It was very stressful living there for her. The carers were amazing but some did question us why she was put on this floor?
I enquired about moving her downstairs so she could have access to the garden but I was told there were no rooms available. There was a lock on the lift so she couldn't leave her floor unless I was there! . Not enough care staff to help, all overworked

On every visit I always find the staff to be very friendly, kind and helpful. My mother is cared for very well at the home and I feel that they genuinely care for her. She regularly goes on trips out which she enjoys very much. Mum seems to be happy there.

Just wanted to write a little word about how happy my mother is in this beautiful, clean home. She is actually thriving thanks to the staff and manager. So just want to share how happy we are of finding this home. Many thanks.

Our mother has been a resident of Kathryn Court for nearly a year now. When looking at other homes Kathryn Court was our first choice. The staff are always very welcoming, the home spotlessly clean and always plenty of activities for the residents to do. With the help of the management and staff our mother has settled in really well and she is enjoying it too! This review was agreed by all four daughters.

I don't think my Dad could have picked a better care home for my Mum, very welcoming. The home is always spotless. Great management and care staff!

The staff appears to be more settled and content. My mum's care has improved and if I mention an issue it has been dealt with immediately.
She gas drinks and her juice beaker is there with her all the time now. All the staff are documenting what type of stool she's passing.
She is walking to her wheelchair instead of just turning around into it.

I visited my friend several times a week. My visits were frequent but short. I found the staff and the general environment to be pleasant and adequate, sometimes his table was sticky but any attempt by him to eat or drink would result in spillage. Expecting constant and immediate cleaning would be unrealistic. Would I be pleased to spend my final days at Kathryn Court? Yes, I would.
Thank you for leaving us a review, I'm pleased you found the environment to be pleasant and that you would recommend Kathryn Court.

Hi, I’m Donna, the Home Manager at Kathryn Court. I’ve been a proud member of the team since March 26, 2007, and I’ve cherished every moment of my 19 years here. My role allows me to encourage residents to continue being their authentic selves and to listen to their incredible life stories, which is a truly rewarding experience.
Building strong relationships with residents and their families is at the heart of what I do, and I’m passionate about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and connected.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring my creative side through crafts and photography. I also love delving into family history, uncovering stories from the past that connect generations.
