Mum was accepted into Doves Nest Nursing Home at short notice and we were all welcomed so warmly by the staff. Mum had received end of life care within the home with the support of carers & the hospice at home doctors & palliative care, but we had reached crisis point and needed additional help.
Doves Nest was our saviour!

My mum was moved to Doves Nest Nursing Home from hospital on end of life care. The hospital, unfortunately, didn't pass on all of her requirements to the home, but that didn't prevent the staff from putting everything into place asap. One nurse in particular should have the biggest shout-out as she
made this happen. Your professionalism and vigilance is exemplary and is equalled by your never waning kindness and empathy to my mum and my elderly father and I. You are the home. Your presence and smile alone make it the success it is. You will forever have a place in my heart.
Another staff member each day would check I was ok emotionally, even making sure I was fed and watered. Thank you.
Another staff member's words as you hugged me when mum passed will stay with me always.
Every member of staff including maintenance, reception, kitchen, care
assistants...you are all incredibly special. You ensured that my mum's final few days were calm, and as peaceful as could be for her and my family.
Thank you

What more can I say other than I'm so glad I waited for a placement for my mum here. The quality of the food and facilities is by far the best we have seen in the North Manchester and Failsworth areas. The neighbourhood is excellent, no gangs of youths hanging around. Don't be put off by it being in
Newton Heath, it is an oasis that should really be under Clayton Bridge. The staff will do anything for you at the drop of a hat from the management to the maintenance team. The best team of people working in the best environment always makes a difference. Go visit it, it is more like a hotel than a care home. You do pay more but you get what you pay for, thats for sure.

A very pleasant and well-kept care home. Lovely grounds and facilities. Staff are excellent with high levels of care and attention. Décor is modern, bright and clean. Only reservation is regarding a lack of regular activities. Doves Nest needs to improve in the area of activities/entertainment.
Otherwise all good.

Our son has been at the home since March 2022. And has settled quite well, struggled at first but we got him an electric chair which was a godsend! My son gets on with everyone here, carers, nurses, cleaners and kitchen staff. We have a good rapport with everyone as well.
