My husband was transferred to Apollo House after spending a couple of months in hospital. All the staff were very helpful, caring, professional, polite and attentive to my husband. They showed endless patience and kindness with the sometimes challenging behaviour of some of the residents. They were always able to help with any special requests (my husband often wanted his lunch a bit later than the usual time as he wasn't hungry at the appointed time), and they very kindly served his lunch a bit later. He improved enormously during his 6-week stay and is now back at home Thank you to all the staff at Apollo House.

I could not be happier with the care my brother-in-law received during his time at Apollo House. The staff have always been caring and professional and the home is always well maintained and clean. My brother-in-law has sadly now passed away but the care and kindness shown to him and the family during his final days was very much appreciated. Thank you all so much for your kindness.

My father-in-law transferred temporarily to Apollo House from Northampton General Hospital in early June 2024 following a hip operation and diagnosis of vascular dementia. Whilst the home is a little tired looking, it was always clean and functional and the staff were always welcoming, helpful, professional and caring. My father-in-law wasn't happy being in the home and sometimes displayed verbally aggressive and other challenging behaviours. The staff however dealt with this patiently, gently and with a smile. The family knew he was safe and well looked after which was a relief. My father-in-law moved to a permanent care home in early Oct 2024. The family would like to thank the staff at Apollo House for their care of him. They even said they would miss him as he is certainly a character!

I am writing a review on this lovely well well-maintained home and the staff are above and beyond at Apollo House, one of the best I have ever visited. Nothing is ever too much for them, they look after each patient so lovingly, I would recommend it to anyone and be happy for any of my family to be there. Top marks from management to domestic, can't fault the place.

Overall experience was ok, staff were always welcoming and attentive. Communication could have been better and I was kept updated with my friend's current health. Overall seemed a friendly home and my friend was ok being there.

Apollo is very caring and works hard with all their residents in my opinion, my husband has a lot of issues like so many there. But all the staff take it in their stride to reassure them when necessary.

We have found all the staff to be friendly, caring and kind during the hardest of times. We can not thank them enough for the care given to my grandmother during her time spent there. We would highly recommend them for their professional manner.

My dad was in here for 8 weeks, I was absolutely amazed at the care he received from all the staff on floor 3. I’ve worked in many care homes and the staff that work here are the most patient, understanding and polite carers I have ever met. I have not one complaint at all. My dad was visited at least three times a week by his family and every time the staff were amazing. You all deserve a medal.

My brother was in this care home for the last year of his life with Dementia. As soon as I walked in Apollo House I could feel the warmth and felt it was a very homely place. The facilities were good - he had a nice big room and an ensuite - all of which were meticulously clean. I was kept up to date by phone on how he was. I visited as often as I could and was always made welcome. The staff always had a smile for us. The were considerate, compassionate and very kind to all the patients. My son who is autistic could sometimes not go into the room with me as sometimes it overwhelmed him so he would sit on the floor in the corridor outside - he was always brought a chair and we were always offered refreshments. The atmosphere was lovely and calm. In his last days he couldn't walk he could only sit in his room. The staff made sure he had the radio on to keep him company - he loved music. I owe all the staff a huge debt for looking after my brother so well. Thank you.

The atmosphere at Apollo makes it always pleasant to visit. The staff are attentive and communicative and their attention to patients is exemplary and respectful. Well done.

All staff are very professional and caring. Looked after us when my father passed away with great compassion. Nothing was too much trouble, we highly recommend Apollo House Care Home to look after your loved ones. The home is very clean and well-run.

My mother was cared for by an excellent team of carers and nursing staff who were extremely attentive to my mother’s needs at all times Communication about my mother’s medical condition was empathic, professional and totally reliable. Everything that could be done to support my mother was done. It is a pity that the review policy forbids naming anyone as the chief male nurse was outstanding in every respect.

My dad has been in Apollo House for a year and a half now and my family are very happy with the care that he receives. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for us when we come to visit and we are always made to feel welcome. I live in Italy and when I leave I just know he is in the best place. The home is very well managed by all the staff. Thank you for everything you do for my dad and all the residents.

My husband has been a resident here for just over a year, he settled in very well, the staff here are extremely supportive and the care given is exceptional. He is always shaved and looking good and kept comfortable. I look forward to my visits, always made to feel welcome with a smile and cup of tea and biscuit. Thank you.

Apollo House has soon become my father and mother-in-law's home. They always appear happy and well cared for. They are allowed to move around freely and all the staff know them well and interact with them in a personable way. Myself and my husband are always made welcome at visits and someone is always available to answer our enquiries. My mum-in-law now genuinely smiles and laughs and has fun with her husband, this was missing at her last home.

I continue to be impressed with this well-managed and well-run nursing home. It provides an excellent level of care to my wife. It is my experience while visiting that staff are tireless in their patience, kindness and understanding. They demonstrate skill in caring for all residents many of whom have demanding needs. Any health issues are promptly and expertly dealt with. I try to time my visits to encompass meal times and can see the food is well-balanced and very appetising. The carers make every effort to ensure all the residents are well fed. This home is well-maintained, clean and tidy. it gives a safe secure environment.

My husband has been at Apollo House for two years and in that time all the carers have been really polite and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I can't praise everyone enough for the very good care my husband gets.

My parents moved to Apollo House six months ago when they could no longer live at home. Apollo enabled them to stay together (despite their different needs) and spend valued time together until Dad sadly passed away. Apollo has a great team and it really feels like you are part of a bigger family all working together for the safety and well-being of your loved one(s). The rooms are large, clean and well-equipped and you're encouraged to make them feel like home. Apollo has provided a high standard of care, treating my parents as individuals, and with dignity. Nursing care is excellent and the team works closely with the family. The management team is future-thinking, very supportive and understanding. Visitors are greeted like friends. Everyone works hard but makes time to say hello and give you an update. As eye-watering as the charges seem when you are out of the system I can honestly say that it is worth it to know that your loved one is safe, well cared for and happy.

Always a very welcoming and supportive environment we were shown such kindness always a cup of tea and biscuits and the staff would come and sit and talk with us in what was a very difficult time. It's always hard to lose a loved one but knowing he was in a place that was familiar to him with people who understood him, and that he was always comfortable and cared for means a lot to us. Huge thanks to all of the staff who worked hard to make my husband's last days as good as they could be.
