Stapha’s view

A well-run residential and dementia home with a noticeably stable team. The dementia training is more thorough than most homes this size and the management style is hands-on without being micromanaging. Staff retention at 82% is comfortably above sector average — the reviews reflect a team that feels seen and heard. A solid choice if consistency and a warm culture matter to you.

One thing we’re proud of

Every member of our care team has completed our specialist 12-week dementia programme — not just the mandatory modules.

Staff reviews

Activities Coordinator·3 years

I've stayed this long because the culture is genuinely warm. We're well staffed compared to other homes I've worked in, which makes a real difference to care quality.

Care Assistant·8 months

Good induction and buddying when I started. Dementia training is thorough. Would be nice to see better break facilities but overall a solid place to work.

Senior Care Assistant·2 years

The team here genuinely cares about residents and each other. Management are approachable and actually listen when you raise concerns. Shift patterns are predictable which makes family life easier.

Manager response

Thank you — approachability from our leadership team is something we work hard to maintain.
