Darlington Court

From the moment we walked through the doors to view we knew it was the one for our mum . Mum settled in very quickly and making lots of new friends . Staff are amazing and for the first time in a long time mum feels safe and well cared for . Mum is very happy and enjoying life again after living alone for the past nine years thanks to all the wonderful staff .

A lot of work has gone on recently to improve the look of the home, including relatives in decisions and communication. This all adds to make Darlington Court a really excellent home.

Very attentive and caring staff, variety of activities and events. Very good quality food and drinks, pleasant gardens and grounds to enjoy. Rooms are very clean and well maintained and equipped with television etc

Thankyou Darlington.

Darlington Court staff have all been wonderful at a very difficult time. They have given me loads of advice and helped to get my Dad out of Hospital and into the Care Home at very short notice. The Customer Service Manger has been lovely and very supportive even coming in on her day off to help get all the paperwork sorted for my Dad. A really kind Support Worker stayed late to find out about my Dad and chat to my Husband and I. All the Clinical Staff and Care Workers have been so kind and have gone the extra mile with my Dad.

Darlington Court, is the best care home i have visited, without exception from management down they are patient, helpful and caring, nothing is too much trouble. Activities are very varied and seem to include as many people as want to participate.

My mother in law came to Darlington court after being in hospital for 3 months due to a fall in her home. All the staff and management team were very accommodating and made sure she had everything she needed to keep her comfortable and clean as she also suffered with vascular dementia. I cannot praise the home enough for everything they did for her right up to her last days of life.

My mother has been a resident at Darlington Court for about 9 months and up to now I must say that I am absolutely delighted with the care she receives. All staff are extremely helpful, caring and I could not wish my mother to be anywhere else at this stage of her life. A big thank you also goes to the activities team who are absolutely wonderful. Not forgetting the behind the scenes staff such as the laundry and housekeeping, and lastly but certainly not least, the kitchen staff who provide fantastic food every day, not only for residents but for special events. I would 100% recommend this care home to anyone looking for a suitable placement for their loved ones.

The food is always well prepared. My mother is on a soft diet and the chef takes such care care in presenting her food on the plate so it looks appetizing which then encourages my mother to eat. Thank you to all the staff.

Visitors are welcome at anytime with a lovely lounge area to use.

My Dad was admitted quite urgently back in January after being told we likely had days left with him. It was a difficult time, but the staff could not have been more reassuring, kind and welcoming. He improved significantly following his admission and he is doing well four months on. He enjoys the interactions from staff; the care and attentiveness he receives is wonderful. We visit regularly and staff are just as welcoming to us - they really are the heart of the atmosphere there. My Dad is happy there and you cannot ask for more. Thank you to all the staff for all you do!

My dad and step-mum are currently at Darlington Court. My dad has dementia and my step-mum is now paralysed from her waist down. My dad has flourished since his admission. He looks like a different person. His emotional and physical needs are being tended to with such care and kindness by all the staff. From the carers and nursing staff to cleaners, chefs, receptionists, entertainment staff and volunteers. It's a fantastic caring environment which feels like home. I wish I was able to name the staff who go above and beyond the call of duty, but you will know who they are if you ever need help with your loved person. Thank you all for your kindness.

I would highly recommend Darlington Court. They are currently looking after my Dad with amazing care. He is well looked after, enjoys all the food and the activities on offer are great. We as a family are kept well informed about Dad and are always made to feel very welcome.

We could not praise Darlington Court's care for our Dad highly enough. From the moment he was admitted, they made him feel at home. The staff consistently demonstrated great kindness and professionalism being supportive of us as well as Dad. The home has a wonderful warm and homely feel while providing all the facilities needed for more demanding care needs. It is kept spotlessly clean, the food is excellent and they even provided a lovely space for us to celebrate Christmas together with Dad and close family. They also provided us with invaluable help and support navigating the whole care process. We feel so lucky Dad was able to spend his final months there. Thank you

I cannot rate the care for my father enough as it has been amazing. A big thank to all the staff who have gone above and beyond for Dad. They also make the family feel so welcome and part of their extended family. We have been kept well informed of how Dad is doing and also supported us through the tricky times. I can't thank them enough, it's not an easy job but they make it look effortless with their level of care and attention. Thank you.

It took my husband a good week to settle in but the carers were friendly and compassionate from day one. When I phoned (which was often) I was always given a truthful and comprehensive rundown of how he had been each day. This was the first time my husband or I had experienced him being away from me so it took me a while to stop worrying about him but I was always reassured to just trust in the system and be assured that he was fine, and he was ! I would definitely use Darlington court again.

The staff made his last days as comfortable as possible & we were kept informed regularly on his state of health & were able to sit with him almost to the very end. So we would like to thank all of Darlington Court for everything they did for them.

I can honestly say that the care and compassion shown by all the staff at Darlington Court was brilliant from the moment my aunt moved in during May 2025. The ease of registration and getting her settled in was painless and they were excellent at communicating with me on her activities and well being.

They treated her with great dignity and care.

My mum has been a resident at Darlington Court since March 2023. We are extremely happy with the care she receives, all of the staff are friendly, patient & caring to mum & to us. All of mums needs are met and more. The lifestyle team make the home a happy & fun place to be, always lots going on and the house keeping team keep everywhere lovely & clean. The food is good too! It's a huge relief to know mum is being so well cared for and I would highly recommend this lovely home.

There is a special aura as soon as you walk through the front door of Darlington Court, of helpfulness, love and compassion. All the staff - even the 'backroom staff' - maintenance man, the chef and cleaners take a genuine interest in the residents. Sadly my husband passed away in June and my 'Darlington family' have dealt with everything in a professional and loving manner. And I am grateful that they continue to keep a watchful eye on me.
