Mum moved into Memory Lane November 2024. Her Flatlet is lovely. It has been personalised with furniture photos and ornaments from her home. Mum likes to sit in the Dayroom as she loves company. She enjoys the Chair Exercises, Church Services and getting her nails and hair done every week. The Staff are brilliant. They look after Mum and she is well cared for. Mum feels safe and we have peace of mind knowing she is safe. They also look after us. Cups of tea in Dining room or if Mum has visitors in her Flatlet they bring tea. I would definitely recommend Kirk House.

I decided to enter residential care because of loneliness and as I fractured my back, I could not cope at home even with help. I have been in Kirk House for eighteen months and I have found the experience very suited to my needs. If I need care it is readily available but I am encouraged to be as independent as possible. I deal with my own medication but senior carers will always help if I have any problems. It has been a good decision for me as my life has changed so much since the death of my husband after 66 years of marriage, I am as happy as I can be!

The care, staff and facilities in Kirk House are excellent. I had confidence that my parents were looked after with dignity and kindness. I was kept informed of their health and well-being at all times. I'll always be very grateful for the care provided by the staff in Kirk House. Many, many thanks.

Kirk House has kept our mum alive. She has been a resident for over 7 years and she has been very happy. When she first arrived she loved being cared for, and food provided, and she loved her independence too. She would regularly walk to a particular place and back. She joined in many of the different activities and made such good friends. The Kirk House staff became her friends. At age 96, she sadly needs more care than Kirk House can provide. You know that this is such a great residential home when the staff cry when a resident leaves. Kirk House is family. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering residential care.

I have been visiting Kirk House for 14 years and for me, it is a truly wonderful home. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The place is amacuatly clean. It's a home that I would want to live in myself in my twilight years. I simply cannot speak highly enough of this home and every person I have encountered there. I'm also greatly impressed with how the home does so much in terms of activities for the residents and also in collecting for various charities. Many thanks to you all.

My mum has been a resident in Kirk House for nearly two years. In the last few months, she has moved to the memory lane corridor and has settled in very well. She has a lovely room and speaks well of everyone. She loves the food and the common living area where she has company. The staff are very kind and caring and there is a lovely family atmosphere. I know my mum feels safe there and I have great peace knowing that she is being well cared for and I am very grateful that she is in such a good care home.

Kirk House is a gem. Staff are caring, kind, professional and supportive of residents and their families. Flatlets are a real home. My mother has been very happy here for a year, it is her home. She loves the staff, her friends and her flatlet. She enjoys the different activities and the community at meal times. I couldn’t recommend Kirk House enough.
24 January 2024
Kirk House has cared for my mother for four years, all through the pandemic and the care she gets every day is second to none. My brother and I are alerted straight away should they have any concerns, no matter how small. When she reached the age of 100, Kirk House very kindly offered to let the family celebrate together on the premises and nothing was too much bother for the staff. I would highly recommend Kirk House to anyone looking for a very comfortable, spotless, well-run nursing home with tremendous staff.

I cannot recommend Kirk House highly enough. The management team and staff are second to none, providing genuine care and support not only to my mum but to our family as we navigate Mum's dementia journey. The accommodation is perfect. The flatlet means that my mum has her own 'home' which has been personalised with furniture and pictures from her house and provides a comforting and familiar environment for her. She has the benefit of having her own space when she wants it but also has lots of opportunities to socialise and take part in activities in the Memory Lane lounge and with other residents in the common room. Mum particularly enjoys attending the Church services. The set up in Memory Lane and other 'corridors' where each area has its own lounge for dining and activities creates a 'family type' environment and that along with the excellent care, compassion and friendliness of staff makes it a very warm and cheering place to live.

I could not speak highly enough of the care provided by the staff for my mother in the last 4 months. It has been superb. The team have a real caring ethos and the staff are exceptionally considerate, friendly and helpful. They engage with my mother with kindness, patience and humour. As a family we feel very supported and very welcome at every visit. We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care and support they give to Mum

Mum greatly enjoyed her time in Kirk House, the lively company of her fellow residents, the happy atmosphere and the excellent facilities. The staff are exceptionally considerate, friendly and helpful and, as a family, we cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care and support they gave Mum. We would highly recommend Kirk House.
17 May 2022
After a difficult couple of years due to Covid and not being able to visit my mother during this time, I think she has come through this time as well as can be expected with the help of the staff’s ability to protect the residents.
05 April 2022
I could not speak highly enough of the care provided by the staff for my mother in the last 5 years. It has been superb. The team there have a real caring ethos and regularly go the extra mile for my mum. My mother has been ill on a number of occasions and the team are great at communicating with relatives and taking action proactively when needed. I would thoroughly recommend Kirk House.
14 March 2022
My mother has been a resident at Kirk House for several years and has been very happy living there. She regularly comments on how well she is looked after by the staff and says that she would not still be alive (age 101 at time of writing) if she were not living there. They have had tremendous difficulties over the past two years with Covid restrictions but have managed to cope with the stresses of that well. The residents have their own self contained room but also socialise with the other residents at mealtimes and for the various activities that occur daily within the home.

My grandmother has been a resident at Kirk House for 6 months. Every single interaction I have had with staff has been positive, they have treated my gran with compassion, care and respect. The home is clean, structured and has a personal/friendly feel to it. The staff are attentive and have brought issues we would not have noticed to myself and my gran's other care partners attention. My gran was on the waiting list for quite a while, but well worth the wait.
08 March 2022
I can’t recommend Kirk House highly enough. The home has a lovely atmosphere, it is bright and the rooms are some of the best I have seen. The staff are helpful and take great care of the residents. We know that our family member is in safe hands, known and well looked after which brings us so much reassurance. Generally, it does feel to be best for residents who still have a degree of independence and autonomy (although it also has Memory Lane which is designed for residents with Dementia).
08 March 2022
Kirk House provides a wonderful service that promotes independence while having the security of staff in attendance 24 hours and meals provided. In my experience, the staff engage with my mother with kindness, patience and humour, which means a lot to her and makes all the difference to her sense of worth, dignity and general quality of life. The managers are also patient with family members and the staff are polite and friendly (we can be a pain at times). I think there has been a change of chef and I sense that the menu and food available has improved. Communication is good. Some of the rules during Covid that in effect have restricted liberty, seem illogical and unnecessary, but I understand these may have been imposed from elsewhere and the staff has worked hard to prevent the spread of illness.
19 August 2021
I would highly recommend Kirk House, my mother has been a resident for nearly 3 years, the staff have been excellent in looking after all mum's needs along with keeping her involved in all the activities. She has felt like part of an extended family and the staff have made myself and my brother feel very supported and very welcome at every visit. I would like to thank everyone for all their care and attention.
04 March 2021
My mum has been a resident in Kirk House now for four years. The staff have been excellent in identifying and caring for her needs and making her feel at home. This has been especially the case over the last 12 months of the pandemic. We are all extremely grateful that she is being so well cared for.
16 February 2021
The care manager and her team have conducted themselves brilliantly throughout the pandemic, thus ensuring the health and safety of residents. Every effort has been made to facilitate visits by family members, communication has been excellent and individual enquiries dealt with efficiently. In particular, the roll-out of the vaccination programme has been first class. I am confident that my mother is in good hands and have no hesitation in recommending Kirk House as an exceptional care home.
