Rush Court

Very grateful to Robin, Karen and the team for their rapid response to our urgent need for respite care for my dad following a difficult night back at home after hospital discharge . They made it happen within a few hours - all the more impressive as it was over a weekend. The team have been welcoming and attentive, his room is comfy, and the broader facilities and surroundings very pleasant. Thank you to all the staff.

We are very pleased at the care of our mother received at Ruth Court, and cannot praise the staff highly enough. The manager is a lovely hands on person who even blow-dried mum's hair when she first arrived. The transition from residential to nursing was very easy as it was just downstairs, and staff provided compassionate and thorough end of life care. The home itself is very pleasant with a great choice of rooms, which made visiting more enjoyable.

Very comfortable

He has been a resident at Rush Court for almost 3 years. During this time he has been cared for with kindness, empathy, and understanding. It is a wonderful place to spend one's final years.

I have been very happy during my stay.

Carehome itself appears well maintained and comfortable and appropriate for its residents and staff. All staff are warm, friendly and professional, particularly the activities team, chefs, reception team and immediate clinical care teams. Clinical care is very attentive, considerate and adaptable and medically they are extremely knowledgable and intuitive and have a good relationship with the local doctors. Activities team are thoughtful and caring at all times - they are brilliant! Interactions with myself have always been professional, thoughtful and balanced in terms of care needs. Really pleased and impressed with the whole team at Rush Court.

We're very happy to have had Mum at Rush Court over the last few years. The staff are always very positive and friendly and have a great rapport with her. There is a good deal of refurbishment going on the moment which will provide a freshened dining area in the nursing section together with a cafe. We're looking forward to sitting in the courtyard in the sun drinking tea with her. I must make a special mention of the 'entertainment' team who are bursting with enthusiasm and novel ideas to enrich the lives of the residents.

My experience directly collates with the personal relationships exercised by staff member and degree to which this is established with me. There are bound to be times when staff shortages affect the ideal and I accept the ups and downs of life in a care home overall.

*Whilst some staff are good, some are not so good and there appears to be a high proportion of agency staff (hence not giving a higher rating). A new manager has recently been appointed and I understand the staff issue is being addressed.

She didn't want to leave and had nothing but positive experience to report. Highly recommended.

My father had been unwell for a couple of months so he thought that some respite care would be good for him and also for his wife. They were in for 2.5 weeks, sharing a room as they do at home, and the rest did them both the world of good. The food was excellent (I went for lunch one day out of curiosity and agree with them), the room was comfy, with a lovely view out over the countryside, and the staff were kindness itself. In addition, my stepmum took advantage of the flat and well maintained garden path, and walked all round it at least once a day, which has improved her walking, and as a result,she shuffles much less now. They both agreed it was like a small cosy country hotel and would definitely repeat the experience.

My husband went in for respite during a crisis in our lives. Rush Court is a lovely building in beautiful countryside. The staff are lovely and caring. He had a nice room on the ground floor and elected to have his meals in his room which on reflection was a mistake. The food was of good quality but often cold when it reached him, particularly the breakfasts. Probably because he was one of very few men there he had no-one to talk to other than the staff and didn't find the activities interesting. He did enjoy the physio sessions though. I went in every day and took him out for a change of scene. We had booked 3 weeks but I brought him home after 2. There was no-one there to say goodbye to us when we left.

My mother transferred to Rush Court from short term respite care elsewhere but was previously living independently at home so this was a big change for her. She is now living at Rush Court. The welcome and first few weeks have been very warm and positive during this transition. Rush Court itself is an amazing residence - the landscape and gardens quite stunning and the home has a very calm feeling. All the staff have been very kind supportive and if needed pro active in offering mum support. The food is of a high quality as is the physio she has been offered. Very happy :-)

happiness, nourishment and entertainment!

Rush Court is a welcoming place that feels like home. It is always a pleasure to visit, noting that its peaceful out-of-town location might be a little inconvenient for visitors who are reliant on public transport.

Grateful thanks from all our family...

I am very grateful for the care (in the real sense of that word) which is provided.

My mother-in-law has lived at Rush Court (in the nursing wing) for just over 2 years now. The staff are all wonderful and show so much care and affection for all the residents. This includes not only the nursing and care staff but all those who work there including management, catering, and maintenance teams. The activities team are wonderful and comes up with many varied and wonderful activities for the residents, most of which are provided in the home, but some of which involve trips out. Thank you!

I have just moved my Mum into Rush Court, only a few days prior to Christmas. The staff have all been lovely and it already feels like Mum has been there for longer than she has. The room is very nice and clean. There has been quick care and nursing care for Mum whenever needed. So far, I have been pleased we chose Rush Court for Mum and she seems content.

I rate the home and the staff very highly. They are helpful, attentive, and very caring. The accommodation is first class and so is the food. And they go to great lengths to put on things to entertain the residents every day. They are also very courteous to family members and great at remembering who we are by name. I can highly recommend the home. I suppose the only slight downside is the price but that seems to be fairly in line with other similar homes.
