    My lovely Mum has been a resident at Forest Dene for just over two years. The home has wonderful, caring staff. They always have time for a chat whenever I visit and tell me how my Mum is doing. My Mum is always well cared for and looked after. Her room is spacious and she has a safe and secure garden to go to if she wants to. The home is very clean. This is one of the best care homes I have seen. I have visited many homes across London during my time working for the ambulance service so I have seen a plethora of examples. Forest Dene stands out as one of the best. I highly recommend this home.

    Forest Dene is a fantastic care home with friendly caring staff. My wife has been a resident there for more than two years and I have always felt confident that she would receive the best attention and care possible. Many of the carers have been there at least since I’ve known the place with staff turnover seeming to be low. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the gardens pleasant. I highly recommend Forest Dene as a home for your loved ones.

    My mum, who is 96, has been in Forest Dene for just over 7 years with Dementia & has always been treated very well. Her dementia is now very advanced & the care staff are still doing everything they can to keep mum comfortable & look after her with compassion. Everyone who works at Forest Dene is friendly, my experience is that the residents are treated with courtesy & respect. Any medical problems that may arise are very quickly dealt with, for example a few years ago mum was taken ill very suddenly & if the care staff had not acted as quickly as they did mum would probably not have survived. Some of the care staff have been at the home for many years, therefore know the residents & their families very well. Yes the building is old but over the last few years a lot of work has been carried out there, including updating all the bathrooms & I believe that this is ongoing. I have not personally witnessed any neglect issues at the home either with mum or any other residents.

    My mum has been at Forest Dene for 8 years now. The staff are so caring and attentive and the home is always clean and fresh. I spend a lot of time there with my mother and see first hand how hard the carers work and how they go the extra mile to keep everyone happy (which as I know is not always easy). My family have always been extremely happy with the care given to my mum, particularly over the last couple of years due to covid where we were kept fully informed and the residence well-being was paramount to the care team.

    Went to visit my loved uncle today at Forest Dene, what a heartbreaking visit. Devastated by the lack of care or shall I say no care. On the way back from the garden one of the residents lay across the floor whilst the carer played on her phone. Its not until we ASKED HER to help him of the floor that she came over and ASKED HIM to move, she made NO EFFORT to move the helpless man of the floor. The house itself is horrendously old and feels cold, no sense of love or safety. The whole place was horrible. The residents looked so awfully sad and unhappy. There was not a member of staff in sight. Considering the residents were sitting around the communal areas. I cant believe this establishment is actually up and running. I would never leave my loved one there. Think twice before you consider Forest Dene. I'm only giving it 1 star as I couldn't write this review without rating it. But it is a 0.

    The carer staff are committed and nice, but the food is pretty terrible during weekdays. There’s a severe lack of fresh fruit available, despite multiple requests over weeks/months. Pretty much everything seems to be made from packets/tins, with cost being the biggest factor rather than nutrition unfortunately.
