A lovely care home where both my grandparents spent the end of their lives. They were well cared for by friendly staff who supported both them and the family. They had a varied range of meals and were catered for, including specific dietary requirements. Their room was always very hygienic and they were always dressed in clean clothes and had clean bedding.
My dear sister was only in your care for four days. What care, compassion, respect and dignity were shown to my sister in her last days by your amazing staff was beyond 100% perfect. We could not have asked for anything more. Big thank you, to you and all your wonderful staff. Thank you all.
Seymour Court was certainly the perfect place to be for the final 4 days of my sister's life for her end-of-care treatment. She was sent there from Derriford Hospital. From the time she arrived on the Tuesday until she passed away on Friday, she was treated by every member of staff with the utmost care, dignity and affection. Nothing was too much trouble if any of the family members needed a cup of tea, just a simple cuddle or just a chat they were all there for us. It made us all feel like we had known every member for years. When my sister passed the dignity they all showed to her was exceptional there are not enough words to tell you all how much you helped us all through this difficult time in our lives. True angels in disguise one and all.
Staff are lovely.
Seymour Court has been the right place for my brother to live the final seven years of his life. I viewed ten homes to find somewhere for my brother to go after being discharged from a stroke rehab unit, and this was the last one I visited (saved the best till last). I turned up unannounced and was greeted warmly by the manager. Immediately I was given a sense of confidence that it would be the right place for my brother, and that has been the case. They have always treated my brother with care, dignity, interest and affection. Being younger than most of the residents, my brother, having been there a long time, has seen inevitable changes in personnel, but the continuity and standard of care, even though the Covid pandemic, has been consistently good. The manager and the nursing lead have always treated me well and made me feel like we were all part of my brother's family.
My mum has been a resident at Seymour Court for a year now. I cannot fault the amazing staff for their love, care and attention to everyone there. The manager manages an amazing team of staff. She is also very approachable and helpful in everything. For the first time in eight years, I can relax and know that my mum is so well cared for. I also know that for any changes, they will contact me straight away. It's always very clean, the food is amazing, and the staff become a second family, which when you have a loved one so poorly is so very important. I cannot thank you all enough for looking after her; such a massive change in her overall well-being since being there. We love all of you.
Our friend and neighbour, who recently passed away, was receiving palliative care at Seymour Court. We could not fault the level of care that was given to him over the period that he was a resident there. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming towards us and always took the time to update us on current developments. The compassion and care that we saw being given to our friend was outstanding. The manager of Seymour Court spent a lot of time in discussion with us, both personally and on the phone; she is to be congratulated on her leadership of the team.
My dad was moved into Seymour Court from a care home as he had begun to deteriorate. We found the staff at the home incredible, caring and compassionate and treated him with respect at all times. He was well looked after. My sister and I were able to see him regularly and were made to feel welcome all the time. We fully recommend Seymour Court. We were always kept informed if there were any changes to his health. We cannot thank all the staff enough.
The home is well-managed, staffed by the most caring, gentle and considerate people. They all contributed to making my mother's few remaining moments a calm and peaceful time, showing compassion and understanding and treated with dignity. At a difficult time, they showed love and understanding; they are all a credit to their profession. We, as a family, could not have asked for a better environment and care.
Every member of staff is friendly, respectful, helpful, loving and caring, and nothing is a problem.
For my mum, it was the same as being at home. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my mum to spend her last months.
My mother has been at Seymour Court for nine months, and during that time, the care she has received has been second to none. The staff and management really are like an extended family. They treat Mum with love and respect. The home itself is spotlessly clean, and the food is perfect. All are freshly cooked onsite daily. Seymour Cour is most definitely a 10/10.
During the 15 months of my stay, I was treated expertly at all times. Even though my initial behaviour was extremely challenging. Sent from Derriford Hospital as an end-of-life patient unknown to me, thanks to the love and excellent treatment of all at Seymour court I'm now living in an extra care retirement home. I owe my life to them, words can't convey the love and respect I have for them all. They are a wonderful group of dedicated people. My eternal thanks to them all.
We all wish you the very best in the new chapter of your life. We are eternally grateful to have been fortunate to share this part of your journey with you. Thank you for your fantastic company and for the amazing morning debates! Maybe you should run for Prime Minister! Good luck with everything.
All the team
Mum had a really lovely seven-week period of respite care at Seymour Court. All the staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The home itself was clean and well-maintained, and Mum's room was bright and airy. The meals looked delicious, and there was a constant supply of tea and cake. As a family member, I was always made to feel welcome visiting regularly. It was so reassuring to know Mum was in a safe and caring place.
My father was at this fantastic home for 19 months until his death on September 25th. All the staff are so caring and treat the residents like family. The manager is very professional, and the head nurse is a remarkable lady. She did a long shift to be with Dad until the end, something I will never forget. As I live away, I couldn't visit as often as I would have liked, but knew Dad was comfortable and well cared for. The food is great; Dad loved Friday fish and chip day with mushy peas. Seymour Court is so special - to give them 100% is not enough. I will never forget all you have done for my dad; thanks to every one of you.
My husband received end of life care in this wonderful home. The staff are so supportive, nothing was ever too much trouble, they work together and make a great team. The nurses are also very knowledgeable, always on hand to answer any queries, all led by a very competent and caring manager. The food is cooked fresh daily and is delicious, thanks to two very talented chefs. In such a difficult time, Seymour Court became our port in the storm, we are so thankful to all the staff for the exceptional care and support, not only for my husband but for us also.
My father was only under their care for six days as he was end of life, but the care given was excellent. His dignity was returned after being in the hospital for three weeks. All the carers were supportive towards us all, and nothing was too much trouble. Food looked and smelt appetising, and his room was so cosy and welcoming.
It has been amazing the care that has and is being delivered by the team - Dad has enjoyed every meal, all fresh ingredients and freshly made in the kitchen.
Thank you for helping support not only Dad but all of the family and friends. Mum and I have found this a great comfort to know that the staff all want to help and care.
The care my father-in-law received from the staff at this home was outstanding. The staff are excellent and by far the best nursing home in the area. Very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend Seymour Court!
Nothing negative to say. Staff, care, cleanliness and food are all first class.
My partner recently spent time in Seymour Court on an end of life pathway. The care, respect, dignity and professionalism shown to her by all the staff was amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble to make sure she was always clean and tidy, and regularly checked and comfortable. Not only that, but I, in particular, and the whole family were treated with respect and kept informed at all times. So would highly recommend Seymour Court for care and support.
