My mother lived in Connaught Court until her death on 1st May 2025. During that time she was very well cared for.

A wonderful care home. The staff are outstanding. My mother moved in after being discharged from hospital. She was too poorly to return to her previous lovely care home as she needed nursing care. Sadly, she was only in Connaught Court for 3 weeks before she died. The kindness and compassion shown to Mum (and to us) made a difficult time easier to handle. I can't praise everyone enough. We're sorry her time there was so short, but it was such a comfort to know she was receiving the very best care and attention right up to the end. Thank you.

Mum-in-law joined during the difficult COVID period over four years ago and has spent time in different areas. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming, they spend time sitting, talking and doing activities with residents. Mum particularly enjoys music and sing-alongs. Her bedroom and bathroom are always well-kept and clean. Thanks to the team for all you do to care for the residents with respect and compassion. This has truly been evident this last couple of weeks whilst Mum has been poorly.

Mum (now 95) has been in Connaught Court since February 2022 and since then we've had nothing but fantastic service. The whole team are dedicated and thorough treating mum sensitively and with dignity - nothing seems to be too much trouble. Mum gets confused quite easily but the staff are always on...
As mum is very frail physically as well, she's had a few falls. Without fail, I always get a phone call from the care team and this is very reassuring. We visit regularly and have been told by the staff to treat Connaught Court as our own home - i.e. feel free to use the facilities if you're there. The lounge and conservatory are very pleasant indeed, the loos are always clean and we can always find somewhere nice to have a coffee and eat our sandwiches whenever we call.
Thank you for taking the time to write a very kind review for Connaught Court. Our staff work really hard to provide a warm and welcoming home and will definitely appreciate the positive feed back.

It has been so reassuring to see how caring, professional and joyful the staff are at Connaught Court. On the nursing wing, Mum was made to feel so welcome from day one, and their care extended seamlessly to family and friends visiting. Walking around the home and its grounds, you come across resident after resident being cared for respectfully, patiently - precisely in the way you might hope your loved one would be. I am very grateful to the management, the staff and even the other residents at Connaught Court for making mum feel so welcome here.

Connaught Court has been my auntie's home for nearly 7 years now, and I cannot praise the place highly enough. The rooms are excellent - large and all with ensuite facilities - and there are additional communal bathrooms with aids for people who need assistance getting in and out. The communal areas are beautiful and the whole place is immaculately clean. The gardens are outstanding. The food is excellent with plenty of different choices to cater to various tastes. The place, despite its relatively large size, feels very homely and not at all like an institution. This is thanks to the brilliant dedicated staff who give Connaught Court a real family feeling. I have worked in residential care homes myself in the past and Connaught Court stands head and shoulders over all of them. People understandably often fear moving into residential care but I can honestly say that I would quite happily move into Connaught Court when the time came and my elderly parents feel exactly the same.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review about Connaught Court. We are really happy that you feel part of the Connaught family. I will ensure I pass your feedback on to the staff who will undoubtedly be delighted with the positive feedback.
