Dad has Alzheimer's, so continuity of care is very important for him. There has been no staff turnover in the six months he has been here. I have peace of mind knowing he is safe and well cared for. All the staff, from the manager to the cleaner, have been very supportive of me as well as Dad. I have had some difficult decisions to make and they have supported me at every turn.Hilary DDaughter of a resident
My Dad was in Stronvar for just over a year. It is very homely and the team are always very warm and caring to all the residents. The home is extremely clean and well presented. I would recommend Stronvar to anyone considering a home for someone.Jen RDaughter of a resident
Stronvar welcomed Mum for respite at first and then as a permanent resident. She was not sure about going into a care home, and neither was I. However, all the staff love Mum as though she were one of their own. Her dietary requirements were fully catered for and she thrived while living there.Tina TDaughter of a resident
Stronvar is an excellent care home. All the carers and managers are extremely kind and caring. They endeavour to provide as many activities as possible within the interests and abilities of the residents. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting a personal, intimate and caring environment for their loved one.Julie EDaughter of a resident

What to look for in any home's reviews
Who wrote them
Reviews from a resident's son, daughter or partner carry the most weight. They have seen the home on bad days as well as open days.
What they keep mentioning
If every review of a home talks about the staff by name, the staff are the strength. If they talk about the decor, ask yourself why.
Whether the home replies
A home that answers criticism plainly is a home that will answer you plainly. Read the less glowing reviews as carefully as the best ones.
Comparing several homes? Our guide to choosing a care home has the questions worth asking all of them.
Then come and judge for yourself
Reviews tell you what other families found. A visit tells you what you will find. Come and meet Peter and the team, and see an ordinary afternoon here.
