My mum has been at Forest Dene for 8 years now. The staff are so caring and attentive and the home is always clean and fresh. I spend a lot of time there with my mother and see first hand how hard the carers work and how they go the extra mile to keep everyone happy (which as I know is not always easy). My family have always been extremely happy with the care given to my mum, particularly over the last couple of years due to covid where we were kept fully informed and the residence well-being was paramount to the care team.

My mum, who is 96, has been in Forest Dene for just over 7 years with Dementia & has always been treated very well. Her dementia is now very advanced & the care staff are still doing everything they can to keep mum comfortable & look after her with compassion. Everyone who works at Forest Dene is friendly, my experience is that the residents are treated with courtesy & respect. Any medical problems that may arise are very quickly dealt with, for example a few years ago mum was taken ill very suddenly & if the care staff had not acted as quickly as they did mum would probably not have survived. Some of the care staff have been at the home for many years, therefore know the residents & their families very well. Yes the building is old but over the last few years a lot of work has been carried out there, including updating all the bathrooms & I believe that this is ongoing. I have not personally witnessed any neglect issues at the home either with mum or any other residents.

Forest Dene is a fantastic care home with friendly caring staff. My wife has been a resident there for more than two years and I have always felt confident that she would receive the best attention and care possible. Many of the carers have been there at least since Ive known the place with staff turnover seeming to be low. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the gardens pleasant. I highly recommend Forest Dene as a home for your loved ones.
