The staff on my father’s unit are caring and skilled, they have infinite patience and make the effort to get to know the residents. I visit on a regular basis. I always know that he is safe and well looked after. I cannot thank the staff enough. He is very happy at Buchan House, communication with relatives is very good and the meals are excellent.

My whole family thank Aliwal Manor for the reassurance that a very old lady we love is being cared for so well in her declining years, something we acknowledge that we cannot do ourselves.

Brook House has a warm and friendly welcome. We’re impressed by how homely it is, by drinks beside everyone, by the mound of information and feedback and even more impressed by staff keeping me in the picture with my mother’s progress during her first few days.

There is an astonishing level of care and love towards the people living here, as well as an atmosphere of cooperation, family spirit, respect and real skill in dealing with elderly or difficult people - all led by a manager of deep insight and massive common sense.

We are very happy with the nursing care my mother receives. They know her so well - she can be difficult - but they maintain a professional and compassionate approach to her care. There are great activities provided by a dedicated team which add to my mother's experience as well as a family.

With the passing of my father, it was important for us to find my mother a good residential home. Brook House impressed us. It was a relief to know she would be well looked after and no longer lonely. Thank you for sending me the photos of her taking part in the activities, for looking after her and giving her happiness in her remaining days.

Whenever we were there, whatever the time of day or evening, we always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, both to us and all the residents. They always kept us in the loop. We felt that mum was safe and looked after, and, believe me, that was a big relief to us.

My brother has lived at Brook House for over four years and has always enjoyed kindness and consideration, as well as receiving a high standard of care. His health condition means he needs a high level of support, and the staff at Brook House have been always been extremely caring and efficient.

Many of Glennfield’s carers remind me of Florence Nightingale in their loving dedication to the welfare of others. It is difficult to express sufficiently in words our gratitude to these people for looking after my ailing mother so well.

My grandmother came to Primrose Croft at the age of 104, and I can’t fault the kindness and consideration that was shown to her. The staff were so patient, understanding and kind. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a residential home, for the staff alone in their caring attitude.

I have found all staff very friendly both towards Mum and ourselves when we're visiting. We are always updated when we visit about her health and wellbeing, which is so reassuring.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude for the superb love and care given to Betty during her days at The Willows, especially during her last few weeks. We were overwhelmed by the constant attention given to her and also the support to the family… what kind and lovely staff you have. We are going to miss you.

Amazing care from all the staff. My mum was made to feel very welcome in what felt like a very homely home.

My mother has been very happy here from the onset. The staff are amazing with her, they look after her so well, and they keep us informed about anything that’s going on.

The standard of care at Etheldred is exceptional, with professional, caring and patient staff. I am always impressed by their ability and how well they know the residents. They are polite and considerate of visitors, accommodating all requests where possible. Thank you for everything you do.

I found the level of care I receive is first class. I cannot find anything to complain about. I am kept very clean and I keep my dignity. All the carers treat me as if I am special.

Although my mother dreaded leaving her own house, she settled into Primrose Croft very happily. The staff were, without exception, so warm, welcoming, kind, caring and thoughtful. There is a really happy atmosphere here that contributes so much to residents feeling safe and secure, relaxed and contented.

We were constantly impressed with the carers. The manager was always available to talk to us, and would call with news or to keep us up to speed. We were always happy to see Mum so happy.

I am writing on my sister’s behalf who says she was very contented with all the services she received both in care and meals. She enjoyed her stay and commends the attention she had from the nurses and carers, who were very thoughtful, kind and helpful.

Dovecote Manor has an open house policy where family and friends can visit as often as they like. The home is well run and all staff are friendly and professional. I couldn’t be happier knowing that my mum is being so cared for in this lovely home.

The team are wonderful with the residents and families; supportive, helpful and caring. Lots of laughter. They have a very demanding and difficult job, but still manage to be kind and patient.
My mum recently had a birthday and they made her day so special. Thank you all for your hard work, it is very much appreciated.

Rheola is very welcoming, people are always well cared for and the staff are very approachable and friendly. The staff are always around when I need to talk to someone.

Although my mother was only in Aliwal Manor for a very short time, the service and care she received was excellent and we could not have asked for more. Not only did they look after my Mum, but they always had time to look after us. We will always be grateful.

Arriving unannounced to have a look around Dovecote Manor, we were given a very warm welcome. Everywhere was so clean and the atmosphere very happy. We looked at other homes but this one stood out. We were over the moon when we were offered a place.

We are deeply grateful for the loving attentive care given to my mum at St George’s. She enjoyed taking part in activities and we were able to go on several different trips together. Staff were always incredibly supportive and encouraging, for which I am really thankful. Thank you so much for everything you did to give my mum the best possible quality of life as she journeyed through Alzheimer’s.

I would like to show my colleagues who do not work in this area what an excellent example of a care home looks like and that is Glennfield.

Dovecote Manor's staff and management made myself and Mum very welcome. They take good care of Mum, reassuring her about things she is anxious about and they always do their best to sort out any problems quickly. Staff are friendly, caring and support the family when you need it.

