Russell Churcher Court

My mum has been a resident for over 10 years, the care she has received has been amazing. I have no doubt in saying that she would not be here today had it not been for these good folk. The home is well organised but what strikes me most is the genuine care which the staff demonstrate and their commitment. These guys should definitely be included in the Thursday night cheer!

My mother has been a resident in the home for four months now. I have been impressed with the way she has been treated since her arrival and the care she has received to date. The staff are professional and motivated and interact well with residents. The home is well managed and a comprehensive programme of entertainment and participative events organised throughout the week.

From day one mum has felt very very welcome, nothing is too much trouble, mum fits in and it feels like home. She is extremely happy with the decision to go there and sell her home after many many years of living there with my late dad. She has got more confident and looks happier and healthier. I would like to thank everyone involved for putting my mind at rest so I can sleep better at night too.

The menus are varied and our friend has said the food is good.

I know the home is busy and folk seem lovely, it would be nice to be a bit better informed/updated re mum's health/wellbeing in reality.

We have always been pleased with the care Mum has, but since a change in staff, we feel big improvements. We are much more informed and included and so many new activities seem to be taking place.

Visited friend: Staff friendly and helpful. My friend is happy and on good terms with all the staff and enjoying a visit with therapy dogs. The building is clean and well cared for, with lovely decor and flowers, like a hotel. Nice relaxed atmosphere throughout.

My mum has lived at Russell Churcher Court for over three years and both of us are very happy with the care she receives. The purpose of this review, however, is to comment on the wonderful work the Activities team has been doing to make the home a lovely, stimulating and cheerful place to live in. The corridors are decorated very imaginatively and attractively and the dining room decor changes in line with seasonal celebrations, Christmas, St Valentine's etc.

I attended the Residents' meeting on 29 March. It was a full house with many residents and family members in attendance, all being served tea and home-baked cakes and made to feel welcome and listened to. After a discussion of items on the agenda, we were presented with the new mobile shop which really impressed everyone, it is so prettily decorated like an old fashioned ice-cream cart! It will make shopping a pleasurable experience!

The imagination and enthusiasm of the Activities team really deserve commendation.

Having visited this Care Home on a few occasions now, I can confidently say this has to be one of the most caring and compassionate homes I’ve been to. It’s immediately evident from entering the vast grounds, that it’s extremely well looked after with no litter and plenty of greenery.

When you enter the building, the entrance is secure to safeguard the residents and you’re welcomed by a wonderful receptionist. The courtesy and respect shown to the residents throughout the clean and well-maintained areas is a pleasure to see. It’s clear the staff care about each of the residents and nothing seems to be too much for visitors.

Food served is excellent in variety and served by chefs who, again, show pride and passion in what they do. I was impressed to see the organisation of meal times when I visited, and the time carers took with residents.

Overall, I highly recommend the service and find it caring and very well led. Thank you for treating residents as if they were your loved one.

The care and attention given to my sister at this nursing home has quite definitely prolonged her life.

My husband has only used one other facility for his respite but will now only use Russell Churcher.

The activities are varied and include word games, bingo and crafts, all of which Mum enjoys. They celebrate every event possible, World Cup, Royal Wedding, Valentine's Day, etc. by decorating the home and also arrange trips out. An excellent care home and we have no regrets with our choice.

My mother's room is always warm and cosy and inviting. The food is appetising and tasty. The staff are warm, friendly, caring and welcoming. I worried about my mother going into a home but I always came away relaxed knowing she is in good hands. During a recent illness, she was monitored and taken care of following a doctors visit.

I recommend this lovely home and if I ever need to go into a home, I would certainly choose this one.

Since moving into Russell Churcher Court last Autumn, my aunt has settled well and feels very much at home. Her room is well appointed and of a reasonable size and the bathroom is excellent. She is encouraged to join in with activities on offer and her experience there has truly offered her a new lease of life following the loss of her husband. She has made good friendships and built excellent relationships with the lovely staff.

I have found the care to be of a high standard with staff who are caring and motivated.

My husband is very happy as much as one can expect.

The care home is very nice unfortunately my husband has very complex issues and so care cannot be given 24/7 and so anxiety was there with him most of the time, however, the care given one cannot fault.

All the staff are so kind and I spend quite a lot of time there.

Our mother moved into Russell Churcher Court earlier this year. She is very happy there and takes full advantage of all the facilities on offer. It puts our mind at rest knowing that she is living in such a caring environment.

Dad is so well looked after if I can't get in to see him I know he is quite safe where he is. He was unwell and had to go to hospital. I received a call as he was taken to hospital and the home and I kept each other up to date on what was happening. Dad has his dignity and respect which is very important. It is such a nice place. My daughter age 29 said she will move in after seeing the care and attention her Grampy gets. If anyone asked me I would say its the best home in Gosport.
