Mum came here straight from hospital following RTA and multiple injuries. Rapid, efficient assessment and transfer. Made to feel very welcome and mum settled quickly. Has taken a little while to deal with all mum's problems and co-ordinate with GP and hospital but aware of multiple nature of mum's injuries. Lovely staff who have developed a good relationship with mum and got to know her. Nursing care very good and attention given to fluids and nutrition.
Staff are very helpful, caring and approachable. Mum has settled well into her new environment and now calls it her new home. She is very outgoing and has made new friends in a short period of time.

Bowes House is a warm and friendly place with a great team and atmosphere. The team worked really hard to ensure Mum's every need was met. Mum had a beautiful room with an en suite wet room, she had a lovely view over the fields. Mum enjoyed socialising with other residents and also using the hair salon and beautician on a weekly basis. The food was excellent with a good menu choice each day. By the end of her stay at Bowes House Mum had regained her confidence and was able to return to independent living in her own home. Thank you to all the team for making Mum's time at Bowes House so happy. Bowes House is like a 5 star hotel with care.

Lovely rooms, well appointed with a nice view. Very friendly and helpful staff. The food served was of the highest quality. The physio team worked in a fun way to get the best out of my mum's rehab.

She loves the activities and talks fondly of everyone there. I really can recommend this home, it is expensive but seeing how my mother has regained her zest for life again - it is worth it.

My mother has been a resident of Bowes House since 7th February 2015. At first for several months she found it difficult to settle in as she has always been so independent. However she is very settled and joins in all the activities that are available.

Mum came in for a period of respite care. The standards at Bowes House including the staff cannot be faulted. Excellent, well done Bowes House.

Absolutely delighted with the level of care, kindness and support for both residents and family members. My grandmother was given a dignified and happy end and we could not have asked for more. Everyone here is lovely and has such a good understanding of people.

Mum came here from 5 weeks in hospital where she had lost a lot of weight and wasn't eating. The care in Bowes House has been fantastic. The staff are caring and sensitive. Mum liked the food and felt very secure. I cannot thank everybody enough.

I am a highly experienced Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife, qualified in India in 1993, with over three decades of diverse clinical and leadership experience across India, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom.
In 2015, a deeply personal experience - caring for my mother during her battle with cancer - became a turning point in my career. Following her passing, I chose to transition from hospital-based care into the nursing home sector, wanting to improve the quality of life for older people. Over the past 11 years, I have worked as a Home Manager and Peripatetic Manager across groups of nursing homes, specialising in complex care including brain injuries, learning disabilities, and dementia.
I remain deeply passionate about elderly care, taking pride in providing personalised support. Each day, I value having meaningful engagement with residents, especially those without regular visitors, and I believe in maintaining dignity, compassion, and respect in every interaction.
