My now 98-year-old aunt moved into Nynehead Court in November 2019 and settled in well before the pandemic. Nynehead Court has been exceptional in their care during the last incredibly difficult two years, They have communicated well with relatives, been efficient and good-humoured throughout. I highly recommend them.
Mum moved to Nynehead Court four weeks ago. She has settled there really well, and we are very impressed by the quality of the care in all respects and by the management of the home.

My mother and father and now an auntie have been residents in this home on and off since 2008. Mother having a four years stay and passing away peacefully at this home. The staff are so caring, polite and welcoming; many having been there for many years, a true sign of a contented family environment. There is nothing more pleasant when visiting to be welcome by name. Rooms are airy, cleaned regularly, and residents looked in upon many times during the day. Feels like a little community.
My mother has been a resident for 2 years now and is feeling happy and safe there. The staff couldn't be more helpful, charming and friendly. In these current turbulent times the attention to detail has been exemplary.

My mother lived at Nynehead Court for over eight years. At first, she lived a (supported) independent life in her bungalow in the Court grounds, but as her dementia became worse and after a fall, she moved into a single room in the Mulberry Wing. Both in her own home and in the dementia wing, she received excellent care which respected her independent spirit and gave her a good quality of life, as well as providing increasing support for her deteriorating mental health and physical frailty. During the last, difficult weeks of her life, I always knew I could trust the Nynehead staff to care for Mum with their customary professionalism, sensitivity and kindness which maintained her comfort and dignity to the very end. The Nynehead staff have also been exceptionally caring and supportive to us as a family, both throughout Mum's years at the Court and particularly during her final illness, despite the extra difficulties and restrictions of lock-down.
My mother has been a resident since November 2019; prior to this she was a day visitor three times per week. She has settled happily despite the period of lockdown and has made friends with other residents and the staff, which has been all the more important when family have been unable to visit...

Assistance from staff on the first day, I was introduced to other residents upon my arrival. I had a choice of being served with meals in the bedroom but as I was put on the top floor, I had to wait. Was unable to shower or use bath, was awkward.

My wife and I are well impressed with this care home. It is a smooth operation, with staff calmly handling guests using dignity and individuality. Our friend was enticed with the food offerings, properly created on the premises. Proof indeed that it is possible to grow old in fine style. This place is on our list, when the time comes.

I completed a YTS in Horticulture at Cannington College and my day release placement was at a Care Home, working with the Head Gardener on their 9 acres of formal gardens. I hold NVQ Levels 1 and 2 and a City & Guilds qualification in Amenity Horticulture. I worked at the home for 4 years before moving to Monkton Elm Garden Centre, where I worked for 3 years in Commercial Horticulture and gained valuable experience of plants and the industry.
I joined Nynehead Court in 2001 as Assistant to the Head Gardener, and during this time I gained the Advanced National Certificate in Horticulture (Level 3) and took the RHS General Exam. I became Head Gardener in 2009, and now look after the home's impressive 18 acres of historic parkland.
I have been at Nynehead Court for over 19 years and love the history of the gardens, which I share with residents and visitors. Some of the trees are over 400 years old and are a joy to be around.

I started working at Nynehead Court as a carer on day shifts in February 1991. After a few years and completing my NVQ in Health & Social Care I became a Senior Care Co-ordinator, I enjoyed coming to work and caring for our residents. In 2015, after having an operation on my knee that did not go as planned I returned to work but helping in the office. I was offered the Administrator role, and did some external bookkeeping classes to help me. I absolutely love the job I am doing now and working with a great team here at Nynehead Court.
