If you are considering a care home for a loved one, I would not hesitate to recommend Knebworth. What a team! My mother's care is amazing. She is so happy. What a relief that is to the whole family. The GP practice attached to the home is extremely helpful and caring. Well done.
For the short time my brother has been a resident here I have seen nothing but friendly, happy and supportive staff. To be honest, I wouldn't mind moving in myself.
He always looks clean and well kept. He has become slightly more alert but is still confused at times. It would be nice if he could sit in the lounge a little more often if at all possible. I am happy with the care he is receiving up until now.
From the first day of my mother's admission, I have been quite overwhelmed by the level of care provided and the positive and friendly demeanour of the staff across the board. Nothing is too much trouble for these wonderful people. My gratitude to all.
Clean and tidy with good views.
Like the cat.
Food is good and tasty.
Physio has been very useful.
Mainly very good. The staff are generally polite and friendly. She seems to have settled now. Staff have responded quickly to any comments or requests made.
First time at Woolmer Green care home. My wife has special needs and she was looked after very well. I would recommend their services. Excellent!
Dad has been treated with kindness, empathy and compassion. He looks so much better and as a family we are very grateful and relieved. Thank you Knebworth.
Our son-in-law has been in the Home for 5.7 years with a terminal illness. He has been incapacitated from the start, unable to mobilise, feed himself, turn in bed, and has been treated with gentleness, respect, and care by all members of staff. He has not even had a pressure sore. The manager changed soon after he arrived and has made a tremendous difference to the efficiency and atmosphere of the Home. During the pandemic, the situation was well handled for both residents and families. Before choosing the Home we explored many others in the area and this stood out as exceptional. One test we had was whether a smell was evident on entering and at no time was that the case here. We cannot recommend Knebworth Care Home highly enough. We are thankful we found it and will miss visiting. We were made to feel part of a family. We visited several times a week and were always welcomed.
It has been a very difficult time for residents and relatives. The care home has always tried to keep everyone safe and relatives up to date. No easy task for them. Overall my poor husband could not be in a better place and my heartfelt thanks go to all the staff.
I was treated very well during my stay in Knebworth Care Home. The staff were kind and helpful. The physiotherapy was excellent and I was encouraged all the way. Owing to covid restrictions there were few activities to join in but Wimbledon on TV helped to fill the gap. There was excellent coordination between the home and my local authority Social Services so that my home was ready for me to return home to and stair rails, bath board were soon delivered and fitted and today grab rails were fitted to outside doors.
Knebworth is a very friendly and efficient care home. They have made my mothers recent move both easy and stress-free. Most of all, in the few months of being part of the Knebworth care home, it is evident that they do care!
My mum was so against going into a care home but the care received from Knebworth care home totally changed her views. She feels safe, well-fed, and cared for. The staff act very professionally and with feeling. She considers herself lucky to have such a nice environment, as do we. Thank you, Knebworth.
My room was spacious and well-lit and furnished; the toilet generous and a view of railway coach roofs, very interesting to me being a railway fan. Due to my hip injury, I never left the room apart from a change on the first day. The corridor was busy outside my room and loud banging related to fire doors. I heard regular sad sounds of those in serious trouble and gave a thought to those who minister to them. I was surprised and a little disappointed that no one spoke to me of my plight as such, or had any thoughts about future treatment. At least I had a restful time and had the pleasure of meeting many of the staff and not to forget some excellent food.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re grateful for your comments and positive scores around the facilities, rooms and food at Knebworth. We will share your feedback with the NHS team who provided your treatment. The team at Knebworth would be very happy to welcome you back should you have a...
I have no words to express my gratitude to the team at Knebworth care home. My husband has been in their care for the last three months until his recent passing due to a brain tumour. The care, love and attention he received was incredible and nothing was ever too much. Their approach to all challenges was driven by humanity, love and support for the patient in their care and their loved ones. I am eternally in the debt of the home manager and her excellent team.
I experienced kindness from everyone connected with my care and a sincere wish for my comfort and recovery. Most importantly, I was given assistance whenever I became anxious.
She had a lovely room, good food and the staff are fantastic. There is a nice garden, which has French doors open in the summer, and a cafe area where we used to sit and have a drink and everyone is very friendly. During the lockdown, we had Zoom calls, and although sometimes she was away from her family as we were not allowed to see her due to restrictions, I felt reassured that her Knebworth Care Home family were looking after her.
As her Alzheimer's progressed, Mum received specialist care from knowledgeable and caring staff.
She sadly passed away peacefully in March, but I will not forget the kindness shown both to her and my family.
She really loved living at the home.
I have spent a very happy time here and I was worried about my hearing problem but everyone understood and made sure I heard them for which I am very grateful.
Knebworth care home has been an amazing help to my family over the last three years. When my grandma and grandad moved on together to live at the care home, the carers and staff did everything they could to make them feel at home, safe and happy. They really did go above and beyond. All the staff are amazing and made my family feel part of the Knebworth care homes family, thank you.
My mother was a nursing care resident for over 3 years. My mother was extremely well cared for throughout all that time which was so reassuring with lockdown when visiting was limited. It enabled me to give my family some much-needed attention. She received good nursing care throughout her time there. Staff were attentive to both of us, well lead by the home manager which is reflected by staff staying in post, not everyone, some leave but return as they realise their preference is for Knebworth. When it was possible their relative meetings and throughout the year various social events. The home was always clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. I feel lucky that I found Knebworth Care Home. Everyone has to make their own decisions and get their own feel for a place, all my boxes were ticked.
