Mum has been a resident for many years and she is very happy; continually telling me how lovely all the staff/carers are and she really enjoys the activities & food. The management team are exceptionally knowledgeable, understanding, empathic, and not only have a listening ear when raising any minor concerns, but they do resolve very quickly. I have recommended the home to friends who's parents are also needing dementia care and will continue to do so, without hesitation.

Since going into Orchid House, our father and our family have been shown nothing but kindness and understanding. It was a difficult decision for us all for dad to leave his home but the transition was made a comfortable as possible and it's lovely to see him safe and settled.

Mum's health sadly declined late last year so my brother and I visited a few local care homes to gauge which might be most suitable for mums needs. We were immediately impressed by the skills and knowledge of the Management, nursing and support team at Orchid Care, and the warmth, friendliness and care displayed by all. When deciding on a care home placement it should not just be based on the decor and facilities. Making both the resident and visiting family and friends feeling welcome and secure in a homely comfortable atmosphere is paramount and I'm pleased to say Orchid Care truly delivers in every department.
Thank you for these kind words of recommendation, it is a difficult to choose the right care home for a loved one. The team at Orchid are professional but also very welcoming, kind and caring, we are glad are happy with the choice you made.
