Though our expereince with Stanley House lasted only a few days, we cannot fault the care and comfort that our loved one received in his final days. From the moment we stepped into the home, we were greeted with reassurance, guidance and a sense of real care. We were never made to feel that any question was too big and never felt rushed to make any decisions. Instead, we were supported by a dedicated nursing team, who walked the final journey with us. Even when our loved one passed, the respect and reverence that he was shown was unmatched. We were given the space to grieve, and say goodbye and each next step was explained delicately. Stanley House, we thank you.

On the first enquiry, the manager was very welcoming and helpful, also while we were trying to sort out a different payment scheme with the council. We felt the staff seemed more interested in interacting with the residents than we'd noticed in all other care homes we'd visited. We were very happy with the care my mother received and would recommend Stanley House to others.

Mum was in Stanley House for only 8 months in that short time the management and staff went above and beyond to attend to all her needs, nothing was too much trouble. They were always friendly, polite, professional and respectful. They kept us informed at all stages. Also entering the home it had a very calming atmosphere, it's rather like being in a five-star hotel. The rooms are well-decorated and cosy. There is a great activity team who organise a wide range of programmes which the residents and families can take part in and have fun together. Good choice of meals on the daily menu board. Laundry service provided, what more could you want, I would recommend Stanley House.

We would like to thank all of the team at Stanley House for the outstanding care given to my dad during the last few months of his life. All of the team took time to get to know him personally, and they always treated him with kindness, dignity and respect. He loved his time with you all, and nothing was ever too much trouble. It wasn’t just the nursing and care team that made his stay with you so comfortable, but also the housekeeping, laundry and catering teams. Thank you to you all.

Dad was only at Stanley House for a few weeks on end-of-life care. However, he could not have been looked after better; his care during his time there was exemplary. As a family, we were kept up to date with every stage of his situation and medical needs, and everything was explained clearly. Nothing was too much trouble, and all the staff were very caring and totally professional. We could not have wanted anything better for our dad's last days. Thank you to all the staff.

The entertainment programme sets Stanley House apart from other homes we considered. The dedicated entertainment staff do a great job of getting the residents involved in different activities and keeping them moving and engaging in something other than just sitting and watching TV. Overall, the staff all work hard and are friendly. I would like to see a bit more attention to small things, such as making sure residents actually drink what is put in front of them rather than leaving them to do it themselves when some need help.

Staff were very supportive and caring throughout Mum's stay. Some went above and beyond and showed genuine affection. Highly recommended for end-of-life care in a clean and safe environment.

My experience of Stanley House was overall a very positive one. The staff were always very attentive and kind. I always felt that nothing was too much trouble, and queries and concerns were always addressed very rapidly. My mum was happy in Stanley House, and I would recommend this home to anyone looking for somewhere like this for a loved one.

My mum was only at Stanley House for a very short time, but during her stay, she was looked after very well. The staff were all very kind, considerate and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble for them. I was always made welcome, and the nurses always made time to update me on my mum. The only thing I can find to complain about, and it's not really a complaint, is that the bedrooms really do need an update.

Mum had a short stay. Nice room. Although Mum was not able to engage in activities, she was always included. Care and dignity were my priorities for Mum, which was excellent. Staff friendly and approachable. Happy place. Thank you.

My mum received loving care from attentive and kind staff who were happy to help at any time of the day or night. Mum loved the home-cooked food which helped her to get her appetite back, as well as the company of the staff and residents and the interesting and stimulating activities. Mum especially enjoyed the singing (and the professional singers) her words were 'we had a good afternoon'. The family thank all the staff at Stanley House for their support and care of our Mum. Thank you.

Genuine caring staff, the best overall nursing home we have visited.

My mother resided at Stanley House for three and a half years, and I was very happy with the care she received. All the staff were very professional and caring and treated the residents with respect. The activities were many and varied and designed to include all the residents. My mother's reported that the food was very good, and she looked forward to the meals. I would certainly recommend Stanley House to anyone seeking care for their loved one.

Very pleased with Stanley House care home. Very clean, and lovely, friendly staff. My mother-in-law is very pleased with the food. She also loves the activities every day.

My mother was admitted straight from the hospital for end-of-life care. All the staff were very courteous, caring and professional. She was looked after very well. The other thing that stood out, for the period of time that Mum was able to eat, was the quality of the meals served - restaurant quality food that was well presented.

Mum is very happy at Stanley House and feels it's as good as you can get. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and everywhere is always nice and clean. There appears to be a good and varied activities program. I would definitely recommend it to a friend/relative.

Stanley House is comfortable, clean and homely. All the staff are caring, friendly and helpful. The quality of food is exceptional, and always a variety of choices available. The activity team are wonderful; they continue to find something different for the residents to take part in on a daily basis. I would recommend this home!

Exceptional care in a clean and friendly environment. All staff are exceptionally caring and are managed by a very competent and professional team. Stanley House is the home I would choose if I needed such a facility.
