What others say about Appleby Care Home

Appleby Care Home

Austin P (Son of Resident)

"Despite initial concerns about my mother 'going into a home' from the very first contact with the wonderful staff at Appleby Care Home, we knew that we had made the right choice; the best choice for both my mother and for the family. Mother's care has been exceptionally good for her 6 months stay and was outstanding as she drew closer to the end of her life. The staff are all competent, empathetic and friendly - without exception. This applies to the managers we met, the nursing staff, administrators, the carers, domestics and handyman. Each and every person was prepared to listen, share advice, understand and be positive about my mother's care. I cannot recollect a single concern where I felt my mother's needs were not being addressed and satisfied. The family consider ourselves to be very lucky to have found such a magnificent team of people who make Appleby Care Home such a wonderful place to place our trust in. We are very grateful for the collective effort in looking after our mother and feel confident in submitting this very positive review."

Jenifer C (Daughter of Resident)

"Mam has been a resident here for 15 months and the care she has received has been outstanding - loved and cared for. I have nothing but praise for the whole team. They do an amazing job always putting the residents first and treating them as part of their families. Mam is settled in a happy, comfortable home. Any worries we have are dealt with promptly and efficiently. Staff don't just care for mam but us as well. Well done everyone can't thank you enough."

Clare C (Daughter of Resident)

"Mum has been a resident for over two years and receives excellent care. All the staff are caring, efficient and friendly and go above and beyond to make her comfortable. There is a very warm and homely atmosphere and the staff are very patient with the demands of dementia. The Home is very clean and Mums room is always clean and tidy. The food is plentiful and excellent. Mum is always clean and well dressed. The Admin team are very friendly and efficient and always willing to help. Every time I visit I am made to feel part of a large caring family and I am so grateful I chose this Home for Mum."

We strive to provide care of the highest quality for the elderly on a permanent or respite basis, in lovely comfortable surroundings. Our team of experienced professionals constantly undergo training to provide outstanding care and support to all residents.

Our philosophy is simple; we want everyone to enjoy life to the full. We never forget that all our residents are individuals and we treat them with dignity, privacy and respect while offering freedom of choice and as much independence as possible.

Friends and family are welcome at any time. Hot drinks and snacks are always available and guests are invited to share a meal with residents. Our cook prepares three nutritious meals a day and the menu changes regularly to reflect seasonal produce. Special diets are catered for.
Residents have freedom to choose what to do and when. There is plenty going and our activities coordinator puts together a full programme which is adapted to suit the needs and wishes of our residents. Activities include quizzes, sing-alongs, reminiscence therapy, indoor games, art and craft, baking and wherever possible, trips out and about.
