My mum and other residents love having Walter the dog here. He reminds them of home and provides therapy. They really look forward to seeing him and other animals. The issues I have with this nursing home are organisation, some carers are not attentive to residents' needs and will sit on their
phones, and the main room is far too loud (TV). They need to have gentle background sounds to calm the residents (lower sound). Mum also needs ups instead.

When my mum arrived at Abney Low, she was so happy to meet everyone, but most of all, she met Walter, the manager's English Bulldog. Her face lit up when he was visiting the home.
The residents all love him, their faces light up when he is there. It's so lovely to see, I hope he carries on being
the resident mascot.

Find the home friendly and welcoming, with all staff helpful.
Nice to see people doing everyday things like getting their nails done by one of the staff and being able to pet a dog.

I really like the way the home makes every effort to make residents feel at home. I am able to bring my dog over to see my brother as he used to take him for a walk before he was ill. It brings him and other residents some comfort.

Clear communication on mum's progress and how she has been on every visit.
Staff are very observant and actively care for residents with genuine empathy.
Rooms are always clean, and clothes are laundered.
Warm, welcoming and friendly, no matter what time or day we visit.

I am mostly impressed by the majority of staff at Abney Low. They are friendly, caring and efficient and treat Eunice well and with dignity. Because of her lack of her mobility; she often has to stay in her room. I feel there could be more individual activities for her. Because Eunice is on a minced
and moist diet, some days her meals are limiting, i.e. mashed potato/1 piece of broccoli and gravy, although NOT always! The home is clean and welcoming, and in general staff are hard working and do their very best for the residents.

My auntie is bed bound but the staff always make sure she receives the best care. They treat her with kindness and genuine compassion, which gives our family peace of mind.

While there is always room for a little improvement as there is anywhere - overall I'm really grateful for the care and support my auntie receives. It's reassuring to know shes in safe hands with people who care.

Dad came into Abney Low on 29/04/25. We were worried he wouldn't settle. We can honestly say it was the best thing we have done. Dad settled in from day 1. The staff are fabulous and always have a smile on their face for not just dad, but myself and mum. Always made to feel welcome. I am kept up to
date on all dads' progress.
Can't thank all the staff enough for the care and attention they give my dad daily. Plenty of activities and lots of dancing.

My mum has been in Abney Low Care Home since March 25, having come from another home due to its closure. I have found the staff and the care our mum receives is excellent, always putting mum's care and safety first nothing any trouble. Big difference from the previous care home.

Our mum, who has mixed dementia, has been cared for at Abney Low with such warmth, patience and understanding. The staff treat her with dignity and compassion, taking time to comfort her on difficult days. It gives our family such peace of mind knowing she's in a safe and loving environment where
she is genuinely valued as a person. I would recommend Abney Low.

My father has been a resident for over 6 years. He is always treated really well and cared for. He loves all the staff, and he says they cannot do enough for him. He has never had any complaints. It's a lovely atmosphere, everyone is very friendly and smiley.
