The care is excellent. The carers are organised, attentive and unfailingly friendly, with a warmth and helpfulness that feels entirely genuine. They know Grannie, they notice things, and they treat her with kindness and dignity. She has made her room completely her own, surrounded by the photographs and possessions of her life.
The activities programme is full, imaginative and run, but perhaps the great unsung success is the building itself. Arranged around two central courtyard gardens, it is light, spacious and exceptionally well designed, with quiet rooms, communal areas and a media room. There is air, greenery and light everywhere; it never feels institutional.
Icknield Court is calm without being sleepy, busy without being chaotic, and extremely well run. Most importantly, Grannie is happy there.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review L S. We're delighted to hear that the dedication of our team has continued to impress you throughout your Grannie's time at Icknield Court. Your kind words mean a great deal to the whole team, and we're so pleased to know that your Grannie feels happy and at home. We'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with the team.
Mum moved into Icknield Court about 9 months ago. This was a stressful time for all but it was impossible to provide the care and safety mum needed at home. The staff at Icknield Court were excellent in caring for mum and putting us at our ease. Mum quickly acclimatised to the new environment...
From a "client" perspective the management has always been effective but the new manager (Michael) has already made some positive improvements. Communication improvement is particularly noticeable and this is of benefit to residents, staff and family members.
The environment is always clean, staff genuinely care and take the time, where they can, to go that extra mile. Additionally there are core staff members who provide consistency and are great role models for newer staff. This in my view makes a big difference both to the residents and to staff morale.
Thanks Icknield Team - you are doing a great job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear that your mum received such a warm welcome and has settled in so well. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team.
My mother joined Icknield court 12 weeks ago and yes there has been a few problems. Michael became the manager a few weeks ago and since has taken over I'm so pleased and grateful. Yes he still has some issues to address but honestly he will get things sorted. Thank you Michael for everything...

I visit a lot, so see all the carers regularly - they are amazing and work so hard. They are also good with me as I am still able to be involved with Mum's care when possible. It is such an adjustment for everyone.

This is the third time for my 85-year-old husband to have respite; it is a godsend. Thank you very much. I am 84 years old. His name is Lester, and very comfortable there, and I visit every day and live only 6.7 mins away. Good security.

Very happy with mum's care. She is always clean, and all her needs are met. Her room is always clean and tidy. Some belongings disappear, some turn up again, some don't, even though they are all labelled. Mum seems happy, which is our prime concern.l

My wife has not settled in well but this is due to her condition! The staff have worked hard to welcome her and get her to join in with their residents.
