The Anning House team has made the transition of my sister into a care home smooth. All queries were addressed and the move organised quickly at my sister's request. She has settled into the routine, attending the many varied activities and also trying new things, this is due to the supportive, encouraging and caring staff. As a visitor I have always felt welcome, communication and information to me from all staff since she became a resident has been excellent.

My Mother-in-Law Sara Weber has only recently become a resident, the onboarding process and communications with Sarah Kennedy was excellent, Sarah provided all the documentation and support we needed to ensure the arrival was stress free on the first day. All staff we met on the first day were very helpful and cheerful, I am confident that my Mother-in-Law will be happy and content living at Anning House. Thanks for all your help Sarah, much appreciated.

The decision to relocate a loved family member from their marital home to a care home has been difficult and fraught with concern. With little exception I have found all the staff to be incredibly helpful and caring. Questions, concerns and worries have been aired and satisfactorily dealt with. Mum's taken a while to settle, her difficulties are being attended to in a professional and dignified manner. It's still early days (just over a month) but it is looking good for the longer term and that is a huge relief.
Thank you for leaving Anning House team a review, we appreciate the time it takes and your honest feedback. We are happy to have been able to support you all through this transition to a new chapter for Mum. With Thanks Sarah
My husband stayed in Anning House for two weeks rest bite care. We found the staff to be very helpful, friendly and efficient. He was quickly made to feel at home in his new surroundings. The food was good with a choice at each meal and served in a formal dining room with care and courtesy. Our...
We choose Anning because it was purpose built with good shower rooms and other modern facilities whereas many other care homes are in older adapted buildings and we were delighted with our choice especially as friends visiting confirmed our decision
It was really lovely to be able to support you and your husband for the two weeks he stayed at Anning House and thank you for your honest feedback. Kind Regards Sarah
Mum has dementia, all the staff from reception, cleaning, cooks, care staff and management are kind caring. Mum can be very difficult, they deal with her trigger points very well. Mum is in the best carehome we could hope for. Thank you everyone for your hard work.

My 86 year old mother has end stage Parkinson's, is very thin and frail, and needs help with almost everything she does. The staff at Anning House have taken great care to get to know my mother, what she does and doesn't like, how she responds best and they have treated her gently and with the utmost respect since she arrived with them 6 weeks ago.
She is happy in her surroundings, the home is elegant and comfortable, she has a large room which is always immaculate thanks to the friendly cleaner, George. The staff are very attentive, checking in on her, and, if she feels up to it, they take her to the lounge, where she can socialise, or enjoy the entertainment that is laid on every afternoon.
I am so relieved that Anning House has turned out to be even better than I had hoped, their medical care is first rate and my mother settled in well.

Sadly my father has now passed away but there is comfort in the knowledge that his last few months were spent in comfort, with his wife and excellent nursing care delivered with compassion and dignity.
My mothers care remains exceptional and over a difficult few months they have thoughtfully helped her to adjust not only to moving into her new home but also losing her husband. They have brought a little sunshine into her life through smiles, company and various regular activities provided on a daily basis. The staff are always positive, polite, professional and above all caring and considerate. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they always offer a warm welcome.
I would highly recommend Anning House without hesitation. It has a homely atmosphere with an amazing care family.
A kind caring and well run home that were brilliant in my dad's final days. They were extremely helpful with visiting hours and the like meaning we were all present when he passed peacefully. They continue to provide excellent care for my mum

While mum was slightly unsettled at the prospect of moving into Anning House for respite the staff have gone over and above to make her feel welcome, even noticing an upcoming birthday an making suggestions to family of how they could host a party or afternoon tea and ideas of decorating. I have been kept up to date with regular phone calls and opinions sought on both care plan but general wellbeing and likes / dislikes etc. The result of the care and attention from staff is mum has now settled, regularly taking part in the broad and varied daily activity schedules planned meticulously by the activity coordinators. Mum has even had some pampering with her hair and nails done. All the staff from the reception, to the nursing team are amazing, professional, knowledgeable and welcoming and I could not wish for anything more, the combined care really gives me peace of mind and mum is thriving with the personal care and attention she receives. My thanks to everyone at Anning House

