Review from Tina J (Wife of Resident) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My husband had a 10 week stay in this home. I honestly think no other place that money could buy would have looked after him or cared for him better.
He loved being there. I was able to visit him whenever and for however long I wanted to and each and every day he told me how safe and looked after he felt.

For me, I just want to thank all the staff, from the laundry to the manager. The cleaner who held his hand whilst she mopped the floor, the catering who came up with ingenious ways to encourage him to eat. The activities ladies that used to encourage him to join in to my great surprise. The carers and nurses and all the other people who gave me back my qiet gentle husband. We had a happy and sad, but precious 10 weeks in which to say our goodbyes. Thank you

Review from Emma P (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We cannot speak highly enough of Consort Care Home and the exceptional care they gave our dad during his palliative care. From the moment he arrived, the whole team showed such kindness, compassion, and professionalism, and they made an incredibly difficult time much more bearable for our family.
They treated our dad with dignity, patience, and respect right up to the very end, and it was always clear that he was being cared for with genuine warmth and compassion. His room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, which gave us real peace of mind.
Our mum was with Dad every day, and the staff were not only wonderful with him, but incredibly supportive of her as well. There were times when she really struggled with the situation, and they were always so kind, understanding, and reassuring. Knowing that they were looking after Mum as well as Dad meant so much to us.

Review from Barbara O (Wife of Resident) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Consort Care Home were absolutely brilliant in looking after my husband during his palliative care. The whole team were so friendly, attentive, and compassionate throughout a very difficult time for our family.
His room was always spacious, clean, and comfortable, which made such a difference. Most importantly, they treated my husband with dignity and respect right up to the very end. They showed great patience, not only with him but also with all of us as a family, especially when we had so many questions as his health declined.
We will always be grateful for the kindness, care, and support they gave us all. I cannot thank the team enough for everything they did.

Review from Michael L (Husband of Resident) published on 21 October 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My wife was admitted to Consort House suffering from Parkinson's related dementia in May of this year. It soon became apparent that recovery was out of the question and she was placed on end of life care. She passed away on 17th September. Throughout the time that she being cared for the attention that she received from all of the staff was exemplary. They were kind and caring not only towards my wife but also myself and members of my family. They were cheerful ,and nothing appeared to be too much trouble.
As my wife's condition deteriorated she was not the easiest of patients to look after, but I was able to witness - without their knowledge- their kindness in dealing with her.

I have no hesitation in recommending Consort House to anyone whose loved one requires end of life nursing care.

Review from W H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 March 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
When my father-in-law had to go into a home, we were a little concerned to start with as we didn't have any knowledge of the home but we were really impressed with consort house. All staff members were helpful and treated my father-in-law with patience and kindness. He received great care in the final few weeks of his life and the communication from staff was really good. Nothing was too much trouble and the day he passed away we were allowed to be with him until the end and the staff were so comforting. I would recommend Consort House Nursing Home without hesitation. Thank you all.

Review from Pat D (Wife of Resident) published on 20 August 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Overall poor communication. Last 3 hours of life very poor communication. Numerous reports were made about the cleanliness of the room. The alarm bell not working. Some excellent staff some unhelpful. Not enough assistance was given with eating or drinking. The final Official complaint given after the death of the patient has not been followed up. Less than 3 weeks stay. Very disappointed! Hospitals should not send end-of-life patients here.

Review from Christopher H (Son of Resident) published on 22 September 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum is currently a resident at Consort Nursing Home. She's been there for nearly two years. I would highly recommend Consort to anyone who is looking for a really well-run and friendly place. Every time I visit, everyone is so helpful and they treat Mum really well. I know she is safe and getting the best treatment and care possible.

Review from Anne H (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 April 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was admitted for end of life care on 2nd December 2016. She eventually died on 26th February after receiving excellent care. We are a big family and mum had a constant stream of visitors but we were never made to feel in the way. In fact, quite the opposite as they could not do enough for us. I was so upset mum had to go in a home but she was too ill to be at home and no more could be done for her. My views have now changed as she was looked after so well. The night she died we were able to stay with her until she passed away and the staff were so comforting. We cannot thank them all enough for how they looked after mum and enabling her to retain her dignity to the end. I would highly recommend Consort House Nursing Home to anyone seeking a home where Care is of the utmost importance. Mum also had a lovely large bright room which was cleaned daily. I cannot comment on the activities as mum was too ill to take part but I know there was a lot going on.
Thank you all.
