We have always been treated with courtesy, interest and respect. My aunt was a resident at Kathryn Court nearly 10 years ago and was extremely well looked after and cared for even when seriously ill in the last few months of her life. Kathryn Court was the natural choice of care home for my step-father. He was kindly received and helped to settle in and is very happy with the way in which he is looked after, fed well with varied 'home-cooked' meals and always treated with respect.

The boss, in particular, is so easy to approach and her dedication goes throughout the home, throughout all the staff.

As soon as we walked in we knew this was where we wanted mum to be. The home is obviously extremely well managed and the staff highly motivated. All of the residents we meet seem content and happy. Residents every need is catered for. All of our questions and worries have been brilliantly resolved by the manager and her staff, all of whom have always been polite and gone "the extra mile" consistently. Couldn't ask for a better place for mum to be.

My mother has been a resident of Kathryn Court for 9 years and has been wonderfully looked after. Her condition is remarkable- she's 91 and has not deteriorated because the staff are so attentive, efficient and friendly. They come promptly when she rings, her room is properly cleaned each day, the meals are well planned and portions a good size. On occasions when she has been ill, they have swiftly contacted medical services. I would also say that the atmosphere is happy and friendly- it's noticeable every time I visit.

Our aunt moved into Kathryn Court unsettled. We have noticed recently how well she has settled in. On her 90th birthday in July she has a lovely trip to Old Leigh including fish+chips and ice cream.

Kathryn Court is always praising the food and she now looks really well. My sisters and I are so pleased that our aunt has gone into Kathryn Court.

Moved mum to Kathryn Court in December 2015 from another care home that was failing her needs. Kathryn Court is vey local to us and had been recommended by friends. The staff and management coped with a very difficult move for mum in a professional and caring manner, and we have been extremely impressed with every aspect of the care given and the accommodation provided. In addition they have provided us with a high level of personal and emotional support at a challenging time.
The home at Kathryn Court is very good. The manager is very helpful and informative and the staff spend time and look after my aunt. My aunt is very happy and content.

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.

Hi, I’m Donna, and I’ve been proudly working as a Care Assistant at Kathryn Court for 15 years. My role here is deeply rewarding, and I truly enjoy socialising with our wonderful residents, their families, and my amazing colleagues.
Outside of work, I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve completed a Race for Life and am known for my outgoing nature—I can even down a pint in one go! In my free time, I love travelling and unwinding on holidays, visiting the theatre, exploring museums, and indulging in delicious meals. Life is all about enjoying the little moments, and I make the most of them.
