Damfield Gardens

My mum has been in Damfield Gardens for over 3 years. It was a hard decision to make when my mum needed a care home. But it was the best decision I made for my mum and the family. I cannot fault Damfield Gardens or the staff. After 3 years I feel they know me personally and most importantly they are 100% dedicated to my mum's care. 5 stars.

My mum moved into Damfield Gardens about three months ago, I couldn’t wish for a better place for my mum. The anxiety of putting someone you love into care is a step no one wants to face. My mum couldn’t walk after being in hospital after a fall so going back to her flat was not an option. Damfield Gardens took away that anxiety, my mum settled in very quickly. The staff are amazing and caring and have the residents care at the forefront of their minds. The food is excellent. My mum loves her food and looks forward to her meals. They have activities to stimulate the residents and a garden that is beautiful to go outside when the weather is good. Her room has a patio door where she can sit outside or open for fresh air. I could not wish for a better place. So much so that I have told my kids that’s where I want to go if and when I reach that stage!

My mother spent almost three years in this care home, with increasing dementia, before passing away in February. The last twelve months have been especially tough due to Covid-19. Throughout her time in the Care Home, mum received the very best of care and the staff were wonderful with her; they became ‘family’. I cannot praise the management and staff too highly and what they achieved over the last year is incredible under very difficult circumstances. Moving a loved one into care is always tough, but I have no regrets about choosing Highpoint Damfield. At the end of mum’s life, the staff were brilliant with her and with me. A big thank you to them all.

We recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to move Dad into residential care. Due to COVID restrictions, this was not an easy decision to make but the staff at Damfield Gardens have made us feel at ease and have been so attentive. We cannot thank them enough.

My mum has been at Damfield Gardens since November 2018 and what can I say? The professionalism of the staff, the care they take of her (both mentally and emotionally) and the trust she has in them give us immense reassurance that the hardest decision my family has ever had to make has been the right one for her. Particularly in this extremely difficult COVID-19 times, the home has put the health and wellbeing of the residents and staff at the forefront of their daily lives – as a family, we will forever be grateful.

My father was a resident at Damfield Gardens, where he recently passed away. The manner in which this difficult situation was dealt with was exceptional. Dad was shown such care and dignity in his last few days and every effort was made to ensure that he was as comfortable as he could be. As a family, we were also shown kindness and compassion. Thank you to all staff for your help and support. It meant so much.

Mum has been a resident for over 18 months. In that time myself (or my brother) has had no cause for serious complaint. Any small blips have been always sorted out promptly. The staff make this home a real home, their warmth and care is evident every day and I have never seen or heard from any member of staff any sign of disrespect which at times is a difficult situation. I am so glad we decided on Damfield Gardens for Mum and I thank God every day!

The staff and manager are lovely, they can't do enough for my mum and me. They've made me feel happy and that my mum is safe and very well looked after. I thoroughly recommend this home.

All staff were extremely helpful and courteous at all times, can't praise them enough.

My mother was resident at Damfield from June 2018 to February 2019. She was suffering from vascular dementia and displayed some challenging symptoms. I found the caring provided by the staff to be excellent. There will always be challenges with a room full of elderly residents with varying types and stages of dementia. I was constantly impressed by the effort the staff put into caring for these vulnerable people.
