Review from M B (Father-in-law of Resident) published on 28 November 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I visit my father-in-law on a regular basis, the manager is always so warm and welcoming whenever I visit they are always doing different activities. The staff at Life Care really do care. The home always smells lovely. I think this is important for a care home. The staff really do care and treat the residents like their family. There are always lots of fun things going on. Thank you so much.

Review from Denise F (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I have been absolutely delighted with the standard of care and kindness my mother has received. You can tell the staff really like my mother - and the other residents. The health care support, too, is on the ball - excellent. They try to stimulate and encourage the residents to do things and take part in activities. The manager and deputy are approachable and encourage feedback of any type. Huge thank you. It has changed my life to see Mum happy!

Overall Experience
I have lived in this care home for over five years, and I am very happy. We all have a buzzer to call for help when required. The carers here are very polite and attentive. We have an activities lady who helps us to keep our minds and bodies active. The food provided is very nourishing, and we always get a choice. We all have our own rooms and possessions.

Review from Lorraine S (Relative of Resident) published on 20 November 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I can not praise the efforts enough of the new home manager and deputy manager for turning Life Care around. They have made a massive difference to the residents, families and staff. Everyone is so friendly and more approachable giving a lovely atmosphere when visiting my relative.
Well done to all the staff and everyone and thank you all for your hard work.
