Quite superb! My Dad has been a resident at Dovedale Court for the past four years. It is such a fantastic place with the most caring and attentive staff. The facilities are great with lovely gardens, rooms and communal areas. The staff are amazingly professional but also loving and caring. They look after the residents with dignity and compassion. The activities are frequent and varied, with parties, singers, animals and trips a plenty. When they identify a particular passion, they try to fill it, taking residents, bowling or to bike events or gardens. Dad has unfortunately had to move to a nursing home due to increased needs and the team helped find and vet a place, helped negotiate a room and have visited him at his new home. We simply could not have managed the past four years without them. All the staff have been superb and it feels unfair to single any of them out but three members of staff deserve particular mention. Thank you so much for all you have done x

My husband has been at Dovedale Court for almost two years now, and we are extremely happy with the care he receives. Most importantly, my husband is very happy and settled! Not only the care and respect the staff show my husband, but also my whole family, is above and beyond. Angels - every one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The home is exceptional; all the staff are a second family. The care Dad receives is such that our peace of mind is kept sound - we know Dad is safe and loved.

My father was in for respite care for two weeks and it was his first time ever. So even though I was really anxious to start with, the care team quickly put me at ease and my dad settled in well.

Barchester Dovedale Court Care Home is a fantastic place. Mum is looked after perfectly and is always clean and well fed and cared for. Never had any issues and trust the staff implicitly. They are all so caring and treat Mum with respect and dignity. I have seen inside many care homes throughout Lancashire in my job and nowhere comes close to Dovedale - no comparison. It's a wonderful place.

remarkable care, I am so happy my husband resides at Barchester Dovedale Court Care Home. He's happy, content and well cared for. Staff, entertainment etc., it's all there, gives me peace of mind. I wouldn't change his placement for the world.

My mother is a resident at Barchester Dovedale Court Care Home. She moved in around January 2024. She has completely changed since moving there. She is happier. She laughs and is chatting all the time. A complete change from her previous home. The staff that really make up Dovedale are amazing. They are skilled, enthusiastic, caring, cheerful, well-trained professionals. I dread to think where we and our mother would be without them. Lifesavers. Can't say enough good things about Dovedale and the staff.

My father has significant support needs. He has been at Barchester Dovedale Court Care Home for six years and has received tremendous care and support in all that time. On three occasions, he has been diagnosed as likely to pass in the next few days and on each occasion, the staff have helped nurse him to much stronger health. They are caring, friendly and very effective at looking after my father and the other residents. We could not recommend the place more highly.

The staff here make my mum feel like she's being cared for properly which is a huge relief for the family. My mum has been in two previous care homes that don't come close to Barchester Dovedale Court Care Home. Couldn't ask for more.

Compared to the last home this is in a league of its own. Staff so nice, another world.

The facility and the staff are just what you would hope for when a loved one goes into care. Every member of Dovedale Court I have encountered are professional, caring, empathetic and sincere. They all clearly are extremely passionate about their vocation and it shows - simply put, they are brilliant.

We had a lovely time on the 12th of July celebrating Mum's 94th birthday. I attended, along with Mum husband - Dad and my husband. Had a wonderful three-course meal laid on by the staff making it a special occasion and Dad will be writing himself to thank the home personally. In my experience, the staff are always attentive and caring. The overall feeling one gets whilst visiting mum is one of a loving and caring 'home from home'. We are now looking forward to my parents' 70th wedding anniversary celebration, organised by the staff. Lovely food (and a wonderful cake) by the chef.

I visited my my friend last week, the first time I have seen her since she moved there. From the moment I entered the building I was greeted with a warm welcome, staff were polite and friendly. I had a lovely visit and look forward to my next one.

The care dad receives here is excellent. His individual needs are fully met and I'm sure this has helped him settle so happily.

The carers and the nurses at Dovedale Court are wonderful with my dad. They show him kindness, compassion and respect and are very patient with him. There is excellent communication between the care home and our family and I truly believe that my dad is in the best possible place for his needs right now.

Dovedale Court Care Home is a warm and welcoming place. The staff are experienced and show genuine care and compassion for the residents and their families. During the early days of Mum's stay at Dovedale Court, we were shown kindness, understanding and a high standard of care. When I leave Mum after a visit, I have every confidence that she is safe and being well cared for. I have no hesitation in recommending Dovedale Court for your loved one.

Very happy with it all. All are very willing to help. The staff are all great.
