My mother gradually became happier as she stayed on at Acacia. The cleanliness is excellent there, her privacy respected with good security plus a lot of patience. We feel at ease with the staff and my experience is that they know me by name there. There is a tea/coffee area or even a library (or bar!) if you want a break whilst visiting. My mother has been at Acacia about five years and, although she is challenging at times (with dementia), I have never heard a deprecating remark about her. She is less frightened and generally watches her favourite TV programmes whilst watching over her dolls. Her hair is carefully trimmed.

Mum has been at Acacia Care Centre for a whole year this month. The time has really gone quickly! She was admitted to the centre straight from the hospital and not in the best condition. She was thin, hardly eating/drinking and had a major pressure sore on her left heel. It was black! Now she has reached her optimal condition, she has gained weight and is eating/drinking satisfactorily. The pressure sore is completely healed and she's alert and smiley and back to her old self. Due to her dementia, she does need total hands-on care which is delivered at a high standard.
We deeply appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience with Acacia Care Centre. It warms our hearts to hear about your mother's progress over the past year. It's truly gratifying to know that she has reached her optimal condition and experienced such positive changes. We...

This December they had so many activities on for the people here, Christmas carols, games, pets at therapy, Christmas and New Year’s parties and dinners.
The food is amazing and fresh every day.
This centre is amazing and if I had to use one again I would use this centre again.

A lovely clean place with a nice outdoor/garden area for residents. A friendly, welcoming and caring staff team led by a wonderful supportive manager. They all clearly cared about my dad and looked after him so well.

Our dad was taken to the Acacia Care Centre in February 2023. Sadly, he passed away in June - but those months he spent at the centre, being looked after by management and the team were a huge comfort to our family. Dad was very ill and was treated with such care and dignity. Each time we visited we were made to feel incredibly welcome and we know that, even in the short time he was there, our Dad was very well looked after. We had thought long and hard about putting him into such a place but we knew from the moment we went there and met the team that we had made the right decision.

It feels like a partnership, which makes us feel very comfortable when we are not there, knowing that Mum is in good hands. The home is very clean, and Mum is always clean and well-presented whenever we visit. Plus, they arrange activities and entertainment for the residents, which are great opportunities to attend and join in as a family member.
A big thanks to everyone who works at Acacia – from the management to the carers, the kitchen staff and all the support staff. We really appreciate all that you do to make this a comfortable, caring and safe space for Mum.

I am writing this review to support Acacia Care Centre in the work that they are undertaking with the elderly and those in need. My sister has been on prescription drugs from the age of 14 and suffers from mental health challenges. She has been in and out of both hospital and care homes for many years. She was accepted into Acacia Care Centre by the manager and has been looked after by two of the staff members. When everyone wanted to give up on her, they stood by her. I would recommend Acacia Care Centre. From the manager to the two staff members who look after her, the professionalism, advice and welcoming smile you get from the reception team. They are capable employees who have shown a loving and caring spirit. They are thoughtful, professional and very understanding. I would not hesitate to recommend the care home to families seeking a safe space for their loved ones.

Acacia Care Centre has been amazing with supporting all our family as our family member transferred from hospital to a residential setting for the first time. They were so kind and helpful at a time when it was most needed. I would like to fully reassure that all our fears of what could happen never materialised and we are so happy and grateful that our family member is so happy. The staff there are the magic that help you see your loved one adapt in a home-from-home environment. We feel that they are happy, thriving and the staff were quick and eager to really get us all and then fine-tune the care. We were very grateful that we secured a place at Acacia and want to thank the team for the high-quality authentic care and sense of community they create.

On entrance this care home is warm, friendly and clean, lots of information on hand if needed. On entering the floor I needed I was welcomed by lovely staff, quiet and very clean, my friend looked happy with a big smile.

The care home is very welcoming, clean and very professionally run. My Auntie has settled in well. She says staff treat her very well. My Auntie has gained quite a bit of weight, may be due to medication. It would be nice to have more physical exercise.

Nurses very good, facilities and food good. Good activities and activities staff. Reception always helpful and friendly. Manager always approachable. The only negative is fixtures and fittings a bit 'tired' and maintenance not what it could be ie broken furniture, window latches.

As the Home Manager, I take great pleasure in being actively involved in all aspects of our home.
With my nursing background, I understand the significance of delivering the highest quality care possible. I believe it’s essential to involve our residents in creating their care plans, allowing us to provide the support they truly want and need.
I aim to make a positive impact that resonates with our residents, as even the smallest gestures can make a difference. At our care home, I work closely with both staff and families to ensure we create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. I encourage open communication, and I am always available to listen to residents’ concerns or suggestions.
Witnessing our residents and my team share laughter, smiles, and special moments brings me immense joy and reminds me daily of the meaningful work we do together.
