Latest Reviews for Saxonwood
29 April 2026
I cannot give enough thanks for the care and security given to my mum constantly by all of the staff and management. I speak for all of my family in that allow us all great peace of mind when we have full confidence that our dear mum is looked after 27/7.

A shining example for other care homes. Lots of staff and activities with good food at meal times.

Actually a comment on the five years that my stepfather has lived at Saxonwood, sadly dying one month short of his 95th birthday. In fact, looking at the first instance, it was March 16th five years ago it became home, and a wonderful, if not ideal, one, which he grew into, with friends and warmth,
among staff and fellow residents, and good food (mealtimes always his favourite time of day), a full day of activity. He adjusted to not being at home, and became alive in a way after being at home by himself for some years. I think we can only be enormously grateful to you all and to those who strongly endorsed the choice. Heartfelt thanks.

Saxonwood is such a high quality care home. I have nothing but praise for the way they are caring for my Auntie. At a very stressful time, Saxonwood have been a huge comfort to my Auntie and to our family.
We thank Saxonwood and all the Saxonwood family for being so professional, so supportive and
so caring.
Keep up the great work Saxonwood!! You are a piece of heaven on earth!

Good solid care from friendly staff. Group activities available if you want them, good range of food with regular specials. Homely feel to the place, you're not isolated and there is always some activity going on. Staff do a good job of fancy dress on the odd occasion! Edge-of-town location at the
end of a side-street means low traffic, easy access for emergency services. Good car park for visitors

Perfect in every way! Staff excellent - kind and caring. Cannot fault it. Mum seems settled and generally content after a difficult start. Her room is very comfortable too.
Thank you for looking after my mum. It's appreciated.

Saxonwood is an excellent home with caring, committed staff. Meals are varied and nutritious and chefs are well aware of residents' likes and dislikes. The care my friend gets is second to none. Rooms are well-kept and very clean. Staff at Saxonwood are unfailingly kind and compassionate, and I
would not hesitate to recommend Saxonwood to anyone seeking care for a friend or relative. Saxonwood is really a home from home.

Calm, inviting atmosphere. Clean, bright room. Food selection excellent, all home made. Staff very obviously caring, compassionate and friendly. A lot of thoughtful effort goes into making each resident feel welcome and valued. Gentle coaxing with smiles and positivity from all staff at all times. A
very happy place to live with emphasis on bringing out the best in each day.

My mother has been a resident for 6 weeks now, and from the start she has been cared for really well. All of the staff have been so kind in helping her to settle in and involve her with activities that she really enjoys. She has made friends very quickly amongst the residents and the staff.

This is a lovely, homely, and well-maintained care home surrounded by beautiful gardens. The staff are so welcoming and the management of the home is excellent. My Mum has advanced dementia, but she seems content, is very well cared for, and enjoys her food! She clearly likes the staff, who work
hard to make her feel comfortable and included. I really appreciate the relatives' meetings to keep us informed, and an excellent training session run by the Activities Manager to better understand dementia. I love the way that Saxonwood encourages other groups from the Battle community to engage with the residents - such as a very enjoyable intergenerational art session with local playgroup, primary and secondary school children held recently. Communal areas have recently been redecorated to a high standard, and the layout of the bright, comfortable lounge thoughtfully redesigned to facilitate a range of activities, rest and conversation. I am very happy that Mum is living at Saxonwood.

My mother( who has been a resident in Saxonwood for almost thirteen years) recently celebrated her 100th birthday. I had originally booked a local restaurant for a gathering of family and friends, but the venue cancelled this a week later. As it transpired, this was highly fortuitous, because the
team at Saxonwood stepped in and accommodated us all.
The level of service and quality of food were beyond what we would have otherwise received and the care and attention lavished upon us all was incomparable.
Every member of staff, whatever their role, made everyone feel so welcome, for which I am eternally grateful.
Special thanks to chef and her brigade!

Saxonwood had been referred to us by several people as a warm, happy place with excellent care. I have not been disappointed. Since my sister moved in she has been treated with the utmost respect. She has complex needs but always feels supported and included in all activities etc. My sister is happy
and secure here.

A very welcoming care home. My mum spent a short respite break at Saxonwood and the staff made her feel very much at home and special.
The building, especially the lounge, is bright and airy and her room was very comfortable and easily accessible.

Saxonwood Care Home is a haven for my Mum. She is warm and well cared for by genuinely kind staff. The food is specially prepared for her and as she says she doesn't have to shop, cook, or wash up, she just has to eat!
She is a joy to visit because she is so glad of this place.

Saxonwood Care Home staff and facilities are very good as are the food, drinks and the rooms are lovely. All in all a very nice place for respite care and residential care.
04 July 2024
Staff are caring and Saxonwood is always being cleaned and the office. Staff keep us informed of any problems e.g. If closed regarding Covid or other problems.
02 July 2024
Saxonwood has been wonderful to my 94-year-old neighbour. The care has been exemplary and she has been treated with dignity at all times. She has improved in confidence and offered encouragement at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Saxonwood for either respite or long-term care.
16 April 2024
The Saxonwood staff are always polite and have smiles on their faces and in their voices on the phone whenever I telephone or visit which makes for a lovely atmosphere and community. My uncle is offered daily activities to participate in covering a good range of interests and helping to promote
health e.g. chair exercise sessions. He has his own space to retreat to when he feels like it and that overlooks a lovely garden area. I am very happy that my uncle is getting good care and seems to be thriving better than when he was at home alone.

From making our first contact through to Mum moving in and staying over the last months I have felt confident that Saxonwood was the best choice of care home for Mum. All the staff is caring, professional, and well trained and put the residents at the centre of all they do, this includes the
catering, maintenance, housekeeping, activities, and management teams as well as the carers. The residents are offered a nutritious and varied choice of food each day. The activities program excels and leans towards a variety of subjects including music, entertainment, spiritual, nature, craft, reminiscing, quizzes, gardening, and much more. The care I have observed is always professional, respectful, and done with dignity. The resident's rooms are kept clean and well-maintained. When visiting, I am always welcomed and never restricted and I find myself being able to enjoy time with Mum rather than worrying about her - that is down to the Saxonwood team and for which I am truly thankful.

Saxonwood is extremely well run and the staff are without exception kind, caring, professional and friendly. The home is set in nice gardens at the end of a private road and the lounge and dining room are bright and sunny. It is always really clean and well-maintained. There are twice-daily
activities which reflect the seasons and topical events - a lot of effort goes into this which many residents really appreciate. The food is freshly prepared, of a high standard and caters to all tastes and diets. There is excellent communication between the staff who are always well informed and they work as a great team. It is very difficult placing a loved one into a care home and I am so pleased we found Saxonwood. My mother has lived here for a year now and I am extremely grateful to all of the dedicated staff who take such good care of her.
