Review from Barbara M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 22 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
First impressions were friendly, welcoming staff and a very homely feel to the place which is immaculately clean.
The Standard of care is excellent and the food is superb with plenty of choice.
It is comforting to know that my Mother-in-law is being looked after so well with the attentive and caring staff. All of them are friendly, caring and professional.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ross Court.

Overall Experience

After visiting my aunt for quite sometime at Barchester Ross Court Care Home I have found the changes that are being done in the home to be all centered around the residents, they have a fantastic activity coordinator who is doing marvellous things with residents and they have catered activities to everyone’s needs. I am very impressed as my aunt says she wouldn’t want to be any where else, keep up the good work.

Review from Pearl (Friend of Resident) published on 21 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Today I visited a friend who is a resident at Ross Court.
Tomorrow is her birthday, so I asked a member of staff do they get a cake, his reply was yes,
he said at Ross Court the residents Birthday is made extra special, said they have cards, presents, balloons and birthday cake, and all the staff gather round and sing happy birthday.
I asked my friend if she was happy at Ross Court and she said yes, made me feel very welcome.
She said the care she receives is outstanding.
We spent time in the pod, then when I left she was walking around the beautiful gardens at Ross Court.
I have no problem recommending the home.

It's in a lovely location close to town, and only a short distance from the beautiful River Wye.

Overall Experience
It was so nice to visit a friend recently, I haven't been able to see her for a while as I been shielding. It was so nice to be able to see her face to face in the pod.
She looked very well; she said she wouldn't want to be anywhere else than Ross Court.
I asked if all her caring needs were being met, she said everyone was so helpful and caring.
She told me that they have a new activities lady she doesn't always go to activities herself but has been going a lot lately, her words were I really enjoy getting involved now as they make it fun. She particularly enjoyed helping to decorate the wooden spoons.

Its been a pleasure visiting her knowing she is being really cared for.

Overall Experience

As a volunteer for a local organisation, recently placed a friend in Ross Court for a period of respite for home improvement works. This home is an excellent local choice whom we have used several times in the past. The home is kept to a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the staff are all well presented pleasant at all times to both clients and relatives and visitors. They respond proactively to their clients' needs and also engage them in many social activities for recreational stimulus. They have an excellent selection of all dietary needs. Inquiries are well met and responses quickly acted upon. This home is an excellent choice.

Review from Tony P (Son of Resident) published on 1 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Ross Court for approx 4 months and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support she is receiving. All the staff are so nice and very caring and the home manager has done so much to make her feel safe, cared for and happy, often going above and beyond what is expected. The communication during these difficult times has been fantastic, we really couldn’t have asked for more, the visiting protocol, when allowed, has also been eco driven to none. Well done to all at Ross Court.

Review from Jenny P (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 15 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother-in-law has only been in Ross Court for two weeks; she was living in her own flat until recently her mobility became so bad, she was unable to care for herself. She had become very confused, and as much as we wanted to, we were unable to care for her ourselves. We are so happy with the care that she has received, although because of the circumstances, we are unable to visit her, we can phone her every day. She sounds so happy and well cared for, her confusion is less, and she seems more like her old self. The staff are friendly and helpful; there seems to be a real homely feel to Ross Court. Mother is enjoying the lovely food, the menu certainly looks impressive! We are looking forward to visiting her and sitting out in the beautiful grounds, which she has yet to explore.

Reply from Nicola Thomas, Activities Co-ordinator at Barchester Ross Court Care Home

Review from Sally (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Ross Court helped our family at a very difficult time for us supplying first-class respite care for Mum who has Alzheimer’s. Whilst the transition from home to Ross Court was not a straight forward one due to the pandemic, the staff made mum very welcome and comfortable, quickly working out her quirks! Mum then had the stimulation she needed which would not have been available at home during this time and soon settled in. Thank you Ross Court for caring so well for mum during this time!

Reply from Clare Lockley, Activities Co-ordinator at Barchester Ross Court Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and lovely review of Ross Court Care Home. It was a pleasure to help and support your family at such a difficult time and look forward to seeing you in the near future when we can once again open our doors and welcome our visitors back to our lovely home.

Review from Amanda G (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum was moved to Ross Court after being evacuated from the residential home where she had lived happily for 14 months. We were experiencing the worst floods we had seen in over 60 years.
Mum has dementia and we worried about the effect the trauma would have on her mental health and the upheaval of change and leaving the stability of a routine and people she understood and trusted.
The home went into lockdown mid-March but we needn't have worried.
Luckily mum has a phone in her room, she laughs and chats happily with us and has empathy, something that we thought dementia had taken from her some time ago.
My telephone conversations with her are reminiscent of a time when she was dementia-free.
Any concerns have been dealt with sympathetically and reassuringly. I'm confident that mum is being looked after well and the level of care is of an exceptional standard.

My confidence comes from the honest and openly caring attitude of the manager but more so the tone of my own mum's voice.

Reply from Samantha Fawcett, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Ross Court Care Home

Thank you so much for your review, we very much look forward to seeing you visit the home soon, once restrictions are lifted. Mum is doing really well and is an absolute pleasure to have staying with us.

All the staff is dedicated to the care and comfort of the residents. Also friendly and helpful to visitors. The manager is approachable and has the welfare of residents and staff at heart, first and foremost. Only downside:- the coffee given in the home is awful! Wouldnt even have known it was coffee!

Reply from Samantha Fawcett, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Ross Court Care Home

Thank you for your review. We strive to maintain a true 'home from home' feel throughout Ross Court. Apologies the coffee machine didn't suit your palette, please ask next time you visit for a 'chef special', and we'll ensure a freshly filtered cafetière is delivered to you.

Review from Linda S (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father has been a resident at Ross Court for over 2 years, he is well cared for and has been able to join in a number of activities and outings.
The home is very well managed, the staff an appropriate mix of professional and friendly, as his dementia has progressed they have treated him with dignity and respect.
My father is comfortable and seems to enjoy the food.

I hope that the new owners will invest in updating the fixtures and fittings - whilst they are all adequate they do appear dated and somewhat tired.

Review from Paul C (Son of Resident) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother was apprehensive about "going into a home" - however, within a few days she was settled, happy and warmly welcomed by all staff, from the manager to the laundry - she was made to feel at home and relaxed. There are many activities available every day, she particularly enjoys the art group and church services. The rooms are bright, clean and can be personalised to the resident's taste. Visitors are welcome at any time, we feel very relaxed about popping in for a coffee/tea with Mum, or even joining in some of the events.

We have an elderly relative (98) who has been extremely happy at Ross Court for three years. Right from her first day of arrival, we have found the manager and staff to be first-class in all aspects of providing for her, personal requirements, food, activities and wellbeing. We cannot praise all at Ross Court enough.

My Father has been in the care of Ross Court since the middle of the year and he was very apprehensive about being in a "care home".
But the staff made him welcome and after several weeks, he started to settle in but stayed in his room a lot. Now they have coaxed him out he joins in with everything and is really happy.

The only complaint he has, is about the food, he says it is "too good" and he really enjoys the varied menu and loves his Fish and Chips on Fridays.
