My mum recently moved into Devonshire house, originally for 2 weeks respite as she was struggling at home. From the moment we first took her for a look around she fell in love with the place. Since being in Devonshire house my mum is really happy and cannot stop praising the staff and especially the food. If there is something that does not suit on the menu they are happy to cook an alternative. The home is always very clean and tidy and other residents are also very happy. All the staff are very friendly and very helpful whenever we visit. My Mum is enjoying herself so much that she has decided that she is definitely staying. It is very comforting for us to know that my mum is being so well looked after 24hrs a day. Also a big thank you to her carer who has been really helpful and helped with any concerns that we did have.

This care home is amazing. My mum has recently taken residence at Devonshire House and the professionalism and knowledge of the staff has made this process less stressful. The care home is home from home actually probably better than home! Warm and cosy, spotlessly clean everywhere, no smells that you sometimes come across in some care homes. The catering is good, lovely home cooked food and as the chef walks through he checks everyone enjoyed their meal. The bedrooms are spacious with a large bathroom and modern shower. Cosy bed linens. To find somewhere so lovely for my mother after such a stressful time means I can finally get back to a life and routine again. Mum seems happy and settled and she seems very much at home. I can highly recommend Devonshire House with no hesitation.

My mother moved to Devonshire House a year ago and has been very happy there. The staff are wonderful and kind and really get to know the residents well. They are always on hand when she needs something or simply to stop and chat. It feels like a home from home.

My mother has been in Devonshire House since March 2024. The staff are all very caring and thoughtful. Mum says they look after her very well here. The food she says is good. It's a very happy place to be. On a negative: I think more care should be taken in cleaning rooms. On occasion tops of furniture are not cleaned nor has any furniture been moved to clean under the bed or chest of drawers.

My mother has been a resident in the dementia ward for just over a year. Over this time her care has been amazing. The staff are quite simply the kindest, most patient team of people. Whenever I visit they always know where she is, what she's been doing and her general state of mind. They always have time and are so patient. Food is well cooked with lots of variety and good-sized portions.

This review is in mum's words - "I felt well looked after and very safe there. I really enjoyed the meals and all the staff were friendly and very attentive whilst staying there. I had a lovely clean room and now looked for a permanent residence at the home"

We were really happy with the care my father-in-law received whilst staying temporarily at Devonshire House. His five-week stay, during which he was really well looked after by the lovely staff, enabled him to get back on his feet following a dall and operation and he has been able to return to his own home.

Mum was made very welcome for a month of respite care at Devonshire House. The most important thing for Mum was cleanliness, and she was very happy with this aspect. She says that everyone was so helpful and kind.

I have found this home really helpful. When problems arise they are dealt with efficiently. The home deals with any enquiries I have and supports me and the family at the same time. The home is always willing to support.

Mum came to Devonshire House in August 2023. From the moment she arrived, we knew we had made the right choice. The staff were amazing. They made Mum and us feel very welcome. Since Mum has been here she’s made friends and has enjoyed the activities provided. Her room is lovely, bright and very clean. The whole house has a lovely feel to it. The staff are so welcoming and kind to Mum and us as visitors. This is a wonderful home and I know Mum will be very happy here.

I am very happy with the care and attention my husband gets and the staff are very caring and friendly. The only thing that could be improved is the activities. The food is quite good with lots of alternatives. They always provide special teas etc on special days like Mother’s or Father's day.

My mother entered Devonshire House, Cavendish for respite care following a period in hospital. Initially, my mother was very depressed and was counting the days until she could go home. However, the care and compassion of the staff have completely changed my mother. She is the happiest I have seen her in a long while. The staff are amazing and always take the time to talk to the residents and ensure all of their needs are being met. My mother has now decided to stay permanently. She feels safe and cared for and absolutely loves the food!

I am so pleased with the care and dedication my husband received in Devonshire House, they all loved him and treated him with respect at all times, they laughed with him, cried with him and went beyond their duties sometimes. They are such wonderful people, the care is exemplary. On his final day, they looked after the family all day. I can't thank Devonshire House staff enough, the manager and her staff 100%. Thank you!

Prior to my mother moving into Devonshire House two years and three months ago, we visited all the care homes in the Sudbury, Suffolk area, one in particular was the best, then we found Devonshire House. Due to its light and airy atmosphere, we thought it was even better. I have not been disappointed. All the care staff, team leaders and management have constantly shown a very high level of professional care and dignity. Now with the end of lockdown restrictions and the very proactive management team, the quality of care should maintain excellent standards. I am 66 in a few weeks and I accept there is a real risk for me requiring a care home in the next fifteen years. I wish it to be Devonshire House.

Devonshire House staff are always so kind and caring to the residents and their families. The home is always clean, tidy and smells lovely. I really enjoy my visits with my wife. Staff always have a smile on their face and nothing is ever too much for them.

The quality of care in Devonshire House in Cavendish is outstanding. They have been so attentive to my grandfather's needs including my late grandmother. They are very supportive too. Every resident looks well dressed, clean and well looked after. They put on great activities for the residents. The rooms are always clean and tidy. They are also given beautifully made homemade meals. The chef truly should be recognised he's brilliant at what he does and plans the meals weekly for variation for the residents' nutritional needs. Code of practice is delivered on a very high level in a professional way. Not being distracted when doing medication. Safety of residents and risk assessing each resident's needs and putting them into practice. Most of all each staff member I have met has a very caring nature. So lucky to have had such a beautiful home for our grandparents. Outstanding and the care home dog is just the cutest.

Very welcoming to me and shown how to log in. Light airy and signposted for visitors. Resident would have liked to go out in the pleasant sun; she enjoys art.

Excellent provision and care. More engagement in the activities would be good. This would require encouraging my mother to do this. She enjoyed the church service. My mother has enjoyed her time in respite care and particularly enjoyed the lunchtime chats with other residents.
27 September 2022
We find the whole atmosphere very welcoming and clean. The atmosphere among the residents is one of real care and comfort. There is nothing really that the care home finds difficult to provide. Residents are very happy, as is my mother-in-law. Carers are very helpful and polite. The home is clean and well-maintained. Thank you.
