My mother-in-law has settled in so well to Wellington Vale, having moved in just before Christmas. She had been reluctant to take the step but has actually enjoyed letting go of all the day to day problems running a house entailed. She loves the garden, especially the wild life that can be seen from her penthouse and the fact that someone else cuts the grass and hedges! She's made good friends there and the nurses, carers and activities team are dedicated and very understanding of her needs and wants. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff, whether that is planting flowers from her old garden, having a chat whilst cleaning her room, sorting out a sticky door or booking her in for a hair cut.

The team at Wellington Vale have made Mum very welcome since she moved in. Although feeling uncertain about the home, she has been very well cared for and now loves her new home. She has made new friends and loves the staff who care for her. She loves the meals and has put weight on since relocating. She enjoys most of the activities, especially the balloon volleyball and trips out. The facilities are amazing and the staff so welcoming, engaging and helpful, both to Mum and us.

Excellent care, staff attentive and accessible at all times. The home provides many activities and encourages all residents to participate. Menus - excellent, multiple choices. No hesitation in recommending Wellington Vale.

The team at Wellington Vale are outstanding. I cannot recommend this care home enough. Upon entering it is like a 5-star hotel, so welcoming from the start. All the staff are amazing, so kind, caring, well trained and knowledgable. They all respect their residents, treating them as individuals, preserving their dignity and promoting a wonderful sense of self-worth. The ratio of staff to residents is evident every time we visit, all staff are cheerful, never seem to be in a hurry so they have plenty of time to attend to the needs of individual residents without having to rush them. The meals are awesome, homecooked and well thought out with plenty of choices. I am pleasantly surprised that my mum has settled in so well, she feels safe, secure and part of a large family at Wellington Vale. The Home Admissions Advisor and team certainly exceed all expectations. Thank you to everyone.

My mother-in-law always dreaded going into a care home, we were so pleased when we found Wellington Vale. The members of staff are lovely, caring, approachable, great at keeping the family updated and asking for our input. We've been to a few events here the best was the carnival on bule Monday, it was such fun, the residents were dancing, laughing and smiling. Those in bed could see the float as it passed by their door and they had visits from the various members of staff in fab fancy dress, it was a joy to watch and be part of. Well done everyone and thank you.

I always visit my Grandad at Wellington Vale and it shows a real difference in his personality. He's met so many new friends, and so many new stories to tell. He's well looked after and seems so much happier.

The team at Wellington Vale cared for my dad in the last few days of his life. I was overwhelmed by the level of care that he received. The staff were friendly, respectful, very knowledgeable and above all incredibly caring. I will be forever grateful that we were able to find a room here and cannot recommend Wellington Vale highly enough. Wonderful. Thank you all.

What an amazing place Wellington Vale is! There is a fantastic atmosphere as soon as you enter; vibrant, friendly, and fun with a definite 'buzz' about the place! My 95-year-old father moved in three months ago and loves his new home. The management and staff are already like family. Dad loves the daily activities, delicious meals and professional thoughtful care he receives. His room is beautiful, the place is more like a five-star residential hotel than a care home. It's a game changer for me living 5000 miles away knowing he is safe, happy and enjoying his new lifestyle!

Wellington Vale is a wonderful, friendly home designed to assist and help residents and their families. The home is managed professionally, friendly and is always welcoming.

Both my parents were resident at Wellington Vale for several months for end-of-life care. It was the worst time of our lives but we honestly couldn't have got through it without the exemplary care of the staff and nurses at Wellington Vale. I know both my parents were as happy as they could be under the circumstances. The place is beautiful and more like a boutique hotel but the nursing and care staff make this a safe humane, caring place to be. They went above and beyond for us.

I recently visited my Nan and would just like to say just how lovely the experience was. The home is beautiful and feels like being in a hotel. The staff were all so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble and assisted when we were in the seating area getting a hot drink. It really does not feel like a care home and is very clean.

Right from the initial visit and meeting with the manager I felt confident about Wellington Vale. Professional and friendly, information was shared that covered all the important details. My dad's room was attractive and clean, and we were invited to bring things which would make him feel at home. An important point for us was that he be encouraged and supported to be independent and move regularly - all of which happened. Everyone we met from the office team and nursing staff, to those who planned the menu and activities were helpful, genuine and supportive. 100% recommend.

Great experience from the first enquiry to make their moving in and then onto a home closer to friends. My mum gained strength and zest for life after a few days in their care. She loved the food and they went beyond to accommodate her dairy-free diet.

My husband was in respite care for 4 weeks and I must say how well he was looked after. All staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them.

We went in to visit my father-in-law at Wellington Gate. I was very impressed by the friendliness of the staff but also the warm welcoming of the environment and lounge area. My father-in-law had such a lovely 4-week respite - he was well looked after and engaged in many of the provided activities. I know he is looking to go back as soon as he can.

My dad stayed at Wellington Vale Care Home for a month for respite care after a fall. The manager and the team looked after Dad, warmly, with kindness and compassion. Over the weeks my dad became his old self, sociable and joined in with most of the activities. Became chatty again and learned to look toward the future again. He enjoyed, the comfort of his own room, a comfortable bed and the wide choice of meals. Meeting new people and having visitors in a lovely care home setting, often showing his visitors around with pride; saying it was a lovely care home with wonderful staff. He loved joining in with the activities, especially the drum and yoga exercises and the singing. Wellington Vale Care Home is a special place, with warm, kind, friendly staff and feels an extension of your own home. The staff made everything easy and were friendly and accommodating. We as a family would highly recommend Wellington Vale Care Home to others - it was exceptional.
