I am extremely pleased with the care my mum is receiving at Mallands Care Home. She always looks well cared for and is very contented. Residents are looked after like family. Staff are always ready to talk with residents and relatives, always with a friendly smile. Communication between staff and
relatives is very good, I couldn't wish for my mum to be living in a more comfortable, caring and safe environment.

Our neighbour has been at Mallands for over a year now. She has lived on her own for many years and has found it difficult to adapt to Multi Occupied Living. However we have visited at least once a week, and often twice a week, we have been impressed with the compassion and care taken by most of the
staff to help her settle in. She has not been the most compliant resident, but the staff and management have gone beyond their normal duties to accommodate her often odd requests. The have encouraged her to join some of the organised activities with some success. I would not hesitate to recommend Mallands to others.

I feel so lucky to have found Mallands Care. The manager and staff are wonderful and the whole property is bright, clean and cheerful. This means that I can relaxed knowing my mother is receiving tip- top care and attention.

My wife has been a resident of Mallands for 4 1/2 years with advanced Alzheimer's disease. In all that time she has received excellent care from an also excellent staff. She can't talk or walk but is obviously very settled in the home and relaxed too. I am kept well informed any of issues and my
children are well pleased with the treatment of their beloved mother. I am very happy to recommend Mallands to their relatives in the similar position as it was to me when I made enquiries in locality.

All is excellent

I'm Simon, and my mum has been here for respite for the last week. I was very worried on leaving her because it's like taking your children to school for the first time, but how wrong I was. The staff were fantastic, friendly, and comforting. The home manager was an absolute star and very
accommodating. Excellent. Mum will be coming back again for sure.

My sister has been at Mallards for 2 years and during that time she as been well looked after and cared for by all the staff. The took a lot of weight of our shoulders knowing my sister was in the best place. We liked the open door policy. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. specially
thank to Roz and all her staff.

My mother-in-law became a resident at Mallands a few years ago and her, and our experience has been excellent. All the staff are so connected with the residents, they know who wants to do what. I can't fault the staff on any area of care. My mother-in-law was in safe hands & loved from the day she
arrived until the day she died.

I feel happy leaving my parents in this care home knowing they are safe and well looked after. The food looks and smells good, the home is very clean and all the staff and carers are kind and cheerful.

My uncle has been at Mallands for 6 years now. The help and assistance he has had over the years has been outstanding. The home is as close to being in a family home as is possible. The staff are friendly, very helpful and competent. The building, rooms and grounds are well maintained, again by
friendly staff. The food is of a very high standard... fish pie is my uncle's absolute favourite! When he needed to move to a home, we really felt we had found the best place possible. An excellent home.

I am able to visit twice yearly only, because I live out of the country. Every time I visit I am impressed by the continued professionalism, human warmth and kindness. I am impressed by the continuity of staffing over the past three years and the fact that staff know my mum so well, and deliver this
care with affection and respect. The receptionist is exceptionally kind and helpful when I phone from Canada - and do their best to put Mum 'on the line'.
22 September 2025
Both my parents moved into Mallands recently - we have found the home to be very easy to deal with + they provide a very caring environment. I am pleased that I do not have to now worry about my parents falling over + not being able to get up or be injured + not ask to get help.

Mum is always ready for her visitors we generally visit before lunch and she's fresh and chatty, we usually give her coffee which she enjoys still.
Sadly she's confined to her room as her condition requires her to be bed bound. Consistent staff is a huge benefit as they are familiar to her and
thats very important.

Mallands is a clean, comfortable, caring and very pleasant place to live. The staff have all been lovely people and mum has felt safe + cared for since she came to live. The food is excellent quality and tea + coffee are always available. My only comment is that ideally there would be more regular,
targeted, stimulating activities for the residents, so there are never days when nothing much happens. But the activities that do happen are fun, or interesting, or relaxing. I think the staff really do their best.

My mother and father arrived at Mallands in November 2024. Care Manager and her staff carefully and very kindly dealt with this difficult transition. Lately my father passed away he was treated with dignity until the very end. Everyone has been compassionate and supportive and helped my mother and
family deal with her/our grief.
30 September 2024
I am blown away by the kindness shown by Mallands. Not only do they take care of my mum's day-to-day needs in a professional and friendly way but they take time and think about the little things that really make a difference. I find great comfort in knowing that my mum is not only safe but
surrounded by people who really do care.

On the many occasions that I've visited Mallands, I've found a clean and tidy establishment, staffed by friendly and welcoming staff. I have noted the caregiver to residents, and in all, I am very impressed.
14 August 2024
I am very impressed with the care my father receives at Mallands. The staff are very attentive to his needs, thoughtful and respectful towards him. My father suffers from depression, and the staff and manager do all they can to stimulate him and lift his mood in a gentle and sympathetic manner.
Mallands is very well run in my opinion. The staff seem happy in their work, always welcoming and friendly when I visit.
There are plenty of activities for residents who are able/wish to participate.
Lastly, Mallands is well maintained/decorated and always clean!

My husband, who has dementia, has been a resident since February. He has a bright and airy room, looking out onto lovely, well-kept grounds.
The well-trained, caring, staff have treated him with patience, kindness and good humour, which he appreciates. The residents are encouraged to take part in
activities, and when the weather allows to sit in the garden and socialise with each other.
Our GP recommended Mallands and I'm so glad she did. I would do so too.
07 May 2024
We find our visits filled with attention to detail for all residents. The care is consistent throughout the lounge and all residents have different requirements. Our mum's needs have increased due to her condition and everything is done to cater for her change. Recently acquired funding for a
specific chair will make a huge difference to Mum's mobility to outside garden access.
