My mum is very well looked after in a homely, happy and calm environment. The staff always show respect to the residents and treat them with care and a positive attitude. Both staff and management have taken the time to get to know my mum and understand her, which enables them to monitor her health very closely and which has made her feel secure in an unfamiliar environment. As a family, we are made to feel very welcome when we visit, and any concerns or issues have been dealt with promptly.

Since my wife became a resident (Sept 2017) I have gradually come to understand and appreciate how a care home operates within what is achievable and practical. Getting the balance right is not easy a few manage to get even close to ideal. In my personal opinion, Scalford Court Care Home has excelled in getting it right in each of the critical areas namely very good and approachable management, compassionate care, excellent healthy food and outstanding mixes of organised activities for the residents. The home is staffed by lovely caring folk who interface with all the residents creating such a wonderful atmosphere of humour and intelligent help where needed. They have to sometimes cope with both physical and mental stress but from my experience are always able to generate laughter in any suitable situation. The kitchen procedures a lovely mix of very tasty food to appeal to most appetites but the staff are hidden away in the kitchen but nevertheless are critical in the care process.
I personally believe that the activities arranged at Scalford Court are second to none and again have major positive effects on both staff and residents. The two ladies who organise these features obviously put in a lot of hard work under sometimes challenging conditions but always with wonderful humour.

You gave our aunt an extra five years of living and a very happy home to live in. She was content and well cared for and her family were always made more than welcome. We cannot thank you enough or recommend you more highly.

From day one my husband settled in and felt at home in Scalford Court. He had a cheeky personality and a naughty sense of humour. The staff were brilliant at joining in with him, therefore, enabling him to retain this to the very end.
The ambience of the home was perfect for him. He enjoyed his food and ate well. If required, a doctor was called for immediately. The care he received took so much worry and anxiety away from myself and our daughter. He enjoyed his final years. I have no doubt he lasted as long as he did because he was not only cared for but cherished and happy. Thank you Scalford Court.

My mother was very well looked after by the staff at Scalford Court. She was always shown courtesy and kindness throughout her 5-year stay. Her personal hygiene was always taken care of, including having her hair done by a professional hairdresser. She thoroughly enjoyed the meals that were prepared for her, and her family were always welcome to join her. There were activities for the residents to join in every day and outside speakers as well as visits from the children of a local primary school.
The staff and management were very approachable and friendly. I would recommend Scalford Court without reservation.

My relative is well looked after by staff in the home. Residents are well fed and kept clean and tidy and are encouraged to join in activities. Staff are very approachable and any concerns are dealt with immediately. I would certainly recommend this care home.
