Monkscroft has provided wonderful care for my father and stepmother. It is a warm friendly modern home with very caring staff who have been excellent in the three years we have known them. Our family is very grateful for the understanding and care of the dementia staff and skill and gentleness of the nursing staff in dealing with the different needs of their residents. The design of the dementia unit is very good with the small lounges providing very homely surroundings. I would have no hesitation in recommending Monkscroft to anyone in need of their expertise.

For approximately two years until she passed away at the end of May, my mother was a resident at Monkscroft nursing Home. The last four months were especially difficult as she had suffered a leg fracture and was bed-ridden. Throughout her time as a resident at Monkscroft she was always treated with respect and affection. I never witnessed anything other than total professionalism and kindness towards my mother and other residents. Nothing was too much trouble and that included resident's families also. Thank you to all the staff at Monkscroft from the family for making mother's final years as best they could.
The family of my late mother wished to make a presentation of a memorial bench in memory of my mother. Her care home, Monkscroft, of The Orders of St John Trust, could not have been kinder and more welcoming. They arranged a presentation event including refreshments and a photographic montage of mums 2 years as a resident. Some of her friends, also residents attended. It was very moving and it gave the family a chance to say thank you and also a form of closure. Thank you to the manager and staff from all the family.
