Testimonials

  • The family have peace of mind

    “My aunt became a resident of St Armands Court in December last year. She was welcomed by all the staff and easily settled into her new home. Her care and attention have been excellent. The management and staff treat her with respect and affection, and they patiently care for her needs. She appreciates their hard work. The family are happy where she is and have peace of mind she is well cared for. The management and staff are truly a dedicated team and nothing is too much trouble for them.”

    – Ann C, niece of resident (August 2019)

  • Friendliness, care, and support

    “The overriding factor for the choice of this home was the friendliness, care, and support from the staff. They are approachable at all times if the family have any concerns, and we are satisfied Mum is looked after in a safe and caring environment.”

    – S.B., daughter of resident (June 2019)

  • "St Armands Court is excellent, they are all very helpful, kind and understanding to the residents and families. The home is well-run, and I feel happy knowing Mum is safe and well."

    - P B, Daughter of Resident/Service User (independently reviewed by Carehome.co.uk)

  • "My mum in law has now been a resident for around six weeks after deciding she felt unsafe and lonely in her own home, having fallen a few times. Her health wasn't good, and she struggled with self-care and medication. Since she has been at St Armands, she has started to feel better, and her health has improved. Whenever we visit, we are met with friendly staff who make us feel welcome. There are activities happening often, and residents seem happy to be included. As relatives, it's great to see our family members being involved. She is very sociable so needs this. She recently went out on a group trip to a theatre production, which was a fantastic opportunity for her. I have visited occasionally at lunchtime, and the meals look appetising and nutritious, and our family member always has a drink offered as well. We feel reassured that our family member is well cared for and is settling in well., they are all very helpful, kind and understanding to the residents and families. The home is well-run, and I feel happy knowing Mum is safe and well."

    - Liz D, Daughter-in-law of Resident/Service User (independently reviewed by Carehome.co.uk)

  • "Since my mum has moved into St Armands, she has been 100% better than when she went in. The care they have given her has been very good, and all the staff are excellent. If they are worried about anything medical, the doctor is soon called out and seen to."

    - C C, Daughter of Resident/Service User (independently reviewed by Carehome.co.uk)

    - Carl C, Son of Resident/Service User (independently reviewed by Carehome.co.uk)

  • "Over 14-years of visiting my resident contact (service user), I have experienced a very satisfactory and considerate overall satisfaction of the treatment and care of duty my friend is being given. Contact can easily be made with the home, and should I be informed of any problems, this is done in a quick and sympathetic way."

    Meet the Owner

    Harvey Zemmel, owner of Garforth Residential, has 30 years’ experience as an advisor, operator and financier in care of the elderly.

    Over the past three decades in healthcare, he has helped to raise the standard and quality of service in elderly care facilities across the UK. It remains his goal to this day.

    He has personally been involved in projects involving scores of care homes, with many hundreds of beds and hundreds of staff.

    Between 1997 and 2007, he also built a residential care home group from scratch to operating nine homes with hundreds of residents and staff.

    harvey Zemmel

    Care and customer service always come first.

    He believes that nowhere is this ethic more important than in the care of our elderly family members—but it is where some larger organizations struggle.

    In both of the homes that came under his management in Garforth in 2018, Harvey has built teams that reflect his own values of care, where the needs of residents are foremost.

    He considers this as the only way to provide the individual in care with quality of life and the family with peace of mind.
