My mum Rosemary came here in May. The care team are amazing. I feel they go above and beyond.
Mum always looks clean and well presented.
I couldn't wish for a better home to take care of my mum.

Staff have made every effort to integrate Stephen into the home and help him enjoy life which is challenging at times.

Mum has lived here for 5 months and
is treated with dignity, kindness,respect, her needs are met safely in a person centred and timely manner.On her birthday, carers entered singing "Happy Birthday," and every staff member wished her well. Residents joined in too one brought a card,another recited
a verse. It was good to see Mum happy and settled after such a traumatic year. The home has a real sense of community among staff, residents and families. They decorated a private room with balloons and banners, and the chef made an IDDSI level-5 cake so she could safely enjoy it.Tea and cake for her guests, such thoughtful touches. Mum beamed all day. We are deeply grateful for the compassion, dignity and warmth shown daily by ALL staff in ALL areas. The Devonshire has turned a difficult time into comfort and belonging. Thank you all.

I have visited my aunty on a number of occasions before her recent passing. I can honestly say the care and compassion shown to my aunty and us as a family was exemplary.
The care assistants really do care and all seem to really enjoy their jobs. There is a lovely atmosphere in the home. My aunty
never had a bad word to say about anyone there, and also really enjoyed the food.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for care.

Today I attended a family birthday party of a resident in the home. The staff decorated and catered for us all brilliantly. The staff were happy, caring and attentive. Thank you so much. You also cared for my nan before she passed away and provided great care for her and even attended the funeral.
We will always be grateful.

Marian is so happy at the home, having carers looking after he. She is so well cared for. Lots of activities to do and the home has a lovely atmosphere.

Staff are all nice and helpful. They take care of Mum well. It does take time if Mum steps on mat for them to come, but I appreciate staff shortages at times. The home is usually clean.

My mother came to Devonshire just over a year ago and it has been lovely to see her blossom over this time. The staff who care for her are so very kind and considerate of her needs. I would love to decorate her room but she is having none of it and is happy how it is. I must give a shout out to the
entertainment/activities team who go above and beyond with so many ideas to engage Mum. Also Lynda in reception answering my endless enquiries.

I visited my dad for 5 days - 13th to 17th Aug - and spent an average of 5/6 hours per day in the home and took him out into the community. The staff are good in general. Manager? No one there, which was poor. 12' x 10' room + toilet unacceptable! Food needs improvement. Budget windows need
replacement glass. There are concerns!

My friend seems very settled here, and the Staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful. She doesn't seem interested in joining in any social activities, which I think is a shame, as she spends most of her time watching TV. She is frail, however, and over 90 - so perhaps this is understandable. It
would help if she would wear her hearing aids.....!

My mother has been at the Devonshire House and Lodge for 2 years now and we have been so pleased that we chose this home for her. The way the home is set up is great for residents to be as independent as they are able to be, the facilities are fantastic, with many communal activity rooms and
wonderful outside areas and gardens to enjoy. The staff are caring and attentive, friendly and welcoming. There is also a brilliant activities team who do a great job in engaging with the residents and involving their families in the various activities arranged.
02 July 2025
Staff very caring. Treating resident as an individual and discussing their interests. Keeping an eye on them. Taking to (common) room. Also discussed an issue with management (only TV-related). Sorted out happily. Had a cup of tea.

Mum had dementia and was a resident at Devonshire House for 11 months when she passed away last week. The care, compassion, understanding and patience shown to her during her stay there was superb.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Devonshire House to anyone looking for a care home for a
relative or friend.

An excellent care home, my father is very well cared for. The food and activities are excellent and every taste is catered for. My father has ongoing health issues and his medical care is second to none with hourly obvs when necessary which is a great comfort to me and my family. Dad is very happy
here.

Mum has been really well looked after at Devonshire House and Lodge and the staff have shown her great kindness, compassion and dignity. This care has been extended to family too and communications are very good. The facilities are excellent here with a really good choice of activities and the
surrounding gardens are just delightful.

Devonshire House is an excellent care home providing home from home comforts. The staff have always been kind and caring and treated mum with dignity and respect. There are many activities on offer should mum chose to join in. The home is clean and tidy at all times, and as visitors we have always
been made welcome and invited to various events throughout the year. The whole team of staff have created a lovely professional care home that I would highly recommend.

We are very happy with the care our mother receives from Devonshire House. The facilities are excellent, as is the lifestyle program. The food can be a bit variable but steps are being taken to try and improve this. All the staff are friendly and approachable.

Every time we come here the home is clean, and well kept. The staff always greet us with a smile. My mum is always happy. The entertainment team always keep the residents occupied and not just sat around in chairs which is good to see.
