Then earlier this year me and my husband found ourselves looking for a carehome for my mother in law, we approached Amandeep and she helped us greatly and we moved her in to ardenlea court. Where we know she's receiving amazing care.

In the short stay my wife Shirley spent here it could not have been better.
We really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for choosing Ardenlea Court.
The last year has been a blessing for us both and we could not be in a better place for all her needs.
We appreciate you sharing your experience with our home.

Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted to hear how well your friend has settled in with us at Ardenlea Court care home. We appreciate your feedback about our kind staff too, we are fortunate to have such a dedicated team. Please reach out if there is anything more you need.
In my experience, the care I've seen is of a good standard. Staff are friendly & welcoming, & work hard in sometimes difficult circumstances. Both housekeeping & care/nursing staff are on hand if they are needed. Communication with family members is good & they seem to know their patients well. Activities & entertainment are regularly provided. Thank you.
We're so grateful that you've taken the time to share your thoughts. It is always lovely to hear words like "Friendly" and "Welcoming" being used to describe our staff. Hearing that our care has made a difference to you and your family is truly rewarding. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.
The reception area and cafe are very welcoming and the receptionists are extremely helpful. The nurses are knowledgeable and caring, always having a smile on their face and they manage difficult situations with the upmost professionalism. We want to thank everyone for their hard work and commitment in the home.
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you feel like your Dad is a valued member of our Ardenlea Court family and that our staff are always friendly and helpful. Thank you again for your kind review.
My brother-in-law has just recently moved into Arden Lea Court. From the first day the staff made him feel very welcome and helped him settle. We as a family were nervous for him, as he had never been away from the family until he had a stroke and was in hospital. Seeing him in Arden Lea looking well, bright and happy means alot to the family. This promises to be a good new period in his life.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. Knowing that you feel reassured about your loved one's care is the best feedback we can receive. We're committed to continuing to support you and your family in every way we can.
My father was cared for at Ardenlea Court for eleven weeks. During this time, the care, respect and companionship he received were never less than outstanding. As visitors were made welcome and felt that the staff really knew my father. While everybody at Ardenlea is hardworking, selfless and professional, particular credit should be extended to the nursing staff, who were understanding, patient and totally respectful of my father's wishes throughout, and especially during his final couple of weeks. We are so pleased that the final time was at Ardenlea.
Your review means a great deal to our team and we're so grateful you shared your experience. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. Your comments are a testament to the dedication of everyone in the home. Thank you for recognizing the care and dedication of our team....
Ardenlea Court is a very friendly and caring home. Staff are very courteous and so lovely. They are compassionate and empathetic towards the resident and treat them with respect. The management team are also very friendly and caring. They feel more like your friends than employees of the home.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like "Compassionate" and "empathetic" being used to describe our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved one's stay as comfortable as possible.
I am so happy with the care Mom receives by the staff that look after her.
Mothers Day was a wonderful experience and nothing was too much trouble.
We both shared a lovely afternoon tea together and made special memories.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We are glad to hear to hear that Ardenlea Court Care Home helped in providing special memories for you and your Mom.
We started at Ardenlea Court earlier this month and it has been running for the last 4 weeks. We were looking to start an intergenerational toddler group and we were delighted when Ardenlea Court were keen to partner with us on this project. It has been a joy to work with the staff to provide this enriching opportunity for the residents and the toddlers who attend.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The staff are friendly and very helpful and have a lovely relationship with the residents. Staff are attentive to residents' needs and offer them many wonderful opportunities throughout the week.
Thank you for your lovely review. It's always nice to hear from people in the community that they feel welcomed and feel appreciated. It is always nice to hear words like "friendly and very helpful" being used to describe our care. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
All the staff were very caring and professional during my three week stay after an operation. Living alone after the death of my wife, I wanted support available immediately after the operation and then two weeks later when my catheter was removed as I was unsure what the impact of my incontinence would be. The inclusive laundry service was a key factor. I was able to self medicate most of my medication, but the nurses did the injections I required until I was confident enough to do them myself. The food was so much better than in the hospital. With the daily pastries, I was able to treat myself and start to enjoy my recovery more as a holiday. I enjoyed talking with all the staff as I recovered as I felt that they took time to be friendly and listen to me. I was pleased with my stay as it was certainly a major contributory factor to my recovery.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to have helped you through such a difficult time. It is always nice to hear words like "Caring" and "Professional" being used to describe our care. Thank you for choosing Ardenlea Court for your stay.
Wonderful staff at all levels. Considering at offset I only had up to 7 weeks before expected death and after 9 months of 'miracle' working am now recovered enough to return home, supporting my 'independent' self. Thanks to the caring, friendly staff. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your lovely review. It is wonderful to hear that you had such a brilliant time during your stay at Ardenlea Court Care Home. We are pleased to hear that you are well enough to return home. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like you received the best possible care.
Thank you Ardenlea Court Care Home for the exceptional care that you gave to my mother during the final 6 months of her life. Mom was treated by all the staff with love, care and dignity. She was loved and cared for as if she were related to her carers and this gave me the chance to be a daughter to her again. Thank you all.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are saddened to hear about your loss. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after at Ardenlea Court...
My mother-in-law went to live in the dementia unit at Ardenlea Court Care Home in August. She settled into life there and was happy and well looked after. However, it was the impact that Ardenlea had on my wife (her daughter) which was the most heartening. After being a carer my wife was able to be a daughter again because her mother was so well cared for in the home, her relationship with her mother was once again happy.
Thank you for your lovely review about Ardenlea Court Care Home. It is always nice to hear words like "Happy" and "Well looked after" being used to describe their stay. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
Very helpful manager, got my Mom a place asap for respite care, she is now living there permanently. Carers and nurses are all very helpful and friendly, admin team are very pleasant but all new in their roles so I felt a bit lost to start with.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is wonderful to hear that your Mum is receiving high-quality care and that you can feel at ease with your loved one in our care. It is always brilliant to hear when family members are impressed with how "Helpful" and "Friendly" our staff are. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved one's stay as comfortable as possible.
My father has been at Ardenlea as a temporary resident for a few months - our first experience of care homes and I have nothing but praise for the staff and facilities there. All the staff and management are very approachable and friendly and from the interactions I've seen with my dad during visiting, they are incredibly kind and patient to the residents. My dad was admitted to hospital with an infection recently which was quickly spotted and actioned by the staff there. I can't thank them enough for all they've done for my dad and our family in supporting him so well. Thank you to everyone at Ardenlea. You are all amazing.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is always wonderful to hear words like "Approachable" and "Friendly" being used to describe our staff. It is brilliant to hear that your father's health and well-being have been closely monitored and that you and your family feel supported and at ease. Thank you for choosing Ardenlea Court for your father's stay.
It was the second time that my late mom stayed at Ardenlea. Mom was sadly diagnosed as terminally ill. We tried to manage at home, until mobility deteriorated and it became impossible. My mom was willing to do this, but only if she could go to Ardenlea. She would not consider any other. Mom went here Jan 24 and was very dependent as was now bed-bound and getting progressively worse with terminal illness. The whole team here is outstanding, all the nursing staff, carers, catering, maintenance, social/entertainment their care, kindness and support is beyond words. The personal connection to my mom is something I will treasure forever. Additionally, they supported me and the wider family up to and including my mom passing away. The respect, dignity and genuine care and kindness was wonderful. The complete team here ensured that my mom's last months/weeks were as good as they could make it. I will be forever grateful to the team for being so kind, caring and compassionate. Thank you everyone.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that we were able to care for your mom when she needed it and be there to support your family through this difficult time. We hope that knowing how well-regarded your mom was is of comfort to you now. Thank you again for taking the time to write this lovely review.
As a visitor, I was always made welcome and kept up to date regarding treatment, medications, food intake, etc. Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope Ardenlea Court Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible and we are pleased that you felt welcome and up to date. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
Ardenlea is our first experience of a care home but the care my mother receives means that we have not needed to look elsewhere.
A high level of attention is given to residents by the many staff who don't seem to pass a resident’s room without looking in to say hello and check all is ok. The GP surgery and the hospital are on the doorstep.
There are many interactive activities that ensure residents are stimulated and involved with their environment. There is a hairdresser, a coffee shop, a bar and nice gardens; some rooms have French door access to a patio.
Excellent meals are supplemented with pastries, beverages and all the treats you would have if you were at home.
The management team are responsive and deals, speedily, with any queries we may raise.
My mother is happy, safe and well cared for at Ardenlea Court: we would like to extend our thanks to those who helped to create this environment.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your mother in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make her stay as comfortable as possible.

