My 84-year old aunt has been at Sibbertoft for around six months now. She had never married or had children and had always lived alone so my husband and I were very nervous about how she would take to communal living. Amazingly she absolutely loves it and says she wishes she had moved in years ago. My aunt has a lovely room with her own bathroom and her own pictures on the wall etc. She is always clean and well dressed and her hair and nails are seen to regularly. My aunt is highly educated and has made some lovely like-minded friends. She has joined an informal pre-lunch sherry group. The food is fantastic and there are many events to keep residents occupied – like visiting musicians and film nights.
I cannot praise this place highly enough. The staff are wonderful – always smiling and ready to help. It is clear that they know each of the residents very well and have a lot of genuine affection for them. The place is always very clean with fresh flowers in vases. I can drop in any time I want and am always offered a cup of tea. From what I have seen, everyone’s very specific needs are catered for respectfully, in a very discreet but thorough manner. I have total confidence in the staff and the way the place is run.
My aunt is extremely happy – and she is very exacting so that speaks volumes. Her health and well being have increased enormously since she moved in and I don’t have to worry about her in any way. Sibbertoft is a truly exceptional place!
