Communication is excellent, always kept up to date and the use of an app group is very good, staff have a very caring attitude. Dignity is respected at all times and I am more than happy with the service.

Everyone was very helpful before she moved in, showing me around the home and explaining everything they offered. There is a bright lounge leading onto a paved garden area, which was ideal for Mum, who has very limited sight.
The staff are lovely and are committed to giving the very best of care with kindness and respect.
I think Sherwood House provides a caring, stimulating environment for those with dementia who need a safe and happy place to live.

My brother in law went into Sherwood House during the second lockdown, we couldn’t view the home because of Covid, so we were a bit concerned. As a family, we worried over nothing as this care home is truly amazing. The staff are fantastic and very attentive, the home in general is fantastic from the rooms to the food it has a amazing garden and from what I have seen all the residents are so happy and relaxed, would highly recommend this care home to anyone needing this service.

Everything about the place is wonderful!
The staff are incredibly caring, friendly and bubbly. They go above and beyond their duties to keep their residents happy and comfortable.
The food is excellent, and I would be happy to book a table here if it was a restaurant!
Sherwood house is not 5 star, it’s 10-stars!
Thank you to all at Sherwood for making it possible for my sister, brother and I, to be able to sleep at night knowing that our mum is being cared for by such a wonderful team of people!
Many thanks for a lovely review! We shall share this with the team here at Sherwood House.

My brother had a two-night stay to see if he would like to move in long term. He loved it! He was treated like a king. Staff and residents were so kind and respectful to my brother. He immediately relaxed and fitted in with the other residents. He loved his room, the food, the singing and the music. Everywhere was bright, fresh and immaculate. He felt very safe and secure. I was impressed with everything, especially the way I was kept up-to-date with lots of messages and videos.
Thank you so much for a lovely review, and we very much enjoyed having your brother with us.

A member of staff came to give Mum her Covid test at home, and straight away, I felt we had chosen the right home.
They set us up on a WhatsApp group, so my sister’s and I knew what was happening, and also a family group and sent pictures and videos of Mum while she was in there, which was very comforting, as she seemed to be very happy.
What a lovely place and all the staff I met were great; the team leader extremely helpful.
Thank you for such a lovely review. I will share your feedback with the team.
Sherwood House, what an amazing care home. Our brother was moved here during the second lockdown as the previous home was shutting down.

Sherwood House, what an amazing care home. Our brother was moved here during the second lockdown as the previous home was shutting down. The staff are amazing and do so much for their residents; would say it’s more like a hotel than a care home. Our brother is so happy for the first time in a long time; staff do so much to keep residents occupied and happy. Would highly recommend this home; it’s amazing.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is wonderful to receive feedback in order to improve the service we provide.
My brother, sister and I would never have put our Mum into care, but circumstances left us with no choice. We were all mortified at the prospect.

My brother, sister and I would never have put our Mum into care, but circumstances left us with no choice. We were all mortified at the prospect. In such a short space of time, Mum started to improve in every way. She went into Sherwood more or less bedridden and with no will to carry on. Now, she is living life again. Her mobility is improving, and she is smiling and joining in. It is obvious that she is surrounded by such caring staff who go way beyond normal duties and really care about their charges. We receive constant updates and feel we are always kept informed by the wonderful staff. We are all astounded at how far Mum has come. There are no words to convey just how happy we are with the amazing package that Sherwood House provides. Many, many thanks to all.
Management and staff thank you so much for this lovely review.
Cannot give a full report due to this Covid-19, it seems like a nice place, family orientated place for the relatives to see our parents finish their twilight years in. It's hard to give a review where you can't get to see the place fully from outside via a window. Calls and video contact fairly...
Cannot give a full report due to this Covid-19, it seems like a nice place, family orientated place for the relatives to see our parents finish their twilight years in. It's hard to give a review where you can't get to see the place fully from outside via a window. Calls and video contact fairly good at times.
Since my mother has been in Sherwood House, she has settled in much better than I could have hoped for. The staff have been very kind and helpful, especially in the current covid 19 crisis setting up video links and calls. The facilities are bright and airy as are the rooms. I would recommend the...
