Please note my options are coloured by a visit in August during lockdown and stem from that visit. Before that, we had not seen my aunt since last March. The reason for the low mark on 'treated with dignity' is while we were there, my aunt needed the toilet for number two - the care staff on duty took 15 minutes to respond, by which time it was all over her and her bedding. Rooms - low/poor as she has been moved twice to a smaller room with no view, from a room with a view. Value for money - we think the fees are very high for the care given. Our aunt eats very little and her needs are simple. She just wants to stay in bed and go and meet her maker. Sad but true.
Take care and stay safe.

I have been given first-class treatment and care by all levels of staff. I have gratitude and many reasons for praising their marvellous dedication. I have yet to experience the activities and the facilities. I have no knowledge of the security.

Since the middle/late October the staff have facilitated Covid safe visiting via half-hour "window visits" which my mother has enjoyed. Staff have encouraged my mother to participate in communal activities. She has also taken to knitting which she can do "solo" in her room.
The staff have also facilitated FaceTime sessions for my mother with family members who are not local, which has been a great success and has helped with settling my mother.
From what I have been able to observe from window visits cleanliness is very good. New flooring has recently been installed in main areas of the home with plans to extend into bedrooms as and when able. Rooms are kept warm.
Staff respond in a timely fashion to queries/issues raised and liaise with relevant family members.
I think Eden Court is a wonderful place to be, to help me get back on my feet. Very friendly and overall and excellent service.

My wife was in the Eden Court rehabilitation section of Wheatfield Court. This Akari/NHS facility proved perfect for the recovery from major, open heart surgery at the hospital. The staff were so cheerful and friendly. The food was absolutely excellent and essential to build up strength. I feel we were so lucky to have access to a facility that combined the best in personal care, food and activities, with medical and physio provided by the NHS.

My husband was admitted to Wheatfield Court at the end of September. He was there for 6 days before being admitted into hospital where he remained for a week. He then returned to Wheatfield Court for end of life care and died 2 days later on October 4th. The care he had was amazing even though it was not for long - the family were also cared for by all staff, we felt as though they were our friends. I cannot praise them enough - all so well run too.
Staff very helpful and the food is good. Comfortable room.

As an ex-nurse, I found this very difficult, however, the staff at Wheatfield Court have been really helpful understanding when I got upset and they treat mum very well.
I know she is safe and well cared for which is very reassuring.
I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of care and the food in Eden Court. It combines excellent NHS rehab (after major surgery) with excellent Akari personel care. The staff all have a very cheerful disposition, which is a real help.

The care and attention my mother received was excellent right up until her passing away. The care home is kept immaculate. All the staff are very friendly. Myself and family were always welcome and made to feel that way.

The care taken of my mother in law was exemplary. The compassion was shown to me (telephone) and her granddaughter (in a quiet place) was superb. Only sorry her stay would not be longer!

This Nursing Home is amazing, the care of staff towards the residents is completely outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. Friendly and welcoming reception. Clean, light and airy. Very clean and always smells fresh. The staff receive very good training and the Manager has an open door policy for staff and relatives. There is always activities going on either within the Home or trips out to local venues of interest to the Residents. Would highly recommend anyone to view this Home if requiring a Home for their loved one.
All staff are very helpful and welcoming, nothing is a bother. My mother in law has been a resident approx 18 months and loves the interaction and trips out.

I believe that becoming a Veteran Friendly Care Home will bring significant benefits to our residents, their families, our Colleagues, and Akari Care as a whole. By recognising and celebrating veterans' experiences, we can provide more personalised care, strengthen relationships, enhance staff awareness, and create a culture that honours service while improving the wellbeing and quality of life of those who have served.
