The manager and staff are so welcoming and friendly. They attend to mums needs and enjoy their jobs which is reflected in the service. Mum enjoys her day, especially the delicious roast dinner and homemade cakes. She always comes home happy as she gets a lot out of her day. The manager is always on hand should I have any concerns or questions about Alzheimer's. This service has been a lifeline for myself and mum.
The care home has looked after my mother exceptionally well since October 2023. The staff are friendly, respectful and go out of their way to engage with my mum and our family. There is a varied and healthy meal provision, which mum enjoys. The team is well led by the home manager, who is always visible, approachable and so engaged with everyone . The home is always clean and tidy. Mum enjoys the various activities that are provided each week, supervised by a fantastic "enabler", where mum is encouraged to participate.
Wolborough Court have done an excellent job helping Dad after he came out of hospital. The staff have been first class and have made Dad feel settled and valued. I feel Dad is in the best of hands and any issues have always been dealt with and resolved quickly.
In all the the time my husband has been in Wolborough Court the care and attention has been excellent. The staff keep me well informed. He always looks well dress and never a spot of food on his clothes. I have a peace of mind. My husband is very safe and happy and with that I thank you.
My friend is very well cared for here. They lay on some lovely activities for all the residents. The food is good home cooking. The staff make time to meet all individual needs to all the residents, they are very well cared for. Staff are friendly and easy to talk to. I would not hesitate to recommend Wolborough Court to anybody.
Since coming to Wolborough Court I have settled in very well and have been most welcomed. I was a bit confused when I came but am now able to converse with all residents.
My mum absolutely loves it here ,she is very well cared for and has flourished since becoming a resident , she especially enjoys all the activities and the food is excellent. The staff are lovely and very welcoming to visitors.
Wolborough Court is a smaller purpose-built residence set on Wolborough Hillside, commanding lovely views across the surrounding countryside. This well-managed home is always clean, light and airy and maintained to a high standard throughout. Mum and all the other residents are always treated with the utmost dignity, respect and given time. All Mum's medical, mental and physical needs are dealt with to a high standard and I'm kept informed of anything necessary. Hot freshly cooked food is served daily to a very high standard with any special dietary needs catered for and a varied menu including homemade cakes. There are daily activities and professional entertainments visiting on a regular basis. Days out are also organised if required. All the staff are smart, professional, competent and friendly. Most importantly though they really do care for their residents, so for family or friends this is most reassuring indeed. This "care home" surpasses on "care" really is a "home" to my mum.
My mother has been a resident for over a year and in that time she has received first class care.
Any medical issues arising have been dealt with promptly. We are always kept informed of any developments.
The staff are always proactive and caring and there are many activities arranged for her to enjoy.
This is an extremely well managed home from home.

The activities on offer vary daily and are excellent. No complaints here.
Mum was in above home for 30 months, after a wobbly start she settled in, made friends and got used to the routine. The staff treated her well and took good care of her until she passed.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're so glad to hear that, despite a challenging start, your mum settled in and felt cared for during her time with us. It means a lot that you felt the staff treated her well and provided the care she needed. We understand how important it is for...
Taking up residence in the care home was a great relief to Mum. She had previously been struggling with anything physical, including preparation of meals and generally looking after herself. After more than two months, Mum continues to be glad she became a resident and says she is particularly pleased at how kind, considerate and competent are the caring staff. She says the meals provided are good and sufficient.
Thank you for your lovely comments, Stuart. We are glad your Mum has settled in well.
The staff have always been very pleasant and helpful every time I visit. Everything is well maintained and the home has a friendly atmosphere.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we really appreciate you taking the time to review us.
I particularly like the arrangement of the communal rooms and the range of activities on offer. The quality of the food is also very good, an important consideration.
