North Court Care Home

A huge thank you to the whole team for everything you do for my grandad. Your kindness, patience and dedication mean so much to me.

Mum can move freely around to different lounges and dining room as all on one level, she had difficulty doing this at home. Big thanks to all staff.

We are very grateful to the entire team for their dedication and hard work. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and supportive place for their loved one.

The staff have been amazing in supporting mums Dementia needs and managing her everyday care within the home.

Important thing to say is, do I think my mum is looked after and safe, yes is the answer.

I can't believe the glowing reviews this care home have received recently, I wouldn't send an animal here. While the ownership and management have changed over recent years, the quality of care has continued to decline. Unfortunately the management seem to have spent more effort in redecorating the home than investing in the training of staff or care of the patients. We recorded several concerns and complaints over the years for our relative, and most recently we became increasingly alarmed at the use of agency staff who were inadequately trained on first aid and patient safety. I would urge anyone needing to send their relative into care to avoid this place, which has a very poor reputation in the community for good reason.

The entrance to North Court is very welcoming as was the young lady on reception. My aunt was in bed and her room is very clean, though a bit sparse. She was very agitated and wanted to get out of bed. The carers came in and I went out and my aunt was changed and assisted to a wheelchair to go and watch the entertainment in the lounge. She screamed a lot whilst being assisted. The music was incredibly loud which upset my aunt but we stuck it out. I then left and my aunt was waiting to be taken back to her room. I think my aunt spends a lot of time in her room.

My Aunty was a resident of North Court. She was reluctant to go to any home and I was anxious. I can honestly say that I can’t praise North Court enough from the time she first stepped in she was made to feel at home and so were we. The care she received there was excellent and couldn’t be faltered in any way. Every member of staff was always polite and acknowledged us and we could visit whenever we wanted. The activity coordinators were excellent and again included us. I also noticed that on occasions such as Xmas the staff all went above and beyond to make it very special for all the residents, the home was decorated beautifully. I have since recommended this home to people who have asked me about and I seriously couldn’t have received any better care for my Aunty it was outstanding and I can say with confidence I highly recommend the home.

Dad moved in around a month ago we have had nothing but kindness shown to our dad, his words - the staff are lovely and can’t do enough for me. The food is excellent lots of fluids given he always looks clean and smart we are all so happy he is there. We are now able to visit and have lots of laughs with him, best thing we have done. Thank you so much to all the staff at North Court.

Absolutely outstanding care home, not a bad word to say. Such a clean welcoming environment, the staff give the best to the residents giving love and support and helping them with day-to-day activities. The staff are incredible and so caring towards the residents, anything they need the staff are there providing them with the assistance and support they need, giving the positivity with every task and telling the residents they are doing well and they are proud of them when the residents complete activities and everyday tasks. Really recommend this care home if you're looking for a home for your loved one, not a single bad word to say about the care home, absolutely incredible!

My aunt came to North Court Care Home for end-of-life care which was given with compassion and kindness. Medical support from the local surgery was good and communication from the nursing staff was excellent. My aunt died peacefully and we were very grateful that she did not die in hospital where she had been for five weeks previously. I'm not sure how we would have felt should she have recovered and gone on to live in the home as the environment is very dated and in need of modernisation. I cannot comment on the facilities and activities as she was bed bound.

My mother has been a resident for two months now. It has taken her a while to settle in. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only concern I have is that the food is not very appetising. After having a meal there myself, I agree. Surely, when catering for the older generation an attractive meal would be beneficial.

My main reason for completing this review is to express my growing concern over the staffing levels of employed carers. There seems to be more and more Agency staff who often speak very poor English and often don't seem to have a clue as to what is expected. Also, the food is not always up to standard and is very poor.

I took my husband for a week's respite so I could have an operation on my knee. He sat in a room, and no one came and asked if he was ok. No remote for the T.V, no jug of water left so he could have a drink, no food until I said I was going to the shop down the road to get him a sandwich. No drink until 4 pm when I collected him and took him home. The home should be closed down. I wouldn't leave my dog there.

My wife receives very good care and she loves all the care staff. The staff are all very caring and affectionate to her. I would highly recommend North Court.

Friendly welcome on arrival at each visit. Care staff are passionate about their residents' comfort and wellbeing and are a credit to the care industry. I’m really happy that my dad has settled in his new environment and I’m comfortable in the knowledge that he is being well cared for and that his needs are being met without compromise. I will happily recommend North Court Care Home.

Very pleased with the overall standard of care. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. If you have any concerns you can just phone up and they sort it out. Visiting is always very nice. Cup of tea or coffee. A lot better now that things are getting back to normal.

My mother has been a resident at North Court for nearly 5-years. There have only been a couple of times where I have had concerns. The attention to her care has been wonderful. I have such respect for the staff who look after her. Their dedication to their work is inspiring.

My brother has been a resident here for over 3 years. I have always found the care he has received very good. The staff have been friendly towards me. Everything is lovely and clean. I have 2 Christmas dinners with him which I enjoyed very much. I can't wait for things to get back to normal. It must make everything so much more difficult for the staff.

The loving care and compassion shown by all the staff at North Court is absolutely amazing. It is abundantly obvious that this is more than just a job as they regularly go above and beyond what is expected. I am so grateful to have my parents looked after in such a wall. I cannot praise North Court and its staff enough. A most sincere thank you to you all.
