As soon as you walk into the care home, it definitely feels like a home, and not like a glorified hotel. Receptionist and manager were extremely helpful and very welcoming. All areas were clean, lots of different areas residents could go to, and a lovely outside space, lots of activities on offer too. Best home that I have visited, and with great staff would highly recommend.

My mum has been at Dorrington House for nearly 2 years. The care and kindness she receives is excellent. My mum is happy and well cared for by the staff. I feel supported too when things get overwhelming. I honestly don't know where we would be without the staff here.

My nan lives in the home. I can honestly say this place is one of a kind. The people living here do so much. The activity people are fantastic. The home looks fresh, homely, clean and inviting with the new decor. The staff team are always helpful, happy, chatty and kind. The manager is very friendly and always lists and fixes any problems. This is a care home to be sought after and always remembered.

Dorrington House is a home-from-home. All the staff are amazing, always enjoy visiting mum as I know she is being cared for very well. There is always something going on where mum can join in if she wants. I highly recommend this home. A thank you from our family for the care you give mum.

I cannot fault the care my mother and father have received from Dorrington House. I am always kept informed and regularly updated regarding their care, medications etc. The staff are amazing always exhibiting care and compassion towards the residents and indeed toward other family members. The atmosphere in the home is always happy and there is always something going on in the form of entertainment, activities or outings which the residents are all encouraged to engage in. I am so grateful to all at Dorrington House for looking after my parents so diligently.

Good standard of care and great colleagues. All approachable and good hygiene My mother has been there for some time and the standard of care is good. Food is plentiful and good quality. Well done, good stuff. The manager and deputies are great.

Outstanding care and support from all the staff. A very friendly, happy environment which my mother enjoys. Always lots of activities for all residents. Spotlessly clean and tidy care home also with a beautiful garden area enjoyed by all. I know that mum is well looked after at all times and we have 24/7 contact with the Dorrington House Team. They are all truly an excellent team. We are so lucky and grateful that mum is happy here.

Mum is very introverted and the staff have worked really hard to encourage and support her despite her protestations. She is very well cared for and supported and some of the staff really go the extra mile to make her feel called for - when there are any issues for mum communications are frequent and informative.

My grandmother is very well looked after here. She very rarely takes part in activities but the staff are great at getting her involved. She seems very happy here and all the staff I have met have been great.

While visiting mum the carers were dealing with a very demanding resident. They were so patient and kind. They are very friendly and look after the residents extremely well. I was very impressed with all the staff.
