My mother has been a resident at Amberwood House for the last nine years. The care that Mum has received has been excellent during this time. As Mum's health has deteriorated staff have adapted to her needs and take time to explain what they are doing, because of her hearing and dementia.

We are finding Amberwood House a very safe, homely and happy place for our mum to be in. Every member of staff that we have met has been very loving and caring to Mum. The food is very good but Mum would welcome more plain and simple food.

I can genuinely say I would boast about Amberwood House, it is perfect. All the staff are attentive and friendly, I am very content and have not been let down by anyone.

I was my mother-in-law's carer prior to her move to Amberwood House and I harboured fears that she may not receive the same care as I had been giving. Oh my goodness, I was so wrong to worry! Every member of staff, no matter which department they work in, has become our extended family. Their care, love and devotion to all residents is wonderful to see and be a part of. Amberwood is truly a special place and the staff there all give 100%, every day in every way. All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart.

From the moment you arrive at Amberwood House, you are greeted with smiles and treated like part of a family. I feel so lucky that my mum now has a second family to look after her, everyone from the companions, cleaning, medical, management and carers take time out to check and engage with my mum, above what would be considered as their normal job role. I cannot thank all the staff enough for the care and love they give to my mum and all our family.

Mum has been in Amberwood House for 2 years now. She has settled in really well. My daughter and I looked at other care homes in the area but Amberwood was the best that we saw. The staff are all excellent, from the kitchen through to the nursing staff and everyone is committed to providing the best of care with dignity. It is very important as a family that we are secure in the fact that Mum is in the best place and with the best care and Amberwood surpasses that at every level.

Amazing care home, can not find anything to complain about! My Mother is very happy and looked after extremely well.

The way they all care for my grandmother is beyond our expectations. The consideration of all the staff towards my grandmother is exceptional, always ready to talk and update on any matter. As she comes towards end-of-life nowhere could be better for her to spend her final days.

My father has been a resident at Amberwood House since June 2018. The care and support he receives has always been excellent and all the staff are very supportive and friendly. When we see the manager, she is always very welcoming and takes the time to talk to us, an outstanding manager. The activities are very good and my father particularly enjoys the minibus trips out to local places. It feels very homely and I feel confident that my father is in a safe place and looked after very well. Nothing seems too much trouble and the staff go out of their way to help. Thank you to everyone who works there! I would not hesitate to recommend Amberwood House, it is the best care home!

At first, I was not looking forward to entering a care home as I had heard so many bad reports. My daughter found Amberwood House for me and I must admit I have been very happy since being here. Lovely caring staff, excellent food and everything run at an extremely high standard. Amberwood House is tops and now home for me.

My mother has lived happily here for eleven months now. The care and attention to detail are of a very high standard. All the staff are very kind and attentive. It was the best decision to choose this home for my mother. The companion team have absolutely made a huge difference in Mum's life. The home manager is an excellent manager and always has time for Mum and the relatives.

My mother settled into Amberwood House really quickly and has no regrets about leaving her home. The staff have been lovely and have really catered for all her needs. The rooms and communal areas are clean and tidy and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend Amberwood House.

I cannot fault Amberwood House and all staff there. They made my mother's last few months a joy with their caring, kindness and unfailing compassion. They took in a challenge as the only place she wanted to be was 'home' and that simply wasn't possible. They patiently won her round, discovered gentle ways to deal with the anxiety and behaviours and made her feel loved. The food was excellent. Mother regained all the weight she had lost through not eating at home.

The best decision I made for my mum was placing her in Colten. From the top management to the part-time staff. Everyone's focus is on the resident. Nothing is too much trouble for all staff whether it's medical, activities meals or just a chat. I have been so impressed with how the relatives are kept informed of medical conditions or just chat about anything I wish to discuss with them. If you are considering a care home for a friend or relative please talk to the management and staff at Amberwood. It will be the best move you make for your loved one.

Always excellent care for my Mum. The staff are so welcoming and have always gone the extra mile to give Mum a safe, caring and dignified home. I cannot thank each and every member of staff enough. Mum recently tested for Covid and the staff either phoned or sent a text every day to update us. Thankfully she had recovered but this is how lovely and caring the staff are.

My mother-in-law has been at Amberwood House since 2019 and has always received the best care. The staff are always friendly and professional and go out of their way to make her stay as enjoyable as possible. I have the highest regard for the staff and the high standards they maintain.

Following many months of illness, my sister's speedy admission to Amberwood and warm, caring welcome was a huge relief. This is a very comfortable home. The atmosphere was calm and homely. She loves her room, spending time in the garden and lounge, feels safe and secure, and knows she is in the right place. Staff are wonderful, genuinely kind, caring, compassionate, and skilled. Nothing too much trouble. With their help, my sister is regaining mobility and enjoying life again. The generous meals look wonderful. Visitors are very welcome. Amberwood has given me reassurance that my sister has peace of mind, compassionate care, and quality of life, all I could ask for.

Amberwood House offers a homely environment that is both caring and professional. It is well led by a General Manager and Health Care Manager who are both very approachable and supportive. All the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to meet the needs of their residents nothing is too much trouble. The catering is excellent and offers a varied and appetising choice of dishes each day. Guests are allowed to visit at any time which is very flexible. Highly recommend the home.

Fantastic environment and great all round professional care with obvious strong leadership. Comfortable surroundings, spacious facilities and very flexible, accomodating staff/administrators.

My father arrived at Amberwood in August 2020 following a major stroke. His mental health had been hugely affected by the stroke and he was extremely unsettled. The staff at Amberwood have been wonderful and shown so much kindness and consideration to my father’s condition. The staff have been very supportive to me during difficult times and I’ve seen an almost miraculous improvement in my dad’s condition. He is very settled and very fond of the staff led by the manager. I feel there’s excellent team morale and a strong working ethos with an emphasis on compassion. I thoroughly recommend Amberwood.
