I’m in my element when I’m with residents and learning more about their lives – that’s the best part of what I do.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Skylark House care home.

I often visit at mealtimes and my loved one is very satisfied with the food, she eats everything that is served to her. She lived a very high lifestyle so would eat out at expensive restaurants, she appreciates quality food. There is always an option that appeals to her and she has never once compained about the food.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The manager is just fantastic. The person at the top sets the tone for the entire home. The transformation I've seen since this woman took over as manager is notable. The staff always seem happy, always say hello with a smile, the whole atmosphere is now so friendly and welcoming, and that is in large part down to the new manager.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

They design the care around the needs of the residents, not around the needs of the home. They recognize my loved one's individual needs and respond to them. Furthermore, they keep me informed when there is something that is changing or if they notice something in her behaviour that is concerning them.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My husband has great care there. The team look after the home very well.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

The care I found for my husband is exceptional, I cant fault anything.
