Very kind and caring atmosphere. The staff are excellent and food is very good. and different tastes are catered for.
30 June 2026
The Fleet stands out on all levels. The environment is lovely, always clean and comfortable. Staff are so genuinely friendly and caring and the care and support is outstanding. It's so comforting to know my mum is being cared for so well. Its a process registering your parent into care, but The
Fleet and staff here made it such an assuring process. Couldn't have asked for more.

My husband has received a high standard of care, delivered with kindness and good humour. He has had his needs dealt with appropriately. He is content, as his medication has been adjusted to make his life as comfortable and painfree as possible. All members of staff, carers, nurses and the doctor
have worked together to achieve the best quality life for him. The atmosphere in all areas is friendly and supportive, and visitors of the resident are made welcome.

I visit my good friend (of 25 years) each week. Sometimes he is unshaven and unshowered and oddly dressed. I understand that he has the freedom to refuse help. I sometimes find it difficult to communicate with staff whose English is poor. Do you have a designated person assigned to be responsible
for an individual? It might be helpful if the staff 'on duty' were not so often using their mobile phones. At times the noise level in the corridor is too loud. Generally the staff seem supportive and helpful.

My dad was a very challenging resident and the staff could not have been more kind, capable and compassionate. There is a great 'team' friendly staff vibe. The building and garden are very smart and modern with a light airy feel. The food was delicious! I would not hesitate to recommend The Fleet.
13 May 2026
I have found that the care and support given to my wife has been exceptional. Nothing seems to be too much trouble from the kind hard-working staff. Also the thought, support, sensitivity and provisions provided for visitors is amazing..
The building itself is kept spotless by the cleaners that
perform a difficult task so well, and take a real pride in their work.
The food is A1. In the lounge near the entrance, there is always a supply of delicious home-made cakes along with a bean to coffee machine that visitors are invited to take advantage of.
I have visited friends in other care homes and I must say that the Fleet surpasses them all.
In conclusion, I cannot find a single thing that I feel Would improve the service and management of the Fleet.
So well done!

What a wonderful care home, friendly staff and so much to do with activities. The place is clean and tidy and lovely food. I find that the staff is excellent with the residence and nothing is too much trouble for them, the entertainment is fantastic, they always have something going on. The best
care home I visit.

My mother was offered a place at the Fleet care home for respite care, but then didn't want to go back home. The facilities are a very high standard, but what stands out are the staff. There is a lovely friendly supportive atmosphere which you sense as soon as you walk in. Mum was made to feel
welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The nurse manager was outstanding in looking after her and organised extra GP visits, home oxygen and complicated prescriptions which required considerable persistence. The care staff did an excellent job and were kind and thoughtful. I and my family were delighted that mum spent her last weeks in this home.

We recently visited a friend of ours in your home and were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and friendly manager on duty that day, who gave us complimentary refreshments before seeing our friend. The staff create a homely atmosphere by being, friendly, approachable and helpful. We loved the
complimentary cafe and seating area, where we could sit and talk as a group, and admire the fine art work of the residents displayed. We walked away feeling our friends were in good hands, based on our experience. We would highly recommend it. We have had a number of friends here over the years and have always found the staff kind and helpful.

When my dad could no longer manage at home, I could not have wished for him to be anywhere else. He settled in and it was his home. He was treated with love and affection from everyone who looked after him. The facilities were second to none. Family birthday teas, entertainment and trips out.
Spending time in the garden, helping out. I cannot thank everyone enough for all their kindness.
30 January 2026
The staff are so in tune with mum's needs. Highly experienced with dementia. Understanding of her pride & humility. The building is fantastic. So well planned and every conceivable aid has been implemented. Staff and residents are all calm, happy and welcoming. Its a game changer of care homes.
Something like I'd expect in Sweden - that quality.

I have had some experience with care homes (mother, mother-in-law, sister) and so when I was told that my best and closest friend would be going into one after her stay in hospital, I was naturally concerned that the right one would be found for her. The Fleet Care Home was chosen and so far I
really cannot fault it. All of the staff are all very friendly and helpful. My friend has settled in very well, she is extremely well looked after and if anything is needed there are always staff nearby.
The activities which are put on for the residents are varied, something for everyone.
27 January 2026
We were invited to a lunch with one of your patients. It was a joyful occasion with lots of family and friends. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. If I was ever in need of a nursing home the Fleet Care Home would be at the top of the list! Thank you.
16 January 2026
We organised a family and friends get together for my mother in law. It was fantastic from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble. They provided a chicken curry with vegetarian option which was really lovely and everyone enjoyed it. We all gathered in the downstairs lounge area which was
perfect. We really appreciated all the effort from the staff at the nursing home.
16 January 2026
Excellent service. Mum has been made to feel right at home at Fleet and the staff have been attentive and the care has been good. Mum's needs and wants are taken into account and we're pleased as a family how the care has been.
05 January 2026
Since Connie arrived in August 2025, this has been our experience:
It's as if every member of staff have formed their own little company to provide the very best possible loving care for members of their OWN family.
Whether it be reception, office admin, kitchen, cleaning, nursing, gardening,
creative activities, hairdressing or maintenance, everyone is working as a team. Their professionalism, motivation and joy shine through. SO grateful.

My mum who had advanced dementia and cancer spent her last few months of life at the Fleet on Macbride floor, and died a few days ago while receiving exceptional nursing care. I have been blown away by the extraordinary care she has experienced over her 4 months there. The staff are so lovely and
have created such a great family atmosphere. Each day is packed with joyful moments, activities and fun. My favourite anecdote is when mum and another resident got up at 2am and were definitely ready to start the day rather than go back to bed: the carer made them a midnight feast in the lounge area (to keep the noise away from the other residents) and got out the karaoke machine for them to enjoy, and that they did! What a great example of mum getting to live life and have fun on her terms. My only regret is not making the decision to move her to the fleet earlier. It really is such an extraordinary care home and I am so impressed and so grateful for mum's wonderful care right until the end.

Fleet Nursing home has been a shelter in the storm following my wifes brain injury. Both the the management team and staff have been very approachable and have done the utmost to provide a secure settled environment for my wife. Thank you

The Fleet is the furthest away from a care home that you could ever imagine. From the minute my mum walked into the Fleet, she was met by lovely receptionists, shown around and then taken up to see her room, where she was blown away by the new furniture, carpet and the view! She settled right away
and was very happy there.
My mum had advanced dementia and a terminal illness, but the care and support she received from the MacBride unit was exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the kindness from the the nurses and HCA's, not only towards mum, but to myself and my dad was incredible.
The entire team are truly inspiring and exceptional people, including the chef who made mum her favourite birthday cake, which was brought into her room along with a traditional tea pot and cups and saucers for us to celebrate her last birthday.
i will be forever grateful to everyone there for everything they did for my mum and how they treated her with absolute dignity right until the end.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care given to Dad during his stay with you all. We could not have asked for a better place to care for him from his first to his last days here.
