My uncle moved to his new home at The Stratfords at the end of 2021. We have been delighted with the level of care he has received so far, made all the better by the great team who work there. The level of communication between the 'home' and me has been excellent so I feel included in the support that he is receiving.

Confidence Comes From Real Experiences
The experiences of our residents and their families offers the clearest insight into everyday life at The Stratfords. Discover what people have shared about the care, companionship and peace of mind they’ve found here.
“The decision to move my father into a care home was so difficult, as it is for anyone who has had to deal with this huge step. The care team were so welcoming and attentive. He has a very comfortable bedroom and is able to sit with the other residents in the pleasant lounge. Although he is generally a private and quiet man, he has enjoyed the activities and outings. He has access to the small garden area as he loves to sit in the sun. I am able to easily visit and take him out for a walk along the High Street and along the river. He recently had a birthday and the team made the day so special for him and the vittles’ and cake were splendid. All in all, a lovely home with truly such a caring team.”

“We had to find a home for Mum pretty quickly. As soon as we walked through the door of The Stratfords we knew it was the right place for Mum. The staff all came and introduced themselves and were so welcoming. Brought Mum over two days later and straightaway she loved it – all the girls on duty came and said Hello and were so kind to us all. But they don’t just look after Mum – they are there for me any time I need them. Always happy to chat and talk me through what’s happening – apologies to them if I’m a nuisance but all this is new to me! I honestly cannot believe how lucky we were to find The Stratfords – somebody up there was obviously looking down on me the day I made the call. So to everyone at the home – I say a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart – you are simply the best.”

“I live in Edinburgh and have come down to see my 86-year-old sister in the care home several times over the last year and have phoned her most nights too over the last year. She is happy to live in the Stratfords. The carers treat her with humanity and cheerfully, as an individual. The home is clean and serves a choice of diverse, good-quality meals. She appreciates very much living in her care home environment. I too appreciate all the good factors from the home environment that make her life happy.”