Thank you so much for looking after my mother so well over the last two years. She always said she landed on her feet as she came to see Hunters Down as very much her home. We cannot thank you enough.

Absolutely the best care from all the staff. Nurses, cleaners, receptionists. You do yourselves proud.

The carers are carers in the true sense of the word: they care for their clients just as a family would – and become part of your extended family. I had many sleepless nights regarding my father’s care until the day he arrived at Dovecote.

I would like to thank the team for the wonderful care and support they gave my grandmother. During the last few days of her life they took great care of the whole family, nothing was ever too much. The staff are so caring, including the cleaning and catering staff who kept the family refreshed when needed. Once again many thanks.

Thank you to all the staff who cared for our mum and for making her so comfortable.

Despite her initial nervousness, my grandmother settled into The Willows very quickly and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The level of service and attention to detail is second to none, and the manager and deputy go above and beyond for all the residents. I couldn't recommend this home highly enough.

The care my mother-in-law receives at Brook House has been amazing. The staff show genuine kindness and compassion to her – and also to us. It has made what was a difficult decision so much easier and has given us confidence and reassurance. I cannot speak highly enough of Brook House and the staff.

Staff are lovely. Plenty of privacy and respect. I would recommend Fitzwilliam House to anybody who is thinking of coming here.

Dad receives truly excellent care at all times. He is calm and relaxed, and all his carers have done a tremendous job making him feel very welcome in his new home. We have been so impressed with Brook House. We simply would not want Dad to be anywhere else.

Our mother was very happy at St George’s Court. Staff were always friendly and caring and Mum enjoyed the lively entertainment and outings. When she celebrated her 100th birthday management and staff all wished her well with a party and lovely cake made by the chef. Mum was treated with kindness and respect in the last days of her life and that was extended to us as a family.

To all The Willows nurses, carers and team: a big thank you for looking after my mum on respite care. It’s very, very much appreciated and you truly deserve the highest praise for the dedication and kind way you look after all in your care. Thank you all!

I have spent two weeks here and have been able to relax and regain my physical and mental strength. The staff are lovely, plenty of privacy and respect. I would recommend Fitzwilliam House to anybody who is thinking of coming here.

The garden looks beautiful and it is so nice for families to sit out there with their relatives when visiting. The memory tree is a lovely idea and my mum likes to see my dad’s lantern when we are out there. Well done, everyone.

My mum has been very happy at Primrose Croft for three years. Each and every member of staff deserve any amount of praise available for their loving and professional care. There is so much laughter and chatter, and people are catered for in every way. I am so pleased with the range of activities, where everyone can participate. This very caring care home is part of the family.

My mother's poor appetite perked up no end during her stay, thanks to delicious, nourishing meals. Everyone shows the residents the greatest respect and are unfailingly good-humoured, approachable and understanding. We were delighted to see how my mother flourished at Primrose Croft and she is eagerly hoping for a return visit.

My father has advanced dementia and his behaviour can be quite difficult at times. The staff are compassionate not only towards him but to us as a family. They have ensured that we are kept fully updated about all of his care needs. I would recommend Etheldred to anyone looking for care as they always go above and beyond.

My great-grandmother was a resident at Rheola many years ago, and when my mother needed to go into care, we knew exactly where. Mum is very happy there and enjoys the trips out and entertainment that comes to the home. Staff are wonderful and always have a cheerful word for the residents. Anyone looking for a facility for a loved one is fortunate indeed if a room is available here.

I cannot sing the praises of Castlemead Court enough; an establishment that has to be seen to witness just how a care home should be run. It is spotlessly clean with good food and excellent care given by devoted staff. I applaud the high standards of care given to those that need it most by people that really care.

The carers in my father’s unit were not only professional, but compassionate and caring. The family was always made welcome at Buchan House and communication between us and the home was very good. Thank you for your commitment and ability to care.

The home provides regular entertainment, outings, activities for the residents. Food is good, the rooms are cleaned regularly, and the management very approachable. I feel fortunate that my mother is a resident there.

Grateful thanks from the family for the care and devotion shown to them and their late father. Full admiration for the team of wonderful carers, they are a credit to your organisation and should be rewarded for their sheer hard work and loyalty.

My husband has been a resident of Dovecote Manor for one year and is very happy. He is well cared for and treated by the staff with kindness and consideration. I feel comfortable leaving him in the home.

Thank you for helping my Mum to settle in so quickly. For making time to talk to her and laugh with her, also for painting her nails, putting on her makeup and doing her hair in a certain way and making her feel like a lady again.

The Willows is relaxed and friendly, but the carers have things very much in hand. Staff always greet you with a smile and are genuinely pleasant and friendly with the residents. Management is always accessible and always take time to help relatives and visitors through a process which can be very difficult. I am extremely impressed by the care offered to my mother.

Recommendations from our friends meant we had St George’s in mind when my wife was found to be in need of dementia care. First impressions were good and we have had absolutely no reason to change our minds. St George’s Court would almost certainly be rated as among the top 10 care homes in the UK.

