Our activities

The spacious luxurious accommodation with its beautiful and secure landscape gardens were just perfect.

Donald, Son of Resident, Kirk Lane
What a feeling to know that Mum stays in a place that is so well organised with a great atmosphere and many, many caring people.

Elaine, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
The staff are extremely caring and so friendly and I know Mum is in very safe hands and is very well looked after. Little touches make all the difference.

Gill, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
Gran is fully accommodated for, and everything from her personal needs to her health and wellbeing is looked after. The chef even makes food to order for the residents which is fabulous for people such as my gran who are quite specific about the food they eat and how things are cooked.

Granddaughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
Uncle is always well dressed in matching outfits and clothes are very well laundered.

Niece of Resident, Kirk Lane
I have waited nearly 4 months to submit my review so that I can give an honest review of my experience. I spent a lot of time researching and visiting numerous homes as I wanted to find the right place for my mum who has advanced dementia. Initially, I was a little apprehensive as the home was relatively new so there was little feedback/reviews to read so I visited twice to view the facilities and on both occasions was made to feel very welcome. 4 months on and I am absolutely convinced Kirk Lane was the right decision for Mum, myself and our family. The staff are extremely caring and so friendly and I know Mum is in very safe hands and is very well looked after. Little touches make all the difference – Mum’s first great-grandchild was born at Xmas and unbeknown to us until we visited, a staff member had a photo of the baby printed out and framed and placed by Mum’s bed so she could see him – we were so touched by that. Mum is properly cared for in a wonderful caring environment.

Gill, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
I now have both my parents in this wonderful home. The staff are amazing. The manager is wonderful. I have never met someone so suited to their job. He always takes time with the residents, stops and chats to them every time he passes and goes all out to do what he can for them. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Wonderful nursing home.

Sharon, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
My aunt moved into Kirk Lane in December 2021. The whole family were delighted with the quality of facilities and impressed by the decor and amenities of this new build facility. My aunt was delighted to have an en-suite shower room, which allows her some independence with bathing and the quality of fixtures and fittings is second to none. Underfloor heating and fluffy towels are a lovely touch. The staff are all delightful and very upbeat and positive people who clearly enjoy working at Kirk Lane. My aunt was assured from the outset that Kirk Lane was to be her home and everyone has made sure she feels absolutely at home there. There are so many positives to mention – movie nights, delicious home baking, barbecues, daily exercise classes and regular bus outings are a few of the noteworthy extra touches that make Kirk Lane really feel like a home. The management are superb and offer families regular opportunities to engage with Randolph Hill and welcome feedback. We are delighted!

Lee, Niece of Resident, Kirk Lane
Choosing a nursing home for my father was a bit of a daunting experience, as we hadn’t had to do anything like this before, however, as soon as I visited Kirk Lane Nursing Home, it just felt right. The building is new and both the interior and exterior are immaculate. The rooms are spacious and well equipped, with lovely en-suite facilities in every room. The secure enclosed gardens offer facilities to enjoy a BBQ or just to sit enjoying the surroundings and fresh air. Great facilities are good and well, however, the calibre of staff is the main thing which makes this home outstanding. All the staff are so friendly and engaging, both with residents and visitors. Having the ability to visit at any time means that it wouldn’t be possible to project a front just at visiting time. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone looking for a home from home for their loved ones.

Sam, Son of Resident, Kirk Lane
My Mum has been a resident of Kirk Lane since March 2022. The staff are amazing and very supportive of both my Mum and me! Nothing is too much bother and visitors are always made to feel so welcome. I feel very relieved to have my Mum cared for in such a lovely environment.

Sandra, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
I have found Kirk Lane Nursing Home to be the best in the area. I was looking for a home for my mum last year and was so glad to find this home. The management and staff have been so good with Mum and she has settled well. Couldn’t be happier with the care.

Sandra, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
My husband has just enjoyed a week in Kirk Lane Nursing Home, so that I could have a respite week. The care home itself, is absolutely beautiful and I would describe the staff members in the same way. Very beautiful carers, dedicated to looking after the residents to make them feel comfortable and safe. I would highly recommend Kirk Lane to anyone looking for a break from their caring role and I would feel reassured of excellent care, if my husband could be there full-time.

Carol, Wife of Resident, Kirk Lane
I was in respite recently and found everyone very helpful. The manager checked in with me regularly as did all his staff. They couldn’t have been more helpful and I appreciated the level of dignity and respect they afforded me. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. A very pleasant place to stay.

Robert, Respite Resident, Kirk Lane
My mum moved to Kirk Lane Home a few months ago and it has made such a massive difference to her quality of life. The home itself is absolutely lovely with a very homely feel and several small dining rooms and lounges for each floor rather than large canteen style dining. My mum’s bedroom is lovely with comfy bed and ensuite bathroom. From the moment you walk in everyone is so friendly and helpful and full of fun and nothing is a bother to them. I often visit with my young children and they are always made to feel welcome too and given snacks and drinks to make them feel at home. The activities and trips are brilliant, so much effort goes in to them and my mum has been kept busy and stimulated since she moved in. My mum has dementia and I feel guilty all the time that I’m not doing more for her, but it’s such a huge relief to know she’s now safe, happy, well cared for and with people around her to laugh and interact with. It has made such a huge difference to both our lives. Thank you Kirk Lane.

Caroline, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
I would like to say that since Mum came here in September last year, she has loved every minute. My sister and I feel so much better that Mum is getting such wonderful care, from wonderful people. Thank you all.

Caroline, Daughter of Resident, Kirk Lane
Wonderful home with an excellent level of care. The activity program here is wonderful with many varied levels for all resident’s capabilities. The rooms are well-equipped to meet the individual needs. The carers within the home are so nice and Mum adores them. They go over and above for the residents. Day trips are offered most weeks for those wanting a day out. There are often entertainment days with singers etc, which the residents love. BBQ’s are a thing Mum loves and this happens often. Overall, excellent place.