Meet the Team (9)
I have been a qualified nurse since 2009 and my previous experience has been in the hospital settings including A&E, respiratory conditions and admission prevention in the community.
It was during my time working in the community I had the exposure to care homes and loved the atmosphere, long term care that is delivered to the residents and getting to know all of them personally.
I really enjoy working here with this team as we deliver amazing person-centred care to our residents and their family.
I am married and have a son and a dog, in my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, going on walks and being outside.
I like my profession as I enjoy taking care of people and I like Ardenlea Court as it has a real family atmosphere.
My hobbies outside work are playing guitar, painting and I also like to take part in voluntary work with children.
I have worked as a Care Assistant at Bupa since 2010.
Previous to Bupa I worked as a nurse in a polish ophthalmological hospital.
I like helping and taking care of people at Ardenlea Court.
Outside of work I am married with two children. I like reading and watching TV.
I like my role as I can use my own personal strengths every day to help residents. I am creative and empathetic which enables me to plan fun and engaging activities which enhance the lives of our residents. I leave work each day and feel that I’ve had a positive impact on at least a few residents that day. This and the lovely feedback we get from residents and relatives makes my job so rewarding.
I like Ardenlea Court in particular as Nirmal is a brilliantly supportive and fun colleague, and all team members help to support activities where needed. This creates a great working atmosphere in the home.
Outside of work, I am a huge football fan, and supporter of Liverpool FC, so watching football is my favourite hobby. I am also a big animal lover, I love cats and dogs equally but hope to adopt a rescue dog with my husband in the near future.
I love making a difference in resident's lives and making people smile and happy.
I enjoy working at Ardenlea Court and have been working for Bupa for the last 12 years. Previously I worked as a Kitchen Assistant.
Outside of work, I am married with five children and two grandchildren.
I love gardening and live local to Ardenlea Court in Solihull.
Previously I worked in retail for 3 years, which I loved as I got to meet loads of different people, but wanted a career change and decided I would like to be more involved with the social care industry as I like helping people, so when I got the receptionist role here at Ardenlea Court it meant so much to me.
I love being a receptionist and working at Ardenlea Court as I get to greet/meet visitors and different types of staff as the first point of call.
I also really enjoy helping the residents and staff by brightening up their day to day life by making them smile.Outside of work I love spending time with my family, shopping and travelling.
I've worked as a carer for 3 years and I love meeting new people every day and helping to make a difference to residents lives.
It is extremely rewarding and gives you a real sense of achievement.

I have worked at Bupa since April 2021 and am really enjoying my new role as head chef.

My favourite part of this role is meeting new people from various backgrounds. Outside of work I like to socialising and watching football at Villa Park.
I've worked as a Maintenance Manager for Bupa for 13 years.
