We would like to thank all the staff from the bottom of our hearts for the time, patience and wonderful care you took of Mum.
Thank you for your lovely words. It was our pleasure to care for your mum, and she is missed by the entire team.
A wonderful care home. The staff are lovely, truly caring and engage with the residents in a wonderful way, treating residents and families with love and dignity. Could not be better. Loads of great and varied activities are available for residents.

They do a lot of different activities, which helps keep all the residents engaged and share pictures of what they have been doing on a daily basis, which is fantastic for families to see. The food always looks very nice, and the birthday cakes are fantastic. I would recommend anyone looking for a care home to consider Sherwood House.

Sherwood House has exceeded my expectations of a care home. My mum always said she never wanted to go into a home, but she settled very quickly here due to the caring staff and excellent facilities. I live in Australia but was in the UK to see Mum and see her move into Sherwood House in September 2022. I now see more of my mum than I did before through the many photos and videos on the Whatsapp family group. The food looks absolutely wonderful. My mum's GP is very happy with the care they give at Sherwood House. The staff are always happy and engage with the residents in different activities, from pet therapy to pumpkin carving for Halloween!
Excellent care and facilities, residents are included in many different daily activities, including live music, games, and arts and crafts. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is fabulous. So thankful that my mum has been able to stay here.

Sherwood is an amazing residential home. My grandad is so very well looked after here. The carers and managers are so lovely and thoughtful and are always keeping the family in the loop via our family WhatsApp group. I couldn’t recommend Sherwood House enough.

Sherwood House is the best. There is nothing they would or have done for my sister. Management team, carers, all staff are the best from the moment you walk indoors; they are always ready with a smile on their faces, they give everyone 100 per cent off their time, looking after our loved ones.

Nothing is too much trouble for them.
Always looking out for my mum's welfare and needs.
The app the home uses is very good and keeps us updated.
My mum has settled very well.
The home is always kept clean and today with a very good menu! Mum has put on weight.

Staff go above and beyond at all times. The app they use keeps us updated on a daily basis. Residents are always kept entertained or busy when they want to be. All staff, from management to kitchen staff, are excellent. Thank you.

Lovely visit as always. The staff member who greeted me at the front door was pleasant and helpful; she offered me a cup of tea or coffee then showed me to the lounge area. Another staff member helped to get my mother to her room, which was clean, tidy and homely. All staff members were helpful and caring towards my mother. I am always impressed with the activities undertaken with the resident at the home. I could not be more pleased with the care given by the staff at Sherwood House. I am grateful that my mother is being so well looked after.

My brother came to this amazing care home 2-years ago. Just recently, our mother has been diagnosed with vascular dementia, and this is the home we wanted her to go to. We've had constant updates from the staff regarding our mother's placement. On Tuesday the 1st of March we got the news we've all been waiting for that our mother has got her placement at this wonderful, welcoming home. The staff always go above and beyond for our mother and the visitors that go there. We cannot thank them enough for helping with the process of getting her into their care.
Mum moved into Sherwood House last November. I don't live in the UK, therefore, I only had photos of the home to view... which all looked very good. I had the pleasure of visiting Mum and joining her for lunch just recently, and I was very impressed with the cleanliness and standard of the home,...
With the help of the staff, I'm able to video call Mum, so I can "see" how she is, for me, that is so important... and she does look so well and happy. Also, with the photos and videos that the home shares, showing activities with all the happy faces of the residents speaks for itself.
An excellent, caring home, with an extremely high standard of cleanliness.

My mother-in-law moved into Sherwood in Oct 2021. From day one, she has been safe and cared for. The staff at Sherwood House are all kind, professional and respectful to all residents and their guests. The food is delicious and plentiful, and my mother-in-law definitely enjoys every mealtime, often trying and enjoying new foods. The activities are varied and engaging, I can often see my mother-in-law joining in from the photos and videos posted on the WhatsApp group. The WhatsApp group really helps to keep my family connected. In summary, my mother-in-law is very happy there. We know she’s safe and happy, therefore, I would wholeheartedly recommend Sherwood to anyone considering residential care. Thank you to the staff, thank you for caring.

I am so impressed with the outstanding care that is provided. The daily activities, fantastic food and genuine kindness and warmth that is provided on a daily basis. Nothing is too much, and the resident's needs are always 100% placed first. I love seeing how involved the residents are, especially seeing them in the kitchen helping with making dinner and being encouraged with activities and exercises. The staff are truly amazing in every way.

My uncle has only been there 3-weeks, but the difference in him is already evident. He is eating more, and his mobility, although not great, is better than it was.
Fantastic work by all staff. Thank you.
Sherwood House continued care of my sister is outstanding. The care and compassion shown by all staff are amazing; they respect each resident and ensure their dignity remains. The range of activities provided is well thought out. The food provided by their talented chef is amazing.

Whilst visiting my dad, I noticed that the care home has two ladies who do activities with the residents. They were having so much fun, and I played a few games of dominoes with my dad.
