Gardenia Court Nursing Home

For someone who never wanted to be in a care home they made her feel at home and us very welcome staff were always very friendly and caring.

Friendly and helpful staff that was very accomadating as our mum was difficult. We were treated with care and respect as family members and even after death we have been in contact and support.

A friendly and helpful attitude exists from all staff. Rooms and communal areas are clean and comfortable. The foods are varied and of good quality.

My mum was brought here after a hefty hospital stay, having pneumonia and no longer able to look after herself. From the moment she arrived, the staff have looked after her very, very well. They have always informed us of any issues and welcomed us when we have visited. Her room and facilities were very adequate for her needs and always kept clean. Lovely, homely care home.

What a lovely place. My mum was sent there for assessment. She has dementia, osteoarthritis in both hips and a fracture to her right hip which unfortunately cannot be operated on. Although not wanting to see her go into a Nursing Home, she has very quickly settled in and is now a permanent resident.There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere, with superb caring staff. Everyone has a part to play in her care and she enjoys the games and activities that takes place. I can't praise this home enough. It is managed by Neela and this lady has great empathy to all the residents. It's a small home but with the personal touch, so much better than the larger care homes. I totally recommend this Nursing Home.

My mother stayed here for end of life care, there was no stress as you would have had in a hospital. I found her comfortable and kept in a clean condition. Pleasant room with a television if she wanted it. Drinks and food were offered. Caring and hard working staff, we could not have asked for more under the upsetting circumstances.

Although my mother was only a resident in Gardenia Court for a short while before she passed away, her care was excellent. The staff were all very nice and I knew my mother was in good hands.

I found the care of my husband excellent. His complex needs were attended to with a smiling face always, and dealt with practically. He always said to me how wonderful and helpful all the staff were, and in his failing health days felt safe there.

Thank you all.

My mother joined you in January 2025 and quickly settled in albeit getting used to her new surroundings was initially difficult. I found the management and staff to be extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and provided a clean healthy environemtn for its residents. Although my mother was only with you for a short time I felt assured she was well looked after and comfortable.

We would like to thank the whole team of Gardenia Court Nursing Home who were so kind and caring with our dad during his end-of-life care. They were all so compassionate, ensuring he felt safe and cared for with empathy and dignity. Thank you once again from all the family.

We can't thank them enough!

My father received excellent attention from a friendly, dedicated team of carers.

My wife and I have been and still are visitors to at least five care/nursing homes over the last five or six years. So far this is probably the best out of all of them and would recommend Gardenia Court to any of our friends or relatives.

After a month in hospital my father was sent to Gardinia Court. He was sent to the first available place. We felt very lucky that he was sent there. The staff were so kind and caring and kept us up to date with how he was doing. I would highly recommend the home.

The managers of Gardenia Court and staff looked after Dad so well, I cannot recommend them highly enough. We visited the home regularly and there was always plenty of staff available to talk to if we needed to and we were grateful to have the offer of a tea or coffee. He was always clean and looked well cared for and the interaction between Dad and the staff was lovely to see. When Dad was able to enjoy his food it looked really tasty and smelt wonderful. His care at the end of life was wonderful and they kept us informed of his health at every stage. I would like to send my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all the staff, using their skill, experience and compassion looked after Dad so well with kindness.

I was very pleased with the service provided to my father during his 9-month stay. The staff showed him care, compassion and understanding which is not always easy for someone approaching their 100th birthday. Thank you everyone at Gardenia and I am pleased to be able to recommend you to others.

My husband is always clean and very well cared for, the staff are always bringing around drinks for all the residents and biscuits which they all enjoy and they take great care and respect when dealing with everyone. The room he is in is always spotless and he washed and all his clothes and bedding are wonderful. He is happy there, they go above and beyond. If you have any worries, they are dealt with immediately.

My review relates to the incredible support that the manager and the team have given to me since my father's recent death. But also to the outstanding care and dedication they showed during the 10+ years for which he was a resident.

We viewed three nursing homes close to where he had lived for many years and we were seeking somewhere that felt homely and that felt right. The manager gave us a tour and her warmth and commitment to care for my father was honest and sincere. Her demeanour with my mother who has dementia was professional and kind, another reason to choose this home. The lounge and conservatory were light and airy, I loved the birds and three-legged cat also in residence and the ability to bring in my dog to visit. All the staff were kind and treated my father with dignity and compassion. The events manager included my father and he enjoyed the activities. I was very upset initially visiting my father, the cook noticed this and took time to check on me, she was another staff member who went above and beyond. My family were able to stay as long as we wanted to in his final days. We were looked after as well as he was, staff supported us with emotions. My heartfelt thanks to all of you.
