Good layout, so not to confuse the elderly. Good/excellent facilities with ensuite, decent sized rooms. Furnishings/decor in some areas looking a little "tired", but only a minor point.

We picked Spen Court and in the six weeks he was there until passing he was looked after with great care, compassion and patience. We were also looked after by the staff who went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them.

I do believe the TV in the lounge should be on during the day I have visited my mother from time to time when no TV or radio are not on for redents. All residents just seem to sleep which I dont think it is good for them nothing to stimulate there minds there is activities but not long enough to keep them stimulated, my mother does like to meet other residents also likes to watch TV during the day so she dosnt like to sit in her room during the day

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. Music is playing for the majority of the days throughout the home however we have had occasion where by the music system was not working correctly, this has since been mended. Each resident has access to their own televisions in their bedrooms so this gives them the freedom to choose if they would like to watch television or not . Activities are tailored to the residents choices and we provide activities on a daily basis of which the residents can choose to participate. All the staff work hard at providing a varied choice of activities to meet the needs of all our residents. Thank you again for your comments of which I will pass on to the activities team to review.
Keep it up.

In the many years my mum has lived here she has always been treated with dignity & respect from all members of staff whatever their position. This has continued as her condition has deteriated.
