Hi Anne, thank you for your review, we very much appreciate all feedback. I will share with the team and hope to see you soon. Kind Regards
From the first time we walked into Cooksditch, to the last time we walked out, all the staff went above and beyond and nothing was to much trouble. My Husband, although only there for 3 weeks, was always treated with warmth and dignity. Thank you

My mother spent 6 happy years as a resident. Sadly she passed away 3 days before Christmas. Her terminal care was amazing. The staff were caring and considerate. When we left it was like leaving an extension of my family.

Our close and much loved friend sadly suffered a catastrophic stroke aged only 60 years. She was cared for at Cooksditch House for several weeks. We visited regularly, unannounced and were extremely impressed with the care she received. The areas were always orderly and clean and she always looked clean and well cared for in fresh bed linen. The staff were always welcoming and friendly and were compassionate and caring.

The care provided to my wife since she arrived at Cooksditch House Nursing home has been exceptional. The nursing, care and support staff deserve special mention because the atmosphere is always positive and most staff seem to actively enjoy their work at the same time as being extremely professional, well-trained, well-coordinated as a team, and sensitive to the particular needs and characteristics of individual residents. My wife's room is a good size and we have really appreciated the opportunity to personalise it with pictures, furniture and other familiar belongings from home.
Thank you for this great review, we at Cooksditch House always try to maintain that homely feel and our team are committed to ensuring the residents are well looked after, like our extended family.

We all spoke to her regularly by telephone - thank you for chasing her around the building with the wireless 'phone when she was not where she should have been!
I think I can speak for all of our family. The reception by your staff whether in person or by telephone was always friendly and respectful. My Mother had a happy experience which I cannot fault, a nursing home is never going to be the same as living under one's own roof - but Cooksditch comes very close. A combination of gentle care with a communal atmosphere of family. In 2023, Mum was transferred to the medical side after a number of health problems. This change was handled by your carers with thoughtful attention - the residential staff maintained contact and she often visited the residential wing to see her house mates.
Thank you all.
Thank you for your kind words, I will pass this on to all our staff.
Mum received excellent care and treatment. All the staff were kind and always there to help. Mum particularly enjoyed the activities including craft and singing.

It was comforting and gratifying to visit our dear relative in comfortable, warm, airy. Care was so tactful and friendly and we feel pleased she was being looked after so well and consistently. Cleanliness and respect so apparent too. Thank you all very much.

I had heard about how well looked after my friends relative had been at Cooksditch so when my mum needed care we were lucky enough to get her a place. I can not fault the care she receives, the staff are without exception excellent, professional and kind. The sign in reception reads, our residents don't live in our workspace, we live in their home. The food is lovely with daily baked fresh cakes. The routine is flexible to mums needs. I don't think she could be any better looked after. I can not recommend Cooksditch highly enough.
Many thanks for all your kind and thoughtful comments regarding Cooksditch House. We think of all our residents and family as our own extended family. Happy New Year to you.
The family are so pleased with the care my husband is getting in Cooksditch. The staff always have time for a chat and everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We couldn't have picked a better 'home' for him.

Although my husband has been at this nursing home for two weeks I have found the staff extremely kind and compassionate. Not only to him but to myself also.

On my husband's arrival, he was treated with care, consideration, and respect. He has been in here for a short while now, and to date, I have been extremely happy with all the staff members that have attended to him (he's not the easiest of people to please!). I as his wife have been kept informed and they have listened and acted on my advice. From the minute you are let in, via the reception, you are greeted with genuine 'welcome' and a lovely feeling of calm. This feeling continues through the visit, enabled by everyone you meet. Everywhere is clean and fresh which in this type of environment is a pleasant change. Everyone is deserving of a very well done! And most important, my husband is happy.
Thank you for your kind comments, these are always much appreciated. I will pass it on to all the team.
The staff are so supportive and caring. Mum loved her 5 and a half years here until she passed away. The staff are always jolly and friendly. Nothing is too much to ask.

I was not sure what I wanted to do with my life when I left college, so I got a job at Cooksditch House as a care staff member in 2000.
I was not sure if this was the job for me at the time, but I loved the job and straight away i knew that i wanted to go into nursing.
I commenced my nurse training in 2003, whilst still working at Cooksditch House as a care staff member to help support me through my nursing qualification.
I qualified as a registered nurse in 2006, all whilst remaining at Cooksditch House where I have now reached the position of Clinical Lead and I love what I do.
I want what is best for our residents at a time in their lives when they need care and support to ensure they receive appropriate person-centred care.
