The dedicated and experienced team at Snowdrop House will provide your loved one with care that is completely tailored to their individual needs and wishes.

My favourite part of the working day is motivating the staff to ensure the residents are their main focus of the day, creating memorable moments, laughter and joy. My biggest professional challenge so far has been saving a person's life and then continue to watch them grow and flourish.

What others have to say

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

They are quick to talk to us as a family and interact with us, and if they feel we need to know about something or they have any concerns about our loved one, they call right away. They are so approachable and very responsive to what is going on with the residents in the home. We always feel we are an important part of everything. I have every confidence in them.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff are so considerate and caring in their work. The way they speak to my loved one when they give her personal care is lovely. She changed rooms recently and the way they handled the whole move to make her feel comfortable was amazing, not just pushing her from one room to another, they kept asking her how she feels about the room, making it an event rather than just a move.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Whenever we are there, everyone is very polite, warm and welcoming, even the cleaning staff say hello and give us a smile. The carers really care for the residents, you can tell. My loved one is a difficult woman and has dementia, she gives them the run around and they seem to like her still. Always with patience, always with dignity, always with a smile.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The care given by the staff and the activitites provided are very good.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

No complaints. Everyone is nice and has very good care.
