What others have to say

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

The manager is hands on, she’s always out and about chatting with the team, residents and visitors, even at weekends and in the evenings. She goes above and beyond to sort stuff out, she’s always been very understanding and supportive of our situation. I visit often and I know the team quite well now. Everyone there is lovely and they all get along with each other, which makes the place feel really comfortable as a visitor. They are always chatting with the residents and they communicate well with each other about how the residents are doing. They take brilliant care of my loved one, they take an interest in her all the time.

Relative of a resident, April 2026

My loved one has dementia and her care needs are significant at this stage. The management have been fantastic with communication as her condition progressed and they continue to include me in monthly reviews of her care plan and contact me with any concerns, no matter how minor. The team are highly experienced in dementia care and they create an encouraging and positive atmosphere for the residents and their families.
