Twyford House is located in the heart of Alsager, convenient to shops and local services. The A500 and M6 motorway are close by, and the home also has excellent nearby public transport links which are convenient for visiting family and friends.

Upon arrival, residents are supported to develop a personalised care plan using an electronic comprehensive integrated Care Planning system. This not only records information around an individual’s care needs but includes interests, hobbies and dietary preferences also. This system gives everyone involved in residents’ care instant access to care information and preferences from their individual care plan to provide responsive and person-centred care.

Part of the Lovett Care Group, Twyford House offers exceptional Residential, Dementia and respite care to individuals who need extra support to live independent, fulfilled lives. All set within a warm, comfortable and welcoming home from home environment, where comfort, safety, personalised care and fun meet strong community ties in beautiful surroundings.

The 70-bed home is made up of four wings each with its own dining room and lounge. The communal areas include a bistro, craft and activities room, cinema, private dining room, terrace bar, library, quiet lounges and fully equipped hair salon. All the beautifully appointed bedrooms feature a full ensuite wet room, widescreen TV and fridge and ground floor bedrooms have patio doors with access to a secure garden of mature trees and outside seated areas.

Varied, imaginative and meaningful activities are planned by the Activities Coordinator and delivered by the whole team. Activities are chosen based on discussions with residents and their relatives.

A daily menu is prepared by the on-site team who create tasty and nutritious restaurant-style meals from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

It's basically solitary confinement in the evenings... Daytime things seem OK in terms of activities, etc, but everything stops after 6PM and residents are effectively left to their own devices. Minimal evening staff and no visitors come (you'll sometimes be waiting 10 mins + to get in then, too). Dad
sits alone in his room for hours in the evenings with no entertainment (the TV control is complex) and no one looking in. We've been there numerous times without the staff seeing us arrive and the only time someone will look in on him is when it's time for a quick and perfunctory visit to give him his meds. There's no app or portal to see how relatives are doing and getting on. Apparently, there are trips out each week but no way to know where they're going to or even if your loved one went. Raised these issues and am still waiting (a week later) for a reply from management. Overall: looks great in the brochure but find somewhere else unless your loved ones are pretty independent.

My sister was admitted into the care home while her husband went on a cruise so she was in for respite. She has dementia whereby she can't feed, wash, toilet herself or walk unaided. She wasn't given enough fluids so her eldest daughter had to phone an ambulance because she was highly dehydrated and
spent the rest of the time in the hospital with IV drips. My question is why didn't the so-called trained staff see this, it's beyond belief. We were told they could cater for my sister's needs and it was clearly not the case.

I visit my in-laws with my wife. I was apprehensive about care homes having no experience. This care home is very well presented and is hotel-like in its decor. The staff are always so friendly and respectful even when it is clear they are very busy. The care and respect they give to my parents-in-law
is always wonderful and much appreciated.

Hardworking and professional staff. Very friendly. People are quick to complain. I asked the manager if I could review as I have been so impressed. It is a difficult time when parents go into care however the home is so well run it is reassuring. My mother and father were admitted as residents at the
same time, unfortunately. The quality of care is excellent. The home is very clean, communication is as good as it gets. The facilities and activities package is very good however my parents have yet to take part in these. The only suggestion I could make is that there’s a leaflet/some information available to families/residents on arrival regarding visiting, what you can bring in to family members, labelling of clothes, what happens with washing etc. We could most of this out by chance/asking so it would be useful. I did ask however it appears there’s nothing available. Other than this the home should be recognised for the high standards, and quality of care that all staff provide.

From the time I entered the premises I was treated with warmth and kindness.
The staff treated me as a person and not just a number. I cannot speak too highly of the staff who were excellent in all aspects such as serving meals or helping in a time of need. I was rather anxious before I went into the
home but very quickly all fears were dispelled.

Mum has been a resident for eighteen months. Having seen other care homes in close detail, I would say it is so difficult for any care home to be perfect and is unrealistic. However, this home operates with residents’ well-being and safety at the forefront of its existence. All staff are always pleasant
and approachable and will find ways to deal with any query we may have. They maintain relationships with families and work at achieving a beneficial outcome. Mum is settled and loves the food - and gradually joining in more activities with the staff's encouragement.
Facilities are excellent, and standards of cleaning are high..yes there are little blips but nowhere is perfect. I would highly recommend Twyford House Care Home.

Mum moved into the home a couple of months ago following a number of planned and unplanned visits. No matter when we arrived we were made to feel special and welcomed by staff, all of whom knew our names and took an interest in mum. Once we had agreed on the move, things happened quickly and we were
kept informed at each stage.


After she had moved, the staff were wonderful, they made her feel very welcome, encouraged her to take part in the activities whilst respecting her wishes and made sure all her needs were met.
During December, there were lovely activities where most of the residents were involved. The meals over Christmas and New Year were lovely and the staff made an extra effort with the tables, presentation etc.


Reply from Clare Richards, Regional Manager at Twyford House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our home, we are delighted that mum is settled and enjoying life in her new home. We are delighted that you enjoyed the festive period with us all.

My aunt and uncle were struggling to keep safe at home. After a prolonged spell in hospital for my aunt, they both decided that it would be a good idea to convalesce at Twyford House Care Home. They loved it so much, they decided to stay. They are always treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
The workers there really care for the well-being of them both. I am always given a warm welcome whenever I visit and they keep me informed if there are any important changes in the health/wellbeing of either aunt or uncle. Twyford for me is an extension of my family now.
In addition, they have a wonderful activities programme, designed to keep the residents thinking and moving, involving day trips to local places and seaside trips too. My aunt and uncle tell me regularly that they feel cared for and safe there, and although they miss their previous life as independent people, they realise that, actually, they're receiving a much better quality and more stimulating life there.

The appearance of the home is stunning but what matters more is what is happening behind the gloss in residential homes, this place has a solid depth of care and dedication from staff who you know instantly genuinely care about how they assist your loved ones.
This home keeps residents entertained
and active and proactively assists when issues can be difficult for elderly who can feel loneliness or sadness.
I know my mum is safe and genuinely happy and although she is only staying for a while Twyford House have made a positive effect on her health.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.628)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.628) out of 10 for Twyford House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.628 for Twyford House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 218 Ratings = 4.628

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Twyford House Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
