Review from K M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 15 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Lisa, Home Manager at Sycamore Court

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.

Review from Jackie E (Friend of Resident) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sacha W (Respite Resident) published on 12 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 team, thank you for going the extra mile to keep our mum safe and looked after. Mum had a fall and had a week in the hospital, it was such an awful experience, and we were all pleased to get Mum back to Sycamore, as we knew they would get her back on track again; she has only been back a few days, but we know she is in good hands.
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.

Reply from Priyanka Gadhe, Marketing Administrator at Sycamore Court

Overall Experience

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 and are always happy to see us.

Reply from Priyanka Gadhe, Marketing Administrator at Sycamore Court

Review from Sandra P (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jennifer W (Niece of Resident) published on 17 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sue P (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Found the staff to be welcoming, friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere was serene and happy.
The entrance and day lounge were extremely clean and fresh.
I’m unable to remark on my mother’s room as I’m yet to see this, but my mother is happy.
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 found it a very happy place for my wife and other residents. The staff are fantastic.
From when the new manager started, I have seen the improvements.
Activities are great, and they help the residents. We all have a lovely time, and it's a lovely atmosphere.

I have been to a lot of homes in my time, and nothing beats this one!

Review from Natalie M (Relative of Resident) published on 22 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am very impressed with this excellent home, the staff are very friendly, polite and professional. The atmosphere is 'cheerful'. The rooms are spotless (very very clean) and decorated tastefully. I like the outdoor area (well-maintained garden). There are plenty of books and activities for residents and visitors to occupy themselves. It is more like a hotel! My mother-in-law says the food is very nutritious an appetising.

Reply from John Howgate, Registered Manager at Sycamore Court

Thank you for your very kind comments Natalie. I will pass them on to all of the staff team.

Review from Breffni (Son of Resident) published on 3 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother, who is now 96, has been a resident in this home since March 2016 after being discharged from hospital as "bed-bound". I am entirely satisfied with the care and attention she has received here, and this to a great degree makes up for my own regret that she was not able to return to her own home. I particularly draw attention to the exemplary personal attitude and motivation of many of the staff, given that this, above all, is not in any way a purchasable commodity. When I chose this home from all the others I visited, I particularly thought of the relatively small number of residents, the fact that this is a relatively new and purpose-designed building, and the relaxed and friendly attitude of the staff. Given the innate difficulties of dealing with people who may often be substantially mentally-disoriented and/or distressed I continue to think that this home provides a very high standard of care, and have had no reason to regret my choice.

Review from Vivienne B (Niece of Resident) published on 2 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I moved my aunt into this care home in May where she spent the last months of her life. She was immediately struck by the quality of care and affection she received. She repeatedly thanked me for finding "such a nice place"
This was the only car home I visited which did not abandon residents in front of a blaring telly for hours every day.

I liked the open and responsive management style and was impressed by the residents' meetings with the manager to discuss their concerns.
