Best care home ever, the best staff makes you feel welcome and at home. Great care for visitors and residents nobody could do better than this care home looked after my nana so well that I'll never forget this place.
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. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
She was well cared for and treated with dignity and respect.
The carers were kind and compassionate and took an interest in her.
She particularly enjoyed the activities which were ongoing and the outings.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like "Respect" and "Compassionate" being used to describe our care.
Some staff are very friendly and helpful, a couple especially so. Not happy that people don't seem to help to commode at night. My wife likes to garden and would appreciate the chance to do more. Overall reasonably happy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents and our resident's health and well-being is an absolute priority. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your wife's stay as comfortable as possible.
Mum has settled in well and has been very well looked after by all the staff who always have a smile for her and a chat.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Aylesham Court Care Home. We are thrilled that your Mum has settled in so well to the home. It is lovely that she has bonded with the staff and that they take the time to smile and chat with her. We hope Mum continues to enjoy her stay in the home.
I am quite happy here but things have changed somewhat since I came. New systems are good! The staff are all caring and considerate but they do not have the time to do all they are expected to do. This counts all staff, house, kitchen, and caring staff. I feel safe which is the main thing.
Thank you for taking the time to leave the staff at Aylesham Court Care Home a review. We are thrilled that you feel safe and happy in the home. We also appreciate that the staff are so busy within the home delivering the care needed and take on board your comments. Best wishes and we hope you continue to enjoy your stay at the home.
Mum has been at Aylesham Court for five months now, and I have nothing but praise for all the staff there. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Food and activities are amazing, communication is excellent, and we are always kept informed.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one has not only settled into our home really well but also feel they are cared for and looked after excellently too. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
This home is just amazing! All of the staff go above and beyond! The cleanliness, the care, the facilities are all just amazing! Having your loved one in a home is difficult enough but being in this home makes it that much easier as we know how much they are loved. Today the home went above and beyond for our Diamond Anniversary. We can't thank them all enough for looking after my friend so well and for making our Diamond Anniversary so special! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like "go above and beyond" being used to describe our care. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your loved one in our care. We hope to continue providing them with the best possible care. Congratulations once again on your Diamond Anniversary and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Right from our very first meeting with the manager, everything was about the care of, and how care would be provided to, my father. Clearly the quality of the structure of the home and facilities were important but it was reassuring to hear for the first time on our rounds of homes the emphasis on how my father would be cared for given his considerable needs. The staff have all been fantastic, the same familiar faces there the whole 11 months my father was there. The food was excellent as evidenced by my father's healthy appetite. Just one observation, it would be nice to have an extra person with time to chat or read, play a game with those who are bedbound.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope Aylesham Court Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible and we are pleased to hear that you felt reassured with your father being in our care. We are glad to hear that you were impressed with the delicious meals and...
Mam has settled really well. The staff have been very good at getting her to feel at home. Since arriving, she has become more confident and can enjoy her life now that her pain relief is being attended to 24 hours a day. She's so pleased to have come here.
Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased to hear that your loved one has settled in well and that she is becoming more confident at Aylesham Court Care Home.

We were so impressed with the home and the staff and we made the right choice for our relative. Thank you for looking after them so much.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your loved one in our care, and we will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
Our mum stayed at Aylesham Court for 2 weeks respite care. I think it is fair to say that she really did not want to go but we cannot thank the team enough for the experience she had. The quality was excellent, she settled well and most importantly, felt safe. We expected her to spend all of the time in her room but she got involved in the activities and used the lounge/dining room. Thank you so much as it allowed me to take a much-needed break.
Thank you for your lovely words. We hope Aylesham Court Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible and we are pleased to hear that your mum got involved in our fun activities and that she felt safe and content. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
All the staff are very caring and helpful which has been a great help to us. We know we can go on holiday without having to worry about Mum's care and attention. I have put poor down for activities because we are still waiting for someone to be employed.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are pleased to hear that you are impressed with the care and helpfulness provided at Aylesham Court Care Home. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them improve their service.
