A massive thank you to every member of staff at Kendal Care Home, the kindness and care, often in difficult circumstances were handled so professionally. As a family we were always warmly welcomed, we were part of Kendal Care Home Family Such dignity was shown by all the staff after my father died. I highly recommend kendal Care Home.

Excellent nursing home. The staff and management are lovely and helpful. Carers are friendly and very caring, nothing too much. My mum is very well looked after unlike when she had to stay in a different care home (horrific place), which left her in bed and didn't care if she ate or not (she's diabetic), the staff never spoke. Just grunted at you. Kendal Care Home couldn't be more different. Carers really look after her and take time to talk to her. It's a massive weight off my mind, knowing she is very well cared for.

I can't express enough appreciation to Kendal Care Home for the care and dedication given to my husband. He has complex needs and nothing that is asked if the staff or nursing floor is of any bother for them. They keep me informed on all aspects, and they are a credit to the care home. Anyone considering care for a loved one, this is the best home you could consider as I have visited a few homes over the years and without a doubt this home tops the bill for choice also, all the other staff in the home are super.

It is a real pleasure to visit Kendal Care Home. From the welcome at reception to the nursing staff caring for my mother, everyone is kind, considerate, attentive and truly professional. This facility excels in every single aspect.

Such a calm and warm atmosphere where all seems so organised and under control. The staff are extremely polite and always happy to help. It feels like a truly welcoming place. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs the best care.

After struggling with having to make the difficult decision to move Dad into a care home, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want him anywhere else. The staff are so caring, not only did they quickly get up to speed with Dad, but they also made me and my family feel welcome at any time, allowed close family to come and dine with Dad and always kept me up to date with every change or need Dad has. The environment is like being welcomed into a top hotel, the rooms are a good size with en-suite facilities and Dad has never eaten so well. The in-house services, such as the entertainment team and occupational therapist, mean the residents are stimulated and entertained, this is complemented by personal services such as hairdressers and chiropodists that visit regularly. Given Dad's state of health and needs, he couldn't be in a better place. Thank you to all the staff who provide the excellent care.

Brilliant care, next door to the local hospital. Staff are very well trained with a business and care-led approach. My mum has had much more done for her than the last home. They are currently looking into 1 to 1 funded nursing care for her which I did not know about. Well done!

I visited my mum at Kendal Care Home today, along with my daughter and granddaughter. When we arrived the residents were taking part in a baking session - making jam tarts. I visit often and today was only planning a short visit, but enjoyed a couple of hours with my daughter, granddaughter, mum, the residents, and staff. The staff running the session were amazing with the residents. The session was lively and fun, and the team interacted with each person. They knew who needed help and who could manage. This made for an inclusive session where everyone was taking part. The residents were clearly enjoying themselves. There end result was lots of jam tarts which the team explained but be ready for tomorrow, to have with a cup of tea. I can't praise the manager and his team highly enough. There is always a buzz at Kendal Care Home and visiting is a pleasure. Well done to the best team at the best care home! Keep up the amazing work you do every day.

My family have been so impressed with the high-quality level of care given to my husband, whilst on palliative, and End of Life Care. We were always made to feel welcome, and over the last 18 months, the Home has indeed been our second home. The Care and devotion for my husband from all the staff, has been truly amazing and we are so grateful for making his final days so peaceful and caring. Thank you.

I must say on arriving at Kendal Care Home I was pleasantly surprised by the reception area, you would think you were walking into a first-class hotel. I was so happy to see my friend so happy in his environment. He was so pleased to tell me how wonderful the staff were, his room and meals, and could not have wished for more. I would certainly recommend the care home to my friends.

Just the loveliest most relaxed place. The staff are wonderful and all the residents seem very happy - feels like a place where "everyone knows your name". I am so glad my brother is a resident here

My friend had a degenerative condition similar to Motor Neurone Disease. She needed very high levels of help with all tasks and functions and as her speech deteriorated it became challenging to understand her. Some of her carers were exceptionally sensitive and tenacious in their efforts to understand her. The manager engaged with her on a personal level and strove to do everything in his power to make her life more bearable. Several other people - her room cleaner, her occupational therapist, the physiotherapists and the home's medical officer were warm, positive and encouraging and formed meaningful relationships with her. My friend was able to form attachments to these people and her more sensitive carers. Other carers seemed more detached and formal, giving adequate physical care but nothing more. This distressed her. The home is efficiently run. It is large but has a relaxed feel and as a visitor, I always felt welcome. My requests for help in e.g. finding a vase for flowers were always met willingly and cheerfully. I think the home succeeds as far as any large institution can, in creating a feeling of freedom and informatlity. I would certainly recommend it to friends or family members.

Really excellent. Our friend who is a resident was particularly laudatory about the food and loved the soups! On my visits, all staff were most helpful, friendly and effective. The staff all appeared to be enjoying their roles, which is excellent! Well done to all!

Our friend was well cared for. The staff were happy to answer queries, in spite of being very busy. There appeared to be lots of interaction with the clients both in the bedroom and in the lounge. Our friend was very happy with the food.

As a family we have been so delighted with the level of care that my mother-in-law has received at Kendal Care Home. The staff go way beyond their duty and are constantly thoughtful preempting every need and always cheerful with it. The home is also run incredibly well and there are so many activities laid on. Visitors are made totally welcome.

Superb! Definitely the best care home I have ever visited. All the members of staff are so kind, caring and wonderfully attentive to all the residents and in addition are incredibly welcoming to visitors at any time. The manager and the team run a care home to be truly proud of.

Kendal Care Home is a happy place! You will always see a smile on everyone's face! Our manager is happy, the residents, staff and visitors too, will always greet and welcome you! The residents' lives are lived in comfort and in pleasure, their wonderful rooms where to live in complete leisure. Their own en suite room if they prefer to shower, or a nurse will help you if you so desire. I must mention our foods that our chefs prepare! Better than any food you could find elsewhere. Our manager will talk to you if you need to discuss, you are important to him!

My dad has been in Kendal Care Home for one month. The staff are very kind and attentive and my father is comfortable and well taken care of. The food is excellent and varied. The management also takes time to listen and act on feedback.

We are so pleased that we managed to get a place for our father at Kendal Care Home. All the staff, from Management down are very approachable and appear happy in their work. This happiness then seems to spread through the home so it doesn't feel like a care home, more a luxury hotel! Nothing we ask is too much bother. When we visit it is like visiting extended family. We are always made to feel very welcome. My father has everything available to him that he could wish for, a beautiful garden, lots of space within the home, so many different activities it's impossible to list them all. The nursing staff are very caring and know the families of their residents. Can't rate Kendal Care Home and its wonderful staff highly enough. Thank you to everyone who works within the home.
