My/our experience of care give to our mother is generally excellent, the manager has always been, helpful, kind and understanding and I feel able to go to her if any concerns. The nursing staff are lovely, kind and caring to my mother and the day to day carers have shown love and compassion and
understanding to my mother as she has dementia. They make her feel loved. The domestic staff to are great with her showing an interest to her and too are kind.

Fantastic experience with home close and its carers, dad needed residential care from September 25 and I needed accommodation for him quite rapidly after doing a quick review search of the local area I found home close and was able to get an appointment to have a look the same day, experience after
four months of residential care is that it is a loving caring home and the staff all seem to act as one big family.
I was very happy with the care that dad received with his stay at home cloase and would happily recommend to anyone of my immediate family if ineeded.

My brother received excellent care in the time he was in the home, before he died peaceful We always had a member of our family in the home while our brother was there. We were also well looked after by the wonderful staff, and nothing was too much for them. They were all very caring and kind, and
we couldn't have asked for better care and attention for our brother. Every member of staff are a credit to the home. The home deserves full marks for which I haven given it.

The care my family has received at this care home has been nothing but exceptional. They provided end of life care for my dad, showing compassion, dignity and genuine warmth during an incredibly difficult time. The ongoing care for my mum has been equally outstanding. The staff consistently go above
and beyond! The manager is especially supportive and approachable. She is always there when you need guidance and support. Her leadership creates a comforting and positive atmosphere that you can feel the moment you walk in. I truly cannot rate this care home enough. It is clear that everyone here works with heart and real dedication.

The care for my brother and all of his family was exceptional. It was delivered with love and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff being it in meeting my brother's needs, answering our questions or ensuring we were comfortable. Although we spent a lot of time there we were
not made to feel in the way. It was never too much trouble for the chef to accommodate my brother's fussy attitude to food! We are deeply grateful for the love and care we received at this traumatic time.

Staff always very helpful and my mother has now settled into her new home, she has got better in herself. The manager has always found time to discuss if any problems arise (with me).

My father was in Home Close Care Home from Nov 2023 - Oct 2025. His first year, he was mobile and preferred being in a 'home'. The staff were excellent in welcoming him (& us as visitors) & learning to cope with his frustrations. From Oct 2024, he was bed bound and incontinent, but still the staff
dealt with his conditions with excellent care and attitude. He died in Oct 2025, and this was dealt with in a very caring manner. My wife and I would be pleased to be in Home Close when we're older!

My grandmother has settled well into Home Close. The home meets the requirements for her complex care safely and well. Management and care staff team are always keen to help and provide support.
As a family, we are very happy with her standard of care.

My mother went into Home Close for end-of-life care. The care she received was fantastic. Her granddaughter has SEN, and the staff were just as brilliant with her, too. The staff did everything they could to make Mum comfortable. They are all excellent, from the manager down. Nothing was too much
trouble. Thank you to each and every one of you for making her last few weeks and days as comfortable as you possibly could.

My wife has been resident at Home Close since 2016, and I am very glad that she is in this care home rather than others that we looked at. The staff are caring, dedicated and professional, and appear to love their job. The general atmosphere has improved noticeably since the arrival of the new
manager, who initiated improvements straight away and is lively, friendly and dedicated. Her stated aim is to improve conditions for residents, and she doing this with great enthusiasm. The care home's situation, on a quiet village road and surrounded by lawns and mature trees make it a very pleasant place for residents to enjoy. I recommend Home Close wholeheartedly, and without any reservation.

Home Close has a peaceful & calm atmosphere. The residents when together in the TV room seem content. Management and staff are courteous and ready to answer/deal with questions.
Staff acted swiftly on 2 occasions when my mother in an emergency which was very impressive.

Many positive changes took place since new manager came on board. Staff all always smiling, helping with everything. Carpets are gradually being replaced by wooden floors (more hygienic, and smell better). New activities are being introduced. Huge thank you for looking after my mam.

I am so happy that Mum is here. She has a lovely room, the home is bright and clean but, most importantly, the staff are kind, conscientious and caring. Every member of staff I have engaged with, from the nurses to the carers to the cleaners are friendly and efficient. The Manager oversees
everything but clearly trusts and values her staff. She runs an excellent home and is very visible to staff and residents. She is making many changes as each time I visit, something else has been upgraded, decorated or improved. Home Close isn't as flashy as some care homes, but I'm so glad Mum is here because I know that she is treated with genuine affection by the well-trained staff. She was so independent and active before dementia, falls and frailty led us here and I worried about how she would adapt but everyone has made the transition surprisingly easy. Mum is safe, clean, well-fed and happy and I can sleep at night.

Very pleased to see that my sister had settled in. Impressed with the accommodation very light and clean.
We were invited to stay for lunch, which was most satisfactory.
The facility and activities looked good and all the staff we met were very pleasant and caring. The manager was a bundle of
energy and clearly runs a successful home!

My overall experience is excellent, from the meals, laundry, carers to the nurses. Every person involved in the care of my resident was outstanding.
The love they have for the job they do is fantastic.
The patience they show and the dignity they have cannot be faulted. I couldn't thank them
enough.
The care they showed me at the time of my sadness of losing my husband.

My grandma and grandad have been in the home for a year now, and they have settled in very well. The staff always go above and beyond to make sure they are both happy and comfortable. I always look forward t giubg ti the fine to visiting them as I get such a warm welcome and enthusiastic greeting
from the management team. I would highly recommend Home Close.
