My Mum lived at Cornwallis Court for two years after moving down from Birmingham , it wasn't easy for mum to give up her independence but the staff were wonderful.

The food could be a bit patchy. some days lovely , other days not so good.
The new build looks amazing.
My mum moved in to Cornwallis in October 2024,nothing is perfect but the care received was so kind.She was not someone who would join in the activities but the activities lady would go spend time with my mum just watch tv and have a cuppa with her.Every member of staff knew my mums name and if they...
My mum recently passed away I spent most of her last week with her and the staff not only looked after mum they looked after me with lots of tea.
The respect that was given to my mum as she left Cornwallis will always stay in my heart forever.The staff that were here for me and my family you know who you are and I can't thank them enough.

Cornwallis Court is an old building but has wide corridors and high ceilings, making it light and airy. Building has commenced to provide a new home. It is such a relief to know that mum is safe and happy.

Management, reception staff through to the carers and nursing staff, everyone was friendly but efficient.
My wife's stay here was unfortunately too short, but we are confident that her final days were as comfortable as they could be. For this, I will be indebted to the incredible staff who cared for her. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was truly our privilege to be able to care for your wife and an honour to have been part of her journey, knowing that our care brought comfort to her and and reassurance to you means the world to us, our thoughts are with you and your family.

I came for recuperation following a hip replacement following a fall and stayed 9 days. I arrived 5 days post op and was treated with nothing but respect, care and kindness by the staff. I was supported in my remobilisation and improvement at my own pace. The activities staff included me in the social aspect which I much enjoyed and I made conversation with a number of other residents. My room was comfortable, the dining staff friendly and food good.
I have nothing bad to say about any of it. I enjoyed the whole experience and the food was excellent.

My father moved to Cornwallis Court when his previous home was closed by its owners. This was a worrying time for him and our family. The staff at Cornwallis Court were exemplary in their welcome and effort to making my father feel included, safe, and at home. This care is normal practice for the wonderful staff there and has continued since moving there in November 2023. The relationship my Father and our family have with them is a credit to the R.M.B.I. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I will share your feedback with the team who I know will appreciate it.
Nothing is too much trouble for them, we are both happy here.
The food is wonderful and the menu is varied, optional, alternatives are offered if the main is not suitable.

The care provided is exceptional, the consideration given to the individual needs of the resident is just perfect. I cannot praise all concerned any higher. I know that my father is so well looked after, his needs are more than met. He is clean, well fed and medicated on time all essential and appreciated. The activities are great. He joins in with most which keeps him active as his dementia progresses. He is meeting new people and really thriving since being there. I know that he will live longer now he is in good care as he needs 24-hour care.
I feel that the staff go the extra to ensure residents are happy and truly care.
Thank you for your kind review. I will pass on your comments to the staff who sometimes do not get the acknowledgement they deserve. They will be delighted.

Thank you. As we all know there are angels among us.
Thank you for taking the time to review the care your sister receives and for your kind words. I will ensure this is passed on to the staff who really appreciate positive feedback.

Thank you for your review, staff loved having Mum stay here albeit for a short period.
The home is really good with good attentive staff. Lots of activities are laid on for residents and there is a good amount of staff. My mother is receiving excellent care. She says the food is nice and it's a lovely place. The home also has a fully staffed nursing wing.
