My mother has been a resident of the spinney care home for over three years. During this time l have been pleased with the care and attention she has received. All of the staff have been excellent and very pleasant. I would recommend the spinney without a doubt. Thank you very much for the care and
attention given which gives myself peace of mind knowing my mother is in good hands

All team from cleaners,kitchen,office,activities and carers have time for all residents under sometimes difficult situations work together to care for residents the best they can, its not just a job to them, they all really care for residants.
Cannot praise the team at the sinney enough

My Dad has been at the Spinney since September. Since he has been here, my sister and I, have been really impressed by the way that he and all the other residents are looked after by all the staff. There is always an activity for them to be involved with, from music, games, crafts, guest dancers and
singers and many more. There is always a lot of attentive staff whenever we visit and they are also available to talk to relatives whenever we need. His bedroom and bathroom is always clean and tidy and his personal care is excellent. The kitchen staff work so hard too and provide lovely meals, snacks and special events food e.g afternoon teas. Everyone who works there should be recognised for the excellent standard of service they provide, the domestics, carers, nursing staff, kitchen staff, events co-ordinator, office staff, maintenance staff and the managers (apologies if I've missed anyone). My sister and I can't thank you enough for the way you are looking after Dad. 'Simply the Best'

I am very happy with the care and support my wife receives especially allowing her to come home for visits. Katie, activities coordinator, has been fantastic. All the staff are wonderful and my wife is very settled and I am happy knowing she is well cared for.

Residents cared for very well, my mother seems very happy here. Staff are professional and very friendly. Always seems to have a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Residents go on day trips which they seem to enjoy, and are always doing different activities.

Mum has been a resident of The Spinney for 6 months. I'm very happy with the care provided. The staff work hard to provide a friendly, warm and caring environment for all residents. They also organise many activities inviting friends and relatives to participate .
I would have no hesitation in
recommending their services.
04 July 2025
Whilst visiting my mum. staff are always friendly and help my mum in anyway they can. One of the most important things is that staff and management are honest. It does not feel like a care home; it's like a large family living together.

We have found the care home to be excellent so far. Staff are always welcoming and friendly.
Walking into The Spinney care home when I first visited I felt it had a real good feel to it.
The staff are all great with my Dad and he really did settle in straight away.
The Spinney has really good
communication with my brother via phone calls and myself via emails.
Myself and all family members are overall happy with everything about the care home.

Mum has been a resident at The Spinney for over 18 months and myself and the family are more than happy with the care she receives.
Mum is very content in the home and this is down to the care that she receives from each and every member of staff, all of who are very approachable when presented
with any queries or requests we may have
18 June 2025
The care and support provided by the staff is excellent and they treat the residents with dignity. The care home provides a homely feeling and it feels as though the residents and staff are one big family. The home is very clean but may look dated in some places due to the age of the building. There
are plenty of activities for the residents to join in with and even events are organised at the home for residents and their family to attend. Management and staff go the extra mile to provide a positive and pleasant environment for it's residents. Individual rooms are clean and tidy, providing private space for each resident. Food is prepared fresh each day and residents get a small choice each mealtime and even the chef will offer an alternative if there is nothing on the menu that the resident likes. Overall the home feels safe and secure for the residents.

Very happy with care and attention of my husband nothing too much trouble, all carers lovely and do a lot to keep him happy.

The care given to my Mother-in-law is exceptional. When her social worker says its the best nursing home what better recommendation? My Mother-in-law is looked after as one of their own. My family are forever grateful for the care she is given.
16 October 2024
My mum gets the best care. All the staff are fbulous. She is encouraged and supported to do the things she loves, especially singing Ave Maria and joining in with the activities. The activities coordinator is exceptional and has engaged all residents with a variety of different things to do; summer
fayres, bingo, cinema days, Irish dancing (in which I participate). She has good care and the staff communicate with me on all aspects of her care.

I am very pleased with the care provided to my mother at The Spinney. She is very settled and I am sure this is due to the care and diligent concern that is shown to her by the staff and management in the home. I am pleased that I am kept well informed of any issues she may have, and this is done
without delay. This is the third home my mother has been in due to closures, etc, and it is by far the best!
18 April 2024
My Mum has been in The Spinney now for 5 years her care has been excellent most of the time, and we have seen many staff come and go. But they have all looked after Mum very well.
We have tried a few care homes but it was a weight off our shoulders when she came to The Spinney. Mum is at
end-of-life but she keeps on going, they treat her with respect and care.
17 April 2024
When I moved into The Spinney Nursing Home I was very afraid of what was to come. How wrong I was. I have been cared for over the seven months I have been a resident. The nurse ensures my medication is delivered at the right time. The carers from the senior staff on the ward are truly caring. I
would recommend this home to anyone for care and understanding.
16 April 2024
Our parents seem settled in The Spinney. We have no qualms with regard to day-to-day care and meals. However, sometimes there seems to be a lack of communication with regard to some aspects of health needs. For example, Dad has been having trouble with his ears over the last few months. We have made
enquiries with the staff regarding this, we believe someone has been out to see him but we only got to know through Dad. We also feel the matter of clothing needs addressing. We take clothes in for our parents to wear. But they end up wearing other residents' clothes even though they have been tagged.
25 March 2024
My care has been on the whole very good, with rare exceptions, mainly due to breakdown in communication. The length that I have been here shows that on the whole, I am quite content here.
25 March 2024
My cousin has been a resident at The Spinney for 12 months and has received excellent care and attention to his change of circumstances. Thank you.
20 March 2024
My experience in the home is excellent. The staff are very caring and will help in any way they can. The food is very good.
