    • "My dear father has been a resident for more than two years now and regards Woodstock as his home. He is treated with loving care and kindness by the wonderful team members. My family and I know that he is safe and secure. I am always made to feel welcome and I appreciate the time they spend listening to any questions or concerns that I may have."

      Gillian B (Daughter of Resident)

    • "Having spent respite care at The Old Downs, I feel fortunate my husband was accepted to remain in residential Alzheimer's care. He settled in so well and this is due to the ambience of the home, the professional care he receives and all the team members who go above and beyond to socialise with every resident. I am always made so welcome."

      Patricia L (Wife of Resident)

    • "My brother was transferred from a hospice to St Winifreds for end-of-life care. It was his wish to go there and they looked after his needs extremely well. He was happy and comfortable and was grateful to all the teams for looking after him. My wife and I extend our thanks for all the care they gave my brother."

      Keith A (Brother of Resident)

    • "Sonya Lodge Residential Care Home is excellent in meeting the needs of my parents. Facilities, rooms, and activities are all clean and tailored toward the individual needs of my parents. The management and team members are knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. The positive atmosphere is excellent and Mum and Dad are able to enjoy their final years as if it is their own home."

      A B (Son of Resident)

    • “I cannot recommend Silverpoint Court enough, from the Management to the Chef to Carers and Care Helpers – all are very happy and pleasant and understanding of people's needs. The food is excellent with many choices. The whole Care Home is spotlessly clean and well-kept. Everyone is very accommodating and pleasant.”

      Susan B (Daughter of Resident)

    • "My father stayed at Princess Christian Care Home for respite for five weeks after being in and out of hospital many times. The care and attention he received from all team members in the care home was second to none. Excellent care from the nursing team, very friendly and polite. He is doing so well and much stronger since his stay."

      Mark C (Son of Resident)

    • "Mum has been at Lulworth House since the summer of 2023. At first, she went in for respite care but settled in so well that she is now a permanent resident. We picked Lulworth House, as from the first conversation through to Mum's arrival, the team were kind and thoughtful to her needs, and she loved the room that she was staying in."

      Ian L (Son of Resident)

    • "The care Lukestone Care Home residents receive for their diverse needs is excellent. My husband required nursing care and every team member, the nurses and especially the manager, welcomed him with compassion. The care I received was excellent and I was updated on his well-being every day. Thank you so very much."

      Patricia L (Wife of Resident)

    • "My Dad has gone to Loose Valley for respite care and I have been very impressed by how the team has worked so hard to make him welcome. He had not seen my mum for nine months and with the team's help, we were able to get them together this week which was wonderful. Thank you for all the help you have given me and my Dad."

      I L (Son of Resident)

    • "On all my visits to a friend at Hengist Field Care Home, I have been amazed at the help, care and attention I have received just as a visitor. I have been with my friend when team members have been with him and the pleasant care that they have taken has been exemplary."

      Alan J (Friend of Resident)

    • "My wife spent eleven months at Bromley Park Care Home. Throughout, I was always impressed with the care provided to all residents. I visited three times a week at random times and I only have positive thoughts about the care shown to every resident."

      Jeff H (Husband of Resident)

    • "People say that there is no place like home. Well, I say there is no place like this home. Abbotsleigh Care Home is what I dreamed of when looking for a safe, comfortable and caring place for my mum to end her days. I simply cannot thank the team members enough for the care she received during her 18-month stay."

      Marielle S (Daughter of Resident)

    • The carers and support staff at Meyer House are friendly and professional. The environment immediately makes you feel comfortable, particularly in these difficult times. They treat the residents with care and respect and nothing is a problem. The rooms are pleasantly decorated and clean. As visitors, the staff make you comfortable. Mum is very happy and comfortable there.
