What our families say about us

"I would like to thank everyone at Sheridan on behalf of my mum, for the wonderful way that she was cared for. She was treated with love and care, and was able to preserve her dignity right up until the end. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her carers, and her smile when they entered the room said it all! She told me that she was lucky to be living in such a friendly, happy and safe place."

Mrs W Healey

"My mother has had excellent care since she moved into Brandon House. We could not wish for better carers who are friendly, helpful and treat the residents with dignity. There is a good range of activities which are both physically and mentally stimulating. I could not have chosen a better home for my mother who is very happy with her care and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone else."

What our families say about us

"At the age of 100, my father made the reluctant move to Sheridan House. It has proved to be an excellent decision, as he settled in immediately thanks to the care and attention of the wonderful staff. The Home enables him to continue with his own lifestyle, meeting all his wants and needs. The family are delighted with the care and attention he is given and no longer worry about him."

"I have been at Sheridan House for almost four months. I have a generously sized room with a balcony and lovely views over the sea to Berry Head. The staff are kind, helpful, and efficient and have coped with all the problems of lockdown in an amazing way. In their care full time, they are encouraged to join in the entertaining social program which is arranged for us. Thanks to management and staff."
