Overall Experience

My father has been a resident at Amesbury Abbey for nearly two years. I live overseas in Australia and although it is so very far away, the staff, all the staff couldn't be more amazing at keeping me abreast of my father's health and wellbeing. He is so very happy there and so amazingly cared for. I

just can't fault any part of his care. He has a wonderful rapport with everyone and just couldn't ask for more. When we stay over and visit we are so well accommodated and helped at every turn. The accommodation, food and everything is just 5-star!

Overall Experience

My Father is now in his fifth year of living under the care of Amesbury Abbey Care. He feels well and truly at home with the wonderful team of staff that look after him every single day. Nothing is ever too much trouble The care is bespoke, individual and personalised to his needs. All of the staff

treat Dad as one of their own family. The nursing care is exceptional. The meals are really well planned and like being in a five-star hotel. Housekeeping looks after Dad's belongings, his paintings, family photographs and furniture, and makes sure he is looking dapper every day in freshly laundered attire. There are always activities going on which keeps Dad engaged with the other residents and means he still has a social life and things to look forward to. With reflection over the last five years, I am so lucky that I moved Dad to Winton and then The Abbey when I did. It's exceptional in every way.

Overall Experience

The standard of care is quite exceptional. My mother has had a difficult year and the staff have made quite extraordinary efforts to make her as comfortable and happy as possible. They are invariably kind, patient and concerned. The manager is a truly exceptional individual and I cannot praise her highly

enough.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at Amesbury Abbey for seven years. During this time she has received care at the highest level that has been reassuringly professional yet understated.
This included the difficult Covid period.

Overall Experience

My Mother has been a resident for two years following my father's death. She was very depressed when she came to the Abbey at Christmas 2022, feeling that her life was done and wishing it to be over but little by little she was helped to find her feet by the charming staff. The relaxed and homely atmosphere

combined with respectful encouragement to join in has worked its magic. She is now much happier and enters into the many activities laid on for the residents - the Christmas dinner, to which I was invited as a guest, was a joyful experience. I live abroad and can stay in the excellent guest accommodation when I visit. The communication between the care home and my brother, sister and myself has been excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic home for my mum, with caring staff that go above and beyond to keep her happy, well and engaged. There are many activities arranged and staff have the time to sit with her if needed or help her take part in activities. She is very happy and we have no concerns about her wellbeing. It's also

a stunning place to live with fabulous grounds to explore.

Overall Experience

We, as a family of 3 siblings have been very pleased with Amesbury Abbey. Our parents are together in a nice suite and are warm and comfortable, surrounded by their own things. My parents cannot speak too highly of the kindness and care they receive from everyone at Amesbury Abbey. We three visit regularly

and would agree with this comment. My parent's situation is a difficult one, my father is 103 and really wants peace and quiet and to sleep, although he does very much enjoy stimulating company. Meanwhile, my mother at 98, would like to be incredibly active but is hampered by suffering from severe Macular Degeneration. The staff do their very best to help her and to involve her in anything that is going on in the way of activities.

Overall Experience

The kindness, patience and cheerfulness of the staff as they go about sometimes challenging professional duties is inspiring. The care that they provide ensures that we do not worry when we are not able to be there. They have made my father feel welcome and respected and encouraged him to join in with

meeting others and going to the group things going on.

Amesbury Abbey
from Kate B (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 January 2025

Overall Experience

My mother moved to Amesbury Abbey following a fall and hip break and resulting in weight loss. She had tried another care home and it had been awful so we had pretty low expectations, though high hopes that Amesbury would be different. The manager shone during the whole intake process, her nursing background

providing fabulous advice for our mother whilst she was in hospital. Best of all, she put me under no pressure to decide or rush into a decision, setting her apart from other care homes.
I had then been worried that perhaps the manager was brilliant, but the service afterwards wouldn't match it, I am so relieved that everyone I have dealt with since has absolutely matched the ethos the manager showed. When I changed our plans for Christmas and asked on Christmas Eve if we could manage to get our mother to us for the holiday, everyone moved mountains to help us. There seems to be a "can-do" attitude at Amesbury.
Above all else though, Mummy is happy and that's what really matters.

Overall Experience

Amesbury Abbey is a delightful home for my 100-year-old mother. She is well cared for by dedicated staff and I couldn't ask for a nicer environment for her to be in. Many of the staff have been there for a long while which is also a great testament to the place.

Overall Experience

Amesbury Abbey is a wonderful place for my mother. The staff are very kind. Many are army wives or ex-army. The setting is beautiful both inside and on the grounds. It is a lovely place to go for walks. The care is first rate and there are plenty of activities. My mother has made many friends. The Abbey

gave my mother a lovely birthday party. I recommend it very highly. The management are very good at communicating with families. I am allowed to come and go with my dog, which is a great boost for my dog-loving mother.

Overall Experience

Amesbury Abbey has provided exceptional care in respect of my cousin.
She has been in the home for over three years now and she is over 90 years old, stricken with Alzheimer's.
In spite of the fact that she is not capable of communicating and is immobile, the staff have gone to extraordinary lengths

to ensure her general well-being and her comfort continue as best as could be possible in very difficult circumstances. Their patience in attending to all her needs is admirable and I congratulate them on being so understanding and caring of her circumstances.
She has her own large bedroom, en suite and a large window onto the garden facing her in bed. Some of her own furniture and pictures add to the homeliness of a well-decorated room. The food and general cleanliness at the Abbey can not be faulted and the general administration is both efficient and effective. I would not hesitate to recommend the home and its beautiful garden and extensive grounds.

Overall Experience

My Mummy died on the 20/08/24 at the Abbey. The experience of professionalism mixed with care and support was second to none. We were welcomed as a family into another "family". The care provided to my Mother was exceptional and we couldn't have found a better place for Mummy to spend her last days.
The

manager and staff were very committed to providing the best they could. Words cannot adequately describe our thanks.

Overall Experience

Our Mum had had an artificial eye for 65 years and when she went to an eye clinic the gross negligence of the clinician nearly resulted in her good eye being removed. It was only due to the necessary intervention of the senior carer that a tragedy was averted and she could still see the world around

her and watch her family grow up.
We cannot thank the Senior Carer enough for her courage and compassion in what must have been a very distressing incident.

My mother has had wonderful care for the past five years at Amesbury Abbey and continues to receive this standard of care. The staff are patient and caring, especially in trying circumstances. I know my mother is being well cared for which has given me a huge sense of relief. She has the opportunity

to enjoy the wonderful grounds which encourage the resident's to take exercise and in which they also socialise. I am kept informed and I am able to visit my mother frequently and I am also included in some of the celebratory occasions. Amesbury Abbey has the feel of a family home, what more could one ask?

This home is set in the most beautiful environment in the countryside with the river Avon running through the grounds. Every effort is made to keep the residents entertained and outings are organised to give them a change of scene. The staff all seem very friendly and keen to please and call bells are

answered very promptly. The rooms are well decorated and residents can have their own furniture and pictures on the wall if they wish. The residents all seem very happy.
