I have been residing at Drakelands Nursing Home since December 2005. To say it’s my home is an understatement the way the staff & Management look after me. When I came here it was a tough adjustment but in no time, I settled in because of the love & care I received.

Martha Doherty,

Resident

I have been a resident at Drakelands Nursing Home since August 2016. I just wanted to say thanks to all the staff & Management for all they do for me here because I probably don’t say it enough to them. I look forward each day to them coming into my room to help me enjoy another day. I also look forward to Breakfast each morning and there are always loads of lovely choices. I can only say how comfortable I am and all are doing a fantastic job and thanks for all you do it is greatly appreciated.

My mother has been a resident in Drakelands Nursing Home since February 2022. Although it was a difficult decision for us as a family to consider moving our mother to nursing home care. The staff in Drakelands have been wonderful in supporting my mum in this transition. Their dedication, professionalism, warmth, and good humor allows my mother to enjoy a quality of life that otherwise would not have been possible. We are delighted we chose Drakelands as it is a “home from home” and the staff at Drakelands are truly amazing.
