What others have to say

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

We are extremely pleased with the place. It's such a caring environment, you see it as soon as you walk in… the ladies sitting around with the carers painting their nails, staff always interracting with the residents, everyone knows everyone, it's really heartwarming. And they have wonderful entertainment, not a day goes by without something going. They put pictures up so that family members can see what their loved ones have been up to... the staff get the residents up dancing... something for everyone.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The care our loved one receives is excellent. They keep us updated with how he is doing and if they have any concerns at all they ring us right away. He has dementia and he's not the easiest to look after; they deal with him very well and he's getting on so nicely since moving to the home. He is happy and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Every time I visit, the staff are always engaged with my loved one. When he's in the hospital they always ring for updates. They make him feel welcome and part of a family, they genuinely care about him. It's a nice place for him to be, I'm absolutely sure of that.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The level of care is good. I am very satisfied with the care that she is being provided with. They inform us of any problems. Very satisfied with the level of care.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

When we go there the staff are attentive and they know everyone by name. We can't fault them at all.
