What Makes
A Good Care Home?
Friendly and homely atmosphere, Cleanliness, welcoming and caring staff, approachable management, transparent, honest, and open door policy.
A good care home should strive to meet the needs of as many as possible, no matter how detached they may seem. Person-centred care can only be successful if care homes recognise this importance and give their staff enough time to talk to residents, get to know them and listen to them.
When a person is happy, stimulated and loved, it is more likely that they eat and sleep well, and when they feel safe and respected, they are more likely to be accepted. How do you meet the psychological and emotional needs of a patient and how does a good nursing home respond to these needs?

Our Happy Customers
I cannot fault the staff and the care they have given my Mum. She moved in here in May. She is not able to speak up for herself. The home, after a short while, has been able to understand my Mum and anticipate her needs very well.

Daughter of Resident
The decor is dated but suits the feel of the home which is comfortable and clean. The staff, in general, are friendly, helpful, and caring. Meals look appetising and plentiful. On the whole, I am pleased with the standard of my mum's care.
