Mum was moved here 3 weeks ago. She has previously been a resident at 2 other care homes. As a family we are so happy with the care mum is receiving. All the staff from admin, reception, manager, carers, nurses and the catering manager have ensured mum is welcomed and look after fantastically. The activities team are brilliant and mum has even but out on a trip. Communication between the team appears excellent.

My husband has been in the home from September 2024, and all the services they provide is excellent. I am completely happy with all the care they provide. They go over and above every day.

Fab staff, they cant do enough for the residents and family members. The food choices and standards are excellent. The units are always clean to a high standard, if you require anything for the bedrooms they sort it, from heaters to putting up pictures. The grounds are well kept with enclosed garden areas. There is lots of daily activities, BBQ's, Christmas Fayres, live music, hair salon, foot care.

The carers at Forest Hill range from the very good to the excellent and there are many of these! There is a real family atmosphere here with all staff - domestic, kitchen, maintenance, reception etc. contributing. One-to-one relationships with all residents are both genuine and realistic. Within their busy schedules all staff, find time for residents and family/visitors. My wife loves the food and really enjoys the regular animal visits. Forest Hill is now her home. P.S. Of the many excellent carers some are outstanding.

I am so happy my mum is being cared for at this home. The staff are lovely, patient and friendly. The food is amazing with lots of variety. The rooms are clean and fresh. They have fun days, activities and entertainment. My mum is content and in excellent care.

Every time I have visited my great auntie she appears to be well cared for. She's taking part in more activities than she did in her previous care home. It's nice to be able to visit her in a nice environment where we all feel comfortable.

My mother-in-law, who has Alzheimer's, has been a resident for two years now and we are extremely happy with the care offered. The staff are very professional and will work with you if you have any ideas to help the residents live a comfortable safe life. The nursing home doesn't smell of that usual nursing home smell that normally blows your head off like you would see in different establishments in the Worksop area. We took time looking around different nursing homes but instantly fell in love with Barchester Forest Hill Care Home! We based our decisions on would we live here if we had to and it was a massive yes. We can definitely relax at home knowing our family member is safe and well cared for.

My mum has been a resident here for quite a while now, she is very well cared for. The staff are lovely, the food is amazing, they seem to have lots of activities for the residents and go on trips out when possible. I don't think we could find a better place for Mum to be cared for.

My mum has Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia. She has been a resident at Barchester Forest Hill Care Home since August 2022. I visit her three-four times a week. The home is very well-run, all the staff, from the management down, are approachable at any time to answer your questions and address any concerns. Meetings are held quarterly for family to attend. Everywhere is constantly cleaned, clothing is washed daily. The meals are cooked on the premises and are tasty and nutritional. The nurses and carers are very good and they interact with the patients in a lovely way. The activities are varied and so, something will appeal to everyone. The two maintenance guys keep everything working and the gardens and interior looking great. The home is decorated beautifully for Christmas. My dad and I looked after my mum at home for as long as we could. Now we can visit and still look after her but all the help we need is on hand immediately and that is such a relief. Thank you to all.

My father spent 4 weeks at Forest Hill Care Home before he died. As a nurse, it is difficult to hand over the care of someone you love to others, but I can honestly say I felt confident and happy with the care and attention he received.

The home is always extremely clean, the staff are very helpful and polite.

Been visiting my mother in the care home weekly for over eight months now, I can't believe how happy she is and so settled. The staff, from top management to cleaner, are all so polite, professional and most of all, caring. I and my siblings would like to say a big thank you.

My husband has been at Barchester Forest Hill Care Home since 1st November 2023. We had issues with his previous care home. My husband has settled really well and i feel he is being treated with dignity and care. I can see an improvement with his mood. His Parkinson's and dementia are progressing. The staff listen to my concerns regarding weight loss. He has been seen by the doctor within a few days. I feel so much happier knowing he is being cared for and when I phone I am always reassured.

My beautiful mum was admitted to this wonderful care home with terminal lung cancer earlier this week. The level of care and kindness from every single member of staff is absolutely amazing. My mum won't be here for much longer but I am finding comfort knowing she is comfortable and in no pain. I recommend this lovely home for anyone who is looking for somewhere to look after themselves or a loved one. Thank you so much.

Forest Hill has a wonderful team of people, they are looking after my husband who has been extremely poorly with the best care he could get. Each day I can see his improvement. Forest Hill is everything a home should be, excellent, in all they are doing for my husband.

Very pleased with the care my father has and is still receiving. After a few weeks in hospital, on his return to Forest Hill Care Home, all the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure his recovery is smooth and stressless for not only him but the family as well. You're always greeted with happy faces from all the staff and they always have time for a chat and an update on Dad's condition. His bedroom and bathroom are always spotless as is the rest of the home. Just waiting for his health to improve so he can make use of the beautiful outside area and the many activities and day trips offered to the residents.
