Willow Court must be the best care home in the UK. The staff are fantastic, very understanding and respectful in every way. Finance needs an overhaul as it does not understand requests from people.

Wow, thank you very much for that opening statement in your review, very appreciated! The team here try our best every day to ensure we put our residents first. Regarding the comment on finance, this will be looked into and perhaps you can schedule a meeting with the home manager to discuss further. Have a lovely day!

We moved our loved one to Willow Court due to the dementia-friendly ward. We feel that the care is person-centred, and the care home feels stimulating rather than clinical. We were so impressed with the care home that we moved my father in during Covid and recommended it to a friend, who also moved her mother in. Pre-Covid, it had a brilliant community feel. We can't wait till we are all able to visit our loved ones in their new home. We can't thank the staff enough for going above and beyond during these difficult times.
Good day, and thank you for the review, we are happy to hear that your loved one's stay at Willow Court is a good one. The team try their best to ensure all residents are treated with the love and respect they deserve at all times. Have a lovely day!

From the initial contact right through the whole care process, I have found all members of the staff and management to be helpful, supportive, caring and understanding to both ours and the resident's needs. Keeping within the bounds of health and safety for all and reasonable expectation. Every reasonable effort is made to engage residents in activities and provide both internal and external services eg hospital, dental, optical visits and outings. Kept us fully informed as to any problems with Mum's health and condition allowing us peace of mind.
Seasons greetings and thank you so much for your glowing review of our home. We are very proud of the care that our homes deliver and are glad that your mum is enjoying her stay with us at Willow Court. We will pass your comments on to the home and the staff.

The staff at Willow Court have been exceptional with the care of my mother, particularly during this lockdown period. I have received at least weekly written reports about my mother and often telephone calls when their have been issues with her deteriorating health. During lockdown, my mother had a birthday and we the family were allowed to see her through the glass doors at reception. The staff went out of their way to make this visit as happy and enjoyable as possible for us all and it was quite clear my mother was having a very enjoyable day. She also looked very well. This was repeated on the garden visit we were allowed. Given my mother's health issues she looked extremely well and clearly very well cared for. All the staff at Willow Court are a joy to deal with and clearly have the welfare of the residents as their main priority. I have seen all the Facebook posts and nearly everyday something fun is happening, from Elvis day to Prosecco day. Thank you so much.

My mum is really happy there and it is thanks to the care team and their attitude and approach and the activities they provide that despite not being able to visit I don't constantly worry about her physical and mental well-being as I did before she went to live there.
Massive thanks to all the team.

I believe Willow Court to be an excellent care home. All the staff are caring and have done a remarkable job, especially during this pandemic. They have carried out their duties in these difficult times with the utmost care and compassion to the residents.

The staff are Willow Court were always polite, friendly and courteous to both residents and visitors. They treated everyone with respect and tried to accommodate every need - some in difficult circumstances. The carers were there with a smile/chat when visits became strained. Thank you to everyone.

Thank you for this wonderful praise in support of the high standards of care delivered to all our residents at Willow Court. The patience, passion and dedicated care provided by the carers makes such a vital difference to each and every resident in our care and provides comforting assurance to their relatives too. We are so pleased to hear your cousin was well cared for whilst he lived at Willow Court and I am sure he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
The staff at Willow Court are to be congratulated on the care and attention they give to my husband. The efforts they make to celebrate special dates in the calendar and the decorations are amazing. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful review. Our care homes love making a fuss of residents on special occasions as it is a cause for celebration, not just for the guest of honour, but our other residents benefit from joining in the fun and excitement too. The staff at Willow Court really go the “extra mile” at all their events and we are pleased this benefits your husband and other residents too.
Wonderful evening with my son fine dining at Willow Court.

The staff at Willow Court are very friendly and extremely kind. My mum is very well cared for. The home itself is very well presented. They make the most of special moments like Christmas, beautiful displays, gifts for residents and bringing joy whenever possible.

The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Managers will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to provide the best of everything for their residents.

I like knowing I help to make a difference on a daily basis in the residents’ lives, and hopefully, I help to brighten up their day.
