Appleby Court Nursing Home

I have spent the last four weeks in Appleby Court Care Home following surgery for a badly broken leg. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go home so the discharge team at the Hospital placed me in Appleby Court for 'step down care', and rehabilitation. Like most people, I thought that care homes were for 'old people'. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome and cared for, it was 'home away from home'. The team consists of nurses, health care assistants, domestic staff, laundry staff, kitchen staff, an administration team and caretakers. No matter their role, everyone is welcoming and friendly and can always find a minute to chat. They treat you like a member of their own family; giving you respect, preserving your dignity and most importantly, providing the best care. Appleby Court also have a local GP and team of physiotherapists available to all, Monday-Friday. If you're looking for a Care Home, look no further than Appleby Court. Nothing is too much trouble.

My Mum stayed for 16 days in Appleby Court for Intermediate Care following an accident. The staff were wonderful, very kind and caring and she received excellent care. Room very clean and well equipped - she had physio, saw a doctor if necessary and the nurses were excellent. I would recommend Appleby Court for anyone needing care.

My dad has recently sadly passed away and I find I'm not only missing him, I am missing all the staff at Appleby Court. They not only care for your loved ones, they become your friends. Highly, highly recommend.

My mother was moved in temporarily but stayed for 3 months. It really was home from home. Small-scale personal care. Excellent awareness of changes to medical needs, and always kept family informed even though we do not live near and they made a real effort to engage with the family as well as my Mum. I would like anyone to know that they can rest at ease if their relative is placed here.

My Mother moved to Appleby Court Nursing Home after having a severe stroke, as she required 24-hour nursing care. Appleby Court provided the Continuing Health Care my Mother required. My family chose this home because of the location initially, but also after viewing the property before making our final decision. We were allowed to change the décor, bring in personal belongings and anything to make the room feel more like home. The room contained all the equipment required to make Mum comfortable. In addition, it was clean, bright and comfortable. We were allowed to visit anytime, which enabled us to spread our visiting times out so that Mum had plenty of company. There is ample parking. The staff are very friendly and professional. Although Mum was only there for 10 days before she returned to the hospital, where she passed away, we were very happy with the care provided. Mum was unable to use the other facilities because of her condition. We would definitely recommend this nursing home.

My Aunt has been a resident in this home for nearly two years. The first year was a mixture of respite and full time residential. When she was on the residential she had never been in a home before and at first refused to go into the sitting room with the other residents. The staff encourage this and within a few weeks she was settled and enjoying life as a resident. This was down to the interaction of the staff with the residents. After a couple of spells in hospital and a stroke last year they took her back full time on the nursing side as she also had Parkinsons and Dementia. I cannot fault the care she has had since her stroke. She can have good days/bad days but the staff are excellent as they know all their residents individual needs. They are flexible on visiting and also allow pets to be taken in on visits. My family and I can categorically say that this home is up there with the best because of the care and dedication of the staff. We can go on holiday and not worry.
