My wife has been a resident since December 2025. She is very active & walks a lot, she also likes to help other residents who are less mobile, this is not good most times. But the staff deal with it most well. I hope the level of care now, continues under new management.

From day one when we made her room feel like 'home from home' she has been so content and has integrated so well with everything.
My sister and I had the guilt trip of moving our mum into a home. But we should not have worried as she has had a new lease of life and most importantly has had a new lease of life and most importantly her quality of life has improved tenfold and she is safe. The staff treat her so well and Pychley Court is without doubt one big happy family. I cannot thank everyone at the care home enough long may this loving care home continue.

My mum has been a resident of Pytchley Court Care Home for nearly 2 years. My first impression of PCCH was "excellent" and standards have not dropped. We are kept abreast of Mum's health and well-being by phone or when we visit. Likewise emails provide reports of her account (hair and chripody) as well as "what's going on". The home is clean and tidy. Every member of staff is cheerful, friendly, helpful and professional. We are made welcome on every visit. I would thoroughly recommend PCCH.
Excellent care home. Staff love the patients.

We had such a job to get her into care because she did not have much money. I asked if they could get her into Pytchley Court (the council). She went in March and carers from Pytchley came to collect her. The carers were so kind and sat with mam who had not been out of bed in 2 years. I went to sort out mams new room, came through and she was drinking a cup of tea from a cup after being fed like a child at home. This has given my mam a life again. I will never forget what Pytchley have done for my mam.

My mum has dementia and has been a resident at Pytchley Court for the last year. I am extremely happy with the care that she has received. The staff are caring and attentive and Mum is treated with dignity and respect. The home is always clean and Mum enjoys the food very much. There are lots of activities and outings each week which help to keep Mum stimulated and engaged, and the garden is lovely. It is a huge relief for me to know that Mum is being cared for so well.
The staff are very caring and take a lot of pride in supporting residents. Thank you.

My mother moved to Pytchley Court in October 2023. The care she receives is exemplary! All staff treat all residnets with respect and dignity. My mother is always clean and well-groomed, as is her room. She often goes on outings in the minibus which she greatly enjoys. The foods and snacks are excellent - indeed, my mother, who was very thin, has put on lots of weight! The manager and her team are always available and approachable. Overall, as a family, we are delighted with our mother's care!

It was our first visit since my mum moved in in January 2026. We were delighted to see how well she was doing and how quickly she she has integrated. The staff are all so attentive and caring. The atmosphere was very relaxed, warm, friendly and extremely familiar. Above all, the staff were so present and aware of how everyone was doing. Each time we visited, someone was sitting chatting to mum when we arrived which kept her in such good spitits. She has gained weight since moving in and is so much happier and less lonely.

Really impressed with how kind and caring the staff were. My mother in law was treated with respect and warmth and encouraged to be independant at all times (She has dementia). We were updated on her well being and I really had the impression she is doing so much better at Pytchley and is happier than she has been in a long time as she has constant companionship and excellent activities to keep her busy and occupied.
It is very good, very pleasant to visit and very polite I give it 5 stars for everything. I am disabled and they were very helpful.

My dad was at the home for just over three years and in that time I could not fault the care he received or the help and courtesy myself and my family received. I would have no problem recommending the home and team to other potential residents.

The team at Pytchley Court helped us enormously through a very difficult time. Their care was exemplary, as was their communication and co-operation with the hospital, doctors and family. Listening carefully to my mother's and family's wishes, they enabled her to pass in peace and with dignity in an environment she had chosen.

I * difficult to give thorough review as my friend only (sadly) lived here 24 hours until her death but we were very impressed at our perception of food + activities offered. As for value for money, difficult as no experience of comparison (2* prefer bigger but adequate) however! in terms of every member of staff- exceeded our expectations. Professional, compassionate, caring, friendly, nothing was made to feel too much trouble. My friend was so looking forward to living at Pytchley, she was 103 and excited to be cared for! I honestly cannot think of a single thing or word which could have been any better, exceptional staff! Led by incredible members of staff.
My mum has been a resident for nearly 4 years. She is very well cared for. The staff go above and beyond for my mum. She has had a few hospital stays and returns to the home in a poorly state.

My father has been in Pytchley Court for 2 years and his care continues to be well above average. My father has always struggled with his diabetes and the staff have worked tirelessly to encourage him to have better self care. We finally had a breakthrough in February where he agreed with the staff that he needed to lower his sugar intake, subsequently, his blood sugars have dramatically dropped and he has now had his medication lowered. This would not have been possible without the persistent care of the staff around him. Well done team, fantastic achievement.
The accommodation is first class and the food is excellent. Our rooms, fully furnished. Staff are friendly and helpful, facilities are clean and well kept.
