Overall Experience

Pottersway has been a great fit for my mother, the staff are excellent and very professional. The building and facilities are top quality and after a short stay in hospital, my mother transitioned back without a hitch. As a family, we are very pleased with the care my mother is getting and can highly

recommend Pottersway to anyone looking for a residential home in the area.

Overall Experience

The home is excellently designed and decorated with all the facilities the residents need. My sister-in-law has multiple medical needs, including the onset of dementia, but all are met by the amazing carers. As family we have been amazed by the warm atmosphere and the opportunites for our sister-in-law

to join in, such as music, singing, movies, lovely lounge and coffee areas. Her ensuite room has all she needs and staff are friendly and approachable. Full marks from us all!

Overall Experience

My mother has recently moved to Pottersway and we feel that we could not have found a better place for her to live.

The building, rooms, food and garden are all wonderful , but most importantly the team here is fantastic. All the staff are very friendly and caring. They've been incredibly welcoming

and have taken the time to chat and find out what is important to us.

Thank you Pottersway

Review from J B (Wife of Resident) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

A very pleasing environment - helpful to lift the spirit with quality furnishings and quite areas to enjoy. Staff largely very good. Food excellent, well present and a good variety: hats off to the chef(s).
Film idea very good and quizzes etc.
Maybe anyone totally immobile (move with help) needs to

be checked on every 1/2 hour - if possible persuaded out? Frustrating at entrance when no one on duty.

Really friendly staff who truly care about the residents. Although newly opened people have found 'their feet' without too many teething problems. My relative has settled in better than we thought - just hope there is a good level of staff retention, but can't fault anything!

Review from Sue B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum moved into Pottersway House a month ago. She has settled in very well considering she never wanted to go into a care home. She is starting to mix with the other residents and there are always activities going on and she is always encouraged to do things. Before she went into Pottersway House

we could not get her to eat anything but she loves the meals here and enjoys going into the dinning room to eat and she looks forward to her mealtimes. All the staff are very pleasant and caring, nothing is too much trouble and they keep me up to date about my my mum, they have sorted mum out with a new G.P very quickly. When we visit mum the home is like going into a hotel, the decor is beautiful, the gardens are lovely and so relaxing to sit in, the coffee machine, cakes and biscuits are a nice touch as mum thinks she is providing us with refreshments in her home. We are very happy that mum is being cared for by such a lovely team and we highly recommend Pottersway House Care Home

Overall Experience

My mother has recently become a resident of Pottersway. It had been a difficult experience finding an choosing appropriate care for her.. i wanted to express my deep thanks to the management team, the nurses and carers alike..
The home is immaculately clean, well presented with beautiful decor and

surroundings which are calm and peaceful..
The staff and welcoming and friendly, offering reassurance and patience when dealing with complex health problems..
My mother has received nothing but wonderful care and compassion. She has settled quickly and feels at home. I am personally delighted with the home, the care, the food, and activities. The efforts the staff have made to make her reassured and settled. The staff have gone above and beyond my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending the home to other prospective residents.

Overall Experience

My mother moved to Pottersway House in May 2025. She has vascular dementia and had started to neglect herself and too wander so we made the decision to put her into f/t residential care. Since moving to Pottersway Mum has gained weight, been involved with various activities including exercising, games,

crafting and her favourite gardening. She is happy and content and although she cannot remember things, she can relate to the staff and her surroundings.

Overall Experience

We feel we could not have chosen a better home which to convalesce and live.The home and staff go the extra mile for us regarding all our needs, medical and personal, and it was not long before we come to regard them as our second family.The activities are designed quite simply to engage our interests,

keep our brains active and enable us to make new friends.The routine is clear and adhered to without being at all oppressive and the staff are flexible in all sorts of ways because they are resident centres. My husband I and feel safe, secure and loved.

Overall Experience

My mum absolutely adores being in Pottersway Care Home. Every time we visit her she tells us how very happy she is and that she loves it there.
I cannot compliment the staff highly enough; They are attentive, sensitive and welcoming. Before joining the home, my mum was anxious, lonely and often tearful.

Now she is bopping along to Elvis, joining in with quizzes and exercise classes, and always seems to be creating artwork and flower arrangements.
I really struggled with the thought of putting mum into a home and now I wish I had done it sooner. It brings me such joy to see how happy, content and secure she feels. I would wholeheartedly recommend Pottersway to everyone.

My sister has been benefiting from respite care at Pottersway care home, as it has only just opened I was not too sure what to expect, but having looked around was reassured by those I met and the fantastic rooms and facilities. Pottersway has delivered all that I wanted for my sister in terms of environment,
