The care for my mum is very good. My is a difficult person to deal with but she is always treated with care and respect. The management is very good and the senior staff. The care staff are always cheerful and treat my mum with care. I am kept informed of any problems with my mum.

Thank you for the review. Tour mum likes to keep us on our toes, she will tell staff if things as she sees them are not right. She likes to join in with activities and will come to the day centre to play bingo, and to listen to the entertainers.
Kind friendly staff. Very attentive. Care home is always immaculate very happy knowing my mother is catered for. Mother has dementia and the staff are very patient with her. I'm glad that she is in this home.

Your mother made such an impression on us during her respite stay, we were sad to see her leave. When she needed a permanent bed, it was lovely that your mother was able to come and live at Queens Court. She is settled and appears happy and content. She likes the staff that work with her, and is not afraid to tell then what she wants or needs. She is a pleasure to support.

My Uncle appears to be mostly happy and content at Queens Court which is most important. He can be anxious when his dementia causes confusion carers appear to be aware and supportive. A recent incident with a different resident who became aggressive towards my Uncle was dealt with swiftly and professionally. Staff are open to communicate with me which has been very important. There are several excellent carers in the dementia area of the home where my Uncle lives.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Dementia is unkind, not only for the individual but for families and close ones also, as the person we visit is no longer the person we once knew.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Dementia is unkind, not only for the individual but for families and close ones also, as the person we visit is no longer the person we once knew. Your Uncle is a pleasure to support, he loves to sit and chat with staff. I know your Uncle, at times, can become anxious, but staff recognise this and are always ready with a cup of tea and a chat. He is very settled at Queens Court, and calls it home. He always appears happy and content.

Supporting your mum for the past 15 years has been amazing, she has grown to love us as much as we do her. I have very fond memories of cups of tea, and sat with her in the garden on days when she has come down to my office. Mum has changed a little as she has grown older, as we all have, but she is content, and now enjoys her room and her own company quite a lot of the time, rather than mixing with others.
My mum is very happy in the home , the staff are lovely and always very willing , The refurbishment of the home is very good making it very homely , the activities are good when I went in the other day they were having a singalong session , which mum had enjoyed

Thank you so much for the review. Mum is lovely, staff adore her and enjoy her company, as she like a little chat with them. Mum, although quiet, is sociable and enjoys being in the lounge with the other residents. Thank you for mentioning the recent refurbishment, we are very happy with all the work that has been done, its certainly brightened the home.

He feels comfortable and safe, and we've noticed a real improvement in his mood since moving here. The team always take the time to chat with him, encourage him to join in with activities, and make sure his needs are met with care and respect.
It's reassuring to know that he is in such good hands, and we couldn't be happier with the level of support he receives. We're very grateful to everyone at Queen's Court for creating such a positive environment.
Thank you for the lovely words, which have been shared with staff. Dad likes to keep independent but also likes to know that there are always staff around when needed. He likes to sit and chat and has made friends with other people who live close by. Dad settled really quickly, as he made the positive choice to move into Queens Court himself.
My mother has lived at Queens Court now for over 2 years and is never on her own and feels safe and very well cared for. Staff are so kind and caring and as a family we are very grateful for the care that they provide for mum. I am always kept updated as things happen and can't really ask for...
My mother has lived at Queens Court now for over 2 years and is never on her own and feels safe and very well cared for. Staff are so kind and caring and as a family we are very grateful for the care that they provide for mum. I am always kept updated as things happen and can't really ask for anything better.
Your mum is an absolute sweetheart, always happy to see staff and visitors. Mum sits and watches the world go on around her, then will decide to make her way to the day centre for a different change of scene. A kind, gentle lady with such a welcoming smile, adored by us all.
We are so thankful for all the help and assistance we needed at the time of those first few days.

We are so thankful for all the help and assistance we needed at the time of those first few days.
You have a wonderful team at Queens Court, their hard work and dedication is so appreciated by us as a family and more importantly to Dad. The new furnishings are nice and welcoming, love the curtains too.
Your dad is a pleasure to support. Very much a quiet man who likes his own space, so needs a little encouragement to join in with the others. The new furniture and furnishing has definitely lifted the home, glad to hear you like them.
Generally very good. It's clean, carers are lovely, atmosphere very warm and friendly, but recently there has been a problem with the provision of food. Menus are issued, but the food provided isn't what is on them. One evening all that was offered was a toasted tea cake! I know they have had...
Generally very good. It's clean, carers are lovely, atmosphere very warm and friendly, but recently there has been a problem with the provision of food. Menus are issued, but the food provided isn't what is on them. One evening all that was offered was a toasted tea cake! I know they have had difficulty employing a new chef and I'm sure everyone is doing their best to cover the position, but nutrition is an important factor in maintaining good health and this should be a priority.
Thank you for writing a review. We discussed the difficulties we are having with recruiting chefs, at the recent families meeting.

