Every time I have visited my great auntie she appears to be well cared for. She's taking part in more activities than she did in her previous care home. It's nice to be able to visit her in a nice environment where we all feel comfortable.

My mother-in-law, who has Alzheimer's, has been a resident for two years now and we are extremely happy with the care offered. The staff are very professional and will work with you if you have any ideas to help the residents live a comfortable safe life. The nursing home doesn't smell of that usual nursing home smell that normally blows your head off like you would see in different establishments in the Worksop area. We took time looking around different nursing homes but instantly fell in love with Barchester Forest Hill Care Home! We based our decisions on would we live here if we had to and it was a massive yes. We can definitely relax at home knowing our family member is safe and well cared for.

My mum has been a resident here for quite a while now, she is very well cared for. The staff are lovely, the food is amazing, they seem to have lots of activities for the residents and go on trips out when possible. I don't think we could find a better place for Mum to be cared for.

My mum has Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia. She has been a resident at Barchester Forest Hill Care Home since August 2022. I visit her three-four times a week. The home is very well-run, all the staff, from the management down, are approachable at any time to answer your questions and address any concerns. Meetings are held quarterly for family to attend. Everywhere is constantly cleaned, clothing is washed daily. The meals are cooked on the premises and are tasty and nutritional. The nurses and carers are very good and they interact with the patients in a lovely way. The activities are varied and so, something will appeal to everyone. The two maintenance guys keep everything working and the gardens and interior looking great. The home is decorated beautifully for Christmas. My dad and I looked after my mum at home for as long as we could. Now we can visit and still look after her but all the help we need is on hand immediately and that is such a relief. Thank you to all.

We moved my father from another care home which wasn't meeting his needs. Barchester Forest Hill Care Home is fabulous, it is clean, the food is amazing, the staff are well-trained and very approachable and happy in their workplace. They had a garden party last Saturday which was great, live music, stalls, food, my dad loved it. His bedroom at Forest Hill is beautiful, he has all his own pictures in there, put up by Forest Hill's handyman who is marvellous. All the residents seem really happy here and the staff are lovely. I can sleep at night knowing our dad is in safe hands and being cared for extremely well. Amazing care home with amazing staff, from the reception staff, manager to ward staff. Five-star.

My father spent 4 weeks at Forest Hill Care Home before he died. As a nurse, it is difficult to hand over the care of someone you love to others, but I can honestly say I felt confident and happy with the care and attention he received.

The home is always extremely clean, the staff are very helpful and polite.

Been visiting my mother in the care home weekly for over eight months now, I can't believe how happy she is and so settled. The staff, from top management to cleaner, are all so polite, professional and most of all, caring. I and my siblings would like to say a big thank you.

My husband has been at Barchester Forest Hill Care Home since 1st November 2023. We had issues with his previous care home. My husband has settled really well and i feel he is being treated with dignity and care. I can see an improvement with his mood. His Parkinson's and dementia are progressing. The staff listen to my concerns regarding weight loss. He has been seen by the doctor within a few days. I feel so much happier knowing he is being cared for and when I phone I am always reassured.

My beautiful mum was admitted to this wonderful care home with terminal lung cancer earlier this week. The level of care and kindness from every single member of staff is absolutely amazing. My mum won't be here for much longer but I am finding comfort knowing she is comfortable and in no pain. I recommend this lovely home for anyone who is looking for somewhere to look after themselves or a loved one. Thank you so much.

Forest Hill has a wonderful team of people, they are looking after my husband who has been extremely poorly with the best care he could get. Each day I can see his improvement. Forest Hill is everything a home should be, excellent, in all they are doing for my husband.

Very pleased with the care my father has and is still receiving. After a few weeks in hospital, on his return to Forest Hill Care Home, all the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure his recovery is smooth and stressless for not only him but the family as well. You're always greeted with happy faces from all the staff and they always have time for a chat and an update on Dad's condition. His bedroom and bathroom are always spotless as is the rest of the home. Just waiting for his health to improve so he can make use of the beautiful outside area and the many activities and day trips offered to the residents.

Placement made by the local authority, out of their normal catchment area and their choice could not have been better. It's a real home-from-home offering care which I am unable to do so and I could not have wished for a better placement.

My grandmother has been a resident at Forest Hill since the middle of 2022. As a family we have found all staff to be very friendly, kind and compassionate, going above and beyond to make sure all residents are well looked after.

I spent two hours with my mum, yesterday and left really happy. Even though the staff were extremely busy they couldn't have done enough for her, to make sure that she was comfortable and treated with great care. She looked lovely. Mum had all her best clothes on and was sitting in a brilliant all-singing, dancing chair. I supported my mum in eating her Christmas dinner, which looked and smelled fantastic. She ate loads. I just want to let everyone know that Mum is treated with genuine kindness by the staff who engage with her whenever possible even in Polish at times. Thank you from us.

My father has been in Barchester Forest Hill Care Home since 23/12/2020 and I am pleased to say that I am very impressed with the care and support that he receives. From the care staff to the nurses and even the admin staff they are amazing. He has been known to be aggressive in personal care and also very vocal but the patience shown is remarkable. I often apologise for his behaviour but they say there is no need to as it's his illness, not his fault. The contact with us is very good with regard to changes in medication, any falls he has, witnessed or unwitnessed. They always make us feel welcome when we visit Dad. Dad is always clean and respectable and I cannot do anything but sing the praises of the staff at Forest Hill.

Excellent care during illness. Care taken to hospital. All staff the full-time staff and management are excellent, very efficient and kind. Complaints were rectified quickly with agency staff. Good atmosphere in the lounge and excellent facilities for Jubilee Day, all the staff took part and it was most enjoyable for residents and families.
