What families are saying

Mum finally feels at home

After moving Mum in following her dementia diagnosis, we were anxious about the change. The staff at Blackrod House made her feel so welcome from day one — we couldn't ask for more caring people.

— Sarah T.

Absolute peace of mind

Knowing Dad is safe, well-fed and genuinely happy takes a weight off the whole family. The team go above and beyond every single day, and it clearly shows in how settled he is.

— James R.

A warm and friendly community

What struck me most was how the residents look after each other. The staff foster such a lovely atmosphere — my husband has made real friendships here, which we didn't expect.

— Margaret H.

We wish we'd moved sooner

We worried the transition would be difficult, but within a week Dad was joining activities and chatting with everyone. Blackrod House truly feels like a home, not a facility.

— David P.
