When I first arrived at Bay Tree court, I was favourably impressed. The care seemed excellent and a nurse was on hand to back up the carers. However a week after arriving the nurse noticed that all was not well. I appeared weak and she immediately called a doctor who sent me straight to hospital -...
I stayed five weeks and then returned to Bay Tree court where I been assured there would be physios to help with my recovery. Unfortunately I found this was not true and also the nurses were gradually dismissed. I was advised to find another home which could give me adequate nursing care.

Mum has stayed in several Care Homes in this area for short periods but she couldn't get on with any of them. Bay Tree has been totally different. She settled almost instantly. She likes the staff (and my mum has very high standards) and the warm, caring and considerate way they treat her. The staff are constantly patient. She likes her light and spacious room and how the en-suite is always kept immaculately clean. She enjoys the tasty food and how the staff are more than willing to accommodate her passion for fresh fruit. When the weather is good a member of staff takes her around the garden - something she loves, even though she can see little. Mum has now accepted that this is the place for her to live long-term - somewhere where she feels safe and secure and cared for. The place is a God-send for her.

Over the last few months she has become more frail and often gets muddled and confused. Throughout mums stay she has received excellent care which is delivered by the staff with patience and calmness. The whole atmosphere of the home is relaxed and friendly. A great effort was made to make Christmas a special event when I joined mum for Christmas lunch. The food is of excellent quality and service very professional. Thank you to all staff.

My mother has been happy at Bay Tree Court unfortunately after a few months of arriving her health deteriorated and she not been so involved with activities and outings. The staff are kind, patient and caring. My sister and I recently attended a reception to meet the new manager and came away having no idea of who she was as no introduction was made! I think the rooms are rather dull and could do with some fresh decoration.

Fiona has been Bay Tree Court Home Manager in Prestbury, since March 2024.
In August 2021 Fiona was appointed as the Home Manager of Royal Court Care Home, having been Deputy Manager since 2019.
After Fiona left school she started working in an office, it was her older sister who worked in a care home who encouraged her to change jobs; Fiona found she really enjoyed it and never looked back. After her first couple of roles, Fiona gained a decade of experience at a local care home working her way up to be a Senior Carer. During this time she completed her NVQ level 3 and gained a Diploma in Health & Social Care.
Fiona was promoted to the position of Home trainer, which included training 70 to 80 staff in a wide range of skills as well as being an NVQ assessor and organising student nurse placements. However, this role meant she had a lot less time with the residents so when Fiona saw a Senior Carer role at Royal Court she took the opportunity to change. She became Team Leader after a year or so, became Deputy Manager in 2019 and Home Manager in the summer of 2021.
