My father was admitted to The New Deanery after a bad fall which left him virtually imobile. He was just short of his 100th birthday and up until this time looked after himself at home. I cannot believe how well he has been looked after from senior management right through all the staff to the
housekeepers with no exception and the home is spotlessly clean everywhere we are now 7 weeks down the line father has agreed to become a resident thankfully. He has said it would be a job to kind fault and that 'he feels safe here'.

Visited for my grandads 100th birthday party. Room, facilities, food and carers were excellent. My grandad had a great time and was the next best thing to having it at home. I feel happy my grandad is safe and well looked after.

In my experience the staff at The New Deanery have been lovely - compassionate, caring and dedicated to providing high quality care. The grounds are lovely with modern facilities. There's always a positive staff attitude when I've visited, which I think reflects to residents and friends/family
members.

Have been to the home three times. The first time I went to my uncles room, the other times I saw him in the lounge. The last time was a private party. I have been impressed by the cleanliness of the home and friendly staff.

The New Deanery is such a beautiful home. Very welcoming and very clean. Lovely atmosphere to spend time with loved ones. A massive plus was been able to bring our dog. The grounds are stunning and the peacocks were just beautiful.

My mum was a resident in the New Deanery for nearly 2 years until she died from dementia in February 2026. I can't praise the home and its staff highly enough for the way they looked after my mum. They became my mums second family and cared for he so well, going above and beyond. I could tell that
she was loved by many of them . As relatives you also become part of their family and they look after you as much as the resident. This was particularly evident when my mother was end of life when they gave me great support and comfort. My family and I were also very touched that some of mums carers attended her funeral.
The home was always spotlessly clean and smelled fresh whenever I visited, all of the staff were very friendly and always said hello and had time for a chat. The food was great too. Mums room was lovely light and airy and spacious , looking over the gardens, which are lovely to walk around.
New Deanery gave me the peace of mind that mum was cared for when I was not there

Very impressed with the wonderful caring staff at this home. Everyone we met was cheerful and very caring .
Rooms are clean and functional with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Food is well served and a good choice is available and looks appetising.

My first visit to the New Deanery was a very positive experience and it was really good to see the facilities and grounds first hand, and spend some time there. The place is spotless and welcoming - with the staff team all keen to help.

My late mother died in December at The New Deanery right up to the end of her life she had excellant care and compassion. She was treated with respect and kindness. We as a family had confidence in her care and we felt that her carers were like part of her family. She enjoyed her food and had loving
help as she was unable to feed herself. All in all I want to say a big thanks you to all staff and management.

Both my in -laws have settled in very well. All staff, friendly and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble. Super home from home cooked meals, all their needs are catered for. Trips out available of which my in- laws enjoyed a recent trip to the pub. Mother in -law has enjoyed being pampered with
weekly visits to the hair salon within the home. Options for other agencies to come into The New Deanery eg chiropodist are available too.
All in all The New Deanery has a lovely welcoming atmosphere.

My husband was in the new deanery for one week respite whilst I was in hospital. The staff were very friendly and cheerful and couldn't do enough to help. My husband enjoyed his stay and talked about football nonstop which is his real love (after me)!! It was like a holiday for him, the food was
very good (delicious). He will be back in the future as he loves going there. I was very happy to leave him there as I knew he would be cared for.

After a recent fall my grandmother needed some respite care to help her rebuild her confidence. The staff have been so helpful and supportive with my grandmother and the family. My grandfather especially loved the fact he could go and have lunch with her and the family could join whenever they
liked.

Mum came to you after a short stay in hospital following a fall. The care was so lovely. All the staff were friendly and caring always smiling. Mum was only with you for respite care, but she was made to feel special to the team looking after her.

My mum went into The Deanery as a resident due to an emergency situation when she became ill. The staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly, welcoming & reassuring towards her & us as a family.
Through - out mums time as a resident she received excellent first class care. Staff were extremely
kind, patient, friendly & professional.
All her physical & mental health needs were met. Mum had a restricted diet which the catering staff facilitated ensuring her nutritional needs were met. Managerial staff were available to discuss issues & provide us with support throughout her stay.
Mum being at the Deanery was an excellent experience which I highly recommend.

Respite and subsequent end of life care for my brother over a 6-7 week period; Lovely, kind and human staff throughout the team from cleaning and catering through to management and all care levels. Cheerful when we needed our spirits lifting and quiet and respectful when end of life care was put in
place.
Aimed to cater for individual food requirements, very supportive and welcoming to family member on round the clock presence~couldn't have received a more compassionate experience.
Very helpful in mitigating shortfalls in communication and service from a previous care provider on several occasions, which would have had significant impact on the end of life situation without the management staff's timely interventions. For that we are very grateful as a family, that we could ensure the end of life experience that he deserved and received at the New Deanery.
