The staff are kind and caring. There is a range of activities my mum find rewarding, with the caring staff. We are always made welcome when visiting. The atmosphere is so friendly. The home manager is always available and has given support to our family.

We had to move Mum to this care home due to the previous home could not take her anymore because of her mobility issues. We were quite apprehensive to move her again. We came to visit Nicholas House as an option, and we were very impressed with the commitment of the staff, particularly one lady, she has gone above and beyond to ensure Mum's needs were taken care of, and the staff can't do enough for her. She is always included in activities and joins in and feels included in the community of the home - can't recommend this home enough. Thank you for caring for Mum.

Mum has been in this home for about two months, and I can praise the staff that the care they provide is outstanding. My mum is being very well looked after. Management is a very good team and treats Mum with respect, especially one member of staff.

Amazed by the activities offered to my relative. The food is absolutely amazing. The staff are very helpful and always smiling. Nothing is too much trouble.

A well-run establishment, safe and clean for residents and health matters are dealt with in a professional way. Plenty of activities during the day. I find that in the meals department food is sometimes served on flat plates. Alzheimer's/dementia patients find this difficult as they cannot cope with cutting up food and the food ends up spread across the table. Food in small portions, cut into bite-size pieces in a bowl so they can use a spoon or fork is much better for them to cope with. Also, they are not as quick and take longer to finish a meal.

The staff at Nicholas House are brilliant. Our Mum has been here almost a year and she is very happy. She is well cared for, the food is excellent, lots of varied activities and entertainment so all residents can join in. It's spotlessly clean. In-house physio for those that need targeted help as well as visiting physio for those that wish to take part in seated exercise. Hairdresser comes fortnightly, chiropodist about every 8 weeks. Staff were happy for Mum to have her own bedding, chairs and ornaments from home in her room, making the transition from her own home a bit easier for her. Her clothing is washed and cared for daily. GP visits weekly and residents can be put on the list to be seen at the request of relatives as well as staff. Our mum needs 24-hour assistance. Not only could we not have provided this in her own home, we would not have been able to provide the stimulation she receives at Nicholas House. To know she is happy and in safe hands has given us peace of mind.

Our mum moved into Nicholas House in April 2023, following 3 months in another home we were not happy with. Nicholas House is great and we feel safe leaving Mum in their hands. Nice clean, bright environment, specially built for purpose. Carers and staff are really nice. Food is great, restaurant quality and I often have lunch with Mum, which I pay a small donation for. Loads of entertainment and outings. Mum gets taken to shops, garden centres and coffee a couple of times a week. Exercise classes. Physio. GP visits weekly. There’s a hairdresser who comes once a fortnight and a chiropodist. My mum is prone to falls and broke her neck, which is why she decided to go into a care home. Unfortunately, she has recently broken her hip, we couldn’t fault the care when she came out of the hospital. Especially so as they have their own physio meaning she could leave the hospital as soon as possible. We’ve seen people arrive unable to walk and a couple of weeks later they’re walking with a frame.

Whilst this is dated December 2022 it relates to the period May to December 2022. Mother went into care as she was unable to cope with single living and had become withdrawn and wasn't eating properly. All the staff have been superb in their care, dedication, and encouragement that helped mother regain weight and come back to being herself. They are always approachable and helpful, encouraging to residents through interactive activities, trips out etc. Unfortunately, we lost mother in Jan 2023 but during her last few months of her life she was happy and this was due to everyone from the management, kitchen, cleaners, carers. and all the other support staff. I personally cannot commend this care home highly enough and have no hesitation in recommending them.

My mother went in to Nicholas house for 4 weeks to see if it suited her needs. After about 2 weeks she has decides she a wants to live there. The staff are great friendly, caring and talk to the residents like friends.

This has been an amazing experience for my father. The staff were, on the whole, very attentive, caring and considerate. The hygiene was outstanding in the home and the patients were always well presented. The catering was fantastic with lots of variety and an excellent chef who brought so much joy to the residents. The downfall was the brand new van that rarely went on outings and no replacement for the activities coordinator for months.

Nicholas House is a very caring facility. It has the resident's interest at heart. All residents are cared for in a professional manner. A wide range of activities are provided for the residents to participate in.

The dedicated team of staff from the local community are highly committed to providing excellent care to residents. Very calm, welcoming atmosphere and management, continuously improving activities and facilities. Excellent, well run, modern, purpose built home.
