Abingdon Court Care Home

My wife & I are in our eighties. After a heart operation we decided the best option for care, rest & relaxation was a care home. After researching & visiting others in the area, we selected Abingdon Court, on the basis of the warmth & welcoming atmosphere that we immediately felt. This decision has been well received, the warm & friendly atmosphere we first felt was truly always there. All the staff (no names, they were all good!) were very caring & attentive, nothing was too much trouble. We couldn't have made a better choice for our short stay. The rooms are spacious & well set out but would benefit from a lick of brightly coloured paint, so pictures or stencils & shelves if permitted. The meals were healthy but not always to our taste!! We have no hesitation in recommending Abingdon Court 100%

I can not thank all the staff for their care and kindness they show my parents who are currently staying at Abingdon Court for Respite care. Nothing is too much trouble and they all go above and beyond to make them feel at home. The home manager really cares about the family as well as the residents and her support has been very much appreciated. Every member of staff no matter what their role is are very professional and caring with great enthusiasm for caring and willing to go the extra mile to put smiles on the faces of their residents.

My mum was cared for by Abingdon Court, whilst Mum was there, she was cared for, considering her dementia, had become worse over the years. The staff were excellant. Mum passed away on the 9th July 26, the staff were very dignified and kind, and supported us on the day. Mum will be sorely missed, Thank you.

My wife received excellent care for the three weeks she was in your care. I could not fault the care she was given at all

All staff are friendly, cheerful and very helpful to residents' family and friends visiting. All areas of the home are kept very clean and fresh. Entertainment is amazing and good variety for all residents. Good home-cooked food every day with plenty of drinks at all times. Best decision we made to use this care home for my sister-in-law.

I have put poor for activities as I don't think these activities are for everyone.

My wife has been in Abingdon Court for over 2 years and has always received excellent care from all the staff. My wife has advanced Alzheimer's and is registered blind, with very poor hearing. 16 months ago, she had a fall and broke her hip. She has no mobility and is not able to take part in a lot of the activities, but the staff always tries to include her as much as possible. The staff are wonderful and give her all the care and support that they can.

My husband Geoff came in for respite care but after about 4 days when he was no longer able to walk, I knew he could not come home. The care and attention he received was extremely good, very kind and professional. We were kindly and gently welcomed in and some of our children stayed quite late at night. My daughter in law is a GP, my youngest son is a consultant surgeon. They too are very pleased pleased and totally in agreement with everything the staff did.

Staff very kind, caring and helpful. Room always clean. No one could have done more for my sister. Thank you.

Generally I am satisfied with the care my husband is receiving. Occasionally I have to raise some minor problems with carers and management, i.e. my husband not being shaved every day, and frequently untidy wardrobe and chest of drawers. Sometimes have to wait quite a long time for him to be taken to the toilet. I am happy when my husband is happy. All staff are pleasant and approachable.

Overall good level of care and support, medical care excellent, care staff friendly and attentive.

My uncle had a short stay in Abington Court, where he was cared for until his passing. The staff was so compassionate towards him and so very nice to all the family who visited him. Everyone from the manager, receptionist, nurses, carers were friendly and professional.

Thank you

All very friendly and helpful and grateful you come in to see them.

I visit a lady in your care regularly one or two times a month. She is always proactive and an active participation of your social activity programs. She always comes across as being happy and content. She is well aware of her surroundings, with an interest in those around her.

My mother has been a resident at Abingdon Court for 4 years. During that time the care she has received has been good and sympathetic to her needs. The staff are generally very caring and helpful.

Staff are friendly. Assist with immediate needs of family and care of individual. Answer questions when required.

As a regular visitor to Abingdon Court I find the staff very welcoming & friendly, providing a safe & secure environment.

I have found that my father has been very well looked after. His personal care is well tended to and he always looks well dressed and cared for. I know my Dad enjoys the food and is always positive about. The activities are well thought out, including for those who are less able bodied. You always get the sense that the staff enjoy their jobs and are extremely thoughtful and caring. Contact from the carehome is good and appointments are also kept, with staff from the home attending when needed.

I can recommend Abingdon Court without reservation.
