The Fleet Care Home

We recently visited a friend of ours in your home and were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and friendly manager on duty that day, who gave us complimentary refreshments before seeing our friend. The staff create a homely atmosphere by being, friendly, approachable and helpful. We loved the complimentary cafe and seating area, where we could sit and talk as a group, and admire the fine art work of the residents displayed. We walked away feeling our friends were in good hands, based on our experience. We would highly recommend it. We have had a number of friends here over the years and have always found the staff kind and helpful.

When my dad could no longer manage at home, I could not have wished for him to be anywhere else. He settled in and it was his home. He was treated with love and affection from everyone who looked after him. The facilities were second to none. Family birthday teas, entertainment and trips out. Spending time in the garden, helping out. I cannot thank everyone enough for all their kindness.

The staff are so in tune with mum's needs. Highly experienced with dementia. Understanding of her pride & humility. The building is fantastic. So well planned and every conceivable aid has been implemented. Staff and residents are all calm, happy and welcoming. Its a game changer of care homes. Something like I'd expect in Sweden - that quality.

The activities which are put on for the residents are varied, something for everyone.

We were invited to a lunch with one of your patients. It was a joyful occasion with lots of family and friends. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. If I was ever in need of a nursing home the Fleet Care Home would be at the top of the list! Thank you.

We organised a family and friends get together for my mother in law. It was fantastic from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble. They provided a chicken curry with vegetarian option which was really lovely and everyone enjoyed it. We all gathered in the downstairs lounge area which was perfect. We really appreciated all the effort from the staff at the nursing home.

Excellent service. Mum has been made to feel right at home at Fleet and the staff have been attentive and the care has been good. Mum's needs and wants are taken into account and we're pleased as a family how the care has been.

Whether it be reception, office admin, kitchen, cleaning, nursing, gardening, creative activities, hairdressing or maintenance, everyone is working as a team. Their professionalism, motivation and joy shine through. SO grateful.

My mum who had advanced dementia and cancer spent her last few months of life at the Fleet on Macbride floor, and died a few days ago while receiving exceptional nursing care. I have been blown away by the extraordinary care she has experienced over her 4 months there. The staff are so lovely and have created such a great family atmosphere. Each day is packed with joyful moments, activities and fun. My favourite anecdote is when mum and another resident got up at 2am and were definitely ready to start the day rather than go back to bed: the carer made them a midnight feast in the lounge area (to keep the noise away from the other residents) and got out the karaoke machine for them to enjoy, and that they did! What a great example of mum getting to live life and have fun on her terms. My only regret is not making the decision to move her to the fleet earlier. It really is such an extraordinary care home and I am so impressed and so grateful for mum's wonderful care right until the end.

Fleet Nursing home has been a shelter in the storm following my wifes brain injury. Both the the management team and staff have been very approachable and have done the utmost to provide a secure settled environment for my wife. Thank you

i will be forever grateful to everyone there for everything they did for my mum and how they treated her with absolute dignity right until the end.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care given to Dad during his stay with you all. We could not have asked for a better place to care for him from his first to his last days here.

The Fleet is an exceptional care home. My husband was there for 4 weeks recovering from a stroke. Everyone looked after him and we have no complaints, during the 4 weeks he rehabilitated well and it couldn't have been a nicer environment. All the staff are lovely and very attentive. The home is beautiful, modern, exceptionally clean and well operated. The garden is well cared for and is really nice to sit and relax there. We would highly recommend The Fleet, it was the best place for my husband, for his needs. Everyone working at The Fleet should be proud of themselves.

I recently spent 4 weeks at The Fleet Care Home recovering from a broken ankle. The warm welcoming atmosphere, my comfortable stylish room and the friendliness , care and encouragement from all the staff were much appreciated. I enjoyed the meals which were varied and plentiful. The Cove on the ground floor, with access to the lovely garden, was a favourite place to relax and enjoy a coffee and delicious slice of cake. It was also the venue for the wide range of entertainment and activities organised by their talented and creative team of staff and volunteers. I will certainly remember my time there with gratitude and affection.

What a joy to visit a care home and feel uplifted, rather than depressed! My sister had fractured her ankle and desperately needed somewhere for respite care whilst I was out of the country. After a fruitless search for anywhere with availability near her Plymouth home, our spirits lifted when we spotted The Fleet's website. First impressions are so important, and from the moment we stepped inside the 'hotel like' lobby, we both knew that this was somewhere special. The overall vibe was one of positivity, from the bright, airy interior to the lovely, hard working, caring staff and beautifully tended garden. Not a whiff of over cooked cabbage or disinfectant in this establishment, but instead, vases of beautiful, fresh flowers and the aroma of fresh coffee wafting from the delightful Cove, where we met up on my return. Now safely back in her own home, she cannot speak highly enough of the care she received, so a HUGE thank you to everyone at Fleet for their kindness.

He was encouraged to partake in activities some of which I went with him.

It was very nice to Have The Cove to spend time with him and friends who came to visit instead of having to stay in his room.

We have been back to visit and join in with the choir and again the staff were so welcoming.

We cannot thank the Manager and his Team enough for welcoming us into the Fleet 'family' and so my recommendation is 10/10 and maximum stars.

My father is at The Fleet and has received wonderful care and an array of activities that I am sure has prolonged his life and memory in comparison to being alone in his flat. There always seems to be some activity or entertainment for the residents and they genuinely seem to be having fun. There could not be a better place for him under this circumstances.

There is so much to do, the activity staff and volunteers help everyone celebrate every day.

If anyone wants to know more I am happy to share my experiences directly.
