Aylesham Court Care Home

Since my dear dad came here to live he has been looked after really well. Everyone here is so kind and nothing is too much for them to deal with on our behalf. Yes, they looked after me also. Wonderful. From walking through the door to leaving, everybody makes visiting a pleasant time and Dad and I can't thank all the lovely staff enough.

Thank you so much.

The understanding of my brother's very individual needs were exceptional. The kindness, care and compassion that was shown not only to my brother but also me will never be forgotten. The home is superbly run and this is reflected in all of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they all had a welcoming smile and offers of a cup of tea each time we visited. Staff knew my brother's last wish was to return to the hospice and when the time came they quietly and efficiently ensured his last wish came true. Bless them all.

My husband had Parkinson's for 3 and a half years, started to deteriorate with his Parkinson's and mobility. In October before he passed away they found cancer in his pelvis. He had treatment but couldn't continue as he was too poorly. He came to Aylesham Court Care Home and he was given outstanding care. All the staff treated him with respect and dignity. It has been a year since his death and I would just like to say a massive thank you to Aylesham Court Care Home for letting him die with dignity and all the love and care given to me during his stay at Aylesham Court Care Home.

My Dad was resident at Aylesham Court for approximately 3 months. During this time I was impressed with the care and attention he received from the moment he arrived. Staff could not have been more helpful and made the transition so much easier for him and me. The entertainment was a particular enjoyment for him and the bingo! He has now returned home and again the help received in organising his leaving was excellent.

My husband has been resident at Aylesham Court for nearly 3 years. The home is amazing. They have got to know him really well and cater for all his needs. The nursing staff spot problems before they develop into something serious. The care staff treat him with great dignity and provide excellent everyday care. The management team in the home have been incredibly supportive during a very difficult transition into full-time care for both of us. I cannot recommend them and the home enough.

I was in Aylesham Court as a short stay care resident after surgery and a hospital stay as I was unable to care for myself. I have spent 7 weeks here and have been well looked after, the staff are all friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Good end of life care. Good communication. From nurses and manager. Lovely ancillary staff. Fantastic family support. Lovely atmosphere and superior room.

This care home was outstanding in caring for my father and for the immediate family. Nothing was too much trouble and the care and dignity shown was unbelievable.

Throughout the whole period, the care and attention given to Mum was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Nurses and carers were continually popping into her room to ensure she was well, comfortable and as content as was possible. The final month of her life when she was really unwell, the attention to her and her needs was simply first class. We owe Aylesham Court a huge 'thank you'.

My mother has lived at Aylesham Court for just over three years and was not expected to live for very long, having been discharged there from a local hospice. Despite that, she is very much still alive and kicking, due very much to the excellent care she receives at Aylesham Court. I am really happy with the service and feel confident and assured that the staff always look after her as well as they possibly can. Her functioning has gradually reduced over time but she still has a good quality of life despite her limitations. She also engages in the many activities on offer when she is able to and has particularly enjoyed the trips out. The staff and managers are all very welcoming and friendly and my mother rates them highly as they generally respond very efficiently to her requests for assistance or medication. The home is modern and always clean and my mother's room and her en-suite are well kept. I cannot recommend this home highly enough to others that require this care.

I would recommend Aylsham Court Care Home to anyone wishing to have their relatives cared for.

I have no hesitation in recommending.

My husband came to Aylesham Court in June 2015. He has complex medical needs and has to be turned every two hours. I undertook a site visit before he came here, the first of what I thought would be many. The staff were warm and welcoming. It doesn't look like a care home. It's bright, airy and exceptionally clean. I cancelled them all as I'd hit the jackpot at the first home. I didn't need to look elsewhere. The whole team are amazing people and have not just looked after my husband but have supported me as well through what has been a tough few months. It's like having another family.

The home always smells like an hotel and feels warm and welcoming.
