My sister loves it at Abbey Court, the place and the staff. Would be nice to know when her room is going to be refurbished as a lot of the place has been. She's a bit concerned about moving out of her room while it's being done.

Overall Experience

Staff are always polite and ready to help. They treat my mum like a friend and look after her well. They keep me up to date with phone calls and have helped with hospital appointments. If I need to ring and ask questions they will help. The service is much better now that there are dedicated staff on reception

Review from D W (Son of Resident) published on 1 September 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at the home are caring and attentive, displaying levels of patience with the residents consistent with hopes and expectations despite the challenges presented by the conditions of most of the residents. They always react quickly to problems - notably residents' health issues - and inform relatives promptly, although subsequent updates can be a little sporadic and we have had some difficulties getting responses at weekends when administrative staffing levels are reduced. Initially the interior of the home's physical appearance was rather "tired" but the investment made since the change of ownership has resulted in welcome improvements. Hopefully this initiative will continue to cover the residents' rooms. Overall though, we have no significant complaints about the home or the standard of care it provides.

Reply from Lesley Bennett-Collins, Registered Manager at Abbey Court Nursing and Residential Home

Thank you for your kind words which I will relay to all the staff. We appreciate your comments and we are also pleased with the home improvement's and are making good progress which will include all the bedrooms.

Review from J R (Sister of Resident) published on 27 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My brother was seriously not coping living alone and quite unwell when he came into Abbey Court.
This was February 2026.
It took him several weeks to settle but ,with the kindness and care given to him ,then looked so much better both physically and mentally.
He now has his room surrounded with paintings he has created in the past so it feels like a new home .
Arrangements have been made recently so that his medical care eg repeat injections care been administered in the care home which is very helpful.

He has had also good conversations with the part time weekend staff who bring extra insights into the home.

My brother has been living here for nearly two years and has settled in well. During that time Abbey Court has changed hands and it is good to see investment and refurbishment from the new company. Staff are attentive and helpful and my brother is well looked after. Happy to recommend.

Review from Suzanne S (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum's journey which resulted in her being moved into the home was a very difficult one. Her dementia means she can be challenging but the staff from my experience handle her with care and compassion. Any concerns have been dealt with & communication is good. The home is comfortable and clean and mum is well fed and hydrated. Recently a new entertainment lady has been engaging mum with various activities including knitting and I really appreciate her efforts.

Reply from Lesley Bennett-Collins, Registered Manager at Abbey Court Nursing and Residential Home

Thankyou so much for your review I will convey your kind words to all the staff. I am pleased that you are happy with the care and support given to your Mum. It is nice to hear that our new activities co-ordinator is engaging with your loved one.

Overall Experience

After searching for a care home, my husband and I found the one on an unannounced visit. The staff were very friendly and showed us around without hesitation, the manager and senior nurse were especially helpful and gave good advice. Our dear friend was admitted and was looked after. He said it was like a hotel, and loved his room and the care he received. Thank you all for your services.

Overall Experience
My father has just moved into Abbey Court two weeks ago and we are delighted with how well he has settled in so far. Lesley was extremely helpful and made the whole process so much easier. The staff appear friendly and caring and very supportive. Dad has said the food has been lovely and he loves the extra portions they always let him have.
Early days but definitely so far so good.

I would thoroughly recommend anyone who is apprehensive to visit here for their families care.

Review from Sarah C (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has now been in Abbey Court for the last two years since she lost her mobility.
She has settled in well into her spacious room with all her needs being catered for and has made numerous friends with other residents.
The staff at the home are very caring and treat mum like their own mum and I feel happy to leave her in their care. They listen and action any requests that I have.

Since the home was sold to Your Health in August 2025 we can see changes coming in to improve the home and the residents experience and I am looking forward to future changes in 2026 in the communal area's and bedrooms.

Review from James L (Respite Resident) published on 28 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have just completed 4 weeks of respite care at the Abbey Court Nursing Home in Derby and found the staff to be very hard-working while still retaining a cheerful demeanour. Their treatment of the residents was 1st class. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the way they made sure everyone felt they were special was a pleasure to watch. They are a credit to the home and their job.

Review from Janet S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother came into the home in January in a rather disturbed state. It took her a few weeks to settle down but due to the exceptionally kind and caring response, she received when staff were dealing with her problems she has now settled happily. I visit regularly and never fail to be impressed by the way the staff keep the place so clean and tidy. I have never once walked in and smelled wee! Something that cannot be said for other homes I have visited.
It is also a pleasure to go there and experience the joking and lighthearted attitude staff keep up with the residents, to make them laugh, and the care they give is second to none. When we only have to put the TV on to hear horror stories of people being mistreated in homes it is very reassuring to find places like Abbey Court still exist.

I would recommend Abbey Court to anyone as a home that puts people's health, safety and state of mind first.

Lesley Bennett-CollinsJob Title Registered Home ManagerJoined 2023

I started my career in nursing as a student mental health nurse in 1988. Upon qualifying, I worked in all clinical areas of mental health, from elderly, rehabilitation, acute and perinatal care until I retired after many years. It was only a short while before I realised I missed my role as a nurse and returned to part-time care homes that specialised in dementia. It was not long before I found myself working full-time nurse, then Deputy manager and now Registered manager.

I love my role as Registered Manager, although this comes with challenges along the way, the rewards are countless. My goal is to provide a loving, caring forever home where our Residents are happy and feel safe, and a workplace that my team are proud to work at.
