Serenity Homes

Where your loved one comes first.

Our teams do this work because they love it, and it shows in the care they give: patient, kind and built around who each person is. Every day holds something to look forward to, whether that is the garden in the morning, a proper cooked lunch or good company in the afternoon.

Serenity Homes has been Elaine's family's work for over twenty years. She looks after her teams as carefully as they look after our residents, and she keeps the training going all year round in both homes.

The care given to the residents is outstanding. The staff are always on hand, keeping an eye on the residents whether to see to their needs or to offer comfort and reassurance. They are always patient and I have never observed any worrying incidents.

Great care and professionalism and feels like a family home. A lot of effort has been made to help my parent to settle and it has been much appreciated. Staff are friendly and appear to show respect.

My elderly mother-in-law resided at the Gnoll nursing home for eight years during which she received exemplary care and love from all the staff. It really was home from home to her and she was so pleased to have found a place there. Towards the end she required intensive nursing care, and that was delivered with sensitivity and respect that was reassuring and complete .
