What others have to say

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

My mother has been here a long time. The building is clean and well looked after and staff are very caring, almost cherishing, and have gone out of their way for her.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

Staff are always looking out for ways to make my relative's life easier. The team spend time engaging with her, understanding her, and be friendly with her.

Relative of a resident, April 2023

They are excellent. They are professional, attentive, good communicators, proactive, friendly. They regularly communicate via email to all the family and a know from experience that if a have questions ii can ring up anytime ad speak to somebody and get issues resolved quickly.

Relative of a resident, April 2021

I would highly recommend Snowdrop House. The staff are very friendly and professional. The entertainment team work very hard to keep you happy and entertained and the medical staff really do their best to look after anyone who needs care. It is spotlessly clean and well furnished. Anyone needing a care home for long term or short term care (like myself) would be wise to choose Snowdrop House.

Respite resident, January 2021

[Care Home Open Day] was a splendid afternoon. You looked as if you were enjoying the fun. Thank you so much for all your hard work giving pleasure not only to the residents but to their families as well. Best wishes.
