What others have to say

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

They build relationships with the people in the home and with their families, they really make the effort to get to know everyone. They are clearly trained well in their work and it is a 'resident first' ethos among the team. I visit every day, so I'm pretty involved in my loved one's care. I feel appreciated and they do well to keep me informed. They are a good team.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

I think the care is excellent. The staff put more in than they really need to, go further than is required in the care they provide, they are very good. And not just to residents, also to the relatives who are distressed because of the condition of there loved ones. They communicate well... I can't really fault them. The way they deal with the people, always with respect and dignity, all the things you would hope for and want in a care home.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My loved one is cared for 100%. I go there quite a bit, as I also volunteer. All I see from the staff is their kindness towards the residents. The nurses and the carers seem to go above and beyond to help my loved one, and the chefs prepare meals for her with extra nutrients to help her build up her weight. The manager is always available to talk to us if we need. The manager is a great asset. I'm always happy to spend time there.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

We are really happy, the level of care is excellent and they clearly look after her.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

I am very pleased with the overall care and the friendliness at the home. They make it like a proper home. I think that the care has been exceptional.
