Mum has been at Coniston House for almost a year. It took her a while to settle in. Thanks to the staff she now seems happy and content. We are always made to feel very welcome when we visit. The staff are very professional and hardworking while remaining cheerful. Her bedroom isn't large, but she
has all that she needs. She enjoys the activities & handicrafts and has her hair done every week. We are very happy with the standard of care, it is reassuring to know that mum is always safe and well looked after.

I visit my sister once/twice weekly. She seems to have settled in quite well. As she has dementia she finds it difficult to communicate this is because she find it quite noisy sometimes with what is going on. If possible it would be nice to have a quiet room at the home.

Janet came to Coniston House in March 2025 from another home.
The change in her is incredible. I visit very regularly and have seen a positive, Happy Janet. Her care is so profound, the staff always have time for her and myself. Janet is always clean and tidy. The comparison between the two homes
is remarkable. I know Janey is loved and cared for, and I am extremely happy knowing that my sister wants nothing at Coniston House. Well done, staff.

A very well run and caring care home. Clean, nice decor. Not too big, giving it a more family priented feel. Food is excellent. Garden is well appointed and enjoyable for residents, families and staff when outside supervising. The move of the dining area to the bottom lounge is excellent, a less
crowded feel and more of a feel of a proper dining area for residents.
Coniston is, overall, a lovely care home.

I am always greeted warmly and treated with respect and served a lovely cup of tea or coffee.

My dad was in a purpose built nursing/residential home in Hertfordshire and it felt very impersonal and cold. He moved to Coniston House and was greeted warmly, treated with respect and dignity at all times. His room was light and clean and he had his own toilet and sink. He was near the kitchen and
the front door and could hear the doorbell going and people chatting in the kitchen and he settled in there like he was at home. The staff were amazing and kept you up to date.

Mum was a resident at Coniston for four years.
After visiting several homes we found Coniston House, and what a find!
Mum was welcomed not as a resident but with friendship, love and care and above all respect.
Coniston House is not just a "care home". It was Mum's home.
They even especially
prepared food for her to tempt her to eat.
They also gave us one hundred percent support as a family and their advice was invaluable.
We cannot praise the staff and management enough.
Mum was treated with the utmost dignity after she passed even to the point of the staff gathering together to say their goodbyes.
We would recommend this home to anyone with no reservations whatsoever based on our experience and would trust them with my loved ones unconditionally.
We owe them a debt for and on behalf of mum that we can never repay.
They were all "simply the best".
Thank you.

My mother was a resident at Coniston House from 2007-2016 when she passed away. I saw a great improvement in the home during this time. The home had a 'family' feel and the carers were kind, helpful and knew each resident well as an individual. There was more consistency of staffing during the later
years of mum's stay. There was a big improvement of the home - the outside area was developed to allow residents to go outside. Mum was well looked after at Coniston House and I always felt welcome when I visited. They employ an activities coordinator and hold family events during the year. The staff are trained to deal with patients with dementia and the residents were treated with respect.

My experience of care at Coniston House was all positive. All carers, without exception, were kind and considerate to mum. Her room was kept spotlessly clean and pleasant smelling by the cleaners.
The lounges and dining areas were always very welcoming with fresh flowers and comfortable areas to
sit.
Mum was quite happy with the quality and quantity of food and drinks provided. From being very reluctant to go into residential care, she settled happily after a few weeks, enjoying the fact her 'independent spirit' was respected wherever possible.

The care which mum received at Coniston House was exceptional. The staff were patient, attentive and caring. They treated my mum like she was their mum and nothing was ever too much trouble for her or for us as her family.

My mother was a resident at Coniston House for several years. The term 'care home' is particularly relevant because they really did care about her. She really mattered to them. The way that they dealt with her and us, in her last few weeks, also showed the same.

I always found the staff helpful and caring. The home was clean and tidy. The staff always tried to include residents and visitors in events and to ensure that the atmosphere was relaxed and caring.

My wife and I made our 1st visit to Coniston House today and were very impressed. In all, we had conversations with four members of staff and they all were genuinely friendly and it was obvious that they cared for the residents.
Our friend Ron has been in the home for about 6 months and was full of
praise for the way he is looked after.
I had the job of finding a home for my mother a few years back and soon found out that a lot of the homes were bad, to put it mildly
I think it was the feeling of when you first entered that the residents seemed relaxed and at home. I just hope that if I or my wife need a care home in the future we find one like Coniston House

The care home which my father is in is outstanding. The care and love they show him is exceptional. They have experienced some deaths recently which they must be attached to and still, that does not stop them caring. Marked down in facilities because it would be nice for the staff to have proper
rest area not a table in the resident's area. Given as much love as it was at home.
