Over all time North Court Care Home has 29 reviews.
The staff have been amazing in supporting mums Dementia needs and managing her everyday care within the home.
Our team at North Court Care Home in Bury St Edmunds works hard to support residents living with dementia, so hearing...
Food is good, although choice could be slightly better. I think the home will only get better as time passes, with more robust systems in place.
Important thing to say is, do I think my mum is looked after and safe, yes is the answer.
We truly appreciate your honest thoughts on staff onboarding and menu...
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.
It is very upsetting to read your review, considering your last visit to the home was back in December 2024, its rather strange to understand why you submitted the review in July 2025,where your relative is no longer in our care and home was under different management then. Things have massively...
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that your dad received exceptional care at our facility. Providing compassionate and personalized care is at the heart of what we do, and knowing that your dad felt well taken care of means the...
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are pleased to hear your kind comments about our care team. However, we have acknowledged your concerns regarding the food. We take all comments seriously and would like to assure you this is being looked into. Please could we ask that you...
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.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to assure you that any team members caring for our residents have a thorough induction to be familiar with our policies and procedures. We are sorry you feel that the food provided by our home has not met with your expectations. We carried out an...
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.
Thank you for your feedback and we are disappointed to read your comments about your experience. Please be assured that your feedback will be brought to the attention of our regional team. We take comments or complaints very seriously and have a robust process in place to investigate, resolve or...
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.
Thank you, Clare, for your comments about your recent experience at North Court Care Home. Our residents’ wellbeing is our main priority and it is great to hear that you were so pleased with the quality of our care. All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised.
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.
Thank you, Stuart, for your wonderful feedback about our home. We are pleased to hear that your experience has been positive and appreciate all of your kind comments about our team. We hope to see you again soon.
This year has been difficult but I have found the staff very caring, in very difficult circumstances. They've kept Covid out of the home, by restricting their personal lives. This is a credit to them. It's always warm and friendly. The food is excellent there. Residents always clean and dressed well. The laundry service is excellent. One doesn't wish for your loved one to go to a care home, and while I was reluctant at first, am quite satisfied.
Thank you, Margaret, for your feedback following your recent experience at our home. We are happy to learn it has been a positive one. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing. Have a wonderful day.
Both of my parents have been residents at North Court and after difficult decisions were made North Court took over their care with professionalism kindness and the utmost respect at all times. This standard has been maintained over years. My mum sadly passed at North Court and the staff were amazing and helped us as a family to cope with a very dark sad time. The medical and day-to-day care was done with genuine care and concern. The home is efficient and clean and has a happy atmosphere with nothing being too much trouble this includes all staff from housekeepers and cooks to office and kitchen staff, they all work as a team to make life happy and interesting for their residents and wrap their arms around the families.
Thank you, Janette, we always appreciate individuals taking the time to give their feedback, and we are very pleased to hear that your experience at North Court Care Home has been so positive. All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents, and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised.
My dad has the most excellent care, the carers and everyone who works there treat him extremely well; he has blossomed in their care.
We are extremely lucky to have him so well looked after; he feels safe and happy during this awful time, the carers have made sure that Dad has some sorts of contact with us.
Thank you, Lou, for letting us know how we are doing at North Court Care Home. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority, and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how we are doing.
