The team at Dorley House work very hard to create a warm, welcoming and happy environment. The building is old, but it is kept very clean. The staff are gentle, friendly and thoughtful. They have built a lovely relationship with my mum. Mum, after a respite stay, has asked to stay forever. She particularly enjoys the lovely garden and the food. They have an outing each month, and all the facilities they might need are brought to them. Long may Dorley prosper. This is a really lovely home.

My mother spent her final three years at Dorley House. All the staff were caring and supportive. They are professional, knowledgeable but most of all kind. I am so thankful to everyone there for making mum's time with them special.

This is a wonderful care home, which looked after my very elderly aunt who had dementia and who recently passed away. She was always treated with dignity and respect. The staff treat their residents with obvious compassion and love. They were always really helpful and delightful to talk to. We had to travel a long way to visit and were always offered food and refreshments. We received regular updates and newsletters and the care was first class. I would not hesitate to recommend Dorley House to care for your loved one.

Everyone at Dorley House have been amazing to my mum since she came in August. They are all so friendly and caring and she has received amazing care since she has been here. Dorley House is very welcoming. I feel so happy knowing she is safe and getting excellent care. I highly recommend Dorley House.

My wife suffers from vascular dementia. She was a resident at Dorley House for respite for a 2-week period, for her, and my, first time. After initially settling in, she was fine and safe. She was not anxious. I would certainly consider her return to Dorley House.

My Mum spent two years in the care of the staff of Dorley House. I have nothing but the highest of praise and infinite thanks and gratitude for the way my Mum was cared for in her last two years. I was kept informed of any issues, increased medications, concerns and welfare. The staff are marvellous, simply the best anyone could wish for in caring for a dementia patient.

I am extremely happy with the care my father is receiving at Dorley House. The staff are all friendly, gentle and efficient, and provide activities for the residents. There is always a range of music playing and even an old Hammond organ in one of the lounges! The home has a bright, light feel to it and the bedrooms are modern and well equipped. It is a peaceful setting with a beautiful garden and wonderful staff. My dad is relaxed, happy and in safe hands. What more can you ask for?