Every aspect of Mum's care at Anning House was first class. When she was able to join in with superbly run activities run by an enthusiastic team. Mum's actual care was given always in a gentle and dignified way with a caring, empathetic team - I would not hesitate to recommend. She could not have been in a better place. All appreciation and thanks go to a wonderful team.
They respected my privacy in the final days/hours and shared our sorrow. I will always appreciate the care given.

My Dad spent the last 3 months of his days in Anning House. At the time of entering, he had been adamant that he never wanted to be admitted to a Care Home, but his failing health meant that we as a family had no real alternative. However, the care, attention and devotion shown by all the nurses,...
The minute we walked through the door, we all felt the warmth and comfort, and we had no doubts that Dad would be happy there. We were without question proved right.

Anning House cared for my Dad, and it will always hold a very special place in my heart. My Dad loved the gardens, which brought him so much joy. The care and attention the gardener gives to both the garden and the residents was truly special. He always took time to explain the flowers and plants, and this meant so much to my Dad and to us as a family.
No care home is perfect, and no one wants to move a loved one into care. Could I find small things that could be improved? Yes. But could I ask for a more caring and compassionate team? Absolutely not. The staff were amazing.
My Dad celebrated his 83rd birthday at Anning House, and the team supported us to plan a brilliant celebration. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our Dad. Anning House will always hold a special place in my heart.

Luckily there was a free room. It was an easy process to organize the stay and Sarah, one of the managers supported us through this change.
Anning house is a lovely purpose built building for elderly care, welcoming, full of natural light and big window views. The staff are knowledgeable and confident in their care of residents and I was impressed that when my mothers complicated medicine regime was reviewed by staff they immediately contacted the GP for support and review of her care plan. We felt that she was in good care.
Her ensuite room was comfortable, warm and inviting.
she feels cared for, safe and has company and activities there .
All of the family like to visit and take her for coffee in the cafeteria.
She is now a permanent resident.
It would be useful to know more about what activities are offered/engaged with - perhaps through an app.

This means I feel confident in leaving him in their care so I can take a well-needed rest.
He's always happy to go there for his little holiday as well.

Having been obliged to leave Anning House after over 4 years, because my capital was depleted, I can now appreciate better the care I received there. The contrast with my current setting is marked. However, so many improvements could have been made, with very little expenditure or effort. Despite...
Do not be seduced by the provision of "Other Health Services" - just a list of what is available to all members of the NHS, not "in-house".
Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for Anning House. We will always look to take on feedback and make improvements where needed. I am pleased to read you felt the carers were caring, competent and conversational. We wish you the best.

Issues that had to be addressed, arose from two live-in carers being excellent in terms of care and support, but due to the property not providing an easy exit for a wheelchair, they could not expand the horizon beyond downstairs of the house.
Gradually the more social environment began to outweigh the two-to-one care at home.
Hoping this will continue. 4 stars due to one-morning poor experience with agency staff, not a normal occurrence.

I hold my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management, a diploma in adult nursing, and mentoring qualifications.
I decided to join Anning House because I wanted to be part of a well-respected, larger company that was part of the wider community where I live.
As a Home Manager, it’s important that I have empathy and am able to listen and lead by example. I always want to be a good role model and empower my team and others, treating everyone with respect. I went into nursing to make a difference; this can be a big impact or just the little things that make a difference in someone’s life. I’m still incredibly proud and happy to be able to continue to do this in my career every day.
Although I have a busy role at work, I like to keep busy outside of work too - I love supporting my husband when he’s playing in his band, going to nice restaurants to eat, entertaining family and friends at home, and going to the theatre, especially to see musicals.
