Review from J H (Wife of Resident) published on 7 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The staff are extremely kind and friendly to both residents and visiting families and there is usually someone on duty as "lookouts" regarding possible falls and sanitary needs.
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.

Review from Michael C (Son of Resident) published on 9 December 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.
↩Reply from Michelle Caisley, Manager at Wheatsheaf Court Nursing Home
Thank you for your kind review, we aim to provide a very person-centred care that meets the needs of the individual. Your mother has settled into the home very well and is now part of a bigger family of which is the Wheatsheaf Nursing Care Home, where we as staff love her dearly.

Review from Rachel (Niece of Resident) published on 30 May 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We have found Everyone at the Wheatsheaf Court to be really friendly and caring, not only to our uncle but to all the family and friends that visit him in the care home too!
While our uncle has settled in over the last 7 months, everyone has encouraged him to maintain his independence and dignity, and they have been careful to let him get used to his new surroundings in his own time, and everyone has really taken the time to understand him and his individual needs, therefore making his time there very happy.
He is very well looked after, we can’t fault his care.

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

Review from Roy. D. S (Friend of Resident) published on 13 May 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.
