The Forge Care Centre

We are blessed to have found this place to love and care for our dad and would be devastated if he ever had to leave.

The staff that work here are amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them. They always keep you up to date. They always greet you with a smile and a hello. My mother is well cared for and very happy.

My father-in-law has been at the forge for 10 months now and the care he has received is second to none. The staff are wonderful with him and he is so happy and content. We can not thank you all enough. He is treated with dignity and respect by all staff.

I would not hesitate in recommending Forge Care Home, they have been my mum's family throughout Covid when we could not go. They treat her with love and care and I feel fortunate to have such a good care facility that is truly a 'home' and I thank all of their staff for everything they do.

Our grandma has been a resident for coming up to 8 years now and she is so well looked after. We are unfortunately not in the area to be able to visit as much as we’d like but it’s a great comfort knowing she’s in such good hands and cared for so well. The social media page is a great tool, meaning we can see up-to-date photos and things Grandma may have been up to, or just recently her birthday pictures. The times I’ve spoken to staff on the phone they’ve been extremely helpful and discussed Grandma with such kindness. We are very grateful for the staff who care for Grandma and everyone at The Forge Care Centre.

Thank you Forge Care Centre for looking after my mum.

My mother has been a resident of The Forge Care Centre since just before lockdown 2020. The staff have been fantastic throughout mum’s stay. Mum is always clean and well presented. We all feel that the staff have got to know her and tried their best to make her less anxious and stimulated. When she became ill we were informed straight away, all the options were discussed and we were able to talk it through with the GP. Her end of life care was as good as it could have been. Mum was not distressed, or in pain. We felt so relieved and thankful that her death was calm and dignified. Thank you to all the staff at The Forge.

My nan went to live at The Forge Care Centre after a long stay in hospital during covid. Even though we could not visit we knew she was not doing well. She has been at The Forge over a year now and she looks so healthy and happy, and she put on weight, she's obviously enjoying the food! The staff are welcoming and accommodating allowing a few of us to visit for a special birthday. There are always videos on the family Facebook page of activities that are being carried out and singers entertaining everyone. We cannot thank the Forge enough for the care and love they show my nan.

As a family, we have had so much stress and anxiety and are so pleased that my father has the care he deserves after working all his life.

My dad went to this care home in October 2021. Had problems with communications with the manager and staff from day one. When we took dad out he was always in dirty clothes, and sometimes hadn't even had a shower. Personal items from his room would go missing. Didn't feel like he was cared for there at all.

I cannot fault the staff and how they treat the residents. My mother in law is always clean and tidy and happy, even though she doesn't know where she is. They have great respect and great care for her, we are so grateful for the loving care you have for her, cannot thank you enough.

I would like to thank everyone at The Forge Care Centre for providing dignity and compassion for the end of life care for my 95 year old mother. The administrator competently sorted all the administration effortlessly at such short notice. She also showed such kindness in dealing with our family. All the other staff I met were committed to their job and are a credit to the centre. The decor and design of the communal areas and rooms were modern, clean and homely. For vulnerable people in their care, this must make them feel secure and happy. Thank you, Forge Care Centre for the kindness shown to my mother albeit for a short period.

I love my Mum so much and it's clear the Manager and staff love her too. She is really being looked after and for that the whole family is grateful. Well done all, Mum is happy and content. And we enjoy the visiting...everyone is so nice. And the food...just ask my Mum...she loves it!
