Review of
Callin Court
from K G (Resident) published on 6 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Myself and my cats moved here 18th July 2024. I have 9 cats including 4 two week old kittens. I have been bullied by those who live here and bossed by those in charge. I need help I do not get. The rules are extremely strict. The housing manager put me on the first floor. We should be on the ground

floor where 2 animals are.
The new housing manager forced the care staff to tell lies. I have Asperger's as in Autism. Methodist Homes Association do not have experience with Autism. The flats are tiny. My refrigerator is in the living room. There is no room in the kitchen. My trash and recycling are overflowing in the kitchen. The rent of £304.83 a week is not worth it. Two of the staff do not like cats. I have a letter from a doctor and an Autism Hub service to say my cats are support animals. They are my world. I have been looking for a new home from when I moved here.
I would not reccommend Callin Court to anyone

Review of
The Limes
from M M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Dad was a resident in The Limes for his last 12 months and he couldn't have been in a better place. The staff were all friendly, helpful and caring.
I did not live locally so it was a comfort to know he had carers going in each day to ensure he was up and dressed There were activities for him

to join in and meet other people, rather than being in his previous house alone most of the day. Having 24 hour staffing also meant he had assistance in any emergency at night.
Any issues with his care were flagged up immediately, and they often went above and beyond until I was able to get down to see Dad.
The Bistro meant he was able to have a hot meal each day without having to worry about cooking and I could arrange a cleaner through The Limes which meant the flat stayed clean for him. The extra cost of these and the regular daily care visit was well worth the piece of mind. It was so much easier than dealing with 3 or 4 different companies if he'd stayed in his previous house.

Review of
Fitzwarren Court
from R G (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 February 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother spent 5 very happy years at Fitzwarren Court. The flats are very comfortable and the services and facilities are very good. But it is the staff who make it exceptional. The friendship, care and compassion shown to my mother by all the staff - the care manager, the well-being team, the carers

and the bistro staff - was outstanding. She could not have been in better hands, and my brothers and I will always be truly grateful to them all.

Fitzwarren Court
from Carol L (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mum passed away while living at Fitzwarren Court Care Home. She lived there for three years and was very happy. She received quite a lot of care, especially in the last few months and weeks of her life. The staff were all amazing. They went out of their way to support my mum and her family, especially

the week before she passed.
I cannot rate them high enough. Thank you.

Review of
The Hawthorns
from Sue R (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 11 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The Hawthorns is set in a peaceful residential area of Ellesmere Port. The community lounge is a lovely bright area with doors opening onto a lovely big garden. Activities take place in the lounge on a daily basis and residents are encouraged to partake.
The flats are lovely and bright giving residents

their private space to be alone or to receive visitors.
The staff at The Hawthorns are very friendly and always go above and beyond to help residents. They always have the time to listen to concerns from relatives and residents. Carers and managers strive to provide individualised care and always update families when required.

The Hawthorns
from Roy R (Son of Resident) published on 3 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at The Hawthorns are fantastic and we are incredibly grateful for the support and care they give to our Dad constantly.
Dad loves living here. He has a lovely flat so can spend time on his own or can go to the communal lounge if he wants some company.
It's also given us as a family the

peace of mind that he is being cared for by the team here and we couldn't ask for any more.
We would recommend The Hawthorns highly to anyone.

Review of
Yew Tree & Rosewood Courts
from A J (Resident) published on 4 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

With my mother suffering with severe dementia, my husband's dementia also increasing and my arthritic spine diminished my mobility, it was too much to cope with until the social worker suggested moving to Yew Tree & Rosewood Courts. With a heavy heart, I agreed. We moved in then found a new way of life

surrounded by kind caring staff. I found our 'forever' home which meant a huge burden had been lifted from my shoulders.

Pilgrims Court
from S M (Resident) published on 12 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I moved into Pilgrims Court in September 2017, and have never regretted doing so. I am very happy to tick 'excellent' for all the ratings. The staff are competent and pleasant and supportive and encouraging, and there is a very happy atmosphere altogether - visitors are made welcome too. I feel very

blessed to be at home in such congenial surroundings for the latter part of my retirement.

