Mum has been in this care home for two months and she is so happy.
It's so warm, welcoming and homely and the quality of the care the residents receive is first class. The staff also show great support to families too.
Family and friends who has visited Mum have commented on how happy she looks
and what a wonderful environment the home provides.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Sycamore Heights at the end of October 2025, due to her dementia my sister and I had to make the decision on her behalf and we visited a few care homes: the moment we walked into Sycamore Heights we knew it was the right one for our mother, the atmosphere was welcoming, warm and
with a sense of calmness. The property is well maintained with beautiful decor and furnishings, it's always spotlessly clean, fresh and feels more like a hotel than a care home.
The staff are very kind, compassionate and friendly, they treat the residents with respect and dignity and are always welcoming when I go to visit my mum.
The food is excellent with a varied choice on the menu each day, my mother has been enjoying the meals and has gained weight since being here.
The transition for mum moving here has been smooth and she has settled in extremely well, being in Sycamore Heights has improved her quality of life and it's reassuring to know she is in safe, caring hands.
Reply from Tryness Tshuma, Home Manager at Sycamore Heights Nursing HomeThank you for your kind feedback, the team will be glad to hear of the feedback you have shared. We aim to continue ensuring that our residents receive the best care possible and your feedback gives us the opportunity to reflect on what we are doing well and any areas we can improve on.

Dad has been very well looked after during his two weeks stay. I have visited many times and each staff member I have observed has been polite, supportive and lovely with dad. Dad has enjoyed the food and interaction from staff. The home has been a lovely environment to visit, very welcoming and a homely
feel. I would not hesitate to recommend the home. The activities I only marked as satisfactory as Dad would have enjoyed more musical activities but that is a personal thing for him. Thank you all.

Review from A K (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to Sycamore Heights for a period of respite care. She had previously held a negative view of care homes, recalling experiences where residents were left sitting in chairs without stimulation. Her experience at Sycamore Heights has been entirely different, and she has now chosen
to remain as a full-time resident.
The home is extremely well maintained and always presented to a high standard of cleanliness. Staff are consistently kind, patient, and supportive towards both residents and their families, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Before admission, my mother had experienced significant weight loss due to a reduced appetite. Since staying at Sycamore Heights, she has rediscovered her enjoyment of food and has already begun to gain weight. The menu is varied and appealing, which has had a very positive impact on her health and wellbeing.
Overall, the standard of care has been excellent, and we have complete confidence in the support she is receiving.
Reply from Heather Donnell, Home Manager at Sycamore Heights Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to review Sycamore Heights. I will ensure your kind words are shared with the team. At Sycamore Heights we strive to give everyone who lives in and visits a smile and a warm welcome, it is nice to hear that this is being achieved. Our chef work with our residents to adapt the menu to what they would prefer and if they do not fancy what is on the menu they will ensure that an alternative of the residents choice is provided.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My first impression of Sycamore Heights Care Home was that it is extremely well run and that the atmosphere is very caring. It is attractive from a funishing and decorative point of view and the overriding atmosphere is of both kindness and competence. I was in there for respite care at the end of July
2025. I was well looked after and one of the most important things for me was that I was treated as a person and not just an "old person". Both staff and residents were kind and welcoming and I felt confident that had I needed more nursing care it would have been provided.

My mother recently received respite care at Sycamore Heights following surgery. Compassion, competence, a 'home from home' wecloming environment and utmost professionalism are just some of the words I would use to describe the excellent care my mother received from all members of the care team, led
by the manager, and all delivered in this modern home.
Oh and did I mention how good the food is! - again it is excellent
So many other care homes, in our experience, do not meet the claims made in their brochures but here is one that truly does!

We visited 3 different care homes with my mother and decided Sycamore Heights Care Home was the best. I am generally very happy with our decision. My mother's dementia has worsened considerably since her admission and although I have found the staff to be friendly and caring I know she doesn't agree.
Hopefully this situation will improve. My ony issue is the time it takes staff to answer the front door. My sister once waited 15 minutes and gave up in the end.
Reply from Heather Donnell, Home Manager at Sycamore Heights Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to share your experience with Sycamore Heights Care Home. We're pleased to hear that you found the staff to be friendly and caring, and that you felt confident in your choice after visiting several homes. We understand how challenging it can be to watch a loved one's dementia progress, and we hope your mother's comfort and well-being improve over time.We're very sorry to hear about the delay your sister experienced at the front door - this is not the standard of responsiveness we aim for. Your feedback is invaluable, and we did review the problem with the call bell as soon as it was brought to our attention. Thank you again for your honest feedback. If there's anything more we can do to support you and your family, please don't hesitate to let us know.

