3 years ago I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put both my mum and dad into care,both having dementia. I truly made the best decision putting them in Sherwood Forest. Everyone in there goes above and beyond and love my parents like I do.Unfortunately my dad passed away on the 6th January
but the care and love they showed me during this time has been amazing. I cry with them and laugh with them. The activities are amazing and there is always something happening to keep them occupied. If I had to do it all again Sherwood would be the one I would choose. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything I love you all.

Aunt has been at Sherwood for the past 3 weeks. During this time she has received excellent care from all the lovely staff at the Home, who go out of their way to make her stay as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend Sherwood. Many thanks.

My experience of Sherwood Forest is first class all staff are brilliant. They all take care of my wife superbly. When I am not present I know she is looked after and cared for and kept clean. I've not come across one member staff that would not go the extra mile. I would like to thank all staff and
management for doing a great job. Thank you again from a very grateful and very satisfied husband and family.

Mum been at Sherwood for several months now. The staff are very friendly and caring towards all residents. Family members are always welcomed and made to feel at home.

Have always found the staff very professional. Whenever I ask for help on anything I am promptly seen to and any problem is sorted out. Unlike the 2 care homes my wife has been in prior to this the Management actually listen and talk to you instead of down to you. The whole atmosphere is one of
caring.

I spent 6 days with my brother at Sherwood .. first of all the cleanliness of the home is to be commended .. the staff are truly amazing, so caring, for these patients.. their needs .. their feelings.. the activities that they do with the residents.. crafts, singing and dancing .. then the
outings.. it was so fun to hang out there!!! I wanted to check out of my hotel and move in lol !!!! The ratio of staff to clients seems above average (compared to nursing homes I've been in when visiting clients ) .. the food too.. well prepared and tasty!!! Of course lots of tea..
Highly recommend this facility for your loved one

Cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention that my mum received at the carehome. From the assessment she received to determine if they could meet her needs, her moving in, getting her settled, and ongoing care, every step was handled immaculately. As her condition deteriorated, the support
mum (and us as a family) received from the nursing staff and activities team was unbelievable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, we were always made welcome and a part of the "team". Sadly mum passed away recently and we received great support through that process... and 2 staff members joined us at mum's funeral.
Overall a very well run and caring nursing home ....all staff should be extremely proud of themselves.

The staff provide and give support to Mum that keep her comfortable on a nice environment. I cannot fault the care provided by all of the staff at Sherwood Forest and would highly recommend this facility to anyone requiring assistance, either short or long term.

While my partner was here the staff always looked after him really well. The food was good. When he passed away, the staff were really helpful and supportive. I still come to the home for coffee morning and always made welcome.

My husband's stay in Sherwood was a very good experience for him. The carers were absolutely kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was very good and plenty of it. He passed in December and the staff were so kind. Would recommend it to anybody wanting to place their relative
here.

Mum seems happy most of the time although she does have her favourite carers 95% of the carers are amazing with all residents. We have had a few issues regarding laundry and personal care. The manager is very good and approachable and is always happy to help with any problems. Overall Sherwood is a
lovely home and well-run. While Mum's happy I'm happy.

My mother seems happy enough with living there. We have had a few issues over clothes and personal belongings going from Mum's room. She's also had quite a few bruises and skin tears over the last year some of which I feel could have been avoided with a bit better care.

very good place overall. Mum has improved massively since being here, mentally and physically and in general appearance. She is clearly very well looked after by the staff who always have time for everyone and always try their best to cater to any requests.
