I had a very pleasant stay at Connell Court. The staff (are) were very pleasant, kind and caring. The food was always adequate and tasty. The staff without exception were excellent.

My mum moved from her previous carehome to Connell Court 6 weeks ago. She has settled well and seems to be enjoying the activities on offer and the choice and quality of her meals. She always appears well cared for and the staff seem lovely with her.

Overall Experience
Connell Court was the answer to my families prayers,Iwas in despair trying to find a suitable home for my 98 year old ,blind mother after she had suffered from a serious fall and a prolonged stayin hospital.
From the moment I stepped inside the home I was impressed by the warm,welcoming atmosphere.The attractive,spotlessly clean environment and the compassionate caring approach towards my mother demonstrated by the management team and the care staff.
My Mother felt safe and secure in her lovely ,bright room.Thediligence and commitment of the carers is to be commended.The home adopts a holistic approach towards its residents to ensure that their emotional,social and physical needs are catered for at all times.
Connell Court is totally inclusive even though my Motherwas blind she was encouraged to participate with support in the wide range of activities and entertainment on offer.

The home ensures that all it's residents have the best quality of life in their final years.

Review from Joyce Hassey T (Sister of Resident) published on 12 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I moved my brother into Connell Court in December 2025. He had a major heart attack 4 years ago although doing well we felt it was time he lived closer to our family and received additional daily support.
We knew of the excellent reputation of Connell Court so it was a very easy decision. I have to say they did not disappoint us. Absolutely the Best!
My brother settled in quickly and loved interacting with the residents plus enjoying the many activities offered.
Management and staff were extremely caring and offered so much support not only in making my brother feel at home but also making me feel we had made the right choice and he was going to be well cared for.
Unfortunately due to a sudden illness his stay was only 3 months as he passed away. Due to the quick response from the nursing staff he received the medical attention needed immediately.

I will be forever grateful to Head of Home Ms. Harvey along with her management team Jenny and Mark plus the entire Connell Court team.

Overall Experience
The care and understanding Mum received over the few years she lived in Connell Court were excellent. Unfortunately her health worsened over the last year but the staff helped her through this with patience and sensitivity until she passed away peacefully. They helped Mum keep her dignity and know they would always be there for her.

Thanks to all the staff who do difficult work all the time but step up even more when times are difficult!

Review from Dave B (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother lived at Connell Court for the best part of three years. I found the care and attention she received to be superb. Although I could not attend as much as my siblings due the distances involved, I spoke to my mum at least once a week. She always had good things to say about the home and staff. In fact, many times during a videocall she was asked by members of staff if she wanted tea, coffee or any refreshments which was lovely to witness.

Sadly, my mum passed in November. The staff at Connel Court couldn't have been better. I stayed the night in a room close by to my mum and lost count of the times I was offered refreshments! During my mother's last hours, the staff were so supportive but at the same time professional and dignified. Thank you so much for making a difficult time easier and for looking after our mum so well.

Review from Sue G (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
To my wonderful mum, Connell court was quite simply 'home' where she felt respected, cherished and cared for. The incredible staff at Connell Court ensured that her physical, emotional and spiritual needs were met right up to the time when she sadly passed away. They also extended that same care to her family and made sure we were fed , watered and had a place to lay our head in her final days.
The care that she received was truly outstanding and it was also rare day indeed when mum didn't say what a lovely meal she had eaten that day! Nothing was ever too much trouble! You are all doing an amazing job.

Thank you all so much for looking after my mum with such loving care.

Review from Rhian B (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My experience of Connell Court has covered just over 5 years. Firstly for my mother then mother in law .
Both mothers received the best care possible during their stays even after prolonged hospital stays when they were received back despite needing greater care. Connell Court had become their home and they were welcomed back to their family there , the staff adjusted to their extra needs .
My mother was kept safe there during Covid .
Both mothers enjoyed their time there knowing they were safe , cared for and entertained wonderfully .
We were always popping in for parties , afternoon teas , cheese &wine dos , everything that people in their own homes might miss out on . The garden is also a wonderful space for residents to enjoy on their own or with help .
I would not hesitate to recommend to other friends for their family member and often have .
Well done to all the CC team , you work well together and for your residents.

Thank you all .

Review from Clare T (Friend of Resident) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My friend lived at Connell Court for about two and a half years and in that time he had a new lease of life at a stage when he did not expect it! The team at Connell Court provided a new home for him at a crucial time in his life. They were warm, caring, professional and always went the extra mile to look after him. He was able to make new friends, live in a safe environment and have all his needs met and it made a huge difference to my friend's life. There were trips out, social activities, no national day/feast day or occasion goes by unmarked without a celebration of some kind! Residents can choose how involved to get, with their own space to retreat to if needed. The home is well organised, well maintained, homely and comfortable. All the team were friendly, professional and supportive and during my friend's final weeks they could not have been more caring and supportive to him, me and my family. I would highly recommend this care home.

