We can't thank the staff at the croft enough. My mum in law is happy, safe and settled. And the staff are so lovely.
03 December 2025
My mum has been a resident of The Croft for 3 years, when she became unable to live on her own due to dementia. We were delighted to find such an intimate, homely and welcoming care home with just 10 residents. The CEO and management have always worked with us to ensure that Mum has the best care
possible. All the staff have this caring and friendly attitude too and this has been so reassuring to us as Mum's health failed. Mum is now nearing the end of her life and I can't tell you how relieved we are that she is being so well cared for by the staff at The Croft.

Lovely home, friendly staff and a nice range of activities. Food is always enjoyable and good selection of options. Plenty of snacks available throughout the day! Varied outings to attend which is always nice to be out and about.
10 October 2025
The care home was recommended to us by carers who were looking after my mother at home. Following a period of hospitalisation we managed to secure a place at The Croft and from day one all the staff and managers associated with the care home have been fantastic. They are caring, compassionate,
friendly and welcoming and we have built up a fantastic and humorous rapport with those caring for mum. They somehow manage to keep mum smiling despite her frailty.
We can't thank the staff enough for the care that they deliver.
There are always sufficient staff on hand both day and night to meet mums care needs and those of the other residents.
We are always made welcome whenever we visit and the home put on a special birthday celebration for a small group of family and friends the other week. Thanks again to the chef and all the special staff xx

My father feels very comfortable and extremely happy at The Croft. He is very well cared for by all the staff. The meals are excellent. The activities to help brighten his days are creative and very enjoyable for him. To be able to see a doctor once a week is very reassuring for him. He has gained
confidence and an ability to relax and enjoy life. As a family we are very happy for him.

Lovely care home with friendly, caring staff who look after my mum with respect along with a good dose of humour! Equipment available for dealing with mum's mobility issues. When there have been concerns about mum's health, staff have acted promptly and contacted relevant healthcare professionals,
whilst keeping family informed.

Croft review:
I can't speak highly enough about the entire team at the Croft.
They have managed our mum's transition from complete independence to a need for daily physical support with a fantastic level of professionalism, empathy, and dignity plus humour and warmth.
The Croft isn't a Care home,
it's a second family and I don't know where we would have been without them.

Since my auntie has been in The Croft care home (December 2022), I have been very pleased with the care my auntie has received. The food is excellent. I feel very reassured she is getting well looked after. And would highly recommend The Croft care home.
28 August 2024
My sister came to The Croft approximately eight months ago. All the staff including the chef are outstanding! They genuinely care about the resits, nothing is too much trouble! If you want a particular food they will get it in. The food is excellent, full of flavours and attractively presented! The
upgraded lounge is enjoyed by the residents and visitors. A doctor visits weekly and when needed, which is reassuring.
20 August 2024
As always the staff at The Croft are kind, helpful and always ready to assist when needed. Quite often they are very busy and will still go out of their way to assist my mother. They have a good sense of humour and always have a smile and a joke when needed. It's a very hard job but everyone I have
met at The Croft does their very best to help and make sure residents are in comfort and happy!
16 August 2024
Lovely, caring staff that really give you the feel everyone is all part of a family. Always made to feel welcome, not short of a good joke and can't do enough for you! Patience and Ice Cream a plenty.
20 June 2024
My first stay in a care home and I can't believe how lucky I am to have chosen this one. From the moment I arrived, nothing has too much trouble. The food is excellent, plenty of tea or coffee (most important!) and the care is exceptional. I am not here permanently but if I ever need care again I
hope there will be a room for me here.
17 April 2024
I was highly recommended another residential home by the daughter of a resident there. Which then led me to visit both that one and The Croft. Both are run by the Allandale Care Group.
I was very impressed by both places.
But The Croft with just 10 residents felt the right place for Mum.
The
relaxed and friendly atmosphere is wonderful. Staff always make time to speak to visitors and residents. They are very supportive, warm and caring.
They took time to get to know Mum well and encourage her independence. The care she receives is excellent.
I have observed everyone from the office to cleaners, cooks, carers, being involved and contributing to the benefit and well-being of all the residents.
The teamwork is exemplary.
Family members are always welcome at any time and are involved and updated on any changes promptly.
We are very fortunate to have found this home for Mum and the dedicated staff have come to feel like extended family members.

Have been meaning to do this for a few weeks (sorry). Following a long traumatic stay in hospital that I never thought she’d come out of, our family had to make the tough decision to look for a care home for Mum as Dad could no longer manage and neither myself or my brother live near enough to help
more. Cannot thank their general manager enough, she’s held our hands and guided us from the initial viewing, liaised with our useless social worker to get Mum safely settled. She arrived very frail and bewildered, fast forward to now she’s eating, dancing and literally skipping around, which she used to do a long time ago, but most importantly she has her smile back. All the staff are amazing so friendly, caring and treat Mum with such dignity. Nothing is too much trouble. You feel like you’re in someone’s home, it’s immaculate, the rooms are lovely with beautiful furnishings and attention to detail. The menus look great, keep saying to Dad to have a meal up there, he’s even planning to reside there! Thank you so much.

The croft is very well run. With the highest standard of care to all patients, and very clean. All the staff should be given a gold star for all their hard work. Well done to everyone at The Croft.

I feel so lucky that there was a vacancy at The Croft for my 93-year-old mother when she told me she couldn't cope any longer and needed to be looked after.
She couldn’t have asked for better care in such a lovely, friendly, and cozy environment. Within a very short time of arriving, she was much
better and a bit more like her old self. She was well-fed, helped to take her medication and she started to sleep well. She became quite forgetful and would often say that she hadn't eaten anything for breakfast. Some staff would frequently make her more toast and tea. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
All the staff treated her with respect and kindness and chatted with her as if she was an old friend. They were sensitive to her sadness at the loss of her independence, always quick to call for medical help if it was needed, and extremely professional in dealing with her complex medical needs. I particularly appreciated their support for me and my family.

The Croft, staff and management were truly amazing. From the time of visiting my father in the Hospital before being released to the Croft, to the time in the home, the care provided was exceptional and went well beyond our expectations. The Croft doesn’t just provide care, it provides a loving
family environment for all residents and families visiting. Constantly keeping us updated on a daily basis with care reports was a blessing and peace of mind to know my father was being cared for 24/7. Having spoken to regional care organisations on the Wirral, they all reported the same comments - how impressed they were with the Croft! A huge thank you from all the family.

Our mum is 95 and has been at the Croft for 3 years. She has a nice bright, comfortable room.
From day one staff were welcoming and got to know her personality and needs. As time has gone on and her confusion increased the staff have adapted their support. They look after her well and try to jolly
her along if she is feeling down. They understand her personality and try to keep her in good spirits. Because it’s small there is always someone nearby and staff pop in with a smile and a cup of tea quite often. The food is good. She is well cared for and the staff keep the family up to date about her care. We (her children) feel we can speak with staff to discuss our mum and feel welcome when we visit. The staff work very hard. Activities have improved a lot which is good. I haven’t rated activities- no reflection on the excellent activities coordinator. We think it would be better still if more hours were possible as she is no longer really able to keep herself occupied.
31 January 2024
I couldn’t be happier with the care my mum gets at The Croft. The staff are so friendly, caring and supportive of her needs. Mum’s needs have become more complex over time and the staff have adapted their approach and processes to ensure her continuing comfort and well-being.
The Croft is a
wonderful place - thank you to all.
