Review of
Cheaney Court Care Home
from Anne Y (Wife of Resident) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My husband moved to Cheaney Court from a care home in Wellingborough and he couldn't have gone to a better place. He calls it his home and although he tends to have a troubled mind he's very attached to 'Cheaney' and often wants to be reassured that he is in 'Cheaney'. The staff are all vigilant over

the residents and are constantly watching that they are safe. They often sit next to a resident for a quick chat if they have a moment to spare and it's a delight to see an old face light up because they've been given attention. They are approachable, as is the manager and deputy manager and will always give time to listen to any queries from visitors. He is dressed in clean clothes daily. The food is nutritious and fresh and each plate is individually named to ensure each person has their own appropriate meal and plate size. I have no worries. My husband, after being in four care homes due to unfortunate circumstances, is now in the best. An excellent care home .

Review of
The Lakes
from Jan B (Wife of Resident) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My husband has been a resident at The Lakes since May and we find all staff very, very caring towards him and right from the start helped him to settle in as easily as possible not an easy task due to his blindness..
The Management and Admin staff need a lot of praise for the smooth running of 'the

ship' with Carers, Housekeeping, Food & Drink plus Social Host all playing their part in making a very professionally run environment for the residents. Thank You

from Denise W (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad had been at Cheaney Court since September last year. Unfortunately my dad passed away on the 15.06.25. From when my dad went into Cheaney Court until he passed away the care that was provided was outstanding, even after he had passed away he was still treated with the upmost respect. The manager

is very approachable, listens to families & shows empathy. The nurses are fantastic at their jobs, they don't just care they really care! Listening to my dad's wishes as well as the family. The staff are amazing, always friendly & welcoming. It felt I wasn't just visiting my dad but going to his home & seeing friends. I know my dad felt happy & safe there, he never complained, said that staff do a fantastic job & that one staff member in particular goes above & beyond, would listen to what dad liked & wanted, organised was his words.
All the staff need recognition for what they do every day, in my eyes they are all angels!
I'm glad dad got to spend his last few months at Cheaney Court.

Overall Experience

Dad has settled in really well, a true home from home. All the staff are wonderful, nothing is ever too much trouble. The food is great. Dad enjoys the organised activities and socialising with others, and he loves the singing afternoons. His medical needs are well managed. I am always kept informed

about how Dad is doing, which gives me peace of mind. Thank you for everything!

Our Mother was a resident at Cheaney Court for almost three years.
In that time her care was exceptional!
The team led by a professional manager worked extremely hard to provide a safe, kind and welcoming environment for both residents and visitors alike. My family do not hesitate to thank the whole

team for their care and efficiency in making our Mother's final days comfortable and safe.

The staff are all very caring, attentive and friendly and strive to do the best for my mum each and every day, whatever that brings. Her being looked after here has given our family all great comfort and peace of mind. She is now end-of-life and is being looked after with dignity and respect and everything

has been explained and as a whole family we have been looked after sympathetically. I would like to thank each and everyone involved in her care. Keep doing what you are doing, you are all fantastic.

My mum has been at The Lakes for a year now.
The staff are all amazing. Everyone is so kind and so friendly. We feel very welcome when we visit and it feels like mum's new home.
We feel that she is safe and cared for but can retain what independence she has.
She enjoys the food and the activities,

especially the singing and loves being able to get out into the garden.

Review of
Cheaney Court Care Home
from Jenny B (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A huge thank you to all the staff at Cheaney Court for an excellent, well-run home. My dad was a resident here for nearly a year. The staff were wonderful and warm and caring. I used to visit regularly, the home was always clean, the staff were all familiar faces and treated the residents kindly with

warmth and humour. You could regularly hear laughter in the corridors and everyone managed to stay cheerful and positive, even under trying situations. It is hard to move a parent to a home, necessary this time for health reasons, but Cheaney Court made it easy and gave regular updates. Dad sadly passed away in October, and this was treated with kindness and compassion. Thank you all again.