Pilgrims Court
from J C (Resident) published on 11 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The staff are friendly and caring; they support the residents with the varied activities the residents run themselves. The manager has an 'open door' policy; she listens and advises. The residents are good to mix with at regular coffee mornings. The flats are small but can be made 'homely'. Food at

the bistro is home-cooked and very tasty. The overall atmosphere of Pilgrims Court is good and welcoming.

Overall Experience

Our new manager seems to have a loving, caring and homely atmosphere, which means the residents are happy and very well looked after by her wonderful staff. I have a chronic condition which strikes infrequently. This last month has been difficult, but care is in my flat rapidly if I call for help.

The Fairways Retirement Village
from S L (Respite Resident) published on 29 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Everyone made me feel welcome, I met some lovely people and would like to see them again if possible. I enjoyed the activities, which the activity coordinator organised and worked hard for everybody. I would also like to mention a certain carer who gave me his time when I needed it. All meals were delicious

and regularly offered. Staff were helpful, kind, patient and the food mostly delicious and nicely presented.

from L W (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I just want to make a general comment about the staff working there, they are so friendly and welcoming and always willing to help.
One member of staff couldn't help us enough when trying to put a picture on the wall and we asked her advice. And she gave her advice and just by saying, "It's your mum's

home", made us feel she and others who work there do care and little things like that do make a difference.
Keep up the good work.

Review of
Fitzwarren Court
from Richard H (Son of Resident) published on 18 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the way in which my Mum and Dad have settled into their flat at the complex. This has been achieved with the welcome they have received from all the staff who work at Fitzwarren House with their professionalism and friendly helpfulness shown at all times. Both my Mum and Dad are

happy in their new flat and this has made me very happy to see them happy after the big move and the distance they had to move to live here. The complex is in a very nice location and their whole experience so far has made it easy for them to feel at home in their flat. I would definitely recommend the complex to not only family and friends but anyone who asked.

Review of
Southcroft
from Wendy W (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Southcroft is a wonderful place for my 96-year-old mum. Her need for independence is both respected and encouraged, while discreet careful support is provided as needed. The staff are kind and friendly and mum is starting (she's been there for 3 months) to feel part of a family living in Southcroft.

A recent illness was dealt with swiftly and effectively and communication with me was just as it should be.

Southcroft has various activities which mum can join as she wishes. The flats are very clean and in comparison to others I've seen, spacious. They are well fitted out and provide the level of privacy and independence needed. The building itself has been described by friends as like a big hotel. Its beautifully decorated, clean and importantly doesn't have that 'care home' smell! :-)

Mum tells me the bistro food is good.

All in all the decision to move mum into Southcroft was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Highly recommended.

Review of
The Maples
from Winifred C (Resident) published on 18 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The Maples is a complex of 50 apartments, one, two bed and Studios.
First impressions are very important and The Maples does not disappoint. The ground floor includes the large foyer, lounge, dining area and flats.
Furnishings throughout are really nice.
As one gets older and might be living alone,

nice surroundings, security, qualified caring staff and company are precious.
Security and safety are paramount at The Maples we have our own personal alarm which puts us in touch 24/7.
The grounds are monitored by CCTV.
The Maples is flexible, you can have as much privacy and independence as you wish, good choice of meals.
Various activities are available during the week.
The Maples has a flat for families to stay at any time.
We receive visits from ministers of all religions.
At the root of our well being are good relationships, when we are good to ourselves and to one another and are blessed by everyday expressions of caring, big or small. This is certainly the case at The Maples.

from Carole R (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

All the staff working at Assisi Place are helpful, and willing to share information with me and the family when we visit our mum. The principal and concept of assisted living are ideal for elderly people. Mum is very content living at Assisi Place and gets on well with all the staff which is a great

comfort to the family. Well done everyone you’re doing a fantastic job in which can be challenging circumstances at times. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Assisi Place to anyone.