Thank you for writing a review. We discussed the difficulties we are having with recruiting chefs, at the recent families meeting. I'm sorry the food provided hasn't always been at the standard we would expect. We have now recruited to one of the vacant positions and will soon be moving over to our new winter menu. I know that your dad often prefers a sandwich for tea. There is always the provisions available for staff to make him one, if he tells them that is what he would like.
I have absolute confidence in the quality of care provided by and the professionalism of the staff at Queen's Court. The atmosphere is always calm, friendly and positive and I feel the carers know my mother and her needs intimately, always respecting her dignity. A couple of the carers in...
I am kept informed of any changes in my mother's condition and the overall level of communication is very good. I also appreciate the fact that I can visit at any time and can take Mum out for the day without any fuss.
Overall, the carers at Queen's Court have given me peace of mind - I know that Mum is in the best place and in the best hands.
Thank you, your review is very much appreciated. Mum, as you know, is a quiet lady who enjoys her own company. She does, however, love going out with you for the day. I know that she has a lovely relationship with both the carers and senior, who all know her very well.
Words fail me in my admiration for all the staff at Queens Court. My mother has been looked after by them for over six years during which her Alzheimers has taken full hold. But this isn't a care home that does the minimum for someone who lives in a different world. The team exudes love and...
Words fail me in my admiration for all the staff at Queens Court. My mother has been looked after by them for over six years during which her Alzheimers has taken full hold. But this isn't a care home that does the minimum for someone who lives in a different world. The team exudes love and compassion for her and the other residents. Mum is so well cared for, is kept safe, and is treated with the utmost dignity. Despite mum not knowing who I am or where she is, she is happy, healthy and loved. And that is entirely attributable to the Queens Court team at every level and in every role. They are my heroes.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Mum is an absolute pleasure to support, she is so lovely natured and enjoys the company of others. She also enjoys the odd singalong when staff play music from her Scottish heritage. Mum may have memory loss but the words still come when the old tunes are played. She very much enjoys time with our music therapist, and our chaplain.
I am most impressed by the safe atmosphere and gentle care shown by staff towards residents. I see my mother's anxiety soothed and her dignity respected at all times. Her room is clean, comfortable and attractive and the communal areas are also pleasant and well serviced. Thank you for providing...

I have given Queen's Court excellent on all counts - they are undergoing extensive renovations - hence 'good' for rooms at the moment. My mother is very well cared for - she is 104 years old - poor eyesight and hearing and memory problems. The activities have been hard to organise recently but she usually attends the day centre sessions.
Your mum may be 104, but she knows what she wants to do and when, she joins in different activities as long as they don't interfere with her afternoon nap. Mum is truly a pleasure to support.
My mother has been a resident in Queens Court since 2017 and we have had nothing but praise for the way she has been cared for since the day she arrived.

Thank you for the review. Although Mum has lived with us for a number of years, there is no mistaking her London accent. She's always ready for a chat or a wave as you walk past, it's a pleasure to care for your mum.

The care she receives is to a very good standard and I also have a great relationship with the carers which is excellent.
My mum is very fussy with her food and I feel the staff do go that extra mile, to try and entice her to eat.
Overall we are very happy with Queens Court and my mum is very content there.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Mum is a pleasure to support, she always has a smile, and something to say, but is equally content sitting in her room knitting.
Lovely neighbourly feel to Queens Court as everyone is very friendly and greets all who come in to visit etc.
Quality and consistency of food is a problem.
I have broached this issue many times with no resolution.

Thank you for the review, I know Dad says about meals being too big or not to his taste, often saying he would prefer a jacket potato. Our hospitality manager has also spent time with him to try and find out how we can help. Families are always welcome to book a meal here too, so they can experience our menus themselves.

They constantly go above and beyond to support our family and Dad, helping us mark special family events. Going above and beyond expectations.
There is such a family feel with events and visits welcome to all.
We are comforted that Dad is in excellent hands in a resident-centred home.
Full marks from us!
Dad is a quiet gentleman, who sits and watches the world go on around him. I know how much he loves the visits from you. Our mission is to support our residents, and also the wider family. Queens Court is not just a care home, but a home that cares, for everyone connected to us.
Staff are kind, friendly and caring and always seem to have time for the residents. There are lots of activities. The environment is homely and reassuring. If medical care is required, appropriate advice or treatment is sought promptly.

Mum took a little while to settle at Queens Court but is now well and truly at home. She is a delight to work with and has quite a sense of humour, which the staff love.
