Devonshire Court

Overall Experience

Devonshire Court is the most wonderful place. From the minute I contacted them about my Dad going there for some respite care we all felt so supported and life became less stressful. The staff are truly amazing, from all the wonderful care staff who always go the extra mile, to the reception, catering

and cleaning staff. Nothing has been too much trouble and their level of support with regard to sorting out meals for Dad and helping with his medicine has been amazing. One of my main things to praise is how all the staff give the residents their time and will always sit down and chat, it's lovely to see. The activities and trips on offer are also great, Dad recently went on a canal trip and had a great day. We made the decision after a few months to make Dad a permanent resident and again that has been brilliant. We are very grateful to all the staff at Devonshire Court for their wonderful care.

Overall Experience

Devonshire Court is absolutely wonderful, my husband has only been there a few weeks but already refers to it as his new Home. Settled in immediately, the relief to the family knowing he is happy and well cared for is immense.

Cannot fault the Home and the same goes for the caring staff.

Would

rate Devonshire Court with 10*s if possible.

Overall Experience

My husband has dementia. He stayed at Devonshire House for 14 days of respite care.
He was treated with dignity, and the staff did all they could to make him comfortable and safe. His bedroom was light and airy and very clean. He had his own WC and sink.
He speaks highly of all the staff and said

they were "first class"

Overall Experience

My mother was discharged from hospital following a lengthy 14 week period during which time my beloved father passed away. Mum was too ill to go to the funeral. The decision to move mum into care could not be avoided. Thankfully we chose Devonshire Court and mum's health is now improving considerably

thanks to the care being received. We no longer have to work a rota where we have to visit mum every single day like in the hospital because we know she is being well looked after. The whole family have gone through an unprecedented difficult time over the last five months, but we know our mum is being looked after in the best way possible.

from M J (Respite Resident) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When I was discharged from the hospital on 28th May, I was unable to return home and I needed to find temporary accommodation with disabled facilities due to my reduced mobility. From the moment I arrived at Devonshire Court, I was overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome I received from all of the

staff there. I was assigned a spacious and comfortable room with television and en-suite facilities and my every request was cheerfully accommodated, even to the extent of the provision of ice for my nightly dram of whisky! The food was good and varied and much more comparable to a private hotel than one's preconceived idea of care-home catering and I was even permitted to bring in my own bottle of wine to the dinner table! There was a comprehensive programme of entertainment - often accompanied by a welcome glass of sherry or a G&T - and I found the other residents pleasant and friendly. I would have no hesitation in returning to Devonshire Court myself or recommending it to others.

Review of
Devonshire Court
from Elaine M (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our father became a resident at Devonshire Court 5 1/2 years ago and passed away there in March this year. He had always known this was where he would want to be when the time came should he need assisted care, but was always reluctant to acknowledge the moment, thinking this would mark the beginning

of his decline! It could not have been more different. From day one our father thrived at Devonshire. He was treated with love, care and dignity at all times and my sister and I were grateful to know he was safe and warm and fed but most importantly happy. It takes a team led from the top to provide the client-centred care needed for all the residents. When I say team, I mean everyone who contributes to Devonshire life on a day-to-day basis, from the carers providing personal care, the catering team making fresh meals, to the housekeepers keeping everywhere clean, to the laundry, and the activities team who keep everyone occupied and make everything fun!
Thank you all!

Reply from Juliet O'Connor, Home Manager at Devonshire Court

Your kind words humble me, your father was an example to us all on how to conduct ourselves, thank you for taking the time to help others when they are facing the difficult decision when choosing a care home. The team at Devonshire Court

from Tom H (Son of Resident) published on 5 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother came to Devonshire Court initially for a few weeks respite care while she recovered from a heart attack. She then suffered a second heart attack which led to her becoming a permanent resident. There then followed a series of more attacks and finally a stroke. She was a resident from September

to February and during that time she received excellent loving care from an attentive staff, in a clean and warm room. Nothing was too much trouble and her family were welcomed and given free reign to make hot drinks in the kitchen while spending many hours with Mother. We especially loved the free ice creams that Mum, the grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoyed from the freezer in reception. Such a little thing meant so much.
Brilliant is not too big a word to use in my review.

