It was a difficult decision for my sister and me to move Mum from her home but she needed more care. Thomas Henshaw was the best home we had seen and came with many recommendations including from the ambulance man who cared for Mum after a fall!
From the moment Mum arrived she was treated so well. The staff are friendly the environment is welcoming and gently buzzing and the sense of community is very evident.
Mum went straight into the bright dining room while we got her room ready. After lunch she had her hair done and arrived at her new room feeling great. Any settling in issues we have had have been listened to and dealt with quickly and the team at Thomas Henshaw have really taken the time to get to know Mum.
She does miss home and is a little confused but she is so much better at Thomas Henshaw living in a caring, happy community with excellent facilities and daily activities, than she was sitting on her own most days.
Thank you to the fantastic team.

My mum who has Alzheimer's moved into Thomas Henshaw court a few days ago so early days but from the moment she arrived I can't praise the staff enough. Each and every one of them has welcomed her with open arms, full of smiles and ready to help with anything.

After a lengthy hospital stay my brother needed a place to support him, whilst allowing him to retain his independence. After a search of care homes in the area it seemed like Thomas Henshaw Court was the perfect fit, The individual flats are well thought out, bright and spacious and the communal areas are clean and welcoming. My brother has a a large bed/sitting room, a small kitchen with sink, fridge, microwave and kettle, and a generous wet room.
Since the beginning of his residency he has been supported, cared for and wonderfully well looked after by the incredible staff. His special dietary needs have been met, his medications overseen and his other support needs have been handled with great attention to detail and kindness.

My brother has now lived at Thomas Henshaw Court for many years, he considers it his home and the staff are like his extended family. We are very grateful to know he is safe and has all the support he needs.

After having to look for somewhere for my mum to to be cared for was a daunting process. It wasn't easy letting go of everything I was used too and putting my trust into a home with staff who didn't know mum.

After having to look for somewhere for my mum to to be cared for was a daunting process. It wasn't easy letting go of everything I was used too and putting my trust into a home with staff who didn't know mum.
How can you find the right home with good staffing numbers which covered her care needs as well as an activity program. How can you pack a life time of belongings into 1 room and have your own bathroom with walk in shower and kitchette and how could I trust somewhere wash and iron her clothes like I did.
Thomas Henshaw Court has exelled my expectations and it's hard to put into words how I feel.
ALL staff are dedicated compassionate and caring and go above and beyond and are there for both mum and me. Mum gets cuddles, banter, laughs, outings, activities, lovely food, perfectly laundered clothes and reassurance when she's upset and confused.

I went to the care home to celebrate Mother's Day this year, with my mum who is a resident there, she has dementia so taking her out with my young children, can be very stressful. The staff put on the most amazing celebration, the dining room was beautifully decorated, we had a lovely high tea, with table service and lots of treats. It was so relaxing, I only had to turn up and everything was done for us. There was even a gift for every resident on their table, there was a table reserved for those who had booked, it was like going out to a fancy restaurant but better, as mum was safe and relaxed and we could all just enjoy our time together. The staff are incredible so hard working with so much energy, I don't know how they do it, they genuinely love their job. Thank you to all the staff for putting the event on and working so hard to make it special for everyone, I really appreciate it and had the best time and we will definitely be booking next year if it's on.

I find Thomas Henshaw Court to be a warm, cosy, comfortable residence. The flat my mum lives in is self contained, spacious & clean I have never found another residence to compare with what is offered here. Staff are wonderful, friendly & light hearted. Nothing is too much trouble. Mum is encouraged to go down & mix with her fellow residents but if she prefers, can stay in her room & has food brought to her. I feel I can leave her here knowing she is safe & well looked after, with dignity.

Thomas Henshaw Court have been fantastic at looking after mother after a very difficult couple of months for her. Initially very resistant to going into care she now regularly joins in with the many activities on offer and nothing seem too much trouble for the staff. All staff members are caring and always cheery, with enormous patience and kindness. We could not be happier with the care that mum is receiving.

As a family we cannot speak too highly of the care my mother has received, especially so when she was poorly recently. I know she considers all the staff as her friends, who always have time for a chat or kind word. She is happy in her new 'home' where she feels safe, secure and valued. Personally, as a frequent visitor, I am greeted warmly and with respect. Unlike other homes I have visited, Thomas Henshaw has a warm and homely atmosphere which is evident as soon as the door is open.

When viewing the home we were shown a room which we really liked and was advised was free. When being admitted, my relative was given a different room which was not as nice and requires painting urgently. We were not advised until we visited that the room had been changed.

My mum joined the care home in January. Since moving in, she has settled in well. The staff are friendly and very supportive of her and acknowledge her needs. Her room is lovely and spacious and she particularly likes it as she can entertain visitors regularly. In February there was a Covid outbreak, so there weren't many activities taking place which was disappointing but understandable. The food is excellent with plenty of choice. Mum really enjoys meal times!
