We are a family are delighted with the care and attention given to our mother. She is always shown great kindness and treated with genuine respect. Recently, she has been quite poorly. The staff are keeping an extra special eye on her. The food, which is always tasty and varied, has been adapted to her current needs - thank you.

The staff are particularly helpful & cheerful. Having joined my cousin for a lunch, the food is very good, along with the service. Top marks for cleanliness. Lovely decor within and very pleasant surroundings

Staff all very friendly and helpful. Bright and clean, lovely gardens. Would love to stay there if was necessary, but I just couldn't afford it.

We have as a family been so impressed since our mother entered Abbeycrest. She has become so much happier having people to mix with and the nutritious food has made a huge difference to her health. The staff all go above and beyond showing her care and kindness. Yesterday it was her 96th birthday and the staff were amazing. A lovely cake and lots of attention. The staff all need a huge pat on the back.

Although my mother was only in Abbeycrest for a few weeks. In that time, I saw a superb level of kind and compassionate care from both the nursing staff and management. Watching how the staff interacted with all the residents put my mind at rest. Would definitely recommend.

I would not hesitate in recommending Abbeycrest Nursing Home to anyone looking for a Nursing Home for themselves or a loved one. The standard of care is second to none. The quality of care is outstanding and the facilities and food 5 Star. But most importantly every member of staff, no matter in what capacity, is a professional and they truly care for their residents and about the experience they receive. The staff are respectful, compassionate and understanding. These qualities were shown not only towards my Mother but towards our family too. I will be forever grateful to everyone at Abbeycrest for looking after my Mother in such a wonderful way and for giving us as a family some lovely memories to treasure. Thank you so very much.

Couldn't recommend Abbeycrest enough. Staff that have worked here for years and take the time to get to know residents and really care. Great food, accommodation, activities and facilities - couldn't ask for more for a loved one at this stage of life.

My mother settled in easily and soon made friends with residents and staff. Mum's health improved vastly over her 4 week respite stay and I can't thank the staff enough for their kindness and support.

Today was Valentine's Day. The lounges, dining rooms and reception areas had been adorned with such colourful and artistic decorations relevant to this day inlcuding rose petals and red roses on the tables. The activities lady had requested special delicious Valentine's cakes and refreshments to be served with suitable music being played in the background. It was a very happy afternoon for the residents.

I just think the staff and management are amazing and can't thank them enough for looking after my wife so wonderfully. Abbycrest is more like a hotel rather than a nursing home. I just can't fault it.

Truly couldn't imagine mum living anywhere else. She is so settled at Abbey Crest, fits in well as part of the floor she lives on. Mum is very well looked after and her needs fully understood. Abbey Crest should be very proud of their well deserved reputation!

We love this place! Nurses and carers are so attentive and friendly. They remember our names and preferences and are always there with a smile. The food is absolutely delicious, Mum loves having a three-course meal at lunchtime - 'just like a hotel'! Thanks to the chef! The manager has been brilliant, Mum loves her! From start to finish the whole experience has reassured and comforted me, she's in very good hands.

I'm very happy with Abbeycrest Nursing Home. We couldn't have found a better place for my lovely Mum to see out her time on this earth. Wonderful, friendly, attentive, efficient staff. Can't fault the place. Managed excellently. I would like the option to use the stairs rather than the lift but I understand why they are staff use only.

Abbeycrest Nursing Home is a friendly home-from-home environment where my mother has settled into her life after being independent in her own home. The conscientious staff see to all of her needs but also find the time to do the little things - nails, putting rollers in her hair that give her great pleasure. There are activities every day, in which she participates, this makes her life fuller than when she was living at home supported by family and carers. We find her relaxed and real moments of contentment with her allow us to be daughters rather than carers.

After being a resident at Abbeycrest for well over four years, my mother is now entering a phase where she has very challenging health issues, which necessitate round-the-clock care and attention. I am more than satisfied she is receiving that care and attention. My mother has been very happy at Abbeycrest and the team there has been very kind and conscientious. It has been a very pleasurable experience to have such a good relationship with all the team who work together very well and exhibit so much patience.

My dearest mum-in-law had a fall whilst at home which then resulted in her being taken to hospital where we found out that her diagnosis was much more threatening than just a start of dementia. She has been finally transferred to Abbeycrest which had the specialised care our mum needed. My mom-in-law's illness started to deteriorate quickly, the staff devoted time and extraordinary care. We were able to visit and stay with Mum every day, any time of the day. I have learnt so much from the nurses about end-of-life care and what it entails and when Mum fell asleep for the last time, they made the whole process so much more painless for her and for us. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone who is in desperate search of exceptional care for their dearest. I truly believe that this place is a hidden treasure. I would like to shout to the world to come and see how wonderful it is and the nurses who always hold the care for your loved ones paramount.
