Church Farm at Skylarks

I come to visit my friend now for over a year and every time I come the staff are very friendly and kind to both me and my husband. I always see the staff working well with all the residents helping them do activities and with anything that may need doing.

My husband is settled and seems quite happy most of the time, his general care is good. The staff are nice and my husband's primary carer treats him well and seems to have a good understanding, my husband co-operates with him most of the time.

The staff at Church Farm at Skylarks continue to care for my father and his wife with the utmost sensitivity and kindness. When problems have arisen, they have been dealt with at the earliest opportunity and always appropriately. When I visit, I am always so impressed by the warmth of interactions between staff and residents.

I am happy with the care my husband gets. Staff are helpful and friendly. You are always made to feel welcome.

My mum has been in the home for almost 2 years. The home works really well considering they have residents with dementia at all stages and she has been treated with dignity and well looked after during that time. The staff are really friendly and try really hard to ensure the residents are happy. The lady who provides entertainment is fantastic at putting on lots of activities and getting most people to try something. Outings are well planned and lots of laughter had by all. A monthly trip to see a film is always appreciated by those who go. My father who's in a different home is taken to see the film and staff from both homes ensure they can sit together and hold hands.

My dad has been in your care since January 2015 and during all that time he has been cared for in a very professional and caring way. When dad was first admitted there were very trying and difficult times all of which have been overcome thanks to the excellent care provided. Type 3 dementia is a dreadful disease but every single resident is different and each and everyone has to be treated accordingly. My mum and I would just like to give a big thank you to all the carers at Church Farm, which has been a difficult time for all the family.

Dad says "they all like me here" which reflects how they talk to him, they are affectionate, humorous and accepting of the residents. The staff teams work well together to create a stable, happy, organised and efficient environment for their charges to live safely with support but also to exercise choice in as much of their life as possible.

No complaints, staff are friendly and helpful. My father seems very settled.

My mum has now been a resident at Skylarks for almost 3 years. We chose this home as it was very different from all the others we visited. Skylarks has a family feel. The decoration is bright and welcoming, and the focus is very much on the individual and their needs. We have found all of the carers to be kind, friendly and endlessly patient. They genuinely care about the residents and have good relationships with them. Although Skylarks is a long way from where we live, we would not want mum to be anywhere else.
