This was a last minute booking. Immediately upon walking in, I could see that this is a happy, homely place. All the staff I came in touch with were lovely. The food looked fabulous, which would make my dad happy. It is clean, comfortable and run by kind, caring staff. Will definitely use again. The

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a lovely, homely, and well-maintained care home surrounded by beautiful gardens. The staff are so welcoming and the management of the home is excellent. My Mum has advanced dementia, but she seems content, is very well cared for, and enjoys her food! She clearly likes the staff, who work hard
to make her feel comfortable and included. I really appreciate the relatives' meetings to keep us informed, and an excellent training session run by the Activities Manager to better understand dementia. I love the way that Saxonwood encourages other groups from the Battle community to engage with the residents - such as a very enjoyable intergenerational art session with local playgroup, primary and secondary school children held recently. Communal areas have recently been redecorated to a high standard, and the layout of the bright, comfortable lounge thoughtfully redesigned to facilitate a range of activities, rest and conversation. I am very happy that Mum is living at Saxonwood.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I would like to say that during my visit staff were very kind, attentive, friendly and engaging at all times, with all Residents as well as us. The surroundings are comfortable, very clean ( but there was one toilet without a light functioning that could have been marked as out of action, rather than
allow Residents to get halfway in before we discovered this!) We were told the maintenance person was off this week, and were waiting for their return. Staff were very warm and friendly with us, ensuring we had drinks being a very hot day as well as the Residents, and when we asked for support with our family member were available immediately ( Thank you Gill) and interacted with dignity and respect, gaining consent at all times. It was a great shame that afternoon tea did not come with the same lovely treats as our relative is gluten free, just a dry old biscuit and no choice with that, it was all that was on offer. Other Residents had a choice of homemade cakes, so sad to see.

from Paul B (Son of Resident) published on 20 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother( who has been a resident in Saxonwood for almost thirteen years) recently celebrated her 100th birthday. I had originally booked a local restaurant for a gathering of family and friends, but the venue cancelled this a week later. As it transpired, this was highly fortuitous, because the team
at Saxonwood stepped in and accommodated us all.
The level of service and quality of food were beyond what we would have otherwise received and the care and attention lavished upon us all was incomparable.
Every member of staff, whatever their role, made everyone feel so welcome, for which I am eternally grateful.
Special thanks to chef and her brigade!

A lovely sunny and warm weekend in the lounge, visiting Saturday afternoon and Sunday Morning, he was quite relaxed and content. The afternoon visit was more laid back, chatting a little with the resident, then several of the others and one other visitor. Things picked up with tea and dinner, so I left
to go and cook mine. Sunday ... and he was deep in the observer... and a hot chocolate. The county life and history magazines were welcomed but more important matters no dust prevailed! It was time for lunch and he was hungry and so was I a little peckish, so away to cook my own lunch after a good visit.

Mum has been with Oakwood Court since July 2023. (She has now moved on due to extra nursing needs.)
