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.

My loved one has never been a big eater and she can be fussy when it comes to food, but she's happy with the food in the home. There are always plenty of options and the chef will make her something special if she doesn’t fancy what's on the menu. It's a relief knowing they take such good care with the meals.

Relative of a resident, July 2025

Every week I receive an itinerary of what is happening in the home for the residents… they have a lot of entertainment going on and they encourage physical activities like yoga and fitness classes. My loved one doesn't tend to get involved much with the activities, but the team always make a point of engaging with her in other ways and bringing her out of herself.

Relative of a resident, July 2025

They are incredibly attentive to my loved one's needs, which are significant now. They are always checking to see how she is feeling and they take great care in making sure she is comfortable when they are assisting her. Everyone seems to be very well trained… they certainly know what they are doing! The standard of care is very good!
