My father spent the last 18 months of his life at Devonshire House, when he was too ill to live independently. Despite his initial reluctance to move to a care home, he was very happy and well cared for there. The staff were exceptionally kind, cheerful and friendly, often going out of their way to help him. The home itself is well-equipped with very pleasant communal rooms and beautiful grounds. Dad's room was relatively small but had a spectacular view across the garden to the surrounding countryside, which gave him great pleasure. The family is very grateful to the staff of Devonshire House for making his final months as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Excellent service, all staff.

I visit my friend at least once a month. The staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. I am always offered tea/cake. The gardens are wonderful and well maintained - it's a lovely place to visit.

Over the last three years, we have had Uncle, and Auntie, in this wonderful place, we visit often, we are always impressed when we visit, everything is tip top, the attention to detail, the great attentive care givers, the ease of access to all staff and management, both in person, by telephone...
The Manager is a wonderful person, she identifies your personal needs as well, she is supportive, informative and has helped us as a family through some very difficult times, we cannot express how much this has helped us.
We enjoy all the Open House days and functions, they are well supported and conversations between other family members within Devonshire House brings out everyone's praise for the wonderful location, the staff, the food and the ambiance.
It shows that these places can be a perfect answer to care of our elderly. A great "Well Done"
Everything seems to go very well. Food and drink are given with very good satisfaction. Meals are good and usually served well. The staff are good. The food seems to be enjoyed and it is always hot when served.
