So much love was shared for my friend who lived at Arcot House. The staff showed a real interest in him and knew what would make him happy. The activity staff understood what he was interested in and catered for this. I can't recommend the home more for a loved one as they showed genuine care.

She is a family friend who I visited when pregnant and then again after she knitted my baby girl a hat. The care home is beautifully presented, homely and welcoming. All the staff I encountered were warm and chatty, and had sourced knitting supplies and a pattern for her to make the hat which made her
very happy!

My uncle has been extremely well cared for by the friendly welcoming team. Arcot House has always been clean and fresh when we visit and my uncle has been very happy in spite of his disabilities. The home has left such a good impression that I have admitted my mother here initially for respite care
with a view to seeing how she fits in long term.

Doveridge Care Home

from Joanne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum lives at Doveridge and has dementia, it means the world to us that she is so well cared for when we couldn't keep her at home any longer. Doveridge has become family to us and mum is treated with so much love and respect. I would like to thank all the staff for their care, plus my dad has gone
from living with mum and being married for over 60 years to being home alone. The staff appreciate this and he is there for lunches with mum and can go whenever he likes to be with her. We are always made to feel so welcome with a cup of tea or offer of food and drink every visit. Mum is content at Doveridge and although it's always hard to put a loved one in care when you find the right place it makes all the difference and the worry goes away. As a family we would always recommend Doveridge. They do a great job and it's a lovely place, with a family feel.

The staff were very caring and so kind to the resident and were considerate and committed to their needs. Also, the staff were very kind and helpful when dealing with myself both in person and on the phone.
The home was a very friendly place to live for the residents, and I really appreciated all the
care that they received.
It was a lovely, well-managed home with wonderful staff.

My Mother has been a resident at Summerleaze for 11 years. During that time the home has adapted to and more than accommodated her changing needs, which are many. It was her birthday when I visited and although I hadn't reminded anyone they all knew and had given her a 'special' day which she evidently
loved, in her limited capacity. I live some distance away and couldn't be more assured that she is well looked after. It is an extremely well-managed and personal establishment.

Dad came to Summerleaze for respite initially and they have made what could have been a very distressing situation extremely easy and immediately put our minds and ease knowing that our Dad is being well looked after. This is a wonderful home with a 'home from home' settling. With warm, attentive, and
caring staff. Lots of opportunities to socialise and do activities as well as relaxing spaces. Dad's room is lovely, spacious and well-equipped. But would benefit from an extra chair for me!

Reply from Lacie Stembridge, Marketing Administrator at Dove Lodge

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review! We are very happy to hear that you feel at ease knowing your dad is being looked after by our team at Summerleaze. Our aim is for the residents to be as comfortable as possible, so we are glad to hear it feels like a 'home from home' and that you are happy with your dad's room. I will pass on your lovely words to the team. I have also passed on your feedback regarding an extra chair for you, and the team said they will happily organise this. Thank you again.

Mum has been with you for 18 months and we can honestly say what a difference there is in her. If she wasn't here I think it would be a different story. Your team are always so helpful and caring, nothing is too much trouble for my Mum's needs. Every day she is up dressed and socialising with residents
and staff. This is having an amazing management and team here and their perseverance with Mum. We also think having a great manager who has been here for years knows the families and what her residents' needs are, which is a great asset here. The team are always available and approachable too. We love the fact we are always welcome anytime. Recently Mum has been asking to move rooms nearer the lounge as she liked it there and as promised when a room became available she was given the opportunity to have it. After then a dilemma on Mum's behalf the team made sure she was 100% to move into it as to them her happiness was important. We would 100% recommend coming here as we have peace of mind Mum is always cared for.

The staff have honestly been beyond wonderful. My dad came for a two-week stay and we think he really enjoyed his time here. He is not normally very sociable, but the time here brought him out of his shell, and seeing him enjoy the company of the staff and things like the singer and guitarist who came
to perform was so lovely! His room was super and he hasn't eaten so much good food in ages. We can't thank everyone enough.

Arcot House

from K K (Niece of Resident) published on 13 September 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Uncle was with Arcott House for over a year and he built up a great rapport with all the staff, we were all very happy at how he was welcomed and settled in. The staff, two in particular made sure he was well looked after and we never had any cause for concern or worry about how he was. We were always
made welcome and the staff were kind. His accommodation was everything that he needed and wanted. These events can always be a worrying time for all those involved, both residents and family members. This was never an issue. Every aspect that we encountered was excellent, we could not mark the activities though, as my Uncle chose not to be involved, so had no direct experience to grade!
Would we recommend it? - without a second thought.
Thank you to all at Arcot House.

Overall Arcot House has a lovely environment, the staff are polite - we have our favourites - the cleanliness isn't 100% and needs more deep cleans, the grounds/gardens are lovely as are the communal areas in the house. I love the entertainment provided to keep residents active and mobile.

Reply from Amy Burt, General Manager at Arcot House

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review card on behalf of your friend who is residing with us. We are very pleased to hear you love the entertainment provided by us and how it benefits the people living in the home. We are also pleased to hear you find our staff team polite and you find the overall home environment lovely. It is disappointing you feel the home is not as clean as you would have expected, this has not been raised with our very approachable management team. We will review our cleaning schedules and as part of the review the manager will be in touch to discuss the areas you feel we could improve on.
