Dear Patrick,
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.
We're delighted to hear that your brother has settled into life at Sycamore Heights so quickly and is feeling happy and comfortable in his new home.
It's wonderful to know that our team has been welcoming, approachable, and supportive throughout this important transition, helping to ensure a first-class experience. Creating a warm, homely environment where residents feel valued, respected, and cared for is incredibly important to us.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and recognise the efforts of our team. We look forward to continuing to provide the highest standard of care and support to your brother and your family.

However, when we arrived, nobody was there to greet us, or even open the front door, which we waited outside of for at least 5mins until I manage get the attention of somebody.
I can't fault the cleanliness, the facilities and the lovely staff, but when it came to her meals she informed me that every meal she had, arrived cold. I realise care is taken with dementia residents so they don't burn themselves with hot food, but it is not exceptable that all residents have to eat their meals cold!
During Mum's stay certain items of food had run out and on one occasion she had an omelette as her main big meal of the day, which isn't classed as adequate in my opinion or Mum's.
The crazy idea of bringing jugs of water into the residents rooms during the middle of the night (which sometimes wakes them up) I also find, strange?
There seems to be a lack of organisation in certain aspects.

Sycamore Heights definitely puts the "care" in care home easy to deal with firstly over the phone and subsequently at our walk around and assessment. All the staff we came in contact with acted in a friendly and professional manner. Dad's room was what you would expect in a country hotel. He went into respite from hospital which wasn't ideal however he came out totally rejuvenated, able to walk with his sticks confidently and full of who he'd meet and what he'd done. I can't thank the team enough for the care they showed

I cannot praise the facilities or staff (every single one of them) highly enough. They treated my aunt with respect, dignity and TLC from the moment she got there. She thoroughly enjoyed the activities, and formed great relationships with the staff. She was bright, happy and engaged in a way I haven' t seen since her diagnosis, it was like a switch going on. My aunt's safety, comfort, emotional and physical wellbeing was catered for in the highest possible standards.
I would highly recommend this care home but also think it sets the bar in how our loved ones are cared for when we become unable to. Home from home, only better!!

What a lovely place Sycamore Heights is! The rooms and facilities are all great, but what really makes this such a special place is the extra effort all members of staff put into making the residents feel seen, heard, valued, welcomed and part of the family.

The support workers were also devastated to lose him. Not so, the management (new manager). I was told it would be in his best interests! I don't accept that. BE CAUTIOUS!
We are sorry that your husband has had to move from our care home, as we know you wanted him to remain at Sycamore Heights.

We are sorry that your husband has had to move from our care home, as we know you wanted him to remain at Sycamore Heights. A decision was made by a multi-disciplinary team, that it was in his best interest to be relocated, where his needs could be better met. Any decision for a resident to leave is not taken lightly and full consideration was taken in both his best interest, and the best interest of other residents and staff. We are pleased to hear he is settling well in his new home.
Mum has been a resident since late November, and seems happy, calm, and settled. The staff are lovely and seem to genuinely care about her. I get regular feedback about her health and happiness, and feel good about her new home.

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.

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.

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...
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.

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.
Thank you so much for taking your time to review Sycamore Heights. All the team pride themselves an providing personalised care and we are so please that you feel were treated as an individual during your stay with us. I will share your kind words with the team.

I am a motivated, committed, and adaptable nurse and leader with over two years’ experience in the private healthcare sector and more than 20 years of NHS nursing experience.
My nursing values are rooted in compassion, kindness, dignity, and respect. I am committed to delivering safe, person-centred care and to treating residents, families, and colleagues with empathy and professionalism.
I value teamwork, integrity, and continuous learning, and I strive to support and empower others while maintaining the highest standards of care. I was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours in recognition of my service to nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
From the very first moment I walked through the doors of Sycamore Heights Care Home and began my journey as part of the team, I felt a warmth that is difficult to put into words. There was an immediate sense of belonging, as if I had been welcomed into a family rather than just starting a new role.
The staff are extraordinary — kind beyond measure, endlessly supportive, and full of genuine compassion. From day one, they made me feel accepted, encouraged, and never alone. Every smile, every gentle word, and every act of care comes straight from the heart. You can feel the love, respect, and dignity in everything they do, not only for the residents but for one another as well.
Sycamore Heights Care Home is a place where kindness is lived, not just spoken about. Being part of this team is more than a job — it is an honour and a privilege.

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.
