The staff are excellent, very helpful, understanding, and very caring towards my wife. There is a nice atmosphere in Abbott House, and very relaxed when visiting. Very happy we found Abbott House to look after my wife.

Thankyou to the very welcoming staff who are able to answer questions. Lovely garden area outside. Dad is being treated respectfully and everyone is patient with him. Food very good and staff are monitoring his welfare.

Mum has been a resident for some years now and treats it very much as her home. All staff, the manager, the office team, those in the kitchen and those providing care go out of their way to meet the foibles and preferences of the residents. The manager has brought some long-needed stability, long may it continue.

My mum came to Abbott house for respite for two weeks really just to see if she liked it and to be near her family . Fully expected her to go back to her own flat but she decided to stay. Mum was becoming socially isolated in her own flat, but at Abbott house there is a lot going on and people to talk to. Mum has fully embraced this and as a consequence is walking much more which is brilliant. All things medical have transferred easily and appointments made for Mum which is great.. Staff at Abbott house genuinely seem to care about the people there and certainly know everyone well, not just by name but all about them which is again really lovely. Couldn't recommend enough.

Content with services provided, staffing levels are subject to cost constraints so not ideal, the staff there do their very best and are friendly to my mother in addition to provding the services required.

My Mum has been in Abbott House for a couple of years now. She absolutely loves being there, as she said its her home now and loves all the staff there. The staff really look after her well. If there is anything wrong with her health, they get in touch with me straight away. There is always activities going on every day. My Mum looks forward to playing domino's and her favourite is bingo. Tuesday they all do exercises which she also loves participating in. She also loves the coffee mornings, so she can talk to the other residents. The home itself is very welcoming and always clean and tidy. The staff are brilliant and very friendly, and nothing is to small for them to do. Mum also loves she hasn't any chores to do, bless her. On the whole Abbott House is one very happy home for all the residents to live in and they love living there.

Our mother has been a resident for 10 months now. On admission she was very confused, resisting any help from everyone including her children but within a very short space of time and with the care and attention shown by each and every member of staff, she has adapted very well and now joins in with a lot of things. The team are fantastic, whether they are care staff, laundry staff, kitchen staff or admin, everyone goes out of their way to make the residents feel cared for and their families and friends feel welcome.

Mum is now 101 and has been at Abbott House for more than five years. She is looked ate very well, even though she is very frail and can be a bit stubborn and difficult at times. The staff are attentive, open, friendly and conscientious and appear to work happily together under caring management.

Both my parents are now residents of Abbott House and they couldn't be happier. The care they receive is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. All the staff are very friendly and visitors are also made to feel very welcome. The home receives excellent service from a nurse practitioner at the neighbouring surgery and it is very reassuring to know that she is on hand to deal with any health concerns etc. The recently appointed activities coordinator is also an added bonus and she is already very popular with my parents. The food is excellent with plenty of choice and the kitchen staff go above and beyond to accommodate special requests.

Since my auntie moved into Abbott House in September 2023. She has been very happy at Abbott House this was the only care home she wanted to go and live at. The cares are kind and professional and helpful with her. Always clean and tidy at all times. Auntie is looked after very well. I am very pleased with the care she receives.

My mother-in-law has been with you for 10 months now and has settled in well. It has taken time. The staff know her well and provide good care and respond to her needs. We are kept informed by the staff of any needs or developments, any communication between us is handled appropriately and in a timely manner.

Since my Father-in-law has been a full-time resident I have found the care home is run to a very high standard. The rooms and other areas are kept very clean. The staff who look after the residents are first class and very polite. Also, the support staff are also very polite and go above their work to a good standard. I hear from my Father-in-law that the food is good and with 3 good meals a day. The nursing staff I find are very kind and good at what they do. I put the good running of the care home down to two very experienced managers.
30 July 2024
As always the staff and care they give at Abbott House is kind, thoughtful and professional. July has been a difficult month as necessary upgrading of doors and other work has been going on. The staff have worked hard to minimise the disruption to residents and maintain the quality of care.
25 July 2024
The care and empathy from the staff at Abbott House have been exemplary. My Mother has had a few falls and the 'Team' have looked after her over and beyond to ensure she is comfortable. Our mother is very happy at Abbott House and has been there for quite some time.

Abbot House is warm and friendly. My mother is very happy there. It is bright, clean and residents cared for with kindness and compassion. Communication is clear from the management team and questions answered promptly. The activities for residents are varied and stimulating.

My mother is in Abbott House because she has dementia. She is very happy there and the day-to-day care is second to none. The staff are lovely and treat the residents with the respect and care that they need. I'm very happy with the care my mum has and the way she is looked after... would totally recommend it to anyone. Thank you to all concerned.

Mum moved here about a month ago, what a warm welcome she received! Professional staff, providing high-quality care in a friendly environment with stimulating activities and great facilities - and a menu to be envious of! Families and friends actively encouraged to get involved. Can't recommend highly enough!

I am POA for a male resident with dementia. The staff are universally kind in my experience and have a good rapport with the residents. His physical wants are well taken care of but there are persistent signs (lost remote controls/absence of batteries/lost teeth) of carelessness, particularly in relation to his mental well-being, which I attribute to management. He still has a lot of intelligence which deserves stimulus.
30 April 2024
I have found the staff to be caring and facilities good. My stepmother is very happy here and I feel she is safe. I do feel that there are insufficient opportunities for residents to exercise when they are able, which likely leads to further physical deterioration. However I appreciate that this may be a resource issue.
