My husband, diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2018, has been a resident at Aden House Care Home since December 2023. Aden House has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. All staff are friendly, caring and hardworking. A big thank you to everyone who works at the Home for making what is a difficult time in our lives, a happy one. If you are looking at care homes, don't hesitate, take time and view Aden House.

The staff are friendly and caring. Good food. Very pleasant lounge where residents can wander at their leisure.

I was shown around the home by the manager and given a choice of 3 vacant rooms for my husband who could not make the visit as he was sleeping, having advanced cancer. I was impressed by the light airiness of the home, by the staff who all greeted me and were cheerful and the cleanliness. There was a choice of 3 lounges plus a conservatory and the residents or visitors could go out into the garden to sit on several benches/eating arrangements. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I was able to spend more time with my husband than I had at home, as I had to do everything there. I had no support being the sole carer. My husband cooperated better with Aden House staff and I felt from the outset he was in loving hands and in a loving atmosphere. The management and the nurse had a very good grasp of his complex medication regime and this gave me confidence that he would take the medication as prescribed which was not always the case at home.

I was reticent about my Mum being placed here but I needn't have worried. I have found the staff to be caring and kind. They have made a great difference to my Mum's life and I cannot begin to say how wonderful I think they all are. That included every member of the team.

Mum went into Aden House while my sister went on holiday my brothers and sister saw a difference in Mum healthy and happy and feeding correctly. My brothers and sisters thought it to be better for Mum to stay. Mum agreed.

The staff team are lovely, my friend has resided in Aden House for a few months and I visit on Wednesdays to see them. The receptionist is ever so kind and always gives me a cup of tea to enjoy, it reminds me of when I visited him at home we have a good catch up and I enjoy it every time. It's comforting to know he's greatly cared for. Thank you.

My mother is well looked after and is always clean. The staff are friendly and happy to discuss matters with you. She has been a resident there for about 5 years now and seems very settled and content in her environment which is important with dementia patients.

The new manager of Aden House has moved mountains to improve the home. Changes to environment and cleanliness with in-house cafe and music in the foyer. Improvements to processes, documentation, like daily records are presented without question, such basics making a big difference. Care and consideration for residents has surpassed any expectation, so far removed from the previous diabolical state, it’s not comparable. If I request anything, it feels like Mum is the only resident, nothing is ever too much, a testament to the dedication given. We feel secure not only Mum's needs are met but Dad's needs too as a daily visitor. They maintain integrity, honesty, professionalism and moreover, the human element of what makes us all. Above all, I will say it was diabolical, Mum was neglected and I contacted CQC. But now is succeeding, progressing and regaining trust of families. The word trust is so small but means such a great deal. Distrust is a very hard to change but they have done just that.

There was a report on Aden House in the newspaper, stating that the home is unclean and unsafe. This might have been in early 2023 or before but it is definitely not now. I cannot fault Aden House at all. My wife has Alzheimer's and I visit her every day. My carer says she is lucky to be a resident there.

My husband has been in respite for one week to give me a break. The staff are wonderful, they have all looked after my husband very well, he had wanted to come home a few times and they have diverted him. It's the first time I have put him in a home and I can say it's really lovely in Aden House Care Home, I will use it again. Everyone has been lovely, when I phone up they are great. I'm so grateful to have somewhere close.

All the residents on the dementia unit are dirty, miserable, and covered in cuts, bruises and bandages. Rooms are dirty, empty and cold, the floors and walls are constantly sticky and covered in food, and carers don’t bother cleaning up spills despite the slip hazards. Residents walk around half-naked or in soiled clothing. Only one carer on the dementia unit bothers to bath/shower them so they smell and end up looking dishevelled 90% of the time. I have never seen a single carer using proper moving and handling techniques to assist the residents. The residents are treated like naughty children. The carers put in no effort to connect with and support the clients. I have a folder with 132 pictures of injuries my relative has sustained during the last 3 months at Aden House care home. This is not how a care home should be run.

This care home helped us at very, very short notice after an emergency at home. Management and staff were brilliant not only with us but with our close friend for the few days they had stayed with Aden House Care Home. I would recommend to anyone looking for a care home.

My dad passed away 12 months ago which due to mum having dementia meant I had to put mum into a care home something I promised mum I would never do. But it ended up being the best place for her, never thought I would see her so happy, she loves it and this is down to the wonderful caring staff who are doing an amazing job looking after her. Knowing she’s happy and being well looked after means everything to me and I can’t thank them enough.

My grandma was living here from the beginning of lockdown due to a decline in health and hospital admission. Since admission, my grandma declined further in health and well-being, which subsequently led to further hospital admissions which were worrying during a pandemic. My grandma went in for respite however that was never achieved and it’s with regret she sadly passed away. Despite government guidance of compassionate visits in end of life care, I was myself denied these, on one occasion I was told that a meal takes priority over this visit. Within a few hours of this, my grandma passed away. Following a complaint, I have had no acknowledgement from the company or home manager. No condolence card or wishes. Would not suggest this home to anyone.

I'd like to express my sincere thanks to all at Aden House for looking after both my Dad and Mum in such a caring and loving way. You were all so nice to my Dad when he was able to visit my Mum and latterly in his final 3 weeks as a resident before he peacefully went to sleep. I could see how lovingly you looked after my Mum too and made her feel as much at home as possible. You also showed great dignity and compassion when both my Dad and Mum passed away and provided me with caring support and help. Under difficult circumstances, you have been a credit to the caring profession. Many thanks again.

My Dad recently passed away after being in the wonderful care of Aden House for 6 months. He had multiple conditions but the staff at this care home were amazing, not just with my Dad but with the whole family as well. The manager is so lovely, pleasant and knowledgable. The nurses and carers were professional and caring with a good sense of humour. We appreciated this very much. It is very evident that they care about their residents. We would like to thank the manager, nurses, carers, chefs, handymen, laundry employees etc for looking after my Dad so well.

Visited my friend at Aden House and the staff were very friendly from the manager to the care girls. Even though I'm not related I was welcome. The home looks a bit tired and dated but it has a happy friendly staff which is nice. I would be happy to live there when I'm older.
