We can drop in at any time and be welcomed which means a lot.
You have taken over looking after my wife of 53 years for me as I kept going into hospital (short term).

The rooms are of a good size and well furnished. The food is good and wholesome. Plenty of help from staff to assist. Staff are caring and polite when helping the residents with dignity and sensitivity all the time.
The building is always clean and the furniture comfortable. Residents are always well cared for in a safe, secure setting. I would be happy to recommend the home to others.
A safe and clean home. Staff are all very caring and attentive with a good sense of humour. We have seen a huge improvement in the health and well-being of our mother since she became a resident at Douglas Court.

Douglas Court provides a caring environment for all that are lucky enough to reside here. The open door policy that allows full time working relatives like me, the flexibility to visit at any time on any day is incredibly valuable to me. The encouragement of younger family members and even pets to visit enables new memories to be formed even when old memories are being lost.
Food, staff and manager are very good. The activities every day are very good.
Trips our in the minibus. If I had to go in a home I would choose Douglas Court.

Been in numerous nursing homes and the care in Douglas Court is exceptional and when I'm older would be honoured to be accepted in there. The staff are all fantastic, especially management.
