Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home

Very happy with mothers care, especially as she is visually impaired and very deaf.

We have been very happy with the care given to our mother.

My husband has been living in Cookridge Court for almost 5 years and has always been happy. The staff are excellent but have been brilliant over the past few months. The food and activities are good. We have no complaints at all, the carers have become friends who have been much missed.

I find the care staff at Cookridge Court to be very friendly and very professional. They provide the very best of care for my mum, who often tells me she loves it here. I have a lot of confidence in the staff and really appreciate all their hard work. Thanks to all involved in caring for my mum.

Cookridge Court is safe and welcoming. Care and supporting staff are friendly, caring and have a good understanding of my mother's specific care needs. The premises and rooms are maintained to a good standard and the manager, together with team leaders and seniors, are helpful and willing to work with the family to address care needs wherever possible. Prior to COVID, there were regular, well-attended events, bringing staff, residents, family and friends together, helping to build and maintain the pleasant atmosphere around the home. Since COVID, there has been good, regular contact with staff and the current visiting arrangements are much appreciated given the difficult circumstances. I feel my mother is safe, well cared for and would be extremely likely to recommend Cookridge Court to others.

It has been a lovely experience to see my mother in the garden at Cookridge Court Care Home after 3 1/2 months of lockdown. She looked well and happy and the staff were very caring and supportive. We were absolutely delighted to be able to visit.

Cookridge Court is a really lovely care home. All the rooms are very nicely decorated and very welcoming. My mum had a short stay here for respite as she has dementia and my dad needs to have a break. The staff are really caring and nothing is too much trouble. One carer I talked to was very caring towards my Dad as he got quite upset when he was visiting, she even went over her care duties to make an effort to inform me. This is one place I will definitely use again if we need to use a care home. Thank you all.

Staff very helpful and approachable.

Cookridge Court is a delightful place to stay. The staff cannot do enough to be helpful.

My mum is very settled and has been very relaxed and happy since the first day she arrived. The staff are very caring and supportive.

How blessed we were to discover this outstandingly good care home.

My dad always enjoys coming here for his respite holidays! The food is always good and he always makes a friend or two! I know I can safely leave him here in their more than capable hands.

I highly recommend Cookridge Court both for the care provided to my mother and for the comfortable surroundings of the home. My mother is 87 years of age and has dementia, we needed a week of respite care for her as my father is her carer and was not coping. It was the first time in 67 years of marriage that they had been apart so the family were worried about how she would cope without him. All the staff at Cookridge Court were so welcoming and understanding and made her stay as comfortable as possible. I rang up nearly every day to check on her and I got put straight through to her main carer who put my mind at rest. We will definitely be arranging another respite stay for my mother when my father needs a rest.

From the day my family and I came to look around Cookridge Court we were so impressed with the quality and care around the home. Everything was spotless and we received a warm welcome. After 4 months of looking around other homes to take our precious mother, I knew Cookridge Court was the one. The staff are all so caring and cater to every need of the residents.

The care my mum receives is of a very high standard. I feel very supported by the whole team and I can always approach the senior with anything. Nothing ever feels too much trouble. Overall this is a great home and I would highly recommend.

The staff here all communicate really well and are all experienced nurses. They all know what is going on which makes it easy to talk to any one member of staff. You get the sense that they do really care about the residents and their wellbeing. The residents are all really well cared for and that is clear to see. It is a very guilt-laden and worrying thing having to place your loved one in care because you struggle to be able to do it yourself, especially when they are suffering with dementia and dying before your eyes. However, we feel really comfortable with the care here and that she is fed hot meals, is clean, not lonely and most of all as happy as she can be.

My sister and I looked after our sick father ourselves for two years 24/7 after he had a stroke which damaged his brain and also sadly caused vascular dementia. We checked out many care homes in Leeds and Harrogate and this care home, along with its staff and residents, are the best by far. For your loved ones - who sadly need to move into residential care - please don't hesitate to visit this care home first!

I knew a little about Cookridge Court as my sister’s mother-in-law was resident there and the family had seemed satisfied with the care she was receiving. However, my sisters and I looked at several alternatives, and for the most part were more than disappointed with what we found. Mother was therefore placed in Cookridge and I could not be more pleased with the level of care and attention she received. All of the staff, without exception, were caring and helpful and in fact became friends of the family over the twelve months Mother was resident. I have no hesitation in recommending Cookridge Court to others who have to make the difficult decision of who to entrust with their loved one’s care.

Mum was a resident of Cookridge Court, Leeds, before she sadly passed away in January. We looked at eight homes before we chose Cookridge and we feel we made the right decision. Mum was treated with respect and dignity and it was evident that all the staff at the home truly care for the residents and go above and beyond what is required of them. The staff get to know the resident and they are made to feel they are part of a family community. We felt any concerns we might have were listened to and nothing was too much trouble.

The care and kindness my mother received while she was a resident at Cookridge Court Residential home were excellent. The staff and management, even down to kitchen staff and maintenance were all kind, compassionate and caring people not only to my Mum but also to her family. We could not praise them highly enough and would definitely recommend this Care home to anyone.
