We are very pleased with the care Mum receives. She enjoys the food, homely atmosphere and the activities which are starting up again. We find the staff helpful, friendly and committed to the care and well-being of residents. Mum is thriving since she moved in, we see huge improvements in her mental and physical health.
We are very pleased with how Mum has settled in. She is enjoying the company and the food. The staff are very helpful and committed. Mum has enjoyed the activities and her mental and physical health has improved.
Staff appear to be clean and efficient. They are friendly. Visits at weekends are not possible by reason of Covid but are desired.
From the first step into the home, you get a warm welcome from either the manager or reception or even both. All the staff are very talkative and very friendly. The home is kept nice and clean. I can be in there for a couple of hours and always see cleaners around. They have some lovely gardens with an avery, a summer house and a pond. Before Covid, they went out on day trips to the pub for a meal. All in all, it is a very lovely and caring home.
I feel my father is well cared for by committed staff.
They've done great to keep out Covid-19 until recently.
Father has been at Henlow Court for two weeks. The support from all the staff has been excellent. Very professional and understanding during a difficult time. Thank you so much.
My sister has only been in Henlow Court since October but I would like to thank the management and staff for their kindness, care and proficiency. Not only to my sister but to all the residents. My priority for my sister is knowing she is being well cared for and happy and in my opinion, she could not be in a better place and I would not hesitate to recommend Henlow Court to anyone.
She is encouraged to participate in day room activities. We are so pleased with the care and support given to my mother. Thank you.
Well done staff you are all stars. Thank you Henlow and all staff.
My husband really enjoyed his stay at Henlow Court. The staff were friendly and caring. He particularly enjoyed the food which he said was wonderful.
My Mother in Law became a resident for end of life care and has settled in extremely well, in fact, gaining a new higher energy level. The staff have been extremely kind and helpful in her transition from her own home to Henlow Court.
Mum arrived at Henlow aged 93 having been independent until then. She was a bit scared and thought she would have to "join in" and eat communally. The staff at Henlow listened to what we said, made her feel at home and she has greatly improved whilst under their care. She came in a wheelchair and now she is taking off by herself with a walking frame!
Before moving to Henlow Court, I lived in a single storey barn conversion. I have lung disease M.S. and malignant cancer with very little mobility and unable to do anything for myself. It was as if I had outlived my usefulness. Since coming to Henlow Court its as if I have a new lease of life. All the staff are so helpful and caring. I now have an electric wheelchair, once they have put me on it I can get around the home and socialise with other residents and join in the many activities they organise. They take residents out locally to places of interest. Also, many groups come in. There is a restful secret garden with fish and an Avery and a veg patch for residents. I can now play Scrabble, dominoes and Mah Jong and the card game frustration. To sum up, you could not wish for better care.
Although this home isn't terribly smart and sparkling clean all the time, the people who work here are amazingly wonderful - much more important than how smart it looks. Everyone is so kind, respectful, genuine and caring. My family are very grateful to them all.
My cousin is very happy and comfortable at Henlow where she has lived for 2 years. The staff and management are very kind and professional, and the food is generally good. We are extremely happy with the overall standards provided.
It was most definitely the best care home in the area. Many of his visitors were impressed and stated if it came to it, this is where they would want to be. My husband passed away mid-August.
Attention to detail and diligent housekeeping where the large sitting rooms are tastefully decorated to reflect choices of an older generation.
Plenty of activities, outings and entertainment on offer include visitors and volunteers.
Occasional upsets are swiftly dealt with.
If I ever need care I hope there will be a space for me!
I cannot praise Henlow Court enough. The care my mother received was exceptional. The staff were very caring and helpful at all times, and all tasks were completed with the dignity of my mother respected. It was always clean and fresh and the food was freshly cooked and of good quality. Nothing was too much trouble for the kitchen staff. If my father needed a care home placement I would like him to be in this home.
She has been very happy at Henlow, filling her time with the many activities that are available and also the many things that are on offer.
We can see that she is being very well cared for in a very loving way.
Staff are always happy and we have found them all very friendly. There is always lots of fun in everything that goes on. It puts our minds at ease to know that all her needs are being looked after.
