Shaftesbury Court has a wonderful environment for its residents to enjoy and a team who are devoted to enriching their residents’ lives.
Providing residential care, the team also offer respite care breaks, which can be booked in advance. These are perfect for carers looking after loved ones at home, who need a short break themselves, with the peace of mind of knowing their relative is in safe hands and being well cared for.
The apartment-style bedrooms at Shaftesbury Court are stunning – spacious and beautifully decorated, they have ensuite wet rooms, kitchenettes, lounges and even a small dining area. They are a lovely space to enjoy spending time alone with family and friends, who are welcome at any time. There are also double suites for couples and many of the bedrooms overlook the gardens.
There are welcoming lounges, where residents enjoy so many activities, from baking, arts and crafts and spending time with visiting school children, to gentle exercise sessions and pet therapy. The home also has a hair salon for pamper sessions and regular appointments with the mobile hairdresser.
Residents enjoy delicious home-cooked meals every day, prepared by the home’s chef. From roast dinners with all the trimmings, to fish and chip Fridays and lighter bites like freshly-made soups and pies. And there is home-baking every day for afternoon tea.
The enormous gardens are a real highlight, with vast lawns, a water feature, harbour-style seating, wheelchair friendly pathways and raised planters, for residents who enjoy gardening. They are a lovely place to relax in the summer and enjoy garden parties and barbecues.
But it’s the team, many of whom have worked at Shaftesbury Court for years, who make this home feel really special, creating a really warm, family feel.

Since my dad's arrival, he has been much happier, and although he is currently only a temporary resident, he is keen to remain on a permanent basis. He has not complained at all, which is very unusual! You all do a fantastic job; thank you.

Before the lockdown, everything was great for my mum. We spent our first Xmas together, and then no more due to Covid restrictions. The home is well-run.

Thank you for your kind words about our home and team - we do hope we can welcome you back to Shaftesbury Court properly soon. Best wishes.
I'm very happy with the way my mum is looked after. Mum always appears clean and tidy, her room the same. The activities are good. In general, I'm happy with the way my mum is looked after.

An elderly relative was a resident in this care home. She was taken into hospital where on the fourth day, she passed away. I notified the care home on the same day.

An elderly relative was a resident in this care home. She was taken into hospital where on the fourth day, she passed away. I notified the care home on the same day. The care home fees were up to date. I now received an invoice from the care home for a fee of 4 days, £628.57, dated from AFTER her death. I queried it and the reply was “a contractual 3 days charged after death”. I was shocked to hear that. It seems a very heartless and cold way to charge extra after someone dies. On the contract, it says “fees will continue to be charged at the daily rate until the room has been cleared of all personal belongings”. But I would challenge anyone who would prioritise clearing personal belongings from the care home soon after a close relative’s death. And I was never told to clear the room ASAP or charges would be incurred. In these days of lockdown, how could the room be cleared after a death? I have no problem with the staff who were friendly/helpful. I am disgusted with the contract.
Thank you all for your care, love and thoughtfulness looking after Mum as you did. What a fantastic team of wonderful people you are. You should all be so proud of the job you do. You certainly helped myself and my family through many hard times with patience and support. We cannot thank you all...

You certainly helped myself and my family through many hard times with patience and support. We cannot thank you all enough and Mum really loved each and every one of you.
Thank you for such lovely feedback. I will be sure to pass this onto the manager and the team. Best wishes.
My mother is extremely pleased with the care she receives. She doesn't have a bad word to say about Shaftesbury Court and all the carers who work there. They take good care of her and it's a great relief to me that I know she is well looked after.

My husband, although sometimes difficult, was treated with care and respect whatever his needs. All his needs were treated with dignity and kindness.

My mother is very well looked after. I visit at least twice per week to see all is well. Most of the staff are caring and attentive to my mother's needs. There has been a change of management recently which has caused a few issues with the staff. The residents don't seem to have been affected.

Wonderful staff . A comfortable caring place to live. My father was a resident from Jan 2016 until Nov 2017 and not once was there a concern. I am confident he was happy and very well cared for. Nicely decorated and furnished rooms where you can add your own personal homely touches. Lovely meals...
Wonderful staff . A comfortable caring place to live. My father was a resident from Jan 2016 until Nov 2017 and not once was there a concern. I am confident he was happy and very well cared for. Nicely decorated and furnished rooms where you can add your own personal homely touches. Lovely meals and drinks provided. A nice safely enclosed garden is available. My dad had his favourite staff and I'd like to thank them and all the ladies for the care and warmth they showed my dad. I recommend this home and it's wonderful staff.

Laundry is done, there are coffee, tea, sugar, fresh milk and biscuits in your kitchen. Meal is delicious, my aunt mentioned.
Although it is a care home and never can be compared with the own home, it has a real nice appearance. Could not find a better place for my aunt. I am pleased to know that she is in a safe place. Thanks to the manager and all the staff for the good care, also helping me with entry and all things around. Regards

On behalf of my brother and sister we would like to say the following:
Our dad lived at the care home for the past 12 years and was extremely happy. Over the past few months since his illness and subsequent death last Thursday we cannot praise, and thank, the staff enough for all they have done for him and for the love and kindness in the way they cared for him. Even though his death has left us devastated we know it has also affected the staff and it is lovely to know that they will miss him also.
Thank you from the bottom of our broken hearts.
All the staff are wonderful caring people who work tirelessly to make the residents comfortable and feel at home.
