Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit my nana weekly and it is a pleasure visiting this care home. The staff are so friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about the residents. The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and enjoy your visit, so much so that even my two children love visiting. I feel relieved that
my nana is in such a lovely place and I'm reassured she is getting the best care. The care home is always immaculate and doesn't feel like an 'old people's home' which makes it so much nicer to visit.
Reply from Karen Francis, GM at Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. I am so happy that your nana is happy at Cookridge Court and that you and your family enjoy visiting her.

We are very pleased with how Mum has settled in since January this year which is very much down to the excellent care she has received from you. Better now that she is receiving full-time care and she is eating and sleeping well. The communal areas are beautifully furnished. The bedrooms could do with
a little refurbishment.

On my visit, I was made to feel very welcome and relaxed by the friendly atmosphere, both the staff and the residents all seemed to be happy and content. It was very satisfying to see my mother-in-law so content and enjoying her new surroundings and company. Thank you very much Cookridge Court for the

I made the very difficult decision of putting to put my mum into a care home. I now realise it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My mum has settled very well, she is more energised and motivated than I have seen in the past few years. This is due to the care, professional and dedicated
staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, whether it's just chatting, entertaining them or encouraging the residents to get involved with the activities. Cookridge Court is the care home I would highly recommend.

Although there were some good care staff at the home, our experience was most disappointing, with my father having a fall on his first night at the home. Unfortunately, he was found unattended and had no working alarm in his bathroom. His care plan, clearly stated he needed help mobilising at all times,
unfortunately, this was not the case. He was found by a member of the family laying in bed in urine-soaked clothing. He was served ham and tuna sandwiches witnessed by family when a strictly vegetarian meal plan had been instructed.

My mum moved into Cookridge Court Care Home in December after being very independent in her flat. She was greeted with a hug and kiss from the staff. Her first comment was this is like a hotel. The care that has been shown towards her has been phenomenal. Whatever she wants or needs is there nothing
has ever been too much. I really can't praise this home enough. You have all made my mum so very welcome.

A wonderful home with very caring staff.
We were quite concerned when Mum first moved here after being very happy in her previous home but any fears we may have had were quickly assuaged and it was a real delight to see how quickly she settled in.
The care is excellent with understanding and compassionate
staff so overall we are delighted to have Mum at Cookridge Court.

The staff at Cookridge Court could not do enough to help. I needed lots of help with my mobility and the staff were there to help whenever I needed them.
Midway through my stay, the staff worked so hard to put on a barbecue for residents and their families. They ensured that all residents who wanted
to attend were given all the help they needed. My family were really impressed with the efforts each and every member of staff put in to ensure the residents enjoyed themselves. I would certainly recommend Cookridge Court to anyone needing respite care for themselves or a loved one

Everything about the home is fantastic. The staff are caring, attentive and always willing to help and go the extra mile for my mum. The activities which are put on for the residents are frequent and entertaining and definitely make a big difference to the lives of the residents. The rooms are great
and a good size and the food is excellent. There are also morning and afternoon snacks, so Mum never goes hungry.

Mum has recently returned to Cookridge Court after three months at another care home. She missed the smaller homely feel of Cookridge Court, the varied activities and social aspects as well as the enthusiastic activities team, caring staff and hands-on management team. Mum lost a dramatic amount of
weight, and within a week, has already put some back on with the fabulous catering staff and monitoring of her food and drink intake. Mum can be anxious, and everyone is supportive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to Cookridge Court after a series of falls at home and a long stay in hospital. We knew he could no longer manage at home, but he was very reluctant to agree to this and saw himself only staying at Cookridge Court for a short stay. However, he very quickly settled in and came to say he
wanted to stay long-term of his own free will. The lovely staff have made him feel happy, safe and secure, and we cannot thank the manager and her staff enough. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They help Dad with his personal care yet let him retain his sense of dignity, and they encourage him to do as much for himself as he can. They have cooked him his favourite foods, which he was missing, and have bought things he has specifically asked for. We are welcome to visit at any time, and so have been able to see him very often. The manager said to me that they would help him live “his best life”, and I can certainly vouch that he is.

Written while some Covid restrictions are in place.
I love the staff here. They are always kind, considerate, and courteous to residents and family. If you ask a question you get a straight answer or they find out and come back to you. If you ask for something to happen, it will, if it is in their
powers.
The food is excellent and seems to be plenty of it. If you take your resident out and you are late back there is always something saved or available on return. The surroundings are great; more like a hotel than a care home. Rooms are nicely decorated and there is no embargo of putting pictures on the wall. General tidiness and cleaning are very good.
We looked at many care homes before committing mum to Cookridge Court's care and I feel it is the only one that I was happy had passed the "Would I be happy living here myself" test. I now feel mum is safe from wandering, something that we couldn't stop when she was at her house.
I would like to see more activities once Covid is over.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was a resident at Cookridge Court for over seven years before sadly she passed away at the grand old age of ninety-nine at the end of June. We looked at several homes for Mum before visiting Cookridge Court and as soon as we looked round we knew we had found the right place for our lovely Mum
to live. Over the years the amazing staff have looked after her with love, care and compassion, treating her with kindness and respecting her dignity. They have always been very professional in their care of her and worked with us to ensure that she was happy and comfortable and involved as much as possible in the activities of the home. During the last very sad weeks when Mum was on end-of-life care they were wonderful to her and to us, helping us through a very difficult time. We can never thank them enough for looking after Mum for us, we definitely made the right choice entrusting our lovely Mum's care to them, we will never forget them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pre-Covid times my father would go to Barchester Cookeridge Care Home for a week respite every six weeks. Just before lockdown, we decided to move him into the care home full time for his own safety. The service, the care, the staff were incredible. I can not fault the way they looked after my father.
Coming from an Indian background they even catered to his dietary needs and even allowed me to have food delivered to him once lockdown restrictions eased a little. The communication I received from the manager and her team was amazing. They would liaise with me at every step and they really looked after my father. My father was very fond of certain staff. The team would really get my father involved in all activities to keep him active. During Covid, they provided video calls and even pod visits for me to visit which was really important as my father as a dementia patient and it was important for him to still have that familiarity and communication with his children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.911 for Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.911
  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 4.99 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home is based on 19 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 96 registered maximum number of service users is 19.2. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.99
  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.
