Reviews

"This care home is outstanding. My Nan has been there for seven and a half years and recently passed away, and all I can say about the staff and facilities are outstanding. I cannot recommend and speak highly enough about this home. The staff become family. The care that was given was exactly what we, as a family wanted. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

"My mum was in Saltwood for over five months recuperating from a stroke, and we cannot fault the care and respect that she received. The food was amazing, with homemade goodies. The staff were brilliant, and the entertainment could not be faulted."

"My mother was at this nursing home for the year before her death. She was totally bed-bound, and over the last 12 months of her life, she gradually lost her voice and the use of one arm. My family visited at various times of the day and on different days of the week. The care home was excellent in their care of Mum. I wish I had known that Mum could need nursing care when I had picked a care home a couple of years ago, as it would have been better for her to go to the nursing home in the first place and not be moved here later. Thank you, Saltwood Care Centre, you have been brilliant!"
