Review from K D (Relative of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative moved into Nesbit House during October 2025. They have settled well due to the dedication and help of all the staff. The home has a constant happy and friendly atmosphere. The weekly outings to local attractions and internal activities are organised to a high standard. Within the past week
my relative became unwell during the night. The first contact from the staff was excellent, the following morning a full medical care plan had been implemented by the home, GP and ambulance service. The service provided was very reassuring.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to review the care home. I can't believe it has only been since October 2025, as your loved one has fit right into the fabric of the home. We are really pleased that you have been well served both by our proactive AND reactive care that you have experience so far, we are not resting on our laurels and if anything at all comes up that you feel we can improve on please do let us know

We feel very happy that Betty is at Nesbit House. She is well looked after and gets the care she needs for a 99 year old lady. On the few occasions we have visited at the weekend, some of the homemakers/carers do not appear as interested in their job as they might.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeWe are grateful to have the opportunity to look after your loved one and thank you for taking the time to comment on the care she is receiving. We too are happy to have her in the home and appreciate the positive feedback. I do apologise that you have had some inconsistent experiences and should you wish to, I would be happy to discuss your perspective on your next visit.

I have been very impressed with the overall care and attention provided at this home. In particular, the catering team deserves special recognition - the meals are consistently delicious, nutritious, and thoughtfully prepared to meet residents' individual needs. The staff are not only friendly and approachable
but clearly take pride in their work, making mealtimes a real highlight of the day. Combined with the excellent care, welcoming environment, and attentive support from all staff, this home provides a genuinely warm and nurturing experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for compassionate care and outstanding catering.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you for such incredibly kind words, as soon as I read your review I shared it with our Chefs and Kitchen assistants. They continue to do the entire team proud and we are all so pleased that you have had such a positive experience at Nesbit House. We will continue in all departments to work toward five star care, wellbeing and nutrition every day!

Re Sunday 13th July 2925 (Wimbledon finals!)
Mum moved into Nesbit this year and Sunday 13/7 was her 96th birthday.
Our family reserved the private dining room/patio, so we could all gather to celebrate mum's special day.
Together with head chef, Aniel, we agreed on a menu/BBQ/wine&beer, for 20 persons.
As the sun was shining, the tables were beautifully laid outside (with umbrellas) and the BBQ and salads were absolutely delicious. As it was Wimbledon, Aneil of course, provided strawberries & cream (mums favorite) and we all had a great time. Thoroughly recommend the private dining option-thank you to all who made Mums birthday very special.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you so much for the positive Review. We have really worked hard this year on our residents getting full benefit of our lovely garden Spaces. We are really happy we could help you enjoy the day. It is an absolute pleasure having Mum in the home and whilst we don't often get a group of 20 it was a pleasure hosting you all and welcome you back again at any time

I would like to say a big thank you to the team at Nesbit House Care Home for making our first Christmas with mum in a care home a really lovely experience. My family were all a little apprehensive about this time of the year and how we would make this festive session special for our Mum but thanks
to the head chef and he's team we were able to relax and enjoy making some special memories with Mum.
We were a party of 9 and one small dog, all staff serving and supporting us for the afternoon were very attentive and made us feel very comfortable. The food was amazing and our private room was beautifully decorated and looked very Christmassy.


Thank you to everyone for making our Christmas Day so very special.

Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you LH for your fantastic appraisal of the home. Making the decision to come into care is never easy, and you apprehension was totally normal. At Nesbit we do strive to ensure that residents and loved ones continue to have the opportunity for ongoing special moments and memories and that the whole family (including one small dog) can feel comfortable within the home. Whilst I have thanked directly about this review, I will ensure that full praise goes to the staff who supported you and the family all on the day.

Nesbit House has friendly and caring staff who take a genuine interest in the residents and their happiness and welfare. I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the company of my father and the residents recently, attending the visiting entertainment (a most excellent singer) and participating in
a fun "hard" quiz. I also had the opportunity to join them at lunch in the dining room on three occasions where the portion sizes were good, the choices varied and the quality as I would have anticipated for a care home like this.


The highlight, however, was a superb lunch in the private dining room for my father, brother and me. We had been invited to express our menu preferences and Head Chef Aneil and his team created, cooked and served a most delicious lunch, much as I would expect in a top restaurant, along with a selection of wine. An excellent spread!

Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you for your feedback, We are very proud of Aneil and his whole team who cater and host our private dining events they are indeed All Stars. I am particularly happy that you have enjoyed our activities and it seems from your review felt comfortable taking part and joining staff and residents.
We continue to work were possible on making all aspects 5 star for every resident and stakeholder. We hope to see you on your next visit and if you would like discuss any aspects of your loved one's stay.
Kind Regards

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's the most difficult decision - placing your husband into care. The moment I stepped into Nesbit House I knew it would be the perfect place for us. From the Management team to all the homemakers and Nursing staff, I felt confident this would be the right fit. The home is bright and airy and very
comfortable. There are plenty of places to enjoy a visit. The homemakers are compassionate and take the time to get to know you. They are supportive, engage with residents, care for them with professionalism and empathy. In the few months that my husband has been here I have experienced first hand the vocational nature and skills that the Nursing team display. They are impressive and very responsive as issues arise. The Catering team are far superior to anything we expected. From three course lunches, to home baked cakes and snacks on demand. So many work behind the scenes; a family taking care of our families. It's a place where should circumstances dictate, I would be happy.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeJane, I cannot express how much your review means to us as a team. We know that every day is different and comes with its own challenges. Feedback like this proves that with consistent effort and dedication we can make a difference. We will continue to work hard to ensure the experience you have described is the same for every resident, every day.

