Overall Experience

I am so pleased we picked this care home for our mam. I think I am safe to speak for us all; we have no complaints at all about the care she has received. I would recommend this home to anyone. The residents are not just number, they are family, and they really do care and go above and beyond.

Overall Experience

My father-in-law went into Red Brick House 3 weeks ago end of life. The staff have been exceptional in the care they provided. His room was clean comfortable and in an area where he could be observed towards the later days of his life. The staff kept us updated as he deteriorated. They were professional

friendly and kind.

Overall Experience

The manager and all his staff are extraordinary people obviously well chosen to deliver such a high standard of care to the residents they look after.
The care caring, compassionate, competent, kind, professional, understanding, patient and I chose the best place when mam needed more input on her dementia

journey. I can't speak more highly of them.

My grandad has moved in around Christmas 2024. He has been looked after and welcomed from the first day he arrived. Can't recommend Croften Court enough.

I can not thank the staff at Bridge View enough for the care and support they have given over the last few months. My grandma sadly passed away yesterday but was treated with such dignity and respect throughout. Outstanding carers who genuinely care, approachable and compassionate management. They looked

after her like they would their own family and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

My mam was a resident here for ten months until her passing on November 14th 2024. The manager and his staff are, without doubt, the best ever. Dignity, respect and total love and care were displayed always toward Mam and us, as a family. Always supportive and kind. You are safe in the knowledge your

loved one is respected. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you is not enough!

All staff are friendly and helpful. My mum seems to be very happy here. The home always appears to be clean and tidy and the decorations for Halloween were brilliant and the residents were all very enthusiastic. All in all I would be happy for my mum to stay here permanently.

Staff are always lovely and helpful. Always kept informed of any issues with mam, also regular meetings for residents to discuss anything they would like changing. Food always looks lovely with plenty of choice. Mam is always treated with dignity and respect, can't praise them enough, then to say I

fully trust them to look after man as I am no longer able to be her carer.

The staff in Red Brick House are extremely helpful to both family and residents. I feel that when I am unable to be with Mam, she is safe and very well cared for. Mam has struck up close, but professional relationships with all staff. Red Brick is a friendly environment any time of day when I arrive.

Overall Experience

The care my mother recieved was excellent, they made her last few hours better than I could ever imagine, especially the care my mam recieved on her last day. The two young carers, the manager who went above and beyond their job role that day ensuring my mam was comfortable and pain-free and treating

the family with care and empathy. Big thank you to the senior carer who got everything in place we asked for and the care she gave my mam, honestly can't thank you all enough for what you did.

Since my grandma has been in Crofton Court the staff have been so supportive and helpful with my grandma getting her independence back after being in hospital for a long time. My grandma can't praise the staff enough.
The staff are very friendly and helpful could not fault them at all.

Overall Experience

It was with great trepidation that we moved Dad (he has dementia) into Bridgeview but we are so glad we did. Although he is getting older and frailer, Dad has settled in extremely well and has a beautiful room. The home itself is in a lovely setting with views of open grassland.
The carers have been

just gorgeous. The carers give us and Dad the widest smiles and always have some good news; it is so good to hear that he's making connections and forging relationships with the staff. The nurses are extremely on the ball, keeping us up to date and contacting the doctor/dentist in a very timely manner if they are concerned.
Of course the warm, caring, professional ethos comes from the management and the manager demonstrates this on a daily basis. It is clear to see the value he puts into the care each resident receives and is readily available for a chat if there are issues or worries. He also values his staff and the home team spirit and warm ethos is everywhere.

The staff at Bridge View were exceptional - every one of them. My mother has Alzheimer's and they were very good with her when she was feeling low and unsettled. The meals were always hot and the portion sizes were really good. The home itself was immaculate, no offensive smell when you go in either.

The care has been exceptional, the love and flexibility, and humour have made such a difference to my Mum. She was only supposed to do a few weeks respite but her extended stay has been an important transition for Mum and she has loved all the staff here. We can't thank you enough for being people who

care.

After short stays at several care homes, my aunty was increasingly unhappy with them. After only a few weeks at Crofton Court she described everybody at the care home as 'wonderful.' I have found the staff and management to be kind, understanding and friendly.
