I am writing to thank you all for looking after and caring for my mother; you all treated her with such compassion and respect. She was very happy at Canford and, likewise, we were very happy she was receiving such superb care. 

Thank you all for a lovely Chinese New Year celebration lunch. Yet another bright and cheerful get together!

Thank you so much for your care and support over the last ten days.

Thank you to everyone at Canford Chase for looking after my mother so attentively. She was very happy with you.

I just wanted to thank you all for making my dad’s stay with you so enjoyable. He commented on how delicious the food was, and how lovely all the nurses and staff were. Please pass on my thanks to everyone. I would have no hesitation in recommending Canford Chase to others.

I must say having Canford Chase as my first experience of a care home has been reassuring. Everything has been near perfect for my recovery, especially the staff.

Just a note to thank you for a lovely afternoon on Saturday – we both really enjoyed it! Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved on our behalf.

On behalf of all of us at Tracy Ann House, Youth Cancer Trust thank you so much for the wonderful donation of £361 raised from your activities during the past year. The work put into the donation by your residents and the staff team is very much appreciated.

Your generous support helps us to continue the wonderful work of the charity.

Just a note to thank you all at Canford Chase for the love and care you gave our mother. She was so happy and comfortable at Canford and really enjoyed the little outings and all the events and activities. She also loved the beautiful garden – and, of course, the daily ‘jolly trolley’!

The care you all gave her was outstanding and the family is so grateful to you for the genuine love and care shown to her, and for all your kind words to us. Thank you all!

Thank you for your hard work in making Friday so successful!

We so enjoyed ourselves with my mother. Her spirits were lifted by the atmosphere – especially the music! You are an amazing team – always kind, caring and full of fun.

I am writing on behalf of our family to thank everyone at Canford Chase for making our mum’s years with you such good ones. She was very lucky to have been living in such a beautiful and well-run home.

In our daily phone calls, she shared her life and the joy of everyday living, whether it was Sean delivering coffee and cake, or Kathy talking about Elvis impersonators, or all the care workers and nursing staff helping Mum keep her mobility, or receptionist Jenny with her curls and smiles bringing joy on every occasion, or Maria and her wonderful trips, musical bingo, piano recitals and chair waltzing, or Jenny the hairdresser who always came and found her, or the laundress who sewed buttons and helped Mum find lost items, or the gardener chatting about his work – everyone was lovely and it is impossible to mention all. Mum never once complained about the food so kudos to the chefs. You all treated Mum with dignity and respect, and on occasions, a great deal of patience.

Thank you also for linking Mum up with other residents who became her friends – Mum enjoyed talking about them, and it was lovely to hear her news.

Canford Chase is special because of all the staff, and we thank you. 

Thank you for what you have done for my father. I can confidently say that he has been very impressed by the staff – and he is, at the best of times, a very difficult person to impress.

Well done.