From my first introduction to Nesbit House I felt safe and heard. It was at a very difficult time tryign to place my father from hospital. The lady was very reassuring and has spent many hours continuing to reassure me. Both my parents are now residents and are happy and settled. I have visited many
care homes as a professional nurse and none have the expertise like Nesbit do.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeTracy, Thank you so much for your positive comments, We wil strive to live up to this every day. We are so happy that you have chosen us as the care provider for your parents and really enjoy being able to give them a comfortable and safe environment within the home. We are constantly looking at ways to improve and hope to get that activity line to a 5 star rating. If you have any ideas for this please pop along and see us during any of your visits to the home.

I am always impressed by the smart yet informed atmosphere of Nesbit House. It is always clean, yet there is an air of informality that immediately puts everyone at ease. But an institution is only as good as the people who work there, and the care of Nestbit House the staff that I have encountered
are exemplary. They are always smart but casual (the decision not to wear uniform) and most of all they treat the residents with respect and care. Long may it continue.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you for your comment, we strive to make the environment as comfortable as possibly within the luxury setting. Knowing that we have achieved this is wonderful to hear, we will continue to work to do even better in this area. I will ensure to feed back to the team your comment and positivity about them.I believe that we have discussed the areas that you have highlighted and look forward to being able to see the results of some ongoing plans and changes soon

I was dreading selecting a care home for my wife but not at all. I was sent details of Nesbit House and was so surprised how perfect it was on my visit and accepted straight away without seeing any others. Everything about the home is perfect and my wife couldn't be more comfortable and looked after
by the caring homemakers and other staff. I would urge others to consider Nesbit House for themselves.

Having just visited my mother, I found her in good spirits, clean, tidy, well-fed with drinks to hand, happy and feeling safe. She was not well yesterday, and an ambulance crew attended. All is well. The nurses kept me fully informed at every stage. The home and all the staff, from management to carers,
have been exceptional. Always smiling and happy to help and discuss mom. Thank you.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you so much for the stunning review. We are grateful for you mother's improvement in health, whilst periods of illness can affect any resident we hope that we were able to relieve some of that burden for you by keeping you informed and doing all we can for her in the home.

My mum was reluctant to enter a care home but declining health meant it had to happen. Nesbits welcomed her, gave her a room which suited her needs (ie: to be closer to people and not the end of the corridor). They are superb, from the admin home makers, nursing and chefs. The home is always clean and
tidy. The facilities and entertainment are first class. All I can say is thank you. Nesbits is a really lovely place.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeYour feedback has been shared with all departments within the home and has been very warmly received.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
It's taken me a whole year to reflect and write this review. I'll keep it factual and honest.
My loved one was in the care of Nesbit House and initially we were also wowed by the plush facilities and exterior. A few months in there was a serious incident at the home and the response that followed
from the management team was horrific. Playground bullying, bare face lying and blackmail tactics were used against me and my family. When the hospital issued a safeguarding complaint against the home our slot in the home was withdrawn (despite receiving a voicemail 24 hours earlier saying there were no issues with extending care). Effectively making a 98 year old homeless. Please please be careful when choosing for your loved one.
On a positive note I cannot fault the junior staff who were genuinely lovely people who cared, so thank you to all of those, we didn't get the chance to thank.
Reply from Charles Knowles, Home Manager at Nesbit House Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all reviews, as they help us improve our services.

I visited a close friend who transferred from hospital and is on palliative care with short life expectancy.
Group of family and friends visited lunchtime for a party. Food and drinks were provided (without charge). All staff caring and friendly.

I was there to recuperate after a period in hospital. The first thing I noticed was how warm and genuinely friendly everyone was. I was extremely well looked after by all the staff, many of whom gave me extra, personal and very thoughtful care and attention. The accommodation, facilities and decor are
of a very high standard. Everywhere was very clean. The food was very good and sufficient for my needs. My visitors were also made very welcome. The setting, garden and views are lovely. It is a peaceful home.

This month the maintenance officer and wellbeing coach organised a celebration of International Nurses' Day. My mother (a retired nurse) was made to feel very special and truly appreciated the acknowledgement of her years of commitment and passion to the NHS - once a nurse, always a nurse! On one occasion,
I overheard one of the carers/homemakers saying that it was an honour to care for a fellow nurse. Such kind gestures mean so much to my mother and her family - thank you.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
