Skirbeck Court

The care they gave my mum was amazing and me when I visited my Mum I was greated with a smile, Hallo are you ok, would you like a cup of tea if they were not busy, but I knew that I could make myself one. I have been to many fun days Garden Parties and Bingo's my mum couldn't Join in all the activities but there were plenty for the other residents. Nothing is to much trouble for the carers they are all Lovely people

They are excellent with mum cant do enough she seems very happy and loves all the staff she looks better every time we visit

From start to finish of my mother-in-law's stay the staff were kind, helpful and fun. Clean and tidy. Will be using for respite in the future.

My auntie was in Skirbeck Court as a respite resident for a month. The staff (particularly the secretary) were very helpful. My auntie loved the afternoon teas and the chocolate eclairs on a Sunday. The food was very good generally. Staff were helpful in taking the phone to my auntie so that she could take phone calls with family. Lack of ensuite room was a problem when a toilet was required frequently, so sadly had to move to other accommodation.

Thank you for all your care and support.

Thank you all for all you do.

My father has been a resident for 13 months before he passed away peacefully. I cannot put into words the gratitude to all the staff for taking care of our precious Dad. The compassion, care and empathy they all showed was over and above what I expected. Dad enjoyed the activities and making friends with other residents. My sister and I visited Dad regularly and we became part of the 'Skibeck Court family' too - we enjoyed the coffee mornings with Dad and the wonderful Christmas party. Thank you so much Skirbeck Court team. You are amazing.

Since I've been at Skirbeck Court I've been very happy, quite content, people get on well together. It's a peaceful place. There's no bad language (like my previous place) and all the staff are kind and helpful to me. It's a wonderful atmosphere.

For the past 4 months, my husband has been coming into Skirbeck for 1/2 day to give me a break. The care and kindness shown by all the staff is amazing, also beautiful lunches and everywhere is spotless.

When I contracted covid Skirbeck Court continued to care for my husband until I was tested clear for him to return. We will certainly use Skirbeck Court for future respite. Both my husband and I would like to thank the staff.

My dear Pa is in St. John's. Dad is happy. We are all happy. Management and staff are extremely approachable. It is quite clear working in the care industry is very taxing and demanding. The person-centered care to me, is very evident. Nothing is too much trouble, All the staff is very kind and accommodating. For example, in Sept we celebrated Dad's Birthday and Mum and Dad's Anniversary on the same day, here at the home! A first for all of our family. The staff were absolutely brilliant. We were all amazed at how they fussed Mum and Dad with care and gifts and well wishes. The positive transition from staff into this new 'Rhythm' has helped us all adjust, big time. I truly thank God for St John's staff's top-notch care. Going into a care home became a very new and daunting reality for Dad, Mum and all in our family this year. However, all staff have helped us regain 'normality' in a very public space. Thank you all very much. Please know you are all very appreciated.

I came initially for a months respite care but after 2 weeks I knew this was going to be my home. I am so very happy, content and feel safe and supported here.

At 96 Mum enjoys her life at Skirbeck and makes the most of her time with the activities available.

My mum has been in Skirbeck Court for nearly a year and I have seen a wonderful difference in her. She has dementia and was really struggling at home which was making her very frustrated and unhappy. Initially, she was tearful during the first few weeks but the staff were so lovely with her and made her feel part of their family. I do not live close by but visit as often as I can and Mum always has a smile on her face. The staff, both carers and office, are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. The home is always clean and tidy and the food is all freshly prepared. Lots of entertainment too. Thank you to all of you.

All of the staff are friendly and helpful and the home is always clean and tidy. There are plenty of activities for the residents if they want to take part. A lot of attention is given to decorating the dining room and reception area when celebrating/remembering different dates - Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Remembrance Day, etc, with the residents often helping to make the trimmings, and they are made to feel very special on their birthdays. There is also a very attractive and well-tended garden that the residents enjoy. My relation has lived in Skirbeck Court for over a year, has settled in well and is happy there.

I do feel more confident knowing my husband is being looked after to a very high standard.

Skirbeck Court is a lovely friendly care home, from the moment my mother went in there she felt at home. The staff are all amazing, they go above & beyond for the residents. They have fun activities & lots of entertainment. I would highly recommend this wonderful care home.

I have been visiting this home for about a year and a half because I am a private carer and two of my clients have had to come here as more care was needed. The staff are always polite and welcoming nothing is too much trouble. Always offered drinks, and biscuits shortly after arrival and the manager is kind, friendly and always listens to anything you have to say. The home is clean, tidy and smells lovely and fresh at all times, could not ask for more in a home.

Well done to all of you. Fantastic love you all and can't thank you enough.

Found the resident to be very well looked after and treated with respect.
