Skirbeck Court

My mother has been a resident here for 3 years. The staff have always been respectful to her and very supportive of me. If they have any health concerns they never hesitate to contact her GP, sadly mums condition hs altered significantly. She has since been assessed and now requires nursing care. I am very sad that she has to leave Skirbeck Court.

The staff are friendly and listen to you. Very understanding. Build good rapport with service users.

This has got to be the nicest care home I've ever been to. I've already recommended this home to several people.

A secure and happy aura is always present.

Thank you.

My aunt, cousin and husband have all been residents - all very happy to be living in Skirbeck Court.

I found the carers cheerful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly. A lovely, happy atmosphere. Residents seem content. My first impression was there was no care home "smell"!. I feel my mother is really happy there and has become more social since being there.

My sister's days are well structured with set mealtimes in the dining room with nutritional and varied meals cooked on site. There are many organised activities - bingo, quizzes, church services, visiting vocalists, etc. The enclosed gardens give fresh air and a place to enjoy flowers, seating, vegetable patch, birds and squirrels. Although small, rooms are clean with towels changed daily. There is a good laundry service. Above all, the staff are caring with a sense of humour. They are aware of the varied needs of residents and deal with any problems sympathetically.

My brother and his wife were both in Skirbeck Court. They are cared for really well. The staff are very good. The food is good with a good choice. I have always found the home very clean and comfortable. They try to make it a home from home. Well done for all who work there.

Skirbeck Court is a very friendly and homely home. Everyone is always welcoming. All the staff are kind, caring and give respect to my Mum. This is always good for me to see as a daughter (being an only one). The staff always have time to have a chat to my Mum and also to myself, when you have no choice but to have your Mum in care. In Mum's care, because of dementia, it really means so much. I really do have all confidence. They all will give my Mum the best care when things changed, and I couldn't carry on giving Mum the care I had done, for some years in the past.

My Mum is so well looked after by the staff and is cared for. The home is very clean and tidy and made as homely as possible. We would recommend this home if anybody was looking for care for their parents.

All the staff, from kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance, carers, office and manager, provide excellent care and service to all the residents of Skirbeck Court. Special praise for the Activities Coordinator, who provides varied and fun sessions. I would not want my mother to be cared for anywhere else. Such confidence in Skirbeck Court.

I am more than happy with the care my mother in law received. The staff are very attentive and caring and go beyond what is required to ensure that all the residents consider Skirbeck Court to be their home and not just where they are staying. They are treated with dignity and compassion. The food is 1st class and the place itself is spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend. 5 stars.

A very friendly Home, with excellent staff, very caring and helpful. We were very happy when mum moved into Skirbeck Court, her care was excellent and she was very happy in her new surroundings.

My mother who has been a resident in Skirbeck Court for over 6 years has received throughout this time an excellent level of care. As I live a considerable distance away I have had a real peace of mind that she is being well looked after and receiving a level of care according to her increasing needs. It is friendly, professional in its care that is carried out to a high standard where despite difficult circumstances at times, nothing is too much trouble.

My friend has resided at this care home for almost 2 years and I have always found the staff friendly towards both residents and other staff members. The manager and assistant manager are both very approachable and put the needs of the resident first and foremost every time. They provide lots of activities for the residents which they encourage all residents to take part in but also respecting their wishes if they decline. The home is always clean and tidy and well presented. The excellent care staff do everything possible to ensure that all residents are well cared for and everyone works as a team. Excellent cleaning and administration staff. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

I have been twice to see my friend and both times we have been made very welcome by the staff who were very friendly and helpful. The home itself was very clean and it smelt very nice. I came from Sheffield to see my friend and have been well catered both times.

Consequently, I personally rate this as one of the best care homes in Boston.

They help her with all needs and encourage her to join in all the activities. I would recommend this care home to everybody.

I find the food adequate/good but a larger menu choice would be welcome.
