My dad had the best care, he was loved and taken good care of. The staff treated my dad with so much love and dignity, everyone went above and beyond for both my dad and my family. Such a warm loving place to be. He passed away there on 9th January 2024 at the age of 93 years old with dignity and surrounded by staff that loved him and took good care of him. Everyone there is amazing, it gave us peace of mind knowing he loved it there and the fact all staff were so kind and nice. He had vascular dementia and became bed bound but the care he got never changed even at the end. Can't thank them enough for all they have done for both my dad and my family. He died with dignity. He was there from January 2023 to January 2024. What an amazing care home, keep up the good work.

My husband came to Bowes House via NHS on end of his life. Since then because of the first-class care and attention, we have received from all the staff looking after him, his dementia is negligible and even being bedridden, they have managed to get him in a chair. He is happy and contented and accepts freely that this is now his home. The staff are all great and I have every faith in them. Since Bowes House, my stress levels are low and I don't have to worry about my husband's welfare. Three months and he is still alive. Thank you.

After a questionable experience at another care home, Bowes House Care Home was a breath of fresh air. We were welcomed, prior to booking, and invited to view the facilities and meet the staff who showed an interest in my wife and explained their philosophy of care. It was obvious that other...
On admittance, my wife was not easy to look after but their kind and positive approach won her over and she was able to trust the staff for the rest of her stay, the staff achieve much that I had not been able to do and I have booked, already, for a further stay in seven weeks. Thank you all.

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.
