04 June 2026
I would to thank all of the staff at Abbotsleigh Mews care home for their great service in looking after my grandmother, who is visually impaired and is recovering after a hospital visit. I would especially like to thank Akash for his friendly demeanour and for taking excellent care of my
grandmother.

My mum is currently at Abbotsleigh for respite after being in hospital for a considerable amount of time. The care she has been receiving is brilliant and to see her happy and safe is such a relief for me. She has a purpose in life again and is loving being there. She has her own room which we
have been able to decorate with lots of her personal items to make it feel more like home. The staff are amazing and have all been really lovely and caring. I do have to give a particular shout out to Jenny who has been so lovely and supportive to both my mum and I. You can tell how much she cares. I know my mum is in safe hands when I leave her after my visits. I really hope my mum considers staying here as she has loved having people around her every day, participating in the entertainment (she told me she played golf the other day!) and she is loving the social part of being in a community - something she does not get when living at home. I would definitely recommend this care home.

I cannot thank the staff highly enough for the care whilst my mam Margaret has been in there care now my mam is at end off life.the nurses always explain to my mam what they are doing even though she has dementia and are always there when you need to talk to them.the nursing staff do not get enough
praise for what they do. Thank you once again for the excellent care you have given my mam.

From the first time I met Kelly and Jen when they came to visit mum at home, I felt reassured she would be well looked after. Kelly, the manager, was professional, approachable and clearly runs the home with the right values. Jen, the senior, was equally kind and attentive. Both took the time to
really listen and understand mum, which made a difficult decision much easier.
The home itself is quite simple and no-frills, but what it may lack in luxury it more than makes up for in the people who work there. The staff are warm, caring and treat the residents with genuine respect and kindness.
I also really value that I'm welcome to visit at any time, day or night, which shows the openness and confidence they have in the care they provide.
Knowing mum is surrounded by people who genuinely care gives me real peace of mind.

To date, we have found the experience very positive. Being kept informed of any health issues that have arisen, my aunt seems happy and content. I especially would like to mention Ruth, the activities lady. That has gone well above and beyond of her interaction with my aunt and other residents I
have observed when visiting the home.
03 December 2025
Apart from the excellent care my mother is receiving, I wanted to remark on the excellent communication we receive from Abbotsleigh. We received intermittent and very few updates on activities, monies remaining and the recent comms on issues with the new portal. I greatly appreciate all the
engagement information, and the monthly updates on invoices.

My mum Violet stayed in Smythe for five years; she was very happy there. Sadly, she fractured her hip and moved into Berens Unit. The staff and carers on both units were kind, supportive and caring.
The staff would always take time to talk to me. Sadly, Mum passed away in Berens, she was only
there 3 weeks. I was with Mum when she passed, and the care and support I had was lovely. My mum's end of life was exceptional. All the staff are so kind, including the office staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Abbotsleigh Mews. Thank you.

Mum was a resident in Calvin House for just over 3 years until she passed away at the beginning of October. She always told me how much she "liked it here". She was always treated with dignity and respect. All the carers were conscientious and had a great deal of empathy, especially during Mum's
last few days.
Mum enjoyed the activities and enjoyed singing and dancing when she was able.
I enjoyed visiting Mum and having coffee and a chat. She loved to talk.
The carers were diligent in recording Mum's eating and drinking. If ever Mum was unwell or needed review the senior carers were always very proactive. I can't fault the care on Calvin House.
07 November 2025
My mum has been a resident since April 25
after suffering a massive stroke
As a family we were dubious about putting her in a care home however the staff have definitely put us at ease and we don't have to worry about her being cared for, all the staff play their part in making mum feel at ease
and try to encourage her to take part in any activity that may be going on
If we have any questions or queries relating to anything we can always rely on Akash, Mel or Alice to answer them.

Just to provide feedback on the high standard of care that the activities coordinator and staff give to Florence.
They lift her spirits and keep her active and involved.
It's been the best care home she has been in.
03 October 2025
Thank you.
Our mum was treated with dignity in Berens unit. The staff were wonderful. The room needs a little attention, but the very happy mum spent her last few years here.
She passed away here peacefully, and she was treated with love and dignity.

I would like to thank all the staff at the CALVIN unit ever since my mother arrived they have been brilliant to her always helpful and in good spirits whenever I have seen them with other residents it's the same so thank you to all the staff at Calvin.

My Mum has been very well cared for in the 2 1/2 years she's been at Abbotsleigh Mews. She has severe physical disabilities following a stroke and she has been totally reliant on the exceptional nursing care she has received. Additional to her physical care, she has been treated with real affection.
The care staff chat with her and make her laugh. The unit is always kept very clean and the gardens are absolutely lovely.
26 September 2025
Overall very happy with the level of care I am receiving all staff without exception are friendly and helpful (obviously well trained )
The rooms are kept clean daily and staff go to enormous trouble at all times to make sure I'm comfortable
10 September 2025
My mum and I went to view last weekend and one member of staff was really helpful and informative. It was the first time we visited and she put us at ease, and answered all our questions. The home was clean and all residents seemed happy, clean and well looked after. We were happy with the safety
measures that have also been put in place.
14 August 2025
Mum has been in Abbotsleigh Mews Care Home for 2 1/2 years. I have been more than happy with her care. She always says "I am so well looked after here and the food is so good too". What else can you ask for. Well done Abbotsleigh.
07 August 2025
My experience has been a pleasant one. The staff team are caring, compassionate and show great empathy when dealing with my sister and us as a family. We have been included in every part of her transition into the home and have made a good relationship with the staff. The staff throughout the home
always greet you with a smile and it has a family atmosphere
04 June 2025
We had our ups & downs but generally they were very good with Mum. Mum really liked one lady, I feel this is because she is particularly caring and understanding and an asset to your care home.
