Staff always helpful, friendly and doing their best. I was sure that my aunty was in good care whilst there. There were some obstacles to overcome with her needs but they managed so, so well and I'm so appreciative. She was also fed very well. Thank you so much for everything!

Within a few weeks of attending Sycamore Court she was smiling and laughing and thinking about later in the year.she looks forward to the daily activities. The staff are friendly and supportive and help her to feel loved and needed. They support me as well. I no longer have to juggle all the plates. I know she is safe.
Thank you for your kind review, the team and I are proud to be part of her journey back! Best wishes,

Good overall care at Sycamore Court. Mum has dementia, health issues and is also immobile. Would appreciate more updates on her behaviour and health issues. More information on mum is always helpful.

We appreciate your feedback. Please be aware that aside from our regular resident and relative meetings, care reviews can be booked directly with a member of the management team as frequently as you wish.

Having moved my elderly friend into the home at short notice, I cannot fault the staff who have all been caring, supportive and helpful. My friend looks so much better and cared for since moving into the home 3 weeks ago. Any issues I have raised are being dealt with promptly and efficiently. The food is wonderful and we had table service!! I had a super lunch with my friend, will be booking to go again soon! The hairdresser did a wonderful job on my friend's hair and this will be a regular occurrence going forward. My friend's physical and mental health have improved considerably since she moved in and she always appears clean and well cared for when I visit.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am happy to hear you feel your friend is settling in well and enjoying the care we provide. Regards,

My husband has been a resident at Sycamore Court for over a year now. He found it hard to settle at first but the carers and nurses have helped him a lot, and in particular, the activities staff have done their very best to include him whenever he wants to join in. At other times he is happy to watch what is going on. I am impressed with the detailed records which are kept. It is very reassuring to be able to ask how he is when I visit, and to be given exact information about his day or night. Having been his carer myself for many years it is a great relief to see him being looked after so well now that I am no longer able to cope with his condition.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your peace of mind is important to us, and we appreciate your trust in our team.

I have found that Sycamore Court is really willing to listen to the resident and try to meet his/her needs as an individual. They also take time to speak with relatives. I have also found that they have a highly professional approach to personal care and general comfort while maintaining a gentle and kind manner. My brother has the care he now needs and is not as anxious as before moving to Sycamore Court. I would recommend Sycamore Court to anyone looking for residential care for their loved one.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience at Sycamore Court Care Home! We're thrilled your brother feels more at ease here.
Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law were residents. We could not have been happier with the care that they both received. The care staff are very kind and caring. I would recommend this care home.

Thank you for your review of our home and for allowing us to care for both your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I'm delighted to hear how happy you were with the care and services we provide here and I will be sure to share these comments with the team. Warm regards.
Very kind and caring staff. All friendly and will answer any questions you may have. Very clean and warm. The meals always look very good. Hot and well presented. The only fault I can find is my friend has no radio in his room, has a TV but it doesn't work. So yesterday he was just sitting alone...
Very kind and caring staff. All friendly and will answer any questions you may have. Very clean and warm. The meals always look very good. Hot and well presented. The only fault I can find is my friend has no radio in his room, has a TV but it doesn't work. So yesterday he was just sitting alone in his room. It made me sad. I know he does go upstairs for arts and crafts and looks at TV in main lounge and he always eats all his lunch when I'm there.
Our mum came to Sycamore Court in May, and what a breath of fresh air the team is! We are so relieved her type 1 diabetes is much better managed, and her nutrition is always taken into account. From the manager, kitchen staff, housekeeping, maintenance team, and last but not least, the healthcare...
I am also a mother of a severely disabled adult daughter and work in palliative care, so I know the health environments quite well.
This service setting is one of the best, in my opinion.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words and trust in Sycamore Court care home. We greatly appreciate your feedback and are glad to know that our team has made a positive impact on your mom’s well-being. We will continue to provide excellent care to all our residents. Kind regards.
The staff are kind and caring. They do their best every day to engage and stimulate Mum, despite the challenges of her lack of mobility and severe dementia. They are also supportive of us as a family and understand how challenging a situation it is. They create opportunities for us to be involved...

Amazing staff and so friendly, and what an amazing gathering you put on for the Christmas party for all the residents. The Christmas activities were fantastic, and the activity staff always go above and beyond to keep them entertained. The food is amazing and always fresh.

We are all very pleased with the care and attention she has received. We know she can be a little awkward at times, but she loves it there and sings its praises.

My mother was a resident at Sycamore court for 15 months. She had Alzheimer’s, she was at the stage that she only lived in the moment but kept her sense of humour. Luckily most of Mums time there was before lockdown. My family had the opportunity to witness her care on a daily basis. From day one she was cared for with great respect and understanding of her condition by all staff and management. I will always be grateful for the care and genuine love my mother received at Sycamore court. It was very reassuring during lockdown to be convinced that she was being looked after and the staff did everything possible during this difficult time to keep the family involved in her care. Thank you to every one of the staff that cared for Mum.

My uncle has been here for 3-years; he is very well looked after. The staff are very friendly and are always happy to help and assist you if you have any issues. Also, had an aunt here several years ago, again the staff were lovely. My uncle is well known here and always loves to chat with everybody. I looked at several care homes; this one was more homely. There are lots of activities for all the clients here, and they are encouraged to join in. They all seem very happy. Just to mention my uncle has dementia. Hope this review will helps to put your loved ones at Sycamore Court.

There are planned activities on a regular basis which my mother finds very enjoyable.
Not having first hand experience on the care and support, I’m unable to comment, but my mother seems to be happy, and that’s important to me.
Not tasted the food or seen the preparation, so unable to comment. I know that my mother has enjoyed her food.
I have always found the staff both extremely caring for my wife and helpful to me. Staff always seem very efficient concerning my wife's many needs, and in these trying times, giving me a Covid-19 test. Altogether, a very well run home.
