Review from Jane (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't have wished for a better care home for our mum. She was reluctant, to say the least when she first arrived last summer. This was made difficult by the fact that we haven't been able to see inside the home or seen that much of her but slowly she has settled in. She has always told us about the wonderful staff and the care she receives. She has said more than a couple of times when we visit, she likes the hotel she's staying at! She has told us the home-cooked food is marvellous and looking on the social media website, the activities she gets involved in are better than anything I got up to during lockdown! So, a big thank you to all the staff for your ongoing support and the dedication you give to your job, especially in these difficult times.

Review from Edward D (Friend of Resident) published on 14 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I find the management and all the staff very professional, friendly understanding, helpful and very caring people. I know that all the residents that are in care at Douglas Court receive the best caring that anyone could wish for. I have recommended Douglas Court to a number of people and will continue to do so. I would like to thank them for the care and understanding they have shown to me in these troubled times.

Review from Wendy (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Douglas Court Care Home was recommended to us for my mum. She has dementia and absolutely loves being there. The staff and carers are so kind, caring and wonderful to my mum and to myself. During what has been a very difficult year, the staff and carers have provided an excellent and safe environment for residents. They organised video calls to start with, then garden visits and have now invested in garden cabins during the cold weather to maintain contact with our loved ones. Well done to everyone at Douglas Court, you are mum’s second family.

Review from Jenny H (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn’t have wished for a better care home for my Dad to spend his last months. Everyone went out of their way to ensure he was well cared for and looked after. He loved the food and the staff and was always as happy as he could be in spite of being parted from his wife. Every effort was made so we could keep in contact with him during these difficult times.

We have been very pleased with how well mum has been looked after since she moved here. All the staff are very attentive and kind. Also, we have been very impressed with how well staff monitor mums condition and respond very quickly if she needs a doctor. Staff are all very experienced and capable to meet mums' particular needs. I cannot recommend Douglas Court highly enough.

Review from P C (Friend of Resident) published on 30 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

From the moment I entered until the moment I left the facility, all staff were personable, polite and enthusiastic, not just towards me but to all residents. I was not expecting to find staff so fully engaged with the residents (some of whom were very limited in their ability to interact). I am certain that what I experienced today was "best practice" for an institution of this nature. Thank you for looking after my friend with such care. God Bless you.

Overall Experience

Douglas Court is a lovely welcoming place. My mum is very content and settled only after one week. She looks better than she's looked in months. The staff are all so kind, friendly and hardworking they obviously care so much about everyone that is resident here. I could not wish for a better place for my mum to be now that she is unable to live at home.