Reply from Anna Harvey, Home manager at Connell Court

Review from Keith B (Son of Resident) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother Veronica had been a very happy resident at Connell Court for past nearly 3 years. She recently passed away after being cared for in Connell Court during her final illness.

Mum always referred to Connell Court as 'home', and repeatedly told all the family that she was so lucky to be there. All members of the staff, from every department in the care home, treated my mum with love and respect. When she passed away, the carers were as sad as we were! I feel that the staff at Connell Court always tried to go the extra mile to help residents feel they are part of a big family. I would happily recommend this home to anyone worrying about entrusting their loved ones to full time care. It was reassuring to know that mum was being cared for even when we weren't able to be there with her. Thank you all!

Reply from Anna Harvey, Home manager at Connell Court

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us at such an emotional time for you and your family, we really appreciate that, we were very fortunate to have the privilege of being able to care for mum, she was a true lady, i will pass your lovely comments on to the team.

Dad has been in Connell Court for respite care a couple of times and enjoyed his stay so they helped him make the decision to move in as a permanent resident. He's settled in very well and is receiving excellent care in a lovely environment. Top class residential care. Thank you.

Staff throughout are friendly, efficient, caring and supportive at all times. My relative does not have one complaint. She is happy and knows that she is in a safe, caring environment. Any health issues are dealt with immediately. We are kept informed. First rate activities on a regular basis, as is the decorations when celebrating an occasion.

Review from A H (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff have been so kind and lovely and really helped Dad settle in. Friendship and care are important to Dad and he has received both in abundance. The staff take into account interests and hobbies. Dad enjoys the weekly Scrabble tournament and other games. Dad loves the garden and even planted bulbs. The friendly neighbourhood cat is a firm favourite too! As a life-long Christian, Dad has been blessed beyond measure with the provision of services and pastoral support. Dad has enjoyed taking part in services, doing readings etc. - residents are very much encouraged to get involved with activities if they would like to. After 3 months Dad has made some lovely friends and especially enjoys all the meals (and yummy cakes and puddings!) - he has gained more confidence and mobility as well as putting on weight. As daughters we are not local and it has been so reassuring for us that Dad is so well cared for and looked after in every way.

Cannot recommend Connell Court highly enough

My father came in for respite care. He has been really well looked after. He has made bonds with fellow residents and us very happy here. The home has a "homely" atmosphere, and the rooms are lovely. My father loves the home-cooked food and enjoys participating in the activities.

I attended the summer fair on Saturday 19th July.

It was such a warm, friendly and well organised event. Everybody seemed to be having fun. It was a great opportunity to speak to carers, support staff, acquaintancies and family, in a warm and friendly environment. It just adds to my belief that Dad is being really well looked after, stimulated and encouraged in all he does under the exceptional care that Connell Court provides.

Overall Experience
Connell Court is a well organised care setting with effective communication between different parts of the care team. The employment of two activity co ordinates says a lot about where the focus for service delivery lies.
Carers are responsive and respectful to service users and their families. Mealtimes are well organised with catering staff asking each resident their preference for meals. The option to eat alone in their room is available.

There are open events held frequently throughout the year as well as the opportunity for people to go out on a coach trip or stay more local when they go out.

Review from A P (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The care that my mother has had from the staff in Connell Court over the last 5+ years has been excellent.
Their encouragement to her in her first years there, encouraging her to walk, to keep going was reassuring. The events and activities were always well done, respectful and enjoyable for my mother.
In her later years as her needs increased, their attention to detail, personal care, and encouragement reassured me completely that she was in a good place with people who cared for her, as well as taking care of her.

I cannot praise the staff highly enough, they work very hard.

Reply from Anna Harvey, Home manager at Connell Court

Thank you for your kind words, we were privileged to be able to care for your mum and particularly in her later weeks when we were also able to support you and the family to remain in the home so you were close by in her last days without having to stay elsewhere.

My mum came to Connell Court for a period of respite care. She was made to feel welcome and part of the community immediately. Everyone has treated here in a friendly and respectful manner. She was encouraged to participate in the range of activities but also given the space and privacy she needs in her new situation. When asked she said all the staff were helpful and kind. She has also said she is less anxious as there is always someone there to help her if she needs help. Her room is always clean, laundry + personal hygiene of an excellent standard. She has now decided to stay at Connell Court permanently.