My mum who has dementia was struggling with anxiety and fear before she came here, but seeing her today has put my mind at rest tremendously she loves the staff and seems really settled, which I am very happy about.
I would choose this home as a permanent residence should Mum need more help than we could give her, knowing that she would be looked after by Aylesham Court and surrounded by good people 24/7.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy to hear that you feel that your Mum is being well supported whilst staying for respite care. Thank you for choosing us and we would be happy to help again should your Mum require a further stay.
In need of palliative care, our sister has been empowered to lead her own care and social activities which the team have moderated each day, according to how she feels. They have ensured she remained engaged and feeling fulfilled.
We have been struck by the team’s excellent communication and by how responsive everyone is to the smallest change.
The team have treated our sister, and us, with respect, making every effort to welcome us and to get to know us as individuals.
Our sister has received a personalised service which meets her needs and has been beautifully tailored to enable her to be her best self each day, allowing her vibrant personality to continue to shine.
We feel so fortunate that our sister was able to be cared for at Aylesham Court and privileged to have met a truly outstanding team.
Thank you for your kind words. It is incredible to hear how our staff have made what can be a difficult transition that much easier for both your sister and your family. Hearing words such as "beautifully tailored" and "excellent" being used to describe the care and activities provided is wonderful. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
All the staff were very nice, it felt like home. They look after my wife with very good care.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after so well in our home. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
In a very short time, they understood my sister's needs and catered for them as required.
The home is clean, my sister's room is comfortable and the food very appealing.
All the staff, without exception, are outstanding.
As a family, we couldn’t be happier.
Thank you Aylesham Court.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your sister in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make her stay as comfortable as possible.
My father has been in the home for almost 12 months and the care and treatment he has received has been second to none. He had fallen ill in December 2023 and the staff called an ambulance and stayed with him, reassuring him along the way until he was taken to hospital. Unfortunately, he passed away last week but was really looking forward to 'getting back home' to watch the TV and see his nurses. Four members of staff in particular and the team have been amazing. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make the last months of his life comfortable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the compassion this team give on a day-to-day basis. Highly recommended if you have concerns about placing your parents or grandparents - nothing to worry about at Aylesham Court.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your lovely comments. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we are saddened to hear about your loss. We are so pleased to hear that you and your family had a positive experience with Aylesham Court and hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
The team have been absolutely amazing, so accommodating and made my mum, along with all of her many family and friends, feel so welcome. It really is a home away from home. The staff have been incredible in supporting us to organise my mum's 60th birthday - fish and chip van at the home along with allowing around fifty of us to celebrate in their private family room.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are happy to hear you feel like a part of our Aylesham Court family. We are so pleased to hear that the home went above and beyond to make your mum's birthday special. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
I found this place by chance whilst my uncle was in another very poor nursing home in the city. Management from the very start were fabulous, they instantly gave help, guidance, care and showed compassion. The outside on approach was great, the entrance was spotless no horrid smells, it has a key code to enter [or bell] and great parking. Reception was fabulous along with the pet cat. The rooms set on two floors are great, most with fab views via stairs or lift. Facilities are unbelievable, bar, (yes!), Visitors can come and go as they please at any hour of the day or night. Refreshments are free for visitors, you can even get fed if you are nice. I won't even begin to elaborate on the staff. Suffice to say with hand on heart, not a single staff member let our family down, not once. A nurse is there full-time. Everyone should be very proud of themselves each and every one, at every job level an utter credit to this home. This place deserves `outstanding` Thank you so much.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely review. We are so glad to hear that after a poor experience from another home, we have been able to restore your faith in Care Services in general, and that you have felt so at ease knowing your Uncle has received such outstanding care. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
The level of care was beyond anything I could have imagined.
You made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and in the last few hours you didn't only take care of Neil but you respectfully took care of us too.
Jane was simply amazing.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are so pleased to hear our care home staff went so above and beyond not only making sure your Brother-in-Law was well cared for, but you were too as the family. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
