The home is always clean and the staff welcoming. His room is excellent. He has a door to outside which is great as he has an electric wheelchair, and when spring comes her can go outside. The food has been hit and miss, and the quality could be better. Food prices are stabilising now, so residents should see the results of this. Let's hope so.
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you find the home clean and the team welcoming, and that the room and outdoor access work so well, especially with his electric wheelchair.
We also appreciate your comments about the food. We continually review our menus and suppliers to improve quality, and your feedback helps us with this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Lovely staff and clean facilities. Staff are always visible and engage in a nice manner with the elderly. I did not see any management as I go on weekends but all staff is managed in a proficient manner.

The care my mother received at Garfield House was very good. They were kind, thoughtful and attentive. The home is clean, the food is good and the rooms are warm. The staff are brilliant and we can't thank them enough for looking after our mam for the last 5 years of her life. If I had to sum up Garfield House in a few words it would be 'They are a safe pair of hands'.
My dad came in here after suffering a bleed on the brain. The staff here are amazing. The food choice is lovely, they go above & beyond to see to his needs. Cannot fault them at all. My dad isn't the easiest of patients, he is always clean & tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to place someone here you...

Home from home! What more can I say about Arkwright House having the most caring staff and the atmosphere as soon as you walk into the building is so warm and welcoming. During the time Dad has been here he looks very relaxed and happy, he has also gained some weight due to the excellent standard of care given by the lovely staff. The unit is extremely well managed by the manager and it is kept very clean by the lovely housekeeping staff. I would highly recommend Arkwright House to anyone who wants excellent quality of care for an elderly relative.

As a visitor, the door is always answered with a smile. I ask 'how's Mum' and all the staff know who I'm talking about (including cook if she's about). This reassures me and assures me Mum is treated as an individual.
