Wheatsheaf Court Nursing Home

The home is always clean and tidy and constantly being updated.

I find Wheatsheaf Court staff very friendly and obliging which is a stark contrast to another home where my wife was formerly. So no complaints keep up this good work.

My mum has been in this nursing home for two years and previously she was in a care home for seven years. My mum can no longer do anything for herself except feed herself. She did occasionally, take part in the many activities in the care home but cant now. I am happy with the care that my mum receives at the Wheatsheaf. The staff and management are very helpful, friendly and caring. My mum is looked after very well and they really do care, not just look after her, feed and clean her. They hug her, chat with her and she feels included. She is content and happy and is always smiling. I feel happy to recommend the Wheatsheaf Home as I feel it is a happy, caring home for my mum, thanks.

I appreciate clothes are washed together so vests, underwear and shirts always appear grey in colour. Residents seem to be wearing other residents clothes despite name tags. Snacks could be varied.

The staff are very helpful and keep everyone in their care well looked after. I get any help I need or advice when I ask.

In the last two years, my 96-year-old mother has been a resident in two different care homes in Northamptonshire. In September 2019, she became a resident of Wheatsheaf Court after a spell in hospital. The building, a former coaching inn has been adapted for residential care and it's age shows in the layout of the accommodation. The bedrooms are all of an adequate size and the high ceilings in the large communal areas give the feeling of being light and airy. Staff levels are very good and whilst there is a mixture of experience and youth, all of the carers show a level of compassion and caring towards the residents. Residents are offered a good range of drinks and snacks throughout the day. The manager and qualified nurse are always available to answer any questions relating to the running of the home or medication prescriptions. Since arriving at Wheatsheaf Court my mother has settled into the routine of the home and all members of the family comment on how calm she is. Highly recommended.

I can only admire the management and staff in the Wheatsheaf. In difficult circumstances, they take everything in their stride. A big thank you.

It is a very happy and caring home and we are very glad we have made it a forever home for our Uncle.

The location of the Care Home is superb and is very clean. I get my shopping done at the same time as visiting the home, which allows me to visit more often. NOTE: No smell compared to some of the homes we visited. The care is fantastic and the home has lots going on. Staff are polite and very caring. Great food and choice. I am glad we chose this care home.
