Grove Court

The genuine loving care given to my parents and our family has been very special and has made a huge positive difference in difficult times. Thankful prayers for this dedicated team of hard workers, the clinical staff, the cleaners, the administrators, the maintenance team, hope I haven't left anyone out! Thank you!

My mum has been resident at Grove Court since September 2019, having managed to live alone with some limited care until the age of 97. After a serious illness and two major operations, Mum needed to move to a care home near our family home. We knew Grove Court well already as my mother-in-Law had lived there happily for the last 2 1/2 years of her life. From the moment that the manager met my mum for an assessment in the hospital, the care shown for my mum at every stage has been amazing. Mum has regained weight, eats well and feels very comfortable at Grove Court. She and we think very, very highly of the manager and her entire team and the provision for residents from medical supervision, through food, cleaning, hygiene, events and entertainment is of the highest order. At all levels, the Grove Court team has handled the huge challenges presented the pandemic extraordinarily well. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend Grove Court.

Thanks to all of them.

The standard of care at Grove Court are second to none and the manager and her entire staff have done an amazing job during this pandemic. It has not been easy I’m sure, but everything has been done to keep residents and staff as safe as possible. I can not recommend the home highly enough.

When specialist care or equipment has been required, it has appeared quickly and without fuss. The location is ideal, with lovely views and lots of interest in the grounds and gardens. I give Grove Court the highest possible recommendation.

I was only in Grove Court for a two-week break from the 15th of October and did not need any care. However, I dod stay in Grove Court two years ago after being ill with pneumonia and found the care/staff excellent. I was in there for a month at that time.

My mother spent 7 months at Grove Court before sadly passing away. She needed a lot of nursing care which she got and was well looked after. The staff here who looked after mum were extremely caring and did their job well and had mums best interests at heart. It gave me peace of mind to know that she was being well looked after.

My darling mother, who had advanced cancer, spent the last five months of her life at Grove Court, following three months in another local care home. I cannot praise the staff at Grove Court enough for her care, particularly at the end of her life when she required a lot of professional nursing. If it was possible I would rate Grove Court as 'Exceptional' and 'Exemplary' and give it 10/10 for all relevant criteria.

The care and kindness of staff during my 2-week post-operative care was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble, despite the heat!! The meals were delicious and the grounds beautiful. Part of me wants to go home but another part wants to stay!!

My mother, aged 102, was at Grove Court Woodbridge for just over 3 weeks at the end of her life. She had a lovely room, overlooking a quiet courtyard and the care and attention she received from all members of staff was exemplary. It was a great relief to the family to know that she was in such good hands.

I moved into Grove Court in June 2013. I didn't bother to visit other care homes in the Woodbridge area as having lived in the town for 40 odd years and having heard good reports of Grove Court it seemed the obvious choice for me.

I am still only 79 years old, which is young considering the wonderful age of some of the residents, but I have both MS and Parkinson's disease and needed full-time care. The care and support I have received have been very good. The staff are attentive and generally bright and cheerful and some will go the extra mile in helping when needed.

Grove Court is an enjoyable home from home. The ability to bring one's own possessions to make your room welcoming is very important and much appreciated by me.

I have lived at Grove Court for 6 years and have been very well looked after by nurses and carers, chiropodist, hairdresser, opticians and all who visit my room. I have an electric wheelchair and take myself to lunch in the dining room, and a variety of talks, music and films in various lounges, and around the beautifully kept gardens. My room is attractive and I have pictures and photos which remind me of my home and it is well cleaned by cleaning staff.

I would highly recommend this care home. It has excellent facilities, with nice large rooms overlooking the well-kept gardens. The care given by both the nurses and carers are excellent. The meals are varied and well balanced and there is no problem with requesting food which is not on the menu.

Nurses and carers are excellent, friendly and very helpful.

Food good in the dining room but not so good on a tray in rooms. Suppers are very bad - dried up lumps in the microwave. Stodge at 5.30 and nothing till 9 am.

Difficult to coordinate pills as stipulated by doctors with food in mornings if on end of the line.

Not enough fruit and salad.

Food - excellent and a good choice.

Exceptional care, comfort and attention. Good standard.

My elderly cousin spent his last two years at Grove Court. He was a solitary man who did not socialise much but he was so well cared for and happy there. He told me that the staff were wonderful but the food only "quite good." He did not enter into activities - which was a pity but his choice.

My recuperation has been greatly aided by the attentive, kind and complete care of the well trained and committed staff.

It is well managed and supervised throughout each the day. I couldn't fault it.

I have spent 10 days respite care after foot surgery.

I received excellent care and attention to my needs which were uncertain when I arrived, two hours after surgery.

I have had a complete rest, well-aired room, which I needed. Views of flowers and balcony from my bed, recliner chair was provided to keep my foot elevated, I was only able to put foot to ground five minutes in the hour.

I enjoyed physio-jerks and yoga-jerks during my short stay and I was very happy.
