St Edith's Court

from Michelle H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Grandmother lives in this lovely care home and is looked after, with the upmost care and dignity. The staff are very caring and are fabulous at providing activities for all to partake in, if they so wish. The home is warm and friendly, and the garden is immaculate and such a beautiful area for all
residents to enjoy.
Everyone truly cares, and willing to support in every way.

I visited a friend last week the home as always was spotless and smelt lovely and fresh. Staff are always friendly and caring and I am always welcomed with a smile and a chat which is so nice. My friend was in the garden having a cup of tea and biscuits with some other residents and I was made a coffee
and we all sat and chatted. The home manager popped in the garden to see us all I must say she is always approachable caring and the residents think the same. The garden is well maintained and I look forward to many more visits during the summer time.

After three months I feel that Mum is safe and well cared for. All the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. Mum has the same feeling about the staff. The accommodation is in good order and Mum has a cosy and comfortable room. After a major change from independent living I think Mum is settled
and basically happy. I would recommend the home to anyone. The staff make it a good home to live in.

Blackbrook House

from Jan M (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are very friendly and kind and try their best to look after my mother. Unfortunately, she is becoming very frail and does need more attention because she is unable to help herself.
Her frustration does turn into negativity, but given her disabilities, this is not surprising.

My Auntie has been a resident in Blackbrook House for over two years. I am so impressed with the care she is given-it's like she is surrounded by family. From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted with a smile and the people (I won't use the word staff) are so warm and friendly. I already
class them as friends.The activities they provide are amazing and it's a pleasure to join in.
Blackbrooke House is a benchmark for other care homes so thank you to everyone.

All the staff are lovely and cant do enough for the residents. They have a range of activities that residents can take part in, should they wish. When interacting with my grandmother they are kind and thoughtful. Nothing is too much trouble. When we arrive they are always happy to update us. The staff
treat all their residents with dignity. It is clear that the staff enjoy their work and care for those who are with them.

Blackbrook House. The care my friend receives from all of the staff, this includes every single person who works there, is exemplary. She has always been a very social person, and it is still in her, even though she has problems with her memory. The staff are always smiling and extremely helpful
if needed. They include her in the activities, she sometimes is not sure if she want to go, then she loves joining in.

Blackbrook House

from Rachel V (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved into Blackbrook December 2025. She'd been struggling for some time, especially since my dad died, and was having increasing problems with her memory. She couldn't cope at home any longer. Within 2 weeks of moving into Blackbrook, she was a different person - happy, relaxed, content and
making friends. Emily and her team have been amazing! They are the loveliest, most caring team I could have wished for. They treat the residents like family, with kindness and smiles, helping my mum and others to feel 'at home', safe, and cared for. Nothing is too much for the team. They make me feel welcome and reassured every time I visit too. Blackbrook itself is incredibly clean, lovely lounges, bright & fresh. The outside courtyard is beautiful. My mum's room is lovely. We have been able to put pictures up & decorate with personal items too. Thank you again to Emily the Team Leader, for your amazing energy, and your experience enabling my mum to feel like Blackbrook is her 'home' :-)

Blackbrook House

from Laureen W (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother wanted to go to respite when she left hospital, so my husband and I looked at several establishments before settling on Blackbrook House. When we arrived having arranged to view, from the moment we walked through the front door the atmosphere was that of relaxed efficiency . The building is
bright and airy, the colour scheme restful. We were shown round by Joanne, viewing the available rooms. The more we saw the more it became clear that Blackbrook House was the one. Decision made. my mother moved in a few days later. She is 98 years old still living independently before admission to hospital. She has settled in well, due in large part to the efficiency and friendliness of all the staff. We feel that she now feels, Blackbrook House to be 'home' and we hope that she will decide that this environment is one she likes and that she will decide to become a permanent resident, a decision we would fully support.
We recommend Blackbrook House to anyone seeking care for a loved one.

I cannot praise St Edith court enough - my mum stayed with them for respite for 3 months whilst repairs were being done at her house following a leak. She was treated with respect, dignity and cared for 24/7. The home is welcoming and spotlessly clean, it really is a home from home. All the staff were
friendly and professional and went over and above to meet my mums needs, even picking her recliner chair up from her house and returning when she went home. Thank you for all you did for my mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience of seeing my mother in law cared for and looked after 24/7 is a weight of my mind. She is safe, happy and integrates into the care home activities which we have witnessed and she seems very happy. She is a social lady who benefits from company and stimulation.
Eating collectively has
been amazing for her and she loves her food and has gained weight.
My husband and I are so glad we made the decision to place her in Blackbrook and we can rest easy that she is getting all her needs met.

Blackbrook House

from Phil H (Son of Resident) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I originally visited 5 care homes around the Colchester district to see the facilities and suitability for my fathers needs. I choose 2 to show him, with Blackbrook being my preference but did not tell my father. After the visits with him, he choose Blackbrook. From my initial visit and for every visit
subsequent all the staff were welcoming and helpful, nothing ever seemed to be a problem. Its fair to say my father probably wasn't the easiest resident the home or staff had experienced, but regardless never a word of complaint, all they did was support, adapt and help. My father was treated with a huge level of respect and provided his dignity too, right through to his last days. On that occasion the support for me was fantastic too. Thank you to everyone for your help and support to my family. Clearly good management comes from the top and that is clear to see at Blackbrook.

St Edith's Court

from Tania C (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at St Edith's for just over 2.5 years. We chose St Edith's as it is a small friendly home with the advantage of a huge garden.
The staff are compassionate, caring and sensitive to the residents needs. My mother was recently admitted to hospital and returned to the home in a very
frail state. The staff have nursed her back to health and she is back to her old self.
The home has had some recent management issues but this has now been resolved. I am confident that my mother is safe and well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
St Edith's Court is a beautiful care home and has a great reputation in the local area. Over the past couple of months, I have seen significant changes for the better, since the new Home Manager has been in post. As soon as you walk through the door, you can feel warmth from everyone. The staff have
always been caring but there now seems to be a "buzz" within the team and they are happier and have more morale. The environment has changed for the better and all residents seem happy and engagement has really improved. St Edith's is a very special place, with a team that truly give fabulous care. The Management Team are so supportive and professional. Carry on doing what you are doing, St Edith's! Lovely care home.
