Overall sentiment in the reviews for Notice Residential Care Home is strongly positive, with multiple reviewers praising the quality of hands-on care, cleanliness, and the personal attention residents receive. Staff are repeatedly described as kind, respectful, patient, intelligent, attentive, and caring. Several reviewers emphasized that caregivers provide one-on-one attention, help with eating, manage medications reliably, and perform grooming services (hair, nails, makeup). The home-like feel and smaller size are mentioned as major strengths, with families appreciating that the environment feels more personal and less institutional than larger facilities.
Cleanliness and the physical environment are consistently highlighted. Reviewers used phrases like "super clean," "never smelt bad," and "well-kept interior," and many noted private rooms and well-kept residents. Services that come without extra fees—particularly laundry—are singled out positively. Dining and socialization also receive favorable comments: reviewers mentioned good food and social opportunities, although the scale and type of activities are not described in detail. Management, and specifically the owner Natalie, is frequently commended as outstanding, responsive, and caring. These comments suggest strong leadership that families notice and appreciate.
There is a clear pattern around the resident population and fit. Several reviews state that the home tends to house largely non-ambulatory residents who require high levels of assistance. That concentration of higher-acuity residents is a double-edged finding: it is framed positively by families seeking intensive, attentive care and a calm environment, but it also makes the home less suitable for very active or more independent seniors. Multiple reviewers explicitly said it is "not ideal for active residents" or "not the right fit," reflecting the importance of matching prospective residents' mobility and social needs to the home's population and programming.
Most operational and service-related observations are favorable: medication management, grooming, laundry, private rooms, and general organization are praised. A small number of reviews raise concerns that families should consider carefully. There are complaints about the refund policy and a suggestion to pro-rate the last month, indicating at least one family wanted more flexible financial handling at the end of care. One reviewer reported a missing wedding ring and another reported a serious negative event — a resident death after payment — paired with an allegation of a dismissive staff attitude; these are isolated but significant complaints that would warrant direct inquiry during touring and contracting. Cost perceptions vary: multiple reviewers called the home affordable and a good value, while at least one review described the cost as high.
In summary, Notice Residential Care Home appears to deliver compassionate, attentive, and well-managed care in a clean, home-like environment, especially for residents who require substantial assistance. Strengths include personalized care, grooming services, included laundry, private rooms, good food, and praised management. Important considerations for prospective families are fit and resident mix (largely non-ambulatory/high-care residents), the small size (which limits scope but enhances personalization), the facility's financial/refund policies, and the need to ask directly about incident handling and lost property procedures. Families seeking intensive, personalized care in a quieter, smaller setting are likely to find Notice Residential Care Home a strong option; those seeking an active, amenity-rich environment for more independent seniors should consider whether this setting matches their loved one’s needs.
