Overall Experience

Despite having mobility issues, my dads health seems to have improved overall along with his cognitive abilities. His skin tone and colour has improved and he seems much happier in himself, he says his food is very good and the staff are wonderful. there must be some truth in that because he is quite

able and happy to have a sing song, this gives us peace of mind knowing he is in the best place for him with his care needs provided for

Overall Experience

My friend is being looked after well and over the months he's been at Dorrington, has accepted personal care that he wouldn't accept at home from carers or anyone else. There's a lot of activity going on, which is good to see even though it's not something he would want to take part in. I am a little

disappointed that nothing has been done by way of a hearing test as his deafness is a further barrier for him. He's been referred but months have gone by since then. Also, I have been told about personal care provided in front of him, which seems disrespectful.

Due to health and memory issues my father in law was no longer able to live independently so having been at Dorrington House at Watton for a few months we can now appreciate that despite being a difficult decision, it was the best move possible for him. He likes it there says the food is good, and has

of late made some efforts to socialise and says he is happy, and as long as he is happy so are we

I have limited contact with the team as I live far away. The contact I have had has been very positive, the staff very helpful and friendly. There does seem to be a high level of care, and my mum seems happy which has got to be wants important.

Overall Experience

Dad was accepted with great warmth and kindness upon arrival at Dorrington House Watton. He settled very quickly and has really benefitted from the excellent level of care and the outstanding range of activities which are so important to keep him and all the residents stimulated and active in so many

different ways. Not only that but he really enjoys all that is presented to him and it keeps him and so many others smiling! Thank you to the lovely team at Dorrington House

Overall Experience

My dad has recently arrived at Dorrington House, and I have been so impressed with the standard of care and empathy that all the staff at all levels shows to my Dad. The improvement in his health and well being is amazing in such a short time, and continues to improve. Its a pleasure to visit Dorrington

House and see the day to day workings of a busy environment which is second to none, the food and snacks served are a good quality and all areas of the house are immaculate.

The care team are always in contact with me and when I call for any updates whilst my Dad transitions into his new life at Dorrington House, I am always dealt with in a very professional and caring manner, nothing is to much trouble.

Overall Experience

As soon as you walk into the care home, it definitely feels like a home, and not like a glorified hotel. Receptionist and manager were extremely helpful and very welcoming. All areas were clean, lots of different areas residents could go to, and a lovely outside space, lots of activities on offer too.

Best home that I have visited, and with great staff would highly recommend.

My mum has been at Dorrington House for nearly 2 years. The care and kindness she receives is excellent. My mum is happy and well cared for by the staff. I feel supported too when things get overwhelming. I honestly don't know where we would be without the staff here.

My nan lives in the home. I can honestly say this place is one of a kind. The people living here do so much. The activity people are fantastic. The home looks fresh, homely, clean and inviting with the new decor. The staff team are always helpful, happy, chatty and kind. The manager is very friendly

and always lists and fixes any problems. This is a care home to be sought after and always remembered.

Very caring, helpful staff who are always attentive. The only issue that we have encountered is occasional disturbances during the night, however these are usually dealt with promptly. The facilities are well organised and, if required, management are available at almost any time to listen to concerns.
