Caddington Grove Care Home

Wonderful care from the wonderful staff. So kind and respectful to Dad and us. Thank you. From the day we arrived, 4 months ago, the care has been absolutely wonderful. We shall still visit as the staff and residents we would miss too.

I would just like to make a comment regarding a member of staff who has been beyond caring and lovely towards our grandad. She has shown a genuine positive energy and outlook at work, she has been so supportive towards my granddad and the family.

Nothing is ever an issue and nothing is ever too much to ask for, she really cares and has a genuine kind heart, you can see that this is not just a job for her but she really wants to help and make a change in the lives of those that live in the care home.

I have firsthand witnessed the way in which she speaks to our grandad, she speaks so clearly and slowly allowing our grandad to be able to process what she's saying. She's completely engaged within the conversation.

Our grandad was bedbound for six weeks prior to coming. The carer with a team of amazing staff was able to get our granddad outside! Something which we wasn't sure was ever going to happen again

She is a credit to the team! She's truly amazing. She brings that home feeling back!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the care and compassion shown to my mother in law during her time in Caddington Grove. She was always treated with dignity warmth and attentiveness. When my mother in law's health declined the level of support from the carers only deepened. The team went above and beyond not only in caring for her physical needs but also insuring she felt safe, loved and respected. Losing my mother in law was heartbreaking but we are so thankful she spent her final days being cared for in a safe and supportive environment. To the manager and team a big 'Thank You' the from bottom of my heart

We were really impressed with the care my father received while in your care. He was only with you for a short time, and we were made to feel very comfortable. The communication with us during his final days was very good. Thank you so very much.

I visited my friend in Caddington Grove last week. She lived in there for a number of years. I cannot praise the staff for the excellent care she received. The staff all knew her well and she loved staying in the home.

Always enjoy singer events, brilliant, always kept up to date on health needs ect.

Mum has been a resident at Caddington Grove Care Home for nearly 4 years. The staff have been wonderful. Mum has received excellent care physically, emotionally and even spiritually. Mum is a committed Christian and she has received loving respect for her faith. Mum probably only has a few days to live but the respect and care she received means she is comfortable and peaceful. I cannot praise the staff enough for all they have done for Mum while she has been at Caddington Grove.

Mum has deteriorated in her health in the last few weeks but the love, care and respect for Mum hasn't. It has been so lovely to see Mum's face light up when a carer comes into the room. I have heard them talk about Mum with such love, care and concern, recalling memories they have at a time of Covid when I couldn't come in. Thank you.

What a wonderful team. Thank you all.

I need more words than the max to really tell you how amazing they are.

Only one thing could be improved - decor of rooms for respite residents, pictures on wall and cushions etc would make it more welcoming. My mum hated the food.

My father was admitted at short notice, as he was unable to return home after being in hospital. The care home dealt with everything and got him settled in quickly.

The improvement and well-being of Mum since being in your care is phenomenal. Mum was sad, drawn and had lost a lot of weight. But since being a resident she has got her natural glow back. Seems a lot happier and has her spirit for life back.

Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

Helped us out with not even a day's notice, after being let down by another home the day before. Very helpful and polite, to deal with all staff so grateful. Also been invited to still visit and take part in activities. Mother-in-law seemed very happy there. Even got upset when leaving, might not be the cheapest of home, but glad all was good there.

We are so happy with the care Mum receives at Caddington Grove in Dunstable. Caddington is Mum's 3rd care home so we have other experiences to compare with. The staff are so friendly and caring, make time for Mum, and are just kind.

My mother moved into Caddington Grove in June 2023 as she was no longer able to care for herself. From day one, the staff and management were very supportive to both myself, my family and of course my mother. She always looked well cared for, clean and happy to be in their care. My mum’s health declined in January and, after a short stay in hospital, my mum returned to Caddington Grove, but unfortunately she was then bedbound. The staff were amazing and so attentive to her needs and we also really appreciate how caring they were to my sister and I during my mum's last days. This home is ‘the best’ and we would definitely recommend them; the staff get to know the relatives and are very good at ‘updates’ on the relative's care! Thanks to you all for making my mum's last days as peaceful as possible!

Mum moved into Caddington Grove in August and has settled well. It has made a big difference for her to be able to bring her own small items of furniture and her personal pictures and ornaments to her room. Every member of staff has been very friendly and welcoming, including towards visiting friends and relatives. Mum is now able and keen to take part in the many activities and also enjoys visits from her friends and family. Any minor health issues are picked up by staff very quickly and monitored, and escalated to her GP if necessary, which is very comforting for her family to know that she is well cared for. The home is very well maintained and nothing seems to be too much trouble for the maintenance team who have done their part to help Mum to settle. I would certainly recommend Caddington Grove.

As well as the staff being kind and caring, the home is beautifully decorated and maintained and gives a real "home from home" feel as soon as you walk through the door.

My mum has been here for eight months and the improvement in her has been enormous, despite her Alzheimer’s. She was in very poor health when she first arrived after a time in hospital, bedridden and unable to feed herself. She now spends her days in the lounge, feeds herself and is happy and settled which would have been hard for us to believe given her level of anxiety on admittance. We can’t speak highly enough of the staff who have always treated Mum with care and respect. There is a stable team who we have come to know through our daily visits. Would thoroughly recommend Caddington Grove Care Home, it has truly become a home for our mum.
