As soon as you arrive, you'll see why people consider Connell Court a second family. A highly-trained team of dedicated and experienced staff works hard to ensure that the people in their care, and their friends and family, feel truly at home.
Staff encourage residents to live the life they want to lead: shared living/dining areas provide opportunities to interact with the tight-knit community, whilst they also encourage independence and pursuit of individual interests, through access to numerous activities as well as support with specific medical requirements.
Connell Court is close to lots of local amenities.
The activities team prepares a weekly schedule promoting physical, mental and social stimulation, offering group activities, as well as 1 to1 time. They value the stories and experiences of all residents in their care, getting to know each individual, their achievements and hobbies and will adapt their interests into the activities they provide.
In addition to a diverse diary of daily activities that take place in the home, they also focus on themed days, afternoon outings, local entertainment in the home, as well as meaningful moments. Every occasion is celebrated at Connell Court. Whether its a cream tea afternoon, a Ukelele lesson, or a talk on Charles Dickens, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The staff were so kind, and caring and I could not have asked for any more to ease her suffering and make her feel comfortable and peaceful.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, it was a pleasure to care for mum. I will pass your kind comments on to the team.

My mother was a resident at Connell Court for nearly 3 years until her passing recently. She made many friends here; both fellow residents and staff.
Connell Court became a hugely important part of my life during this time with me attending the various social events in their busy calendar.
The management and staff are exceptional and I am unlikely to meet such caring individuals like them again. One person in particular stands out as going above and beyond: Business manager J.Mc was my first point of contact at Connell Court. She showed great compassion to my mum when giving her a tour of what would become her new home. Understandably, mum was nervous about leaving the family home behind after nearly 60 years.
I will never forget Connell Court. Who knows what the future holds. If I ever need residential care, there's only one place I can think of.
Thank you so much for your kind words I will pass this on to the team
My Dad who is 101 years old currently lives alone and I normally care for him. This year whilst I was away on an annual holiday, respite care for him was provided by Connell Court. Dad had reservations beforehand as he is a fiercely independent individual, however the greatest compliment that I can...
All the staff made his stay a wonderful and enjoyable experience.
Thank you for your review, it was a pleasure to have dad stay with us. We are really pleased he enjoyed his stay, and he got to experience the Llandudno trip. We hope to see you again soon.

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.

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.
Thank you for your positive feedback I will share with the team

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.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and positive feedback I will share with the team
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...
Thanks to all the staff who do difficult work all the time but step up even more when times are difficult!

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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us some feedback we were privileged to have been have to care for your lovely mum
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...
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.

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 .
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us so soon after the loss of your dear mum we really appreciate the effort

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.
Thank you so much for such kind words and positive feed back, we loved having him here he was a great part of Connell Court, I will pass on your kind words to team.

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!
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.

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.

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.
We always enjoy our family events and glad you did too I will pass on to the team

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.
