Drayton Court

Mum was recently in hospital, on her return to Drayton she was greeted like she was royalty. I felt I had missed the place, the residents and the staff, and felt she’d come back to her home and not just a care home.

Moving a parent to a care home is such a heartbreaking decision, having said that it was the best decision we could have made. My dad is as happy as he possibly could be for his situation. The care he receives is second to none. The carers are simply amazing, they are so upbeat and so kind and helpful, he is so fond of them all. The management team are very quick to resolve any issues and always so friendly and helpful. When we were looking for a home we were turned down by many homes for his needs being too high, Drayton Court accepted us with open arms and nothing has ever been too much trouble. It has changed our lives as a family, knowing that my dad is safe, warm, very well fed and happy. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

I have been in to see my friend who lives in the lodge household, well what can I say the staff are amazing, nothing is too much bother for any of them, the laughing and the joking and the bond they have with my friend is second to none, the 3 ladies that were working deserve recognition, they treated my friend like a friend, not a resident, I am so proud of each and every one of you, I have never come across such amazing people, so thank you Drayton Court for bringing my best friend of a lifetime back.

To me Drayton Court is not a care home, it's home from home with love, care, respect and dignity for their residents. This is the second care home my mum has come to and the difference in care and attention and hope is second to none, my mum has gained conference, independence and the will to keep going, and that to me is a joy to see. The manager, carers, office staff and cooks, to them, these are not residents they are their family and are respected as such.

Mum/grandma and great grandma has been there for 3 years with excellent personal care and attention with dignity and respect. Enjoyed the activities that have been provided and encouraged with safety all through Covid. The safety and security have been amazing. Cannot complain about the quality of care and service given - lovely, friendly staff and dedicated workers. Always pleasant and gave support throughout and close-knit family home. Been friends and family to Mum throughout her stay.

My mother moved into Drayton Court in July 2022 (3 weeks as of this review). The transition into full-time care is unsettling for sufferers of dementia. This may not always be the case but it certainly has been for my mother. After visiting for the weekend and witnessing caring engagement that is upbeat and positive, and after seeing a clean homely environment, I feel confident she is being well looked after. It's early days but so far Drayton Court is ticking all of the boxes.

My uncle has been a resident at Drayton Court for over two years now. He is very happy and content there. The carers are great with him and also my uncle gets on with them all. I can't fault his care in the home at all but some agency staff are not so good. The home is always very clean and tidy, my uncle's room is always clean and well looked after and I would not like my uncle to be anywhere else and god willing, he will be there for many more years yet. He will be 92-years old this year. Well done to all the staff at Drayton Court.

It has given me complete peace of mind knowing that she is safe and well looked after.

My family has great peace of mind that my father is receiving excellent, kind, compassionate care.

Drayton Court has been excellent in the time my husband has been a resident, that is six years, and the last eighteen months, they have gone above and beyond. I will never be able to thank the carers, the staff or management enough, knowing that my husband has been so well looked after in these awful times.

We are so pleased we moved my mum here. This has been through the pandemic so has been hard for her to adjust. We were really glad to be able to still visit, the carer and admin have been amazing, always happy to help.

I think that the carers, managers and supervisors are excellent and they know my problems and deal with them efficiently. I like the fact that the team of carers on my floor are regulars, rather than changing about or agency carers. I have grown to know the staff very well over the two years I have been here and they are hard-working, efficient and friendly.

At times Mum has found certain things difficult due to Covid restrictions but has had support from staff and myself to work through those situations.

He had a corner, bottom room with a garden and the team helped us decorate it so he would feel at home.

I found the home very caring for my godmother who has dementia. The staff have been excellent and kept us updated and been very supportive with all our family over the last year and a half. I would definitely recommend this care home to other friends and family if it is needed in the future.

My brother has been in Drayton Court for about a year now, and he has improved in mood, in weight gain because he started to look frail before he went there, but he's looking really well, happy and clean.

The staff was very polite and cared very well. Thank you.

I wish the staff of Drayton Court every good wish for the future thank you

Drayton Court is also child friendly and they welcome my aunties grandchildren. Well done and keep up the good work. You all deserve thanks. Bless you all.
