She was always treated with dignity and respect, she was happy and always had a smile for them, or a little nickname, nothing was too much trouble. Sadly we lost Mum in May this year, but when other charities or company's say they are there for you, but they aren't. It is different with Abbot Care Home, we the family still matter, they check to see how we are doing.
If you are looking for a care home for long term care or respite care, from my experience I would recommend them and the staff who work there.

Dear family member Thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind and thoughtful feedback, it truly means a lot to all of us .We're so pleased to hear that your mum is still as happy now as she was when she first arrived, it's the best reassurance we could hope for. Knowing she feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for is exactly what we strive for every day. It's lovely to hear that she enjoys the food and appreciates the friendly chats with our activities team. Even the smallest interactions can make a big difference, and it's heartening to know they brighten her day. We also appreciate you raising the suggestion about installing a dishwasher in the unit. At present, dishes from KFI are taken to the main kitchen for cleaning, as space within the unit itself is quite limited. However, we absolutely understand your concerns around hygiene and staff time, and we will be following this up to see if there are any potential options or improvements. Best wishes
