My father has been in Cornerways now for just over a year, he is happy and very well fed! It is a lovely place to visit! The staff are kind and caring and always happy to see you, you can see the care that they give to the residents. All the admin staff too are great and informative.
Thank you for writing a review. We're so pleased that both you and your father are happy with Cornerways. Thank you.
My husband is very happy and occupied in Cornerways. He eats well and has regular checkups and varied activities. Families are encouraged to visit and take part in various occasions ie, Royal Coronation. The carers know my husband's needs and they make me feel very welcome. I would recommend Cornerways to everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. All the team at Cornerways will be delighted and proud to hear your feedback. Thank you.
Friendly and very informative, it was clear that the wonderful team knew Dad very well and that they genuinely care about him. I have complete peace of mind and nothing but praise for all the staff are Cornerways. Dad is very impressed with the food.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. The whole team at Cornerways will be so pleased to hear your praise. Thank you, Stephen.
My husband has been a resident at Cornerways Care Home since May 2022. The care he is receiving is excellent. The staff are really caring. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They have endless patience with my husband. He is not always responsive but I know he feels safe and cared for. Thank you to every single member of staff at Cornerways. Also, thank you for being so kind and understanding to me, it means a lot.
My husband has been very content and happy with the staff and management, they have been kind and caring. This, in turn, gives me some peace of mind. He speaks to me regularly on the phone as I am unable to visit often due to my own health problems.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Cornerways. Our team work hard to achieve our care values and we will share your feedback with them.
I can't thank all staff at Cornerways. My brother has been with them for two months now, and the care and attention that's been given to him in that time has been exceptional. You are all wonderful people - thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm so pleased that your brother is receiving great care. The team will be delighted to hear your positive feedback. Thank you.
The staff are very caring and I am so grateful. They will do their best to meet my husband's needs.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your positive feedback means a lot to the team. Thank you, Stephen.
The senior staff are excellent, and they answer any queries I have. I can't fault this home; they are brilliant.
We have 100% peace of mind my father-in-law is being looked after and caring for all his needs.
Thank you so much, it's always good to hear and we will share your review with our wonderful staff at Cornerways.
Management are very helpful and friendly.
The staff at Cornerways Care Home treat my dad with so much respect and kindness. We feel he is safe and well cared for. He enjoys having the company of the staff and other residents and they often ask him if there is anything they can do or supply to enable him to fulfil his interests. My dad said he couldn't fault the food. His life is more fulfilled and knowing he has someone around 24/7 is very reassuring for our family.
Thank you so much for the review of Cornerways. We love getting to know everyone and we are glad that your father is happy and your family reassured.
Since Dad moved into Cornerways Care Home he has had nothing but the best of care. The staff are extremely attentive and I think this shows in their excellent management of the Covid-19 pandemic. Dad has always liked his food and Cornerways does not disappoint!
Thank you so much for the excellent review of Cornerways. Our staff are amazing and we agree about the food at Cornerways.
My father was resident from Sept 2017 until his death at 97 on 23/6/19. It was the fir4st home we visited - and it was head and shoulders above others we saw. The home is very clean and all the staff knowledgeable, extremely caring and experienced in dealing with dementia. It is a true home from home. We were able to visit whenever we wanted and always made welcome and offered cups of tea. All the food is homemade and beautiful. They supported my father and us to his last breath. I could not recommend them more.
Thank you for your kind words and we are sorry for your loss.
I found Cornerways to be caring, considerate of residents personal and psychological needs. High standards of professional behaviour from all members of staff. Very impressed with the standard of care given to residents. Visitors were always greeted politely and treated with respect, as were the residents.
Every weekday they have a variety of entertainment/activities to help keep their minds and bodies active with fine motor skills games etc.
We as a family can't thank the staff enough for their support and compassion shown not only to us but to our mother when she was at the end of her journey.
Thank you for your kind words. We will certainly pass on your comments to all the staff and thank them for their support and compassion.
My husband was well cared for and was happy despite the dementia. The staff I came into contact with were great to both him and me - even to the end. The night duty staff were amazing.
Staffing issues were a problem but that is endemic in the sector.
My late brother was a resident of Cornerways for the last three years of his life and during that time the family were very happy with all aspects of his care.
The care my father has received during this time has been exemplary. I have met at least fifteen members of staff and all of them have shown a sensitively and affection that goes beyond what I expected. I have shared a room with my father for a week given his terminal condition and have been overwhelmed by the care and attention I've received also! The only problem is the labyrinth in a building which has been adapted for purpose but the carers more than make up for any inconvenience caused by that.
My father was very old (101) and he had excellent care. I live in Birmingham so my visits were not as frequent as I would have wished but every time I met with dad I was really impressed with the care there. I would not hesitate to recommend Cornerways because of these high standards in all fields of care and personal support.
Having observed the workings of Cornerways over a period of 3 months I have been amazed at the dedication of all levels of staff. There is an ethos, that flows from top to bottom and bottom to top, but always centred on resident satisfaction. How the staff maintain their cheery disposition in face of all they have to deal with is beyond me.
My Mother is always well dressed and well-looked after. Her room is clean and tidy and well equipped with the aids necessary for her safety and well being. Her laundry is done on a regular basis and attention is paid to such as her hair, nails and chiropody. Medication is handled and a Doctor called whenever required. Mother is well fed and happy and assisted with her mobility. Residents are monitored on a regular basis and guests are catered for without any problem.
Cornerways is a nice location and residents are treated to music acts, trips out various daytime activities to keep them stimulated both mentally and physically.

Meet the Team (1)
I joined Cornerways as a Night Senior, bringing over 10 years of NHS experience from various hospital wards. When COVID turned the world upside down, I moved to day shifts and gradually worked my way through several roles to where I am today.
Cornerways genuinely feels like my second home. I feel incredibly lucky to lead such a brilliant team and care for our lovely residents—each one with their own stories, quirks, and ability to make me laugh every single day.
When not at work, I am married with three brilliant children and grandchildren whom I adore.
