Ivydene Care Home

Joyce, has been at Ivydene for just under a year. She moved from another home as they did not have the facility to look after her properly and we count ourselves extremely fortunate that Ivydene took her in. They have shown to be a first class care home provider, with staff who are not only professional but friendly, helpful, caring and welcoming, so different from her last home. Joyce can be challenging at the best of times but the care for her here has been admirable. We have nothing but praise and admiration for all the staff at Ivydene. Well done and carry on the good work. Jennifer Reed (daughter)

My father has been a resident at Ivydene since March 23. We are absolutely delighted. Dad gets on very well with all the staff who are incredibly caring, compassionate and professional without exception. Dad loves the food of which there is a huge variety and good portion sizes. He has just moved into one of the newly refurbished rooms complete with brand new bed, TV and furniture etc. and he’s very happy with it. It was no problem getting his Sky box up and running so he can watch all the sport his heart desires. We are constantly encouraged by staff to give feedback, good, bad or ugly and on the very rare occasion we’ve needed something changing it’s been dealt with promptly and professionally without making anyone feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. We cannot recommend Ivydene highly enough! I can’t possibly single out any member of staff as they are all angels!! I know Dad is safe and happy, which makes my life much easier. Thank you Ivydene xx

My husband has been a resident here for 18 months. He has advanced alzheimer's and other homes found him difficult to manage. Not so Ivydene. He is happy and settled. He is getting the best care possible and the staff have become a family to him and also to me.

My father-in-law spent the last two and a half years at Ivydene Nursing Home and we cannot praise it there more highly. He felt like he was living in a 5* hotel, rather than a home. The staff were so kind, super helpful and so patient with him when his condition made him a little demanding. The activities were excellent and we are sure this kept him more mentally alert as his vascular dementia had caused him to deteriorate before he went there. We would recommend Ivydene to anyone needing the best of care.
