    I feel my mum is much happier since being at The Haven for 15 months.
    All the staff give 100%.

    Susan C (Daughter of resident)

    During my parents stay at The Haven I was very reassured to know that they were receiving excellent care and attention from all the staff who I felt had the best interests of my parents at heart. All the staff showed genuine warmth and compassion when dealing with my parents at a very difficult time. The whole family felt welcome when visiting which was a comfort during this difficult period of our lives.

    David S (Son of residents)

    My husband was very happy enough at The Haven. All the staff were very kind and considerate to him. He found the food ok but never hot enough, always just warm. Overall the staff went out of their way to make his stay pleasant.

    LM (Wife of resident)

    My mother who has dementia is a resident at The Haven Droitwich. This is a very local care home specialising in dementia care and is the prefect fit for my mother’s needs.
    The home is small enough to give a very personal service to my mother and family. Dementia brings many problems with care and the owner, manger and staff are excellent.
