What others have to say

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

The staff on the dementia unit go above and beyond. They do everything they can, nothing is a problem for them.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

The staff do things like celebrating birthdays, they put balloons in the rooms and make people feel special for the day. They also do lots of activities to keep residents entertained.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

The care is excellent, mum is happy there and so much better than when she first went in - she is more settled. If anything happens they call me straight away and let me know if anything needs to be done.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

To all the team who cared for my Grandpa Harry Thynne, thank you for the love, attention and patience. It was a huge relief to us that he was in such good hands. All our love, Gina, Issy and family.

Family of resident, October 2021
