Mum was diagnosed with mixed dementia approx 5 years ago and living at home with carers coming in four times daily. After a fall at home and being admitted into hospital with broken shoulder, myself and siblings decided it was no longer an option to remain at home. Mum moved into Silversprings December 2024. Apart from the amount of pressure and anxiety taken from family, mum now has a life, engaging all day with others, activities to keep her occupied. Mum is well looked after, nutritional needs taken care of and living her best life. The care and kindness at Silversprings is second to none.

Mum continues to receive wonderful care here, looked after by hardworking, emphatic, kind and compassionate staff or our Silversprings family as we like to call them. The home itself is always clean, tidy, safe and welcoming and mum particularly likes the gardens when the weather allows. Dad still praises the restaurant level food and really appreciates being able to dine with mum on a daily basis. Mum enjoys the entertainment on offer and loves the four legged friends and young children who visit on a regular basis. We feel very lucky that mum is able to call Silversprings home.

I went to visit Silversprings with the possibility of my Mum moving there to be closer to me. From the moment I walked in and was met by customer relations advisor I knew Mum would hugely benefit from living there. Staff were exceptionally friendly & professional and the home felt it had " soul". Mum was lucky enough to move in 4 weeks later and has not looked back! She has settled in really well and has enjoyed making new friends. All aspects of her care has been excellent. The manager and all staff including maintenance team are always available and approachable for any questions/ queries. I would not hesitate to recommend Silversprings, they have truly gone above and beyond to ensure Mum feels " at home" .

My husband is having a very difficult time due to health problems and the care and support we have had from all the staff has been wonderful without this I do not know what I would have done. Caring for my husband cannot be easy and I want to thank them for everything. They always have time for me too which has been wonderful. Thank you.

As a daughter of a mother with alzheimers and vascular dementia, trying to manage her care at home was becoming unmanageable and making me extremely ill myself. Since Mum's admission to Silversprings in December 2024, life has been SO much better for both of us: unrecognisable from the life we both had prior. She is exceptionally well cared for, treated with respect, dignity, humour and love. I have not seen her so happy and well-kept for many years. She is no longer lonely and is busy all the time, enjoying taking part in the wide range of activities offered daily, from baking to Bingo, from coach trips to carpet bowls. She is eating very well and infact believes Silversprings to be a restaurant where her and her new friend eat several times a week as "you won't get better food and service anywhere else!" I've been told many of the diners are regulars for the same reason! Admitting Mum to Silversprings was 100% the right decision. Our only regret is not having made the move sooner!

Mum's dementia has worsened, necessitating her move into full-time care during the winter. Our initial visit to Silversprings during a dementia café was positive, with engaging entertainment and welcoming staff. Although adapting has been challenging for Mum, the staff's patient and empathetic care has vastly improved her quality of life. Despite living far away, we are confident she receives excellent care and is in a safe and supportive environment. We express our gratitude to the Silversprings team for their dedication.

Mum is happy, calm, well cared for and most of all safe at Silversprings. My sister and I continue to be thankful for the care and attention shown by all staff at the home. All staff, whatever their role know all the residents and treat them with respect and dignity.

I am so glad my aunt is now a resident here as this is such a lovely place. Inside and out it like a hotel and having met several of the staff I no longer worry about my aunts safety and medical needs. Each time I have visited there have been activities to keep the residents occupied, and I know they are also taken out by minibus to local attractions, such as garden centres. The food is lovely and the dementia cafe, held within the home, each month is an opportunity for carers to meet support eachother.

Beautiful house and grounds well maintained and friendly welcome from staff.

I moved my Mum to Silversprings for a two week respite after she come home from hospital after a fall. In these two weeks mum has become her old self again, they have helped her so much, she is in a routine that is helping with her dementia. She is eating so well and loving the daily comings and goings which give her so much to chat about . We have decided that in her best interest she is now a resident. We visit any time we like and it's such a lovely friendly home. Thank you.

All the staff from management down are so caring, professional and friendly. The care my husband is receiving in his final few months is excellent.

The staff looking after our mum was so very caring and can't thank them enough for their loving attention during Mum's stay. The food was always constantly at a good tasty level. Mum enjoyed the live entertainment when it was on. Thank you.

All the staff at Silversprings are fantastic. Our Mum has settled in well and we are happy that she is well looked after and safe. We feel welcome as a family when we visit and everyone is friendly. I would recommend this lovely home to other families.

I moved Mum to Silver Springs following two weeks of respite at another local home. In these two weeks, Mum had become a shell of her former self with no outside stimulation to help manage her dementia. After only three weeks here I can't help but feel so happy to see Mum content, eating well, and being social and the change was like day and night. The staff from management down are resident focused and as a guest I'm always made to feel welcome, it's like visiting Mum at home!

My ex-husband has only been at Silversprings Care Home for about 3 weeks. They have made him feel so welcome and included and he feels really safe. It was his birthday this weekend and at very short notice the staff sorted out a room to host a large gathering, they even decorated the room with balloons and made a huge birthday cake for him. All of the staff went above and beyond to make his day so special....even a personalised card. Myself and my daughter can't thank them enough for everything they have done for us in such a short space of time. Thank you Silversprings Care Home.

My sister-in-law was welcomed to Silversprings earlier this year. She has always been treated with respect and as an individual. It gives me peace of mind to know she has this care all day, every day. My thanks to the management and committed staff.

My wife passed away at the end of July from Alzheimer's, after spending 17 months in Silversprings where she received the best care possible. My family & I have nothing but praise for the care & consideration shown to my wife & ourselves, the staff became our extended family, and we miss them as much as our loved ones. My wife was made to feel very welcome in her new home & settled in well owing to the professionalism of care given.

For our family, Silversprings has been a life-saving experience. We were thrown into a devastating situation with my husband being discharged from the hospital for palliative care after an unexpected illness. Within days of arriving at Silversprings, his condition started to improve dramatically. The standard of kindness and care he received from the very first day has undoubtedly been a major contributor to his recovery. The facilities are excellent and everywhere is spotlessly clean. The chef and kitchen staff have gone out of their way to accommodate his dietary needs and satisfy his taste buds. Management and all staff are so kind and supportive to the whole family. We will be forever in their debt. Thank you Silersprings. You are all amazing people in such a beautiful place.

When my Dad first came to Silver Springs I was hesitant due to their rating, however, within a few hours of being there I completely changed my view. The home is immaculately kept and the staff are friendly and engaging and soon became like family. Every day there is an activity, my dad was always encouraged to join in downstairs or taken out for a trip. The consciously designed garden became 'our place' where we would sit and talk and peacefully admire the gorgeous flowers or look at the bunnies when talking became too difficult for my Dad. When my Dad was in hospital, he was refused to even get out of his bed. Silver Springs was the opposite and I truly believe this added to his quality of life. If you are reading this and have been concerned about the rating, please visit Silver Springs, have a cup of tea, sit in the garden, observe the interaction with residents and THEN make your judgement. Thank you Silver Springs.

Now retired, I worked in the acute medical profession as a consultant for many years and have had contact with many care homes and residential facilities over the years. When my Mother required help and support I was delighted to find Silversprings and incredibly grateful that they were able to take her in as a resident. She has really blossomed under their care, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The attention that the staff pay to the residents is fantastic, the activities are numerous and imaginative, and the facilities are clean and high quality. I cannot recommend this facility enough, both as a relative and as a medic.
