Seymour Court has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.550) out of 10, based on 20 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Seymour Court has 100 reviews.
My mothers stay and care was extremely good. The staff (all) treated my mum in such a gentle and sympathetic manner. All of our family were made welcome, kept well informed. In my mum's final days we were checked on regularly, offered tea and biscuits. I would gladly recommend this care home.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to write this review. Our staff greatly appreciate this feedback and we are pleased that we could support you all at this difficult time.
The food is always varied and nothing is too much especially if mum wanted something different then they would go and get whatever she asked for. They have mum pain free and that is our priority at this time.
I can only describe all the staff as angels, they are truly dedicated to the residents and their needs.
I cannot thank them enough. AMAZING.
Thank you for your kind words - the staff will be thrilled. It has been a privilege to share in mum's journey and with you as a family. I wish to thank you especially for your decency and fabulous treatment of our team. It has been an absolute pleasure to look after mum.
My grandmother is a resident of Seymour court and has been since September 2024, we can not thank the staff enough for their patience, help, support and understanding of my gran. Her health has declined since her arrival, they always lead with kindness and such tender care, the staff have the kindest heart and always show us and my gran so much grace. We as a family can't thank them enough for all they do everyday, they truly are an amazing team.
Overcrowded- sharing a room with a curtain to divide residents. No ventilation. One shared sink. Bed not suitable, cannot stretch his legs (being checked for foot sores). Boxes of supplies stored in the room. No room for the residents wheelchair in the room with visitors. Staff coming to give my brother in law medication while he's eating his lunch? Staff not patient with residents. On staff member seen on his mobile while feeding a resident. Lack of care, compassion and tolerance.
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that this is your experience of the care your brother- in- law received at Seymour Court. We are always striving to improve our service and will certainly learn lessons from your comments.
My mother was admitted as a NHS emergency and given lovely bright room with a good view. The staff took their time on admission explaining procedures and together with palliative care staff undertook an assessment regarding funding. Mum settled in well and despite her life ending prognosis made friends with other residents during her 18 day stay. Her condition deteriorated and all staff were very caring in helping her adjust to the pain she experienced, with several dr visits. Sadly mum passed away on 5/3/26. We were informed very soon after we visited. Throughout her stay she was treated with kindness and dignity.
We can only praise the staff for the care, compassion and wonderful service for my husband, me and my family. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us.
We cannot thank Seymour Court Nursing Home enough for the exceptional care given to our father. He first came for respite in 2023 and became a permanent resident from January 2025 until he passed away in January 2026. Dad loved the activities, friendly faces and superb food, and we were always warmly welcomed. Staff treated him with patience, humour and dignity, supporting his independence and adapting as Parkinson's and Lewy Body dementia progressed. The nurses kept us informed and reassured throughout. Every member of the team ensured Dad was always clean, comfortable and well cared for. We are especially grateful to Scarlett, Amy, Cherry, Cheryl, Pasand, Jean, Brenda, Kath, Mariah and Jessie on nights. Seymour Court gave our father comfort, dignity and genuine kindness, for which we will always be thankful.
The care in which he received was always exemplary.
At the time of his passing we as a family spent more time with him often staying with him overnight and again we were treated like one of the Seymour Court families.
For Ayesh and I our time spent with the residence during the family evenings with food and cheer will always remain fondly in our memories and will treasure.
Marie Claire always made us feel incredibly welcome despite being on her own journey.
The nursing team always kept us up to date through every step in David's journey and no matter how busy they may have been we always felt listened to and that we were given their time.
The HCAs are very much the solid foundation of a well functioning team.
All in all we could not have asked for anything more from Seymour court during David's 18 month stay.
I could not fault the care and kindness shown by all staff, not only for my sister, but to myself and brother when visiting. Friendly, but not intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble in all aspects of the sad situation that we found our family in. Thank you to each and everyone at Seymour Court.
Seymour Court is absolutely fantastic. The staff and carers are amazing, very caring, friendly and can't do enough for the residents. It's spotlessly clean everywhere, and the meals they do there for the residents are beautiful and cooked fresh on the premises. I would recommend this home, it's top class, I would give five stars.
My father was placed in a ground floor room so he could be monitored frequently and medication could be administered when required. The staff were professional and dedicated and provided the care and wellbeing of my father throughout his short stay. A big thank you to all staff who were friendly and a constant source of comfort.
From the first day my father went into Seymour Court he's had such an amazing care and attention. He settled in well. He enjoyed the food from the manager/nurses and carers, kitchen staff, domestic staff all work very hard and they are a good team. My father passed away in May 2025 he was given dignity, loving care not just to my dad but to us as a family we could stay with with which was comforting for us all. The only thing id like to mention is I think the clothes should be ironed once washed I didn't like seeing my dad in creased clothes. I had to take his clothes home.
What a wonderful caring home my father was in there for a short while and could not fault it it was clean and all staff were very attentive at all times .food was lovely and all staff worked hard and had great empathy and a genuine care for residents .thankyou all so much .my dad was moved to a home nearer to where we live . Thankyou all again.
Always pleasantly dealt with by everyone at this nursing home. My sister is well cared for.
I cannot praise the entire team at the nursing home, she was treated with such dignity and compassion from all the team as we as a family were, nothing was too much trouble.
The nursing team were amazing as the care team and also the food was lovely and everyone so warm and friendly. Well done Seymour Court.
I realise a negative comment will not be printed, but question the validity of only printing 'excellent ones, some dating from 2018. Reviews posted regarding Seymour Court bear little resemblance to my experience, or those of other visitors, of over 3½ months, I visited my husband every day. Taking everything into consideration, and reading the daily diary that I had kept, together with visitors' comments, I feel that overall, my husband's care was often not good. Sadly, unlike some comments left, I often didn't feel confident when leaving my husband and at times left the Home very upset. When visiting my husband in the Funeral Home, although heartbreaking, it was such a relief to see him looking like his old self, so clean, tidy and well cared for, for the first time in 3 months.
It is naturally very disappointing to read reviews such as the above and feel saddened that this was your experience. Whilst recollections may vary, I believe that our staff genuinely tried their best to meet your expectations. Under our duty of candour and for purposes of transparency, we would...
After visiting a very good friend, surveying myself for future reference as I'm now 80 years of age and living alone, looking to the future as I would be more than happy to be a resident. I've had a lovely conversation with a young man who I gather was going an "inspection" at the time, everything was great - faultless. It was a pleasure to visit your building.
During the last few months of my aunt's life, she stayed at this care home and received exceptional care. The staff from nurses to care, catering, cleaning and management were extremely warm, attentive and professional. My aunt spoke to me about the great care, assistance and dignity she was afforded. When I first flew from abroad to be with her at the end, I was shown every kindness. Senior management went above and beyond finding me a space to complete some unavoidable work which allowed me to stay close to my aunt until the very end. Every member of the team treated her and me with absolute respect and warmth. I highly recommend this care home without reservation, it restored my faith in the quality of care homes.
My husband couldn't have better care, everyone was very caring and helpful to us both. I would recommend this home to anyone.
When my aunt first arrived in the care home she was very distraught and did not want to go on living. There were various problems along the way but as time went on, both the manager and staff dealt with them in a kind and professional manner. They did all they could to make her stay as comfortable as possible and were always ready to give comfort, support and advice to her family. After every visit, it was hard to leave my aunt but we always felt she was in safe hands.
