I am confident that my mother feels secure and comfortable, and despite considerable dementia, appreciates the care and contact with others that she receives.

and used it in her cooking all her life and Speedwell had the same ethos. They encouraged and facilitated her continuing to do what she loved safely. She grew vegetables there and there was even a 'cooking station' set up for her to make fresh pasta and sauce with the chefs acting as her sous chefs! Incredibly individualised and person centred care! There were events for every holiday and most week ends with games, visiting bands, even a visiting farm! My Nan was very social and loved to laugh and thoroughly enjoyed the activities but even more importantly she was cared for by the staff holistically, with kindness and respect and with her wishes at the forefront of any decisions made.

Although his stay was only short-term, I would have no concerns if he had to return full-time.
Thank you for all your help.

my mum is being very well cared for.

to get her into the shower.
As my cousin failed to recover from her operation within two weeks, we needed to extend her stay at Speedwell for a further two weeks. This was done instantly and efficiently without any problem at all.
Everyone at Speedwell was very cheerful and friendly. The care home is beautifully furnished and clean and reminded me very much of a fine hotel.
I would highly recommend Speedwell Court to anyone looking for a top of the range care home with first class care.

to all, keep up the good work!

cared for. I cannot praise Speedwell Court enough. I would recommend Speedwell Court for anyone with dementia needs.

do an excellent continuing service. Care staff deal with any problems if they occur i.e locating lost items of clothing, reassuring anxious residents, also providing some reassurance to families. Respect, care and privacy is given to everyone. Excellent home and care, everything you want for your loved one. Would be better if they had a larger facility/room area for social events as can be very tight on space.

Community lunches have been sponsored which along with community singing for residents and visiting dementia people is of great support. It allows the exchange of views and experiences. This is associated with a certain organisation. All of this gives huge relief to carers and relatives suffering alike.

share a special meal with him.
The staff are always ready to go the extra mile to make their resident's lives as pleasant as possible.

staff were sympathetic and helpful and in general, very nice individuals. On arrival in the foyer I was often met with the sound of happy residents singing along to some old favourite tunes and the activity coordinators were dedicated to providing a happy day for all. The large garden area was easily accessible and nicely maintained with chickens roaming the grounds which gave it a homely touch. The pretty cafe beside the garden area offered tea and coffee for all.
The sensitivity and care shown by staff at the end of my Mum’s life was exemplary. They treated Mum and my family with the greatest of respect and allowed us the privacy we needed at such a sad time for which I am truly grateful.
