We found Cooksditch House when Mum needed nursing care. The understanding and care given was spot on. The manager understood her needs and ensured Mum was comfortable and that informed decisions were made. Mum totally trusted her, a big thing for her. The staff were always friendly and she enjoyed interacting with them - care given was excellent, and she was never alone for any length of time. The Dr/hospice team were well appraised of any changes which ensured she had the best possible care. I received regular updates and was always offered drinks/meals when visiting. I always felt confident Mum was safe and being cared for by professionals. I am certain she was in the right place and I know she felt the same way - she liked that her room was bright and clean and the food was so good; staff went out of their way to do nice things for her and she felt at home with the "family" feel that this engendered. I have already recommended Cooksditch to others and cannot thank you enough.

Choosing a care home for our loved ones is very difficult. What appears entirely suitable to start with may not suit them. My grandfather initially spent 2 months at another home and was deeply unhappy as there was not enough social interaction for him.
Granddad was not the easiest of patients initially and resented his loss of independence. Cooksditch balanced the needs of his mental well being with his physical needs and extended as much independence as was safe to do so. He soon settled down and realised that this isn't a prison, the home actively encouraging those that can to go out with their relatives to do the things they would ordinarily have done (coffee shop, pub, park, seaside).
The conservatory area is ideal in the summer, the more sociable residents chatting and enjoying the sunshine and a steady stream of staff passing through with a smile and a few words. It's not just about the physical needs but the mental wellbeing and many of the staff would find time in their busy schedules to just sit and talk with granddad.
Granddad passed away at the end of November in his room with his family happy, ready to go. The level of care in his last days was unparalleled, the manager sitting by his bedside holding his hand at 6am when he was scared until we could get there to be with him. Many of the staff treat patients as they would their own relatives and it's evident it's more than a job to them. I don't think we could have found a place better suited to granddad's needs.

Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.

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.
