I cannot speak highly enough of Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home. It is a truly beautiful residential home with wonderfully caring staff who go above and beyond every single day. Since my 91 year old mother arrived at the end of January this year, her health has improved immeasurably. The support
from the carers, combined with the nutritious, home-cooked meals prepared by their brilliant five-star rated chefs has made such a positive difference to her wellbeing.
The whole team is exceptional, and it's clear how much they genuinely care. Tracey, Karan, Angela, and Precious are just a few of the amazing individuals who look after my mum with such kindness and dedication. Lynsey and Vicky have also been outstanding, helping me navigate what could have been a very difficult transition from independent living to residential care with ease and reassurance. For the first time in many years, I am able to relax, knowing my mum is receiving the very best care she could have ever wished for
Reply from Vicki Foster, Deputy Manager at Barchester Cookridge Court Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave a review, its fantastic to hear about your Mums positive experience at Cookridge Court and its a absolute pleasure to take care of her.

Visited yesterday afternoon with a friend to visit a mutual friend we have known for over 80 years. I have much experience of care homes & was immediately impressed by the welcome at Spen Court Heckmondwike.
Everything appeared to be run with care & consistent.
Keep it up.

It is a great relief and pleasure to me that my wife is in such a well-run, caring environment and that I am welcome to see her at any sensible time. She is very happy, and knows neither she nor I could provide for her needs without expert care. Whenever she has needed to leave the home for a hospital
appointment or a family event that can be organised for us. The only slight weakness is that the lounge is not a sensible shape and size, but there's nothing the carers can do about that.

The staff were welcoming and made us quickly feel at home as my husband began his week's respite at Cookridge Court. He enjoyed the activities and commented on how nice the meals were. I enjoyed having lunch with him on one occassion too.
His room was clean and comfortable - he had a lovely garden
view and appreciated that.
Our only concern was that unfortunately when we arrived home after his stay, another resident's night medication was in my husband's boxes too. I had to drive back with it.

My wife Valerie (Val) is a long term sufferer with Parkinsons Disease - it was becoming difficult to cope at home and a bad fall in June 2024 resulting in a broken femur and other falls following resulted in an agreed decision to seek care. We have been very pleased and this has resulted in a degree
of independence and mutual benefit.

My mum has been staying at Cookridge court now for just over 2 weeks.
She is settled and the staff are absolutely amazing. They have made her feel at home with their friendly attitude and the care she has received has been excellent.
I am forever grateful that my mum is getting the care she needs.
I highly recommend Cookridge court.
Thank you all.

My mother in law moved into Cookridge Court recently and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she is getting.
The setting is really pleasant and the staff are easy to talk to and very willing to help.
The care she is getting is second to none and it's relieved the family's stress around trying
to keep her safe
Thank you all at Cookridge Court.

Mum was a resident from October 2024. From day 1 she was made welcome and treated with dignity & respect. Nothing was too much for the carers, if Mum wanted something they would go above & beyond to accomodate her needs.
All Mums visitors were welcomed, made to feel at home and addressed by their first
names.
We as a family had no worries about leaving her in the care of Spen Court.
Reply from General Manager, GM at Barchester Spen Court Care HomeThank You David for your lovely review and we really do appreciate the positive feedback that I will relay to all the team at Spen Court.

I was a resident of 'Spen Court Care Home' for 3 weeks.
I found the management and staff to be very helpfull & friendly. My room was well equipped and nice and warm.
Food was adequate and I received my medication correctly.
I would recommend this care home to others.

Well i really would like to say we have found a real gem with my dad's care home.
From the moment I walked in and had a look around I felt the atmosphere was perfect.
My dad is a bit of a loner which seemed to put me on edge but to be honest being in Cookridge court care home my mind is at ease.
I would like to thank you all for the care and respect you have for your elderly.
My dad seems so settled and of course seems to be enjoying some of the male company.
Big thank you to all.

Mum has poor mobility and depends on carers to take her to the toilet. She asked two carers the other day in the lounge to take her to the toilet. Both ignored her so she consequently wet herself.
Same on nights.. carers do not answer the call bell when mum needs the toilet.. so she ends up wetting
the bed.
Staff can't be bothered dressing her properly. Found her today in a thin jumper. No underwear underneath.
Pay £1,320 a week for this treatment.

Find my entire visits to the home to be very pleasant. Staff have always been professional and polite to me at all times - also very happy and fun. When the situation arises - (eases & relaxes)
Everytime I visit I help myself to a coffee and cake - no complaints about either.
