After my dad broke his hip at 93 years old with dementia, I had to find a permanent care home for him. It was not an easy task, and I must have visited 15+ homes, but this was my favourite without any doubt! . He has stayed at three other homes for respite; two were more like show homes than care homes, and the other was a close second but not as homely as here. Chi and all the staff at Colchester Road made us most welcome. I have chatted to some other residents who, without question, are very happy here and well looked after. I am so pleased I found this lovely small home! My dad is now very happy in his good-sized room and is receiving good quality care, which is the most important thing. All the staff are excellent at their jobs, and I sleep much better now knowing he is in good hands. It always puts a smile on my face when visiting all the staff so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this home. Thank You

My Dad has been at Colchester Road for 5 months. He has settled in extremely well and is enjoying his time there. He was very reluctant to leave home but since walking in the door he has consistently told me how lucky he feels to be living there. This is down to the excellent staff and management who have made him feel very welcome and looked after throughout his time there. The small nature of the home suits him. Staff and residents know him well and are familiar to him. Dad is quite active and independent despite his dementia. The home has been able to accommodate this by accompanying him on regular short walks which he very much enjoys. I have every confidence in the ability of the home look after him, manage his health and well-being and support him with enjoyable activities and companionship. He also really enjoys the food. The home are flexible in providing meals and snacks to suit tastes and preferred times of day.
