"My mother-in-law has been a resident for the last three years eight months. Unfortunately we don't feel she has been as content over the last six months or so. Any problems we have seem to be a nuisance. Getting a light to work in her bathroom has taken weeks. She has had a fall, is this a result of lack of lighting in the bathroom! she doesn't like the new food regime as we have heard from other residents. We want her to be happy and content."

"I was very well looked after and only have one criticism which was minor. I think that it would be better if the heavy duvet which I appreciate was used for appearance, could be replaced at some time with a lightweight cover which would be equally attractive but more practical."

"Came here for respite care and, as I am on my own and was recovering from a broken hip, decided to stay. Never thought I would want to be in a home but have been pleasantly surprised. It is not perfect but everyone is kind and thoughtful. The building is very nice and lovely gardens. I think it would be difficult to find a better place."

"Crabwall was home to my mother-in-law for 4 1/2 years until her recent death. She was safe and happy here. Staff looked after her with care, humour and dignity. Even as her health deteriorated she was encouraged to be involved in daily life within the home. Whenever we visited we were made to feel very welcome. Any queries we had were dealt with quickly, effectively and sympathetically. Throughout the last days of her life, she was made to feel cherished. She was monitored so carefully that we knew she was receiving the best possible care."

"My sister has been with you a number of years. She has been looked after, both medically and personally so well that it was always a joy to visit her. We live many miles away in Oxfordshire but she was always ready and dressed beautifully when we arrived and her wellbeing shone through. Everyone on the staff was so pleased to see us and looked after us."

"My mother was staying at Crabwall Hall for respite care. She settled in extremely well and was encouraged to socialise which she did and made a few friends and she really enjoyed her stay. The staff were extremely kind, patient and professional and I felt extremely confident that mum would be safe, very well cared for and happy."

"I am always very impressed by the warm welcome I get when visiting my mother-in-law; every member of staff (and a good few residents) that I pass have the time to smile and say hello. I would like to praise the activities staff in particular, who know the residents really well through their 'one-to-one' meetings and work hard to ensure residents' interests are met and encourage participation in the many varied activities."

"In all the time my mother has been at Crabwall Hall Care Home, I have found the home, staff, residents and residents family members very caring. There is always a lovely atmosphere when visiting and staff are very approachable and understanding when we have any concerns regarding my mother. We always receive feedback when needed. I would highly recommend this home to friends. I can ring anytime, day or night, and always get a warm response. My mother loves being here, she is really settled. Thank you to all staff."

"It was with some tribulation that I first entered Crabwall Hall Care Home as a resident, my first and only experience of this sort of facility. I wouldn't have been concerned; I found myself in a comfortable, ensuite accommodation which was quiet with a pleasant view overlooking the garden. The staff and other residents are very friendly and helpful - first names used throughout. Breakfasts are on trays and all other meals come in the comfortable dining room, adjacent to the cafe lounge. There is a large TV, supplementing the smaller units found in personal accommodation. This is a very friendly and comfortable place to be, which I return to frequently."

This is an outstandingly good care home, well managed, fully staffed and with excellent food. The daily programs of activities are varied and my wife feels she is away on holiday.

"An extremely pleasant, warm, approachable home setting in a fantastic rural situation but so close to the city centre and amenities. Staff, from the moment of entering the building are very welcoming and extremely helpful and appear enthusiastic to be working here. The atmosphere and characteristics of the home are delightful and homely, doesn't resemble a typical care home. My resident has settled nicely and like other residents is very well taken care of, always appears well kept and healthy. There are never any complaints, only if a meal is not liked."

"A long established and well located care home just outside Chester in very pleasant grounds. The home is well managed and staffed by competent and pleasant personnel. The food is good and the provision of activities for residents comprehensive for those wishing to participate. Car parking is plentiful. The home is not exactly cheap but it competitive against others in the area."

"I have visited Crabwall Hall on a number of occasions and always found the staff (to a person) polite, friendly, positive and supportive both to my aunt and to the other residents. The hall is clean and tidy and feels very welcoming. My own mother spent her last five years in a care home although it was not as good as yours. Well done to all, we all appreciate your hard work and care."

"I and my father and our family have been well pleased with the care and support given to him since he first came here in August 2015. The management and staff as a whole are very caring, kind and friendly. They go that extra mile to ensure that my dad is happy and ok. They are very watchful for his health and wellbeing and make sure all is well with him. They always inform me if he is unwell and have always called in the doctor when needed."

"I have visited several care homes and been a resident in two. I required respite care for two weeks and from my visit here I chose Crabwall Hall. It came up to all my expectations so much so that I am staying on for another week. The staff are consistently cheerful and always willing to help, I was particularly impressed by the entertainments and activities, which gave mental and physical stimulation most days of the week."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Crabwall Hall - the staff were wonderful with my mother and it is more of a hotel environment than a care home. It is very well managed in every respect, the rooms are clean and well furnished, as are the communal areas. My mother enjoyed the food and the activities, and her state of health improved dramatically in the two weeks she spent at Crabwall. I cannot recommend it highly enough and would definitely use it for respite care in the future."

"My aunt has been a resident for 5 months and has lots of help from staff during settling in period. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and every member of staff is always friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, problems and worries my aunt has had have been dealt with immediately and sympathetically, especially when she had problems using her phone. Someone was always available to help. Calls to the office with questions were welcomed and problems resolved promptly. Facilities are excellent, clean and well maintained. When visiting we are always offered drinks. There are activities provided every day which are well organised. We were present for two a choir and visiting people who brought animals.

"My mother was in this home for a couple of months respite last year. The home was beautiful - wonderful friendly staff, activities, trips, and beautiful gardens. She has now decided she can no longer cope at home - aged 96!- so has moved in here permanently. My brother and I had absolutely no hesitation in putting her in here as we know she will be well looked after. The staff remembered her and welcomed her with open arms."

"My mother became a resident here following a serious illness. I have nothing but praise for all the staff who treated my mum with great care and dignity. I was kept fully informed of her condition and any changes, and whenever I rang there was always someone to talk to. As I do not live near the home this was very important to me. Sadly, my mother passed away recently, but again the staff could not have been more compassionate. I highly recommend this home."

"My Father in law has been a resident of Crabwall Hall Mollington, he was made very welcome from the beginning. He had amazing care right to the end, the staff were friendly, approachable, very patient and hard working. My Father in laws daily saying was "he had no complaints about living here" which was of great comfort to the family. He had a good appetite and always enjoyed the food, and of course the freshly baked cakes. I would highly recommend Crabwall Hall, many thanks to the manager and all her hard working team for making a difficult situation for all of us pleasant."

"This review refers to my wife who is having several weeks "convalescence" at the care home. It has been written with her input and she agrees with what has been written. She is 82 and rather frail. She has enjoyed exceptional personal care and medical supervision during her stay; The staff of the house called our family doctor promptly to ensure my wife's treatment was appropriate and could not have been more attentive. The atmosphere is supportive and cheerful and she is receiving exemplary care."
