Our home is really very special indeed, we take away the stresses that caring can bring and allow families to be families again.

"The care that my Mother received whilst living at this home was fantastic. All the staff from the Manager to the Housekeeping staff were caring and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The home is run very professionally from when my Mother first arrived. My Mother enjoyed her time here - even the food! "





"When you walk into Chocolate Works Care Village, you know there is something special about it. Yes, the building is impressive, but it's not that. It's the people that work there that make it special. From the moment my parents both moved to the Chocolate Works, the staff made every effort to know them (and me) to be able to support them as best possible. My parents are both content and settled: a stark contrast to the months before they moved."





"My mother-in-law has very recently moved in for residential dementia care. From the very start of the process, we have been very impressed by every single member of staff. Even the day of actual admission went perfectly smoothly and we feel happy she is getting the best of care in a lovely home."





"My father spent the last three years living on the Minster community. The care and consideration he received was fantastic. He was very nervous for the first few months at this new chapter in his life but the staff gently ensured he was happy and knew he belonged. He loved the quizzes and learned new skills, like silk painting. It was his home and he was very happy."