I cannot recommend Etheldred enough. My nan is so well cared for by staff who are incredibly patient and supportive. They’re always smiling and work so hard to ensure residents are happy and safe. Thank you.

I knew when Mum didn't want to come to us on Christmas Day that she loves it here and thinks of it as her home.

Mum is very content with the care and attention she receives and conveys those thoughts to us regularly. She receives frequent and considerate and sympathetic attention and there are always events and things of interest for her. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is always clean, neat and tidy.

My sister has been a resident at Castlemead for nearly three years, and she has become calmer and happier. I cannot praise the staff enough for their compassion and kindness, and particularly the first-rate, highly skilled nursing care she has received.

This is just an extension of my family.

My mother has had an amazing standard of care. It is an agonising decision to place a relative in a care home, but we found St George’s the most cosy and homely. I can visit any time I like, day or night, and always see the same standard of care.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Rheola Care Home... The staff there are second to none. They cannot do enough for the residents and their families when they visit.

What a treasure trove Castlemead Court is, for both residents and relatives. Clearly at the heart is absolute care shown to the residents as individuals, whereby their different needs are always taken on board. It is as much like their own homes as it can possibly be.

I have visited my relative at least fortnightly for the last three years and at all times the staff are caring, friendly and attentive. They deserve medals.

Thank you for the way you look after my husband. He is very precious to us and I know he is always well looked after.

I could not be more thrilled with level of service and professionalism at Etheldred. Everything had the feel of being incredibly well looked after. The staff came across fantastically well and were happy to answer our questions about the place and the care that would be given. They really put our minds at ease.

Thank you so much for the love and support you gave to my father and our family. We can’t thank you enough for all you have done to make Dad so comfortable. Hunters Down is a special place.

Granny was initially adamant not to go to a care home. The staff were patient, knowledgeable, kind and professional to the point that granny decided The Willows was the place for her to be. The care has been spot-on. Granny was happy, warm, clean and well-fed and we as a family were well supported. Thank you.

Myself and my wife have been treated with dignity and respect. I have the utmost confidence in the home and staff. They treat me as part of the family and care for my wellbeing through these tough times with my wife's illness. Nothing is too much trouble; 100% happy with everything to do with the home.

My husband has been a resident for the past three years. His care has been exemplary. He eats well and enjoys the entertainment and other activities provided. Carers always treat him with kindness and courtesy.

Etheldred cared for my father and now my aunt. All the staff know me by name and show so much care for the residents. My aunt is happy and settled and I know I will be contacted with updates about her that cannot wait until my visit. I have recommended Etheldred to a number of people.

Every week I visit my brother and am always surprised at the love and positivity of the caring staff towards the residents, as well as towards their sometimes-fragile visitors. It makes what could be a challenging time far more enjoyable. Thank you to all.

I love visiting Grandma. She's always happy and staff are always friendly and take good care of her - it's clearly important to them that she is content and their cheerfulness makes Etheldred a joy to visit. I know Grandma appreciates it too - she is always talking about the nice things going on. And that there are always biscuits!

My husband really enjoyed his stay at Neath House. He was well looked after. I would certainly recommend it to anyone else who needed respite. The staff were excellent.

During our 3 1/2 years of your support, it has been most reassuring to have the continued, reliable care you provide. All backed up by your frequent re-assessments ensuring us of the best care possible to alleviate our needs. The stability and teamwork of staff made a really happy atmosphere in the face of the illness. The family remain forever most grateful.

Everyone here looks very happy, David is looked after and sometimes quite spoilt!

Knock on the door at any time and there is always a welcoming smile. Any problems are worked out quickly and with care. The smells from the kitchen are always delicious and the food always comes well-presented and in generous portions!

I never thought I could leave my own home and be so happy!

I highly recommend Rheola to everyone. The staff are very professional and provide diligent care and are always available for a chat with the residents. Nan continues to talk about how much she enjoyed her time there. Thank you to all for making her feel like part of the Rheola family.

The care my mother received at Castlemead Court was excellent. She was very happy and we always felt the warmth and love in the home. Be assured, your loved one will be well looked after here.

Thank you so much for the kindness and care shown at Aliwal Manor. We were unsure how Dad would settle at first, but the staff and other residents helped him feel at home which was a huge relief, knowing Dad received the right care when he needed it the most.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff who care for my mother. I visit regularly and they are always very gentle and kind. I have never witnessed staff being anything other than caring and helpful to all residents, whatever their disability. Indeed, they go above and beyond what is required of them.

At all times I was treated with respect and courtesy. I have no fears about my wife staying at Neath House at any future dates. I am glad she has been well looked after. Very many thanks.

My brother has been a resident for around three and a half years. The management team, carers, care assistants and nurses have been very professional, friendly and caring to my brother, as well as supportive to our family. He settled in very well and has been at home ever since. Thank you to all concerned

My father was treated with such care, kindness and dignity. We were impressed that health visitors and social workers who visited said that if they needed care, Rheola is where they would like to live.

The care given to my mum I think is excellent, especially when she first came. The staff had exceptional patience and have carried that on ever since.
