My aunt is 96. She has dementia and is virtually non verbal. However she is very happy and comfortable. When the staff approach her she greets them with her beautiful smelie. Today I went to visit and a carer was helping her eat and drink. They even had some lovely juicy watermelon for her. If there
is anything she needs a receive a personal friendly phone call. Nothing is too much trouble!

Always find the staff extremely helpful and friendly and have to make special mention of one member of staff who was very helpful and obviously the residents found her so and it was nice to see her interacting with a residents who had done some colouring for her. A fine example of a kind and compationate
lady. Thanks for delivering the newspaper to my Brother

Review from J B (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was with Turnpike Court for 2 1/2 years. As dementia eroded her character and slowly took away the lady we loved, the staff looked after her with care and dignity. She enjoyed her trips out and the activities within the home, these helped keep her stimulated and busy.
The home allowed flexibility
when visiting and welcomed mums beloved dog to visit too.
The staff were attentive and kept us informed regarding any concerns or changes.
The food suited mum too, as she managed to put some weight on during her time in Turnpike too (which was a welcome relief).
The home took good care of her to the end and were kind, supportive and respectful to myself and brother. They offer practical help too, at a difficult time.
I'm glad we chose Turnpike for Mum, it was right for her, the staff were kind and gentle. Overall it was appropriate for her longer term declining health and function regarding dementia.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but praise for the staff at Turnpike Court. My mother lived there for the last two-and-a-half years of her life and was treated with nothing but dignity and respect. Her individual needs regarding her dietary requirements and her desire to spend periods of time in her own room were met
to her satisfaction. She formed good relationships with the staff and although her dementia meant that sometimes her behaviour could be difficult, this never affected the compassionate and understanding care that she received. Thank you.

Dad was a resident in Turnpike Court from September 2023 until 3 days before he sadly died in January 2025. Staff were always warm, friendly and welcoming and the unit had a very 'family' feel. Residents were treated with dignity and respect and care was personalised. Activities were well planned and
organised, and there was a variety of group and one-to-one activities and trips out. Dad was extremely happy at Turnpike Court.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would just like to let people know that if they are looking for a Rest home Turnpike Court is the place to take your loved ones, I cannot express how amazing the staff/secretaries are and the management team. Nothing is too much for my mum and they are always checking on mum even when she's not there
(mum stays for respite).
It's not just a care home it's a family and they take exceptional care of Mum nothing is too much.
They are only a phone call away day or night if I need care for Mum. I couldn't be happier knowing Mum is cared for just the way I do. Mum is so happy when she stays and all the girls smile when they see her and say "Hi, would you like a coffee?". Mum seems so happy when she's there. So if you need care for a loved one Turnpike Court is the place to go you won't be disappointed.
Thank you to all the staff for being so caring and always being there for Mum and I.
100% fantastic service.
Kind regards.

We took my sister to the shops and returned approximately 4:30pm after quite an experience of shopping. We went to a local shopping centre for the first time mainly to shop for my sister to get Christmas presents - lift was broken - no cafe. We returned cold and thirsty. When we got back to the home,
a buffet was taking place with entertainment later. We were asked to join in and were given refreshments and sat with my sister for a couple of hours. This was very pleasant and very much appreciated.

The care my father receives is excellent. All of the staff have taken the time and effort to get to know and understand my father and his needs. His medical needs are all well considered and taken care of which has given me a massive relief. I appreciate the staff being so friendly when I visit and
updating me with all information required as next of kin. Thank you so much!

The manager and the team were able to take my mum as a resident when other care homes in the area could not or would not, due to Mum's dementia and behaviour. The manager said this would not be an issue and she was correct. The home looked after my mum with care and compassion, in a warm, friendly environment.
Full compliments to everyone at the home.

My mum spent the last year and a bit of her life living in the warm, caring and friendly environment of Turnpike Court. The staff knew her as an individual and cared for her knowing what she needed. Her end-of-life care was very good and staff looked after her with care and sensitivity. We were given
great support by the staff at this time which helped us through a difficult time.

My mother (now 96) has been well cared for approximately three years. She has got on well with her carers and enjoyed the food and comradeship throughout her stay. Her room was quite spacious and very comfortable. She particularly enjoyed the en suite facilities. The staff were very friendly and my
mother enjoyed a pleasant friendly relationship with many of them.

I think the commodity that was most noticeable at Turnpike was kindness. I wanted to say that because I think that anybody new to this system feels that fear of handing a relative over to strangers. These people do a difficult job and through challenging times (my mum was there from April 2020) and
mum felt that she was amongst friends more so with the staff than even the fellow residents. Thank you.

Can't be faulted, Mum could sometimes be awkward (I know) and demanding but it wasn't safe on her own at home. I often thought of the carers as heroes, told them too. Very caring and dignified in her last days with us. Thank you all.

My husband has been a resident at Turnpike Court for just one year, in the dementia side of the home. It has been a difficult year adapting to the transition but the staff at Turnpike Court have gone above and beyond with their care and consideration for both myself and my husband. He is loved and well
cared for, which gives me peace of mind. They keep me informed of any changes and always update me. He is clean, tidy and eats well. The home itself is well kept, activities always seem to be happening. I would warmly recommend the home and thank the lovely staff for always having his best interests at heart. Thank you. My only comment would be of Minister Care not upgrading the garden seating, which badly needs doing.

My mother became a permanent resident in March 2023 having had a short period of convalescence in the summer of 2022 (6 weeks) following a long stay in hospital. Mum's experience in 2022 led to her asking if Turnpike could be an option for her permanent care. We both find the staff friendly, attentive
and on top of all medical and care needs. Mum's health is poor and unpredictable. She suffers with Parkinson's, heart failure and also has gastric problems. She has needed two hospital visits during her stay. Staff are always quick to respond, get medical attention quickly and ensure Mum is monitored appropriately. We have been impressed so far. The home itself is a little tired in terms of decor. It needs makeover, but the staff are excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.685)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.685) out of 10 for Turnpike Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.685 for Turnpike Court is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.685
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Turnpike Court is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
