Testimonials
"My Mother, who has dementia, has been at Delamer for 15 months. During that time she has always been treated with kindness and respect. Both she and her room are very clean and there are always activities in the lounge if she wants to join in. There is always a choice of food at each meal and the residents have a cake on their birthday. Visitors are welcomed any time and any concerns are quickly dealt with by staff. We are very happy to have chosen such a lovely place for my Mother to live." (Nicola, Resident's daughter, May 2018)
"My brother and I will be forever grateful that my mum spent her final 3 years in Delamer House. Every time I visited her she would praise the staff and I could see she was happy and contented. The staff were friendly and attentive to my mum. They would pop in frequently to see her with cups of tea and biscuits and would always stop for a chat with her. The human contact and kindness was of the highest importance to my mum's quality of life. The room was bright and cheerful and the food was varied and of good quality. Thank you guys!". (Resident's family, Nov 2016)
"Following a fall in 2014 my mother spent around three months in respite care at Delamer before returning home. However, no longer managing on her own she returned to Delamer House as a full time resident later that year and has now been there nearly two years. In that time she has received the utmost care, the staff are always happy, engaging and caring. The manageress is brilliant and goes out of her way to keep the residents happy with events, often dressing the home for the occasion in imaginative ways for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors. The facilities are very good and the choice and quality of meals excellent." (Val, Resident's daughter, Sep 16)
