Review from Roger W (Son of Resident) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother entered Aylesham Court following three months in hospital where she had developed terrible bedsores. The expertise in Aylesham Court Care Home sorted this problem out wonderfully well whereas other care homes refused to take her because they felt they could not deal with the problem. Says it all! The management and staff are wonderful: Polite, helpful and completely professional. They have managed the coronavirus situation brilliantly and that will have been very demanding. I would thoroughly recommend Aylesham Court Care Home to anyone.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Aylesham Court Care Home

Review from L H (Mother of Resident) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has been in the nursing section of Aylesham Court since July 2020 and is unable to communicate and is bed bound. Due to the difficulties since his admissions due to covid, I can only compliment the management, nurses and carers for their kindness and understanding. I feel the carers have gone out of their way to make him feel welcome and made every effort to try and understand him and help in any way they can. I know he has settled well, he has indicated to me that he is happier than his previous home. My only criticism, and it is a very minor one, that I wish his room was tidier.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Aylesham Court Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We are so happy to hear that your son feels so welcomed and understood. I will certainly pass your comments about his room on to the manager.

Review from Victoria G (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our father has stayed at Aylesham Court for respite care several times, allowing us to have holidays secure in the knowledge that he is safe and very well cared for. Before we found Aylesham Court - we had looked at several care homes, none of which, I would have been comfortable placing a loved one in. When we first viewed Aylesham Court, I was utterly thrilled by the homely atmosphere, the welcoming and friendly staff, the happy residents, the cleanliness and the evident care ethic (not to mention the platters of freshly prepared fruit and homemade biscuits) - I booked respite care for my father there and then. We have never been disappointed with his care or any aspect of his stays at Aylesham Court. Focussing on his recent stay - he was welcomed back by the staff - he was happy to be back as he referred to Aylesham Court as his second home. Whilst he was there, his health suddenly deteriorated - he passed away peacefully in his sleep with dignity. We can not thank all the staff enough for taking such good care of him.

Reply from Emily Wilson, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Aylesham Court Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review, we really appreciate it. We are so sorry for your loss. Thank you for trusting us with your Father's care, we are so pleased that you felt at ease with him in our care. All the best to you and your family.

Review from David V (Brother of Resident) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Earlier today my sister died in the home and I wanted to put down my thoughts while fresh in my mind.
Without going into details my sister had been placed in a home that was totally inappropriate for her needs. After a few days, we realised that fact and urgently sought to find an alternative ourselves. We were massively lucky in contacting Aylesham Court and there being a vacancy. From the outset, the standard of care and communication has been beyond exemplary and everyone concerned has made my sister’s last days as comfortable as possible.

Having seen several homes in the last few months, I can honestly say that; Aylesham Court shines out as how a care home should be run. The dedication and attention to detail shown by the management was reflected in every member of staff.

Overall Experience

Aylesham Court is an outstanding nursing home with dedicated and compassionate staff who are totally committed to their patients and their welfare. My husband died in the home last week and I could not have wished for better care for him, and me also, during this difficult time. Absolutely outstanding!

Reply from Catherine Smith, Senior Marketing & Development Manager at Aylesham Court Care Home

Please accept our most sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, and thank you for leaving such a lovely review at this difficult time. I am so pleased the team at Aylesham Court were able to support and care for you both. Kind regards.

Review from Dawn G (Mother of Resident) published on 25 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum was a resident for 18 months at the home. She was cared for and loved by all the staff.
She was very happy at the home and felt very safe and loved.
She was terminally ill and in a lot of pain but she never felt alone and neither did our family.
My mum's nurses were wonderful and always knew what my mum wanted and needed.
The managers were always supportive, very caring and listened to any concerns towards the end of my mum's life as we were upset and needed a shoulder to lean on and nothing was ever too much trouble.
Mum and I had some very special relationships at the home and we will never forget.
I couldn’t have wished for a nicer place or staff for my mum to spend her last moments with, even at her funeral the ladies were there to say goodbye and show their love for her.
Thank you my lovely ladies and chaps, you know who you are, and thank you for your love and kindness to my special darling Mum.

I will never forget you all.

My mother has settled well at the care home. She is treated with respect and kindness. The staff are very efficient and friendly.
The care home has varied entertainment and outings. The care home take on board the resident's ideas for the home and outings.

My mother does not always enjoy the food on offer - it is not always to the same good standard, although alternatives are always offered.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Aylesham Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very happy to hear you can finally feel at ease with your mother in our care. However, we are concerned to hear about the food. This will be taken on board so we can look into improving our service.

Review from Michael L (Son of Resident) published on 25 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We had put my mum into a care home, nearly a year ago which was the hardest decision we made.
Aylesham Court is by far the best we looked at. My mum has grown from strength to strength due to the excellent care from staff and active management team who really cares about people's individual needs.

There is always some form of entertainment, appropriate to the resident's needs where there is fun, laughter and staff that understand and care about my mum, often speaking when they walk by or pop in to speak in her room. Lovely home.

Review from Deborah L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 25 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Aylesham Court is the best care home that we looked at in Leicestershire. Whenever you come, it feels friendly and a home from home with nothing being too much trouble. The reception area is lovely and it doesn't feel like a care home with flowers, books of activities, photos and comfortable chairs to sit on. The home feels like an extension of our family, staff are all lovely, food good and information shared in a confident way. Love the idea of family resident meetings where views are shared by all and residents respected.

Review from Susan W (Wife of Resident) published on 12 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband was a resident from January to February 2019. Prior to that time, he was in hospital for several months. The family were so pleased to get him to Aylesham Court where he was extremely well cared for. Nothing was too much trouble for all of the staff. Communication was obviously a key factor in the management of the home as everyone knew exactly what was happening regarding his care, how he was feeling, eating etc. The food was delicious.

As he moved towards end of life care, the nursing care stepped up. My husband was pain-free and comfortable and my family and I were treated with immense kindness by all the staff. We will always be grateful and would whole-heartedly recommend Aylesham Court.

Review from Julie F (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum is in the home following a hospital stay.
She is loving her stay and says that the home is a haven. She enjoys the food, feels that nothing is too much trouble and describes a sense of belonging.
The team care about the residents and I think that this comes from the top, with the manager and her deputy listening and creating an ethos where the residents are treated like family members
Mum also thinks her room is fab......I had looked at other nursing homes and would have needed to bring in lots of things to make the room look nice. The rooms here are tastefully decorated and a pleasure to be in.
There is a buzz and vibrancy within the home, with activities to join in with, but no pressure to do so.

As both a daughter and a nurse, I wanted to give feedback and thank the team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aylesham Court!

There are not enough words to express how impressed we are. Outstanding in every way. Quote from my father who has always made me promise never to put him into a home. "I am very happy to stay here". He was feeling safe and at home after less than 24 hours.

Review from S S (Respite Resident) published on 25 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I arrived at Aylesham Court after 12 days in hospital, feeling poorly, shattered and weepy. On being shown my room up in the treetops, I did shed a few tears. The staff were so kind and a cup of tea, minute sandwiches and fruit was absolutely fabulous. Calmed me down for a first night's sleep. The first shower for over 2 weeks followed by a hair appointment the next morning made me feel as if I was back in the land of the living. I was left to my peace and quiet, delicious meals and my strength gradually revived. All the staff kind and gentle and treated me as a person.

I am truly thankful I came to Aylesham Court.
