I have been visiting a friend for a few months and can honestly say this is the nicest most caring home I have been to. The staff are amazing with everyone. It has a real home feel and everyone is treated equally and with respect. They have so many activities the residents can join in. The garden is
Beautiful and accessible. I can not fault a thing and feel very blessed my friend is here

My mother in law has been a resident of Orchard House for a few months now and she is very happy and settled. The staff are all outstanding, they really care about their residents and treat them as individuals with respect and dignity. It is obvious that the staff all get on well with one another as
well. There is a real homely feel and visitors are made to feel very welcome . There are a number of varied activities and the lady who runs these is absolutely amazing! Excellent and plenty of food and treats , Mum always seems to be eating when I visit! The beautiful garden offers a lovely outdoor space for residents to enjoy. I cannot praise this very well managed home enough.

I have nothing but praise for the staff and management of Orchard House Nursing Home. My wife was with them for just a short time but, throughout her time there, she received the care, compassion and personal attention that made her last days easier for her and for us. This is a group of gifted and
talented people who are fully patient/resident focused (a rare thing in these times) who I knew would be giving her all the care she needed when I could not be there myself. And, when the end came, they allowed myself and our daughters to stay with her overnight. As a result, when she did pass away it was in the company of those she loved and who loved her; and for that I will be eternally grateful.

My Nan has been at Orchard House for over two years, and the staff (past and present) have always been kind, caring, empathetic and hardworking. They have always been great with my nans care, they also make a real effort to keep residents entertained and make special events like Christmas,
birthdays, and Bonfire Night extra special and all family members are always invited to be involved. I would highly recommend Orchard House.

Our mum has been a resident in Orchard House for around 18 months now, and I can honestly say that she has been very well cared for and the staff have been fantastic. Mum is encouraged to take part in activities such as colouring, gentle exercise and skittles, all done in the comfort of her chair.
It was the best decision we made to reside her there.

Since the new management a great improvement. No smells. More staff available. Manageress on duty on Sunday.

Can not fault this home at all. My mother came into the home after a fall at home. She is well looked after at all times, and the family has notced a big difference in her out look of life. She interacts with people and is very happy. They also look after us as visitors, always a cup of tea waiting
for you, and update us on mum's progress. Mandy has joined as the activities lady and gets everyone joining in which is nice to see.

My mother came into Orchard House after breaking her hip, she never wanted to go into a care home but enjoys herself now and is happy here. She is well looked after with plenty of good food to eat. My family and I are always welcomed whenever we turn up. Really pleased we chose Orchard House.

I have moved my mum out of this care home. It is the worst home I know. The staff are rude, They treat the residents like prisoners. They laugh at things you are trying to explain and have no care at all.

My visits to my friend are always met with a warm welcome and my friend always appears well cared for and in a caring and safe environment.

My Husband has settled in happily, the carers are so kind, and visitors are made very welcome. Cannot have picked a better home for my husband to move to.
He loves to join in with activities, and he enjoys the food obviously as he has put on weight.
Thank you everyone.

On 30th October I was visiting my brother and there was a celebrity impersonator entertaining the residents. The residents and staff were really enjoying the entertainment. He was excellent, some of the ladies got up to dance with help from staff. The look on these ladies' faces was pure joy to
observe, the way they came alive and sang and danced.
The entertainment lady works so hard to help the clients. Also, she had beautifully dressed the dining room for Halloween.

My aunty has been in Orchard House for many years. It is always so clean and smells really nice. The staff are amazing.

We have had wonderful experiences when visiting our relative who has been in this care home for some months. We often take our child and the staff are warm and welcoming to us and let him take part in the activities as well to keep him amused as he is so young.
There has been exceptional care in
relation to my relative's dietary needs as eating has become more difficult but they ensure she is able to eat proper meals and have the right nutrition.
Overall I would recommend this place to others.

Orchard House takes great care of my nan who was admitted earlier this year. The staff treat her wonderfully and are always there to make sure she is well fed, hydrated, clothed, kept company and more. Cannot recommend this place enough.

My mother has been at Orchard House for around six months.
This was the first place we looked at and were so impressed that we made the decision then and there.
The manager and her team are 100% focused on the residents in every way imaginable, therefore we, the families, need not worry at all.
It is always clean and tidy, the residents are fed home-cooked nutritious food and are looked after in every personal way.
There are many activities so the residents aren't just sleeping bored in a chair - Mum is very stimulated and happy and is grateful for the company, particularly the staff.
We are kept informed about anything relating to Mum's care and we're grateful.
I highly recommend this home.

No complaints about either the staff or your cook's meals.
Appreciate the long opening times though I hope never to turn up before 11-00hrs or come after seven hours.

My mum was in Orchard House for some years with dementia and she was cared for extremely well. She was very happy and the team of staff looked after her brilliantly. She became very ill and had end-of-life care and the team was marvellous. They were always there for her every need.

My step-mum has been diagnosed with double dementia, but is still very aware of her surroundings, and loves a good politics or current affairs discussion! The staff are lovely and can't do enough for the residents, who all seem happy and kept motivated. My step-mum says the food is good, and the
surroundings and garden are light and pleasant. I have no problem with recommending this care home.
30 January 2024
My friend came to Orchard House, and I found the whole process very easy from getting assessed to getting her in. The office staff were lovely and helped me so much. The care staff all seemed happy and friendly. She was very happy there. Would recommend to anyone looking for future care.