My dad came for respite care 3 months ago after a two week stay in hospital. He was very frail, extremely low in himself and has severely ulcerated legs. He also has an open wound on his head. The staff and the nursing care has been beyond our expectations. They have shown endless patience and compassion
with my dad. They have been there at all times helping him to settle. His health has improved immensely. He has now decided to stay for the foreseeable future.

The team at Sycamore a super, they look after Dad really well. They have adjusted to his requirements really well and apart from losing his independence he is very happy there. They call me with updates and keep me informed when he has had a fever or needs a hospital visit. Great place, great team.
Thoroughly recommend.

As the wife and previous carer for my husband I have been thoroughly supported in this transition. The staff, without exception have been kind, patient, professional, empathetic and supportive. They do all they can to assist my husband with eating, toileting and mobilising. They cope admirably with
his episodes of aggressive behaviour.

The staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful - always kind and actively looking for ways to improve the service. Mum is very much enjoying the home cooking and the daily cakes in the cafe area. Everyone knew our names incredibly quickly and we all feel welcome and cared for. Mum has been really
looked after in terms of nursing needs, arranging podiatrist and hairdresser and taking care of prescriptions and everything. She's very happy there and so much more positive about life.

Overall impression is that this care home is of the highest quality in every respect. All staff are friendly efficient and professional. The design, decor and furnishings are beautiful giving a calm, warm feel. The food is superb and varied. Staff have shown immense kindness (and patience!) to our aunt/friend.
Staff have also been very supportive to us, her family and friends. This has been much appreciated. Can't comment on activities as home is new and these are yet to start but I have no doubt they will be great. Will have to give it longer to assess value for money. All we can say now is we're very happy with everything.

A wonderful home with a lovely homely feel. As soon as I walked through the door I was welcomed as too was my young child. We really were looked after and made to feel at home during our visit.
My family member is staying longer than originally intended and they have gone above and beyond to ensure

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Sycamore Heights Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.823 for Sycamore Heights Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.823
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sycamore Heights Nursing Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 23 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.

Anto Kunniparambil

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Originally from India, my healthcare career began in 2004 when I started my nursing education. After graduating, I worked as a staff nurse in India for around 20 months, gaining valuable clinical experience in a fast-paced environment. In 2010, I moved to the UK to pursue my Master’s degree. After completing my studies, I successfully passed the required English language exams and university programme to become a registered nurse in the UK. Over the past 11 years, I have worked exclusively in social care. I began as a healthcare assistant at Northampton General Hospital before becoming a registered nurse. Since then, I have progressed through a variety of roles, including Registered Manager and Support Consultant, supporting a group of 15 care homes. This journey—from healthcare assistant to senior leadership—has given me a deep understanding of frontline care and quality service delivery. Recently, I made the decision to step down from senior roles to take on this role as Deputy Manager, to spend more time with my family and focus on what I enjoy most: improving the quality of care we provide. I am passionate about person-centred care and committed to helping services deliver safe, effective, and compassionate support. In my spare time, I enjoy having fun with my family and 4 children.

I have gained invaluable knowledge throughout my 15 years within the Health and Social care sector, starting by providing direct care, to team leading and then into Business Development roles. I enjoy being in a customer-facing role and supporting residents on their journeys into the company. I really like the high standards of the homes and the attention to smaller details that Kingsley Healthcare ensure in delivering quality care.


In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and eating out, watching movies, spending time with family and horse riding.

Job Title: Home Administrator

My work history has been quite varied. After acquiring a degree in fashion and textiles and working in various freelancing fashion-related roles, I moved into Sales and Customer services working for the Bedfordshire Times and Citizens Newspaper team. From this role, I progressed through Telecommunications and the recruitment sectors from Sales Representative to Business Development. I was working as a care assistant for the next 10 years. It was in care that I found a real purpose in life and absolutely love giving back and helping others through their lives. The last two years of my time at my previous job (in care) were spent as an administrator which I enjoyed immensely and that is how I came to join the Kingsley family and look forward to my continued commitment and passion within the care sector as Sycamore Heights administrator.


My hobbies centre around: Hiking, Camping, Wild Swimming, Yoga, Arts & Crafts, Comicon & Anime, Concerts & Music Festivals.