My mum was having falls and was diagnosed with dementia, so as a family, we chose Devonshire Court to keep her safe. She was only there a short time but the staff were excellent and very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The home itself is lovely and clean with activities on every day for the

residents. I would highly recommend this home. If Mum had to go back into a care home would definitely choose Devonshire Court again.

Review of
Devonshire Court
from David L (Nephew of Resident) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

As a family, we needed to move my uncle into a care home in Leicestershire, and as a district nurse I immediately looked for care homes rated excellent by the CQC, of which Devonshire Court is only one of two. From my first contact with the care home, I could see that person-centred care was an ethos

that ran throughout the home. My uncle's needs were understood and despite not being a Mason he was accepted as a resident. Throughout his relatively short stay of just a few months before he died, he was cared for by staff who truly understood person-centred care. He was treated with dignity and was always clean and shaved as if he could have still cared for himself. I can only say thank you to every member of the care team and administration team who made this time so much easier than it might have been elsewhere. I would have no hesitation in recommending Devonshire Court to others looking for a truly caring place for their family members.

The environment is welcoming with many lovely extras. Pets that live here and visiting dogs made welcome too. The hospitality offered to visiting family and friends makes for frequent returns. Ice cream very welcome. All carers good but some show true vocation. I can rest knowing Mum is as safe as can

be. They go out of their way to supply all her requests.

Overall Experience

The staff at Devonshire Court are carers in the truest sense.
My Mother lived there for the last few months of her life having been an independent lady living in her own home until a few months after her 99th Birthday.

The detail and consideration put into making her feel secure and the acknowledgement

of who she was as a person is phenomenal. Her dignity and identity were respected and the attention and love she was shown during a challenging part of her life was humbling to witness. I am forever indebted to all the staff. Thank you

Reply from Juliet O'Connor, Home Manager at Devonshire Court

Thank you for this lovely review, especially appreciated at such a difficult time. This means so much to me. This is always what we strive to achieve – giving the best care to our residents and peace of mind to their families. Please be assured I will share your feedback with my team as I know they will be as touched by it as I am.

My mum has been a resident in Devonshire Court for four years. The staff are very good. My mum is always well looked after.
I feel that communication is lacking between myself and either management and senior staff.
Some of the rooms need a deep clean, redecoration and new furniture.
The activities

are excellent.

from Dean M (Son of Resident) published on 12 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad moved to Devonshire Court last August. He is absolutely 100% in the best home possible. I am really impressed with it and I can only reiterate a lot of what has been said in other reviews. The staff are very kind and caring and are obviously dedicated to providing the best quality of care and

well-being for each and every resident. My dad is a joker and loves the banter he has with all of his carers, it makes his day. To me, everybody treats the residents like they are their own family.
The home itself is large, excellently maintained and provides many facilities which are sadly lacking in most care homes. There is a hairdresser, cinema, large entertainment lounge and the bedrooms are nice and big and it is very clean throughout.
Activities provided are many and varied, all well planned and thought out to give maximum enjoyment to all participants.
Obviously, I would have no hesitation in recommending Devonshire Court!

from Richard B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 13 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Incredibly impressed with Devonshire Court Care Home.
Mother-in-law has just taken up permanent residency and the staff and team could not have been more helpful throughout the process.
Everyone we encountered from the management team, nursing care team, entertainment team, facilities and cleaning

teams have been really great and very friendly.
It has put our minds at rest to know that she is in the hands of wonderfully dedicated staff whose priority is purely the residents well being and quality of life.
The home itself is very large and really well maintained. There is a hairdressers, cinema, large entertainment lounge and the bedrooms seem very nicely appointed and clean.
The weekly activity list is very comprehensive with regular trips to the theatre, shops and garden centres, when the weather improves.
Thanks to Devonshire Court for all your help and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone reading this review.
