What people say about Abbot
My Mum spent the last several months of her life at Abbot Care Home, after being placed there for End of Life care. I cannot thank the staff enough, my mum knew she was loved and cared for by the staff, I would visit daily and I saw the relationships built between my mum and all the staff ( and I mean all the staff) from the carers, nurses, domestics, managers, activities staff. She was happy and always had a smile for them or a little nickname, nothing was too much trouble. Sadly we lost Mum in May this year, but when other charities or company's say they are there for you, but they aren't it is different with Abbot Care Home, we the family still matter, they check to see how we are doing. If you are looking for a care home for long term care or respite, from my experience I would fully recommend them and the people who work there.

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the amazing care and kindness shown to my nan at Abbott care home. From the moment she moved in, she has been so happy, and as a family, it’s such a relief to see her so well cared for and content. A special shoutout to the incredible team on Mallards and the wonderful activities team—you all bring so much joy to the residents, and your dedication does not go unnoticed. The staff are truly special people, they are so compassionate and caring. always going above and beyond to make sure every resident feels valued and comfortable. There are not enough words to explain how amazing you all are. Thank you for everything you do!

I became a resident at Abbot Care Home 9 months ago. Prior to coming here, I was in another home which was awful. When I knew I was coming here, I was dreading it in case it was the same. It couldn’t be more different. It is welcoming from the moment you come in. The carers are professional, helpful, caring, respectful, friendly & have a great sense of humour. Family & friends are made to feel welcome & I cannot give them enough thanks & praise. I love living in Abbot
