My brother has been in the Spinney Nursing home for about eight years. We are a small family and his nearest relatives are in the region of two hundred miles away, which means we cannot visit often. However, the Spinney staff, he now regards as family. He is respected and valued and receives
affectionate support. He willingly joins in all activities and receives encouragement to enjoy artwork, and singing. He is very interested in what is going on, and he, himself has a very caring attitude to residents and staff. I am impressed that his medication is delivered effectively, and that medical professionals are at hand, when necessary.
An important footnote. My brother enjoys , a looks forward to his meals, particularly the Sunday roast.
Thank you Spinney.

The Spinney is a very homely care home I was made very welcome when I brought my husband in here. The staff are very helpful & informative, I can't fault the care that my husband has received. All the staff that work here are really good from the kitchen staff, laundry, cleaning, Admin, everyone
makes you feel welcome. There's always something to do here for the residents they have a very good activities programme. If your looking for a care home that really cares this the one.

Excellent care home where the staff are friendly, helpful and go above and beyond to look after my Dad. Lots of events and even the occasional trip out to provide variety for the residents. I am extremely happy with how my Dad is looked after.
20 March 2026
Staff are always kind, patient and friendly, and their good-humoured and fun-loving interaction with residents is outstanding, especially during many and varied organised activities. Residents are provided with a fantastic variety of experiences. There is regular communication between carers and
relatives in the form of photos, videos, etc. We are always made very welcome and it is so reassuring to know that dad is getting the best possible care.
18 March 2026
The staff are always approachable, caring and kind, which makes a real difference to residents and their families. There is also a very good activities programme running throughout the week, giving residents plenty of opportunities to stay engaged and involved.
The home caters well for my mum's
dietary needs as she is vegetarian, and they ensure she has suitable meal options. The food is generally good and they make the effort to accommodate her meal plan.
A new manager has recently started and has already made a positive impression, very approachable and seem keen to support both residents and families.

My Dad has been at the Spinney since September. Since he has been here, my sister and I, have been really impressed by the way that he and all the other residents are looked after by all the staff. There is always an activity for them to be involved with, from music, games, crafts, guest dancers and
singers and many more. There is always a lot of attentive staff whenever we visit and they are also available to talk to relatives whenever we need. His bedroom and bathroom is always clean and tidy and his personal care is excellent. The kitchen staff work so hard too and provide lovely meals, snacks and special events food e.g afternoon teas. Everyone who works there should be recognised for the excellent standard of service they provide, the domestics, carers, nursing staff, kitchen staff, events co-ordinator, office staff, maintenance staff and the managers (apologies if I've missed anyone). My sister and I can't thank you enough for the way you are looking after Dad. 'Simply the Best'

Mum has been a resident of The Spinney for 6 months. I'm very happy with the care provided. The staff work hard to provide a friendly, warm and caring environment for all residents. They also organise many activities inviting friends and relatives to participate .
I would have no hesitation in
recommending their services.

Whilst visiting my mum. staff are always friendly and help my mum in anyway they can. One of the most important things is that staff and management are honest. It does not feel like a care home; it's like a large family living together.

We have found the care home to be excellent so far. Staff are always welcoming and friendly.

The staff are all great with my Dad and he really did settle in straight away.
The Spinney has really good
communication with my brother via phone calls and myself via emails.

Mum has been a resident at The Spinney for over 18 months and myself and the family are more than happy with the care she receives.
Mum is very content in the home and this is down to the care that she receives from each and every member of staff, all of who are very approachable when presented
with any queries or requests we may have
18 June 2025
The care and support provided by the staff is excellent and they treat the residents with dignity. The care home provides a homely feeling and it feels as though the residents and staff are one big family. The home is very clean but may look dated in some places due to the age of the building. There
are plenty of activities for the residents to join in with and even events are organised at the home for residents and their family to attend. Management and staff go the extra mile to provide a positive and pleasant environment for it's residents. Individual rooms are clean and tidy, providing private space for each resident. Food is prepared fresh each day and residents get a small choice each mealtime and even the chef will offer an alternative if there is nothing on the menu that the resident likes. Overall the home feels safe and secure for the residents.
