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 is in beautiful accommodation and the team provide round the clock care for her. She is very old now and she requires full nursing care, but they still encourage her to take short walks with a frame and make use of her remaining capacities. She’s in good company, they care about her and they chat with her about her life. It’s a good place for her to be.

Relative of a resident, April 2026

They work well as a team and because the team functions well, everyone is generally happy in their work, which filters through to the residents. They value the residents and the care is very much person-centred. Everything I have experienced has been reassuring. Even in making a mistake, they proved they could be trusted, they missed a dose of medication and called me immediately to explain what had happened and how they will ensure it doesn't happen again.

Relative of a resident, April 2026

The home itself is clean, fresh and well maintained, and the care my loved one receives is excellent. The team has developed a lovely relationship with her. Her face lights up when they come in, and I can see they genuinely care about her. They understand that I'm not able to visit as often as I would like, so we are in regular contact by telephone, and I'm always consulted if any changes need to be made. I'm involved with monthly reviews too and they take my input very seriously. If I mention anything I'd like to see improved it's dealt with immediately.

Relative of a resident, December 2025

My loved one is very happy there, and she is getting the care that she needs. She has dementia and significant mobility issues and the team thoroughly understand her limitations and her care needs. They are kind, friendly people. They listen to what she has to say and they treat her respectfully. They cater to her preferences whenever they can and they make her life so much more comfortable and enjoyable than I imagined possible at this stage of her life.

Relative of a resident, December 2025

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.
