Since my partner/friend had been placed at Garth House the level of care received has been excellent. The attention to their needs has been met with kindness and consideration at all times. The staff are attentive and polite.

Our mother has been at Garth House for two years and overall we have found it to be a well-run home. The management responds quickly to issues that may arise and the nurses are friendly and our mother has grown attached to them. The care team work hard and look after our mother well - although this care can be patchy. Also, attention to detail is sometimes missing when it comes to the maintenance of our mother's room.

My Mother-in-law is happy and contented at Garth House and is well cared for on a day-to-day basis. The nursing/caring and management staff are always friendly and helpful, and are quick to respond to any issues that are brought up. The recent refurbishment has given the care home a new lease of life and now has a much fresher feel. Some of the rooms now need the same attention!

On the day I visited, the home looked lovely after being partly refurbished, I especially liked the armchairs in the residents' lounge, which made it look homely and not like a Care Home. It would be nice if my aunt's room could have a bit of a refresh but that may be planned for the future. My aunt looked well dressed and well cared for and she couldn't speak more highly of the lunch that day, which she thoroughly enjoyed. All the staff were welcoming and friendly although I feel that maybe they are under a bit of pressure occasionally. Regardless, they always speak to the residents with kindness and understanding. There is a nice atmosphere there. The garden area is attractive and well-used by residents when the weather permits. I enjoyed the garden party on the day I visited and my aunt enjoyed the setting too.

Every time I visit my mum, the staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Garth House keeps us informed of any doctor's and optician's visits and of anything that may be required for her health. My mother seems to have settled in well, especially with her nursing needs. She is very much cared for by Garth House.

Mother is very well cared for, and the staff are fully aware of her personal care needs. Nothing is too much trouble. The family are very glad she has settled in well and is cared for compassionately, and therefore, need for any family concerns. Thank you.

My father has resided at Garth House for almost a year now. He has advanced vascular dementia and is unable to walk, so he stays in his bedroom. The staff there look after his every need and are extremely attentive. They know his ways, and as he finds it difficult to express his needs, they are very patient with him. They help him feed and drink, and he is always clean. I am updated whenever anything changes, and it is very reassuring knowing he is being cared for.

My mother has been at Garth House for three years, and during that time, has been well cared for. Her medical needs are well monitored and suitable measures have been taken to maintain her safety - i.e. sensor mat, assistance with walking etc, and her diet is regularly monitored to be of a suitable consistency and quality. I have been kept well informed of changes in her condition. She struggles at times to communicate her wishes consistently but is listened to patiently, and then her wishes are complied with when possible/appropriate. She has been given gentle encouragement to participate in the activities when she wants to, but often tries quickly and requests to go back to her room, and the staff oblige as soon as they can. When particular issues crop up, the staff have been accessible and helpful in dealing with them and have responded to my requests if I have highlighted an area that needs attention. I appreciate being able to visit regularly as convenient.

My mother is well cared for at Garth House and she seems settled there. The staff are coming and attend to all her needs. She is able to converse with the staff and forming a relationship with them. The food seems good but my mother is a difficult eater, I am pleased staff encourage her to eat or feed her. She is always presentable and clean. I have been impressed by the range of activities on offer ad that she is encouraged to partake. Downside; her room looks tired and shabby in places.

The team at the Garth gave Mum excellent care, the same people looked after her and so got to know what she needed, with her condition this prevented her from becoming confused. The care and nursing team showed great compassion keeping us informed and up to date. We could visit most times of the day and the activities kept Mum stimulated, her favourite was the sherry social.

My stepmother was admitted in June 2023, sadly she had cancer and her time was limited. Garth House was the perfect place to keep her safe. The staff are so caring. They treated her with dignity and respect. Which was so important to her and to me and her daughter who lived in America. It should also be noted that the staff were just wonderful when it came to my stepmother's death. They stayed with her which was a great comfort to know she had people around her holding her hand in her last moments. They kept me informed. Sadly due to traffic we didn't make it in time. On visiting I felt part of the family, the staff were always so welcoming. I would highly recommend Garth House.

Garth House provided our mother with respite care for two weeks. We received a very positive welcome and mum soon settled into the home. She has enjoyed the company of residents and excellent staff who were very attentive. She especially enjoyed the daily programme of activities and being able to sit in the lovely garden. Mum is coming home fitter and ready to resume life.

Garth House care home sets a really high standard that all other care homes should aspire to. From the manager to the housekeepers, all of the staff show that they are proud of their high standards of care. I'm just amazed at the amount of activities available to the clients and the interaction there is with clients, entertainers and fitness professionals. If or when I need to move into a care home, this is the one I would want to stay in.

My wife was quite poorly when admitted to Garth House after a month in hospital. I was so pleased for her to be there and over the two months she was there I never changed from that view. The home was always clean, calm and welcoming and the management team, nurses and carers took the best care of my wife's needs and indeed my own and I always felt comfortable leaving her in their care. My wife was regularly checked and was always kept clean and comfortable and treated with kindness, dignity and respect. I can't thank Garth House enough for the care given to her and would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone. I don't think we could have found anywhere better.

Garth House staff welcomed Mum into the home in December and the standard of care and thoughtfulness have been excellent. Sadly, Mum has recently passed away, it is very reassuring that Mum spent her last weeks in such a caring environment. We are so glad we chose Garth House.

My mother received the most loving and professional end-of-life care possible from Garth House. Together, the nursing home manager, nurses, Mum's GP, and I agreed that the best place for Mum's last few days would be at Garth House. All the staff made sure Mum was comfortable and without pain. Garth House is a great team and over those last few days, the carers and nurses (day and night shifts) competently checked and cared for my mother, looking after her with great dignity and always checking that I was ok too. Even the catering staff looked after me giving me sandwiches to keep me going. I think the standard of care was exceptional for the whole team at Garth House, from the manager, nurses and carers to the admin staff.

My brother moved into Garth House over two years ago following a serious fall and five months in the hospital. He has settled in very well and regards Garth House as his home. The staff are so professional and caring and my brother is very fond of them. The food is very good and nothing is too much trouble for them to ensure he enjoys his meals. His room is bright and airy with an en-suite looking out into the garden. The staff ensure that my brother walks regularly, while supporting him which he really enjoys as he is wheelchair-bound for most of the time. I cannot recommend Garth House highly enough.
