During lockdown had not seen dad for 4 months until today. It was good to see him, he looked well - such a relief to see him after all these months.

I can only comment on today's visit. It's the first one because of lockdown. The overall experience was very professional. Easy procedure on entry.

I've been impressed by how well the team at Knebworth have managed during these very difficult times. We have been able to keep in touch via FaceTime and the home has always been good at keeping us informed of any medical developments.

When my father became ill, they went the extra mile to look after him and try to rehabilitate him back to independent living and when he was dying, allowed my brother, mother and I to be with him at the end -just after lockdown in April.
During these tough times the staff have worked hard to keep the residents safe and today was the first time I have seen my mother since that time-socially distanced in the garden - and it was wonderful!
I was worried that she may not recognise me - as she suffers from dementia -and that she would be stressed with having had no familiar family around her for months, but I could see that she had been well looked after and the staff had helped her grieve.
A true home from home amongst family.
Was always made welcome. They looked after my brother very well with a lot of care. He was very safe in the home.

From the first time we entered the home we have been treated with courtesy and made to feel welcome. The staff who look after my dad always have a smile and treat him with a friendly warmth, and show him a kindness which is much appreciated. They keep the family very well informed on his care, and this provides us peace of mind that he is well looked after. Everyone, from office staff, reception and carers always try and help and are very supportive.

My friend and all her visitors have always been treated with the utmost care, friendliness and consideration. I have never heard her complain about anything. She repeatedly tells me how happy she is and how she enjoys the food. I do really appreciate the standards of this home and offer my congratulations. Long may it last.
The care given to my mother was beyond reproach. I can not thank them enough. The staff were so lovely, polite and caring. I would highly recommend this to all my friends and relatives. We could do with more places like this all over the country. Security was highly satisfactory.

Lovely room, excellent meals, I was able to share Christmas dinner with Mum and the other residents. All staff helpful, caring and professional - they went out of their way to make Christmas special.
Mum (93) went for rehabilitation following a hip replacement. The facilities and the food were amazing. The staff were exceptional, friendly, helpful, understanding and competent. Mum had a great stay and left ready to cope at home following their help.

My mother was transferred from hospital to the home, for end of life care. Although only for a short period, during this time, she was treated with dignity, kindness and compassion. All members of staff were supportive and caring.

Hi, I’m Claudiu. I qualified as a General Nurse in 2015 in my home country of Romania. Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Deputy Manager in a 78-bed nursing home. I was impressed by Care UK’s structure and its values, which closely align with my own.
I believe a Home Manager should be reliable, proactive, supportive and a good listener. My favourite part of the day is seeing the difference our team makes to residents’ lives and knowing that we are making a positive impact every day.
One of my biggest career highlights was commissioning and registering a new care home with the CQC. I’m proudest when I see residents happy, safe and feeling part of our big family, as well as seeing team members develop and succeed.
The most important part of my role is ensuring residents are always treated with dignity and respect, while making sure team members feel listened to and supported to make a real difference to residents’ lives.
Outside of work, I enjoy football, travelling and spending time with my family.
