Review from A A (Mother of Resident) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has recently moved into Sovereign Court. The building is modern and is always clean and tidy ; it is decorated and furnished nicely throughout and has a positive feel about it. The communal rooms have lots of windows and so feel light and airy. The home is small with only 12 residents and so it feels more personal and homely. The staff and Manager are all very friendly and make you feel welcome when you visit and they seem to genuinely care about the residents. I am allowed to bring my daughter's dogs in to visit her which we all really appreciate. The staff have gone out of their way to welcome my daughter into the home and to make the difficult transition there as smooth as possible. My daughter seems very happy in Sovereign Court and says she feels safe and supported there. Thank you.

My dad has been in this care home for roughly 4 or 5 years now and he is treated so well. Everyone one loves my dad and makes sure he is cared for, included. I could not ask for a better care home or better staff to care for my dad and making his final months special.

Overall Experience

Great home. Very individualised person centred care. They have supported me fully with both my physical and mental health and help me integrate into the community by taking me out to appointments and the shops etc. All the staff really care and put a lot of effort in with each resident. Staff joke on in a caring way and it's a lovely positive atmosphere in the home.

He has seemed much happier in himself ever since he has been at Sovereign Court. He is very well cared for and the staff seem to sense exactly how much to help him and when to leave him to it. He feels secure. I am always made welcome and kept informed.
