Kendal Care Home

Excellent nursing home. The staff and management are lovely and helpful. Carers are friendly and very caring, nothing too much. My mum is very well looked after unlike when she had to stay in a different care home (horrific place), which left her in bed and didn't care if she ate or not (she's diabetic), the staff never spoke. Just grunted at you. Kendal Care Home couldn't be more different. Carers really look after her and take time to talk to her. It's a massive weight off my mind, knowing she is very well cared for.

I can't express enough appreciation to Kendal Care Home for the care and dedication given to my husband. He has complex needs and nothing that is asked if the staff or nursing floor is of any bother for them. They keep me informed on all aspects, and they are a credit to the care home. Anyone considering care for a loved one, this is the best home you could consider as I have visited a few homes over the years and without a doubt this home tops the bill for choice also, all the other staff in the home are super.

It is a real pleasure to visit Kendal Care Home. From the welcome at reception to the nursing staff caring for my mother, everyone is kind, considerate, attentive and truly professional. This facility excels in every single aspect.

Such a calm and warm atmosphere where all seems so organised and under control. The staff are extremely polite and always happy to help. It feels like a truly welcoming place. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs the best care.

After struggling with having to make the difficult decision to move Dad into a care home, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want him anywhere else. The staff are so caring, not only did they quickly get up to speed with Dad, but they also made me and my family feel welcome at any time, allowed close family to come and dine with Dad and always kept me up to date with every change or need Dad has. The environment is like being welcomed into a top hotel, the rooms are a good size with en-suite facilities and Dad has never eaten so well. The in-house services, such as the entertainment team and occupational therapist, mean the residents are stimulated and entertained, this is complemented by personal services such as hairdressers and chiropodists that visit regularly. Given Dad's state of health and needs, he couldn't be in a better place. Thank you to all the staff who provide the excellent care.

Well done!

Well done to the best team at the best care home! Keep up the amazing work you do every day.

Thank you.

I would certainly recommend the care home to my friends.

Just the loveliest most relaxed place. The staff are wonderful and all the residents seem very happy - feels like a place where "everyone knows your name". I am so glad my brother is a resident here

My friend had a degenerative condition similar to Motor Neurone Disease. She needed very high levels of help with all tasks and functions and as her speech deteriorated it became challenging to understand her. Some of her carers were exceptionally sensitive and tenacious in their efforts to understand her. The manager engaged with her on a personal level and strove to do everything in his power to make her life more bearable. Several other people - her room cleaner, her occupational therapist, the physiotherapists and the home's medical officer were warm, positive and encouraging and formed meaningful relationships with her. My friend was able to form attachments to these people and her more sensitive carers. Other carers seemed more detached and formal, giving adequate physical care but nothing more. This distressed her. The home is efficiently run. It is large but has a relaxed feel and as a visitor, I always felt welcome. My requests for help in e.g. finding a vase for flowers were always met willingly and cheerfully. I think the home succeeds as far as any large institution can, in creating a feeling of freedom and informatlity. I would certainly recommend it to friends or family members.

Well done to all!

Our friend was well cared for. The staff were happy to answer queries, in spite of being very busy. There appeared to be lots of interaction with the clients both in the bedroom and in the lounge. Our friend was very happy with the food.

As a family we have been so delighted with the level of care that my mother-in-law has received at Kendal Care Home. The staff go way beyond their duty and are constantly thoughtful preempting every need and always cheerful with it. The home is also run incredibly well and there are so many activities laid on. Visitors are made totally welcome.

Kendal Care Home is a happy place! You will always see a smile on everyone's face! Our manager is happy, the residents, staff and visitors too, will always greet and welcome you! The residents' lives are lived in comfort and in pleasure, their wonderful rooms where to live in complete leisure. Their own en suite room if they prefer to shower, or a nurse will help you if you so desire. I must mention our foods that our chefs prepare! Better than any food you could find elsewhere. Our manager will talk to you if you need to discuss, you are important to him!

My dad has been in Kendal Care Home for one month. The staff are very kind and attentive and my father is comfortable and well taken care of. The food is excellent and varied. The management also takes time to listen and act on feedback.

My husband has received excellent care and support from all the staff at Kendal Care Home, nothing is too much for them and help is always on hand. The facilities are very good and the food is always excellent and varied.

We are so pleased that we managed to get a place for our father at Kendal Care Home. All the staff, from Management down are very approachable and appear happy in their work. This happiness then seems to spread through the home so it doesn't feel like a care home, more a luxury hotel! Nothing we ask is too much bother. When we visit it is like visiting extended family. We are always made to feel very welcome. My father has everything available to him that he could wish for, a beautiful garden, lots of space within the home, so many different activities it's impossible to list them all. The nursing staff are very caring and know the families of their residents. Can't rate Kendal Care Home and its wonderful staff highly enough. Thank you to everyone who works within the home.

My aunt was a resident here and I have never seen her so happy. The standard of care that was given to her was outstanding and they met every care needs she had. They cared for her with compassion and built a trusting relationship with her, they treated her and us like family. The nurses and carers were so thoughtful and kind and helped us understand and make appropriate care choices for what her health issues needed. The management team are always approachable and so welcoming when you arrive and always has an open door when needed. The wellbeing team do such a great job for the residents to always have an activity on and asking everyone to come and be included. The food and beverages are also great and having a dining room so everyone can eat together makes it feel like a home. My aunty loved it here and called it 'home'. My family can't thank the staff enough. Thank you all at Kendal Care Home.

My mother has been in the Kendal Care Home since July 2024. She had been resistant to having care at home never mind going into care at all. However, she has settled well and the many questions, requests and issues raised have been patiently worked through. The staff have been kind and patient. The management team are accessible, approachable and responsive to questions and chatting with visitors. My mother has been encouraged and enabled to live well in this home and as a result seems to be thriving.
