My wife has Dementia and I am no longer capable of caring for her at home.
We have a friend who had first-hand experience of the New Wycliffe Home and highly recommended it therefore, based on her view, we (myself and daughter) visited the home and jointly decided that it is our first choice. Initially, it was only for a one-month respite care but after comments on visits by her friends and relatives and our own visits, we decided to make it long-term.
My wife is more settled in her own self and appears to be less fraught/stressed than she was living with me at home.

My mother moved into the Home for an initial assessment period of four weeks in September 2022. She is now a permanent resident.
We were aware of the strong reputation of the home previously as a distant family member had been a resident a few years ago.
We have not been disappointed – the home itself is both warm and welcoming and having met many of the staff during the last three months they have been fabulous with Mum and all the family members who have visited. They are passionate about the support they provide and the culture within the home and the value base of the team are both refreshing. The management team clearly lead by example and have found the time to help us as a family manage what is always a challenging transition period for all concerned.
Most importantly – they have provided peace of mind to Dad who has both personal trust and confidence in the home itself and the team within. As a family – we would like to thank all the staff for their ongoing support and encouragement.

We came in to recce the home for a week’s respite for my mum who is partially sighted and not very mobile.
From the minute we walked in we knew this wasn’t a care home – it was a caring home from home.
The manager was just lovely, engaging, informative and trustworthy.
He spent over an hour with us there was no hard sell, no rush and we came away feeling uplifted about the care, beautiful surroundings, menus etc.
