taken residence at Devonshire House and the professionalism and knowledge of the staff has made this process less stressful. The care home is home from home actually probably better than home! Warm and cosy, spotlessly clean everywhere, no smells that you sometimes come across in some care homes. The catering is good, lovely home cooked food and as the chef walks through he checks everyone enjoyed their meal. The bedrooms are spacious with a large bathroom and modern shower. Cosy bed linens. To find somewhere so lovely for my mother after such a stressful time means I can finally get back to a life and routine again. Mum seems happy and settled and she seems very much at home. I can highly recommend Devonshire House with no hesitation.

Lovely surroundings, gardens and facilities. Caring staff who made my mother at home and comfortable.

My mother moved to Devonshire House a year ago and has been very happy there. The staff are wonderful and kind and really get to know the residents well. They are always on hand when she needs something or simply to stop and chat. It feels like a home from home.
