Mum went into respite care over the Christmas period as she wasn't coping well on her own at home. The staff went above and beyond to make Mum feel welcome and safe. When family went to visit her they could see a real difference in her, mum was happy and had made friends and felt safe. I can't thank
the staff enough for all the care and support they have not only given to mum, but also us as a family. Mum now has made Stanshawes her permanent home.

My mother was needing more nursing care than we were able to give her at home. I visited several nursing homes and the minute I walked into Stanshawes I felt welcome. The atmosphere was very friendly and the staff we met understood my mums needs. Mum moved into her room within a week and we were
able to bring items from home to make it feel comforting to her. Since moving in mum is very happy, she has even started knitting again. As a family we are very pleased with the support and care given to mum and us.
I would recommend Stanshawes to anyone looking for a nursing home.

I cannot fault one single aspect of my husbands care
He is very happy , has excellent medical and nursing care , is fed well and loves all the activities
The home even did us an anniversary dinner today
They go above and beyond for the residents

My dad has recently moved in following a spell in hospital after a decline in his parkinsons and dementia symptoms. We get regular updates from the home and we are warmly welcomed when we visit. My dad is getting involved with the activities and enjoyed a trip to the park which is good for his
mental and physical health. His room is a good size, with garden view and is kept clean and tidy. It is reassuring knowing any dad isn't alone for long periods at home now. I hope he will settle well and be happy here.

My parents have settled very well in the home. The daily activities are really good. The food looks very good and there is always plenty.
20 May 2025
Both my parents are in this care home and share a double bedroom. The staff are all very friendly and I can tell by the way my parents relate to them when I visit that they are cared for and treated as individuals with humour and courtesy. The activities are excellent both in their range and
adaptations to all abilities. The food looks varied and of a very good standard. The weight of my mind knowing they are cared for and safe and worth the price.

I highly recommend the staff are not only friendly but genuinely caring, showing real empathy. They have taken the time to get to know my mum as an individual which makes a big difference in the quality of care provided. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and I always feel reassured my mum is in
good hands! The maintenance man even took time to get to know her! Staff go above and beyond thank you all!

I went in for respite care after an operation on my hand for nine days. Since I lived locally Stanshawes was ideal. The home was clean, and staff were very competent and friendly. However, they were short-staffed (I guess that this is a universal problem). Since I like my own company, I did not
partake in any of the activities although I enjoyed chatting to the staff when time allowed. My only adverse comment is that the food could have been better (if it was, I would have given my experience five stars).
15 July 2024
Needed to find residential nursing/care home for my husband's needs. His illness had become more
advanced after a few falls. Upon visiting Stanshawes I immediately felt it was clean, comfortable and homely. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I was shown around by member of management staff who
was very helpful and explained all about the home and its care. I knew instinctively that my husband would be happy here. He has now been at the home for over a month, he settled in straight away. He is happy and smiling when we visit and staff are very caring and compassionate with him. He is well looked after. It was very difficult when he left our home I was worried about finding somewhere suitable I miss him terribly. I needn't have worried. Stanshawes is very suitable. Food is good. There is a good programme of activities for residents which is well planned and enjoyable for them. It has a nice garden and seating area outside. I can visit often and it is near our home.

Dad has been at Stanshawes Care Home since April 2024. The standard of care is wonderful and the staff take care to involve the residents in various activities. When we visit they keep us informed of anything related to his day-to-day care.
04 July 2024
Finding a suitable home for my dad to live in dignity following a life-changing fall was crucial for his own well being and that of his family, especially my mum who had to come to terms with a life without him being able to live at home.
The care, attention, friendliness and genuine desire to care
for residents speaks volumes about this home.
It is never pleasant to see a relative have to live out their life in the way my dad has to but knowing he will do so with dignity and care is a comfort. We feel lucky he has this chance.
14 June 2024
I have had a very positive experience so far since my husband was admitted a few weeks ago. The staff are all very helpful and friendly and the nursing staff keep us informed of all they are doing and trying to achieve. The home and surroundings are clean and well maintained, a very pleasant
environment.

Since my Dad has been in Stanshawes Care Home I have seen huge compassion and care from all the staff. I feel he is listened to which I think is so important. I have been on different days and times and his room is always immaculately clean as is the rest of the building. Even though my Dad cannot
participate in many of the activities the lovely lady who runs it includes him so it makes Dad feel needed. As we know different illnesses and disabilities can be challenging for the staff to cope with but they are all amazing and communicate with the residents with patience and understanding and try to make them smile. We as a family are so pleased we chose Stanshaws for my Dad to be looked after and Dad seems happy there. The garden area is well-kept and pretty so the residents can enjoy the view and birds. The food choice is very good so they have a selection of meals. There is always music playing somewhere around the building which is nice. The staff make us as visitors feel welcome and relaxed.

All care staff very caring and friendly. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Plenty of activities for residents to take part in. Two TV rooms.

The care home is very clean. The staff are brilliant. They do so much for you at all times.

'Client-centred care' to the fore! Individual needs are accommodated even prioritised. Care plan is a 'working document' carefully monitored.
Dad is happy, warm, well-nourished and all medical needs monitored. He has much greater peace of mind and is thriving there. It is the staff who are the
'beating heart' they put the care into care home.
Facilities - would benefit from ensuite accommodation.

The staff are caring and friendly.
The home is clean and very pleasant to be in.
The rooms have hospital beds that are adjustable and very comfortable.
Everybody is happy to help.
I totally recommend this place.

Staff are trained and keen to assist with daily patient needs. The maintenance of all equipment is programmed for repairs or replacement as soon as possible. The care staff are friendly and helpful resolving patient requests. The kitchen staff are always eager to offer alternative food choices when
asked.
13 June 2023
The high point of my residency is the excellent care by the nursing staff, partially the exemplary medical care. I have experienced the high care of senior patients, which is of particular note.
13 June 2023
Every member of staff and management I have met/been involved have been so friendly, helpful and caring. Nothing seems too much trouble, staff are always available/close by and if they cannot help with an enquiry have immediately sought someone who could. They give such attention to care and keep
our daughter involved at all stages by talking to her directly and not at or over her. Our daughter is noticeably happier and well cared for. Brilliant!
