Prince's Court

My dad arrived at Princes Court directly from the hospital in April. He has complex and nursing needs and it was difficult to find a suitable home for him. Thankfully I was able to find him a place here and since his admission, I have been thoroughly impressed by the staff throughout the home. All are friendly, and approachable and have made my dad feel so welcome, even when he is displaying aggressive behaviour. From the care home manager all the way to the staff on the ground you have been all magnificent. It hasn't been an easy time settling in but the staff have worked wonders and they really care about him. I feel so lucky relieved and happy that I know I can leave him in a place where he is truly cared for.

Thank you to all the staff, especially Albert Unit, for the care and support you show both to Nana and our family!

Our Mum was sent to Prince's Court directly from the hospital for end-of-life care. I wouldn't recommend anybody using this home for end-of-life care. They appear to lack the skills and staff to provide adequate end-of-life care our Mum frequently complained about being left on her own for hours without anybody popping in. Our Mum was fully competent and able to assess situations. As she was deteriorating she developed terminal agitation. I recognised this as I have a Care Manager background and have experienced it. Despite many requests for the staff to use the end-of-life medication prescribed the staff failed to do so. Our Mum suffered unnecessarily and as a result, we have PTSD despite the fact I have sat through many deaths including my Dads. We had many excuses for not giving the medication including well she's not doing it to us we can only use it when she does it to us. The staff didn't carry out appropriate mouth care on the day our Mum passed there were only 2 mouth swabs used.

Our dad moved into Prince's Court in January this year after we moved him from another care home. It has been his happiest few months ever. He has been well and truly cared for, fed properly, cleaned and I would say loved as well, even though he has been difficult at times. We cannot fault anyone. This care home went above and beyond. Prince's Court thank you.

I was transferred here from an NHS hospital ward in the afternoon. When I arrived, the nurse on duty was there to welcome me and settle me into my lovely room. Tea was offered and enter a lovely hot meal. All the staff were friendly, courteous, cheerful and professional. The physios, OTs and doctors were very friendly, informative and helpful. I would recommend this rehab unit to anyone looking for a well-run, friendly, clean place. Management and admin staff were on the ball! Thank you!

I spent three wekks in Princes Court having respite care following a fall. Although the room was rather cramped, the staff were kind, caring and supportive.

I cannot praise this establishment enough for looking after my mum.

My husband has been a resident here for 18 months until his death 24/11/23. He has been well cared for, treated with warmth and respect as have I on every visit. The staff are so kind and considerate. I have had no need to worry over all his care.

Our dad was being discharged from hospital to a nursing home. My brother and I called in to visit the home to see what it was like. We were greeted and given a tour of the home by the Head Nurse who was welcoming and answered all our questions. The home was clean, organised, residents appeared happy and most of all, it smelled fresh. We spoke to a couple of residents as we passed and they had good things to say about the home. Our dad was discharged into the nursing side of the home where he remained for 3 weeks until his death. From the minute he went in, until he died, he received the best care available and nothing was a bother to any of the staff. His medical and general care needs were met and when a problem arose, the nurses were on to it straight away. Dad enjoyed his meals, and extra helpings were available if/when he requested them. There is a kitchen for family to make themselves and relatives cups of tea when they visit. We can't thank them enough for looking after Dad.

I have been very happy with how they have looked after her, it was very obvious how much she was cared for, not just a number in a room. Cannot speak more highly of her time there.

The most amazing, caring, thoughtful staff you could ever want to look after your loved one. They are professional, efficient and genuinely caring. No agency workers allow my mum to make good relationships with permanent staff, who also genuinely care about myself and my father. A clean, calm environment with a wide choice of food, entertainment, etc. Would recommend it to anybody!

My wife had to transfer from a previous care home that could not provide the nursing care my wife required due to her advancing state of Alzheimer's dementia. It is now a pleasure to see how well she looks and behaves after just a few weeks, this I believe is due to entirely to the understanding and involvement the staff have with the residents of the home.

So thank you once again.

Excellent care in a great environment.

There was some apprehension about my wife's move into the home, but any fears have been dispelled after only 2 and a half weeks. From the manager downwards we have been impressed with the genuine care given to residents, the room, cleanliness and general air of helpfulness that is so evident.

Great facilities for physio treatment. Wonderfully helpful and caring staff who have time for the residents. My mum made a speedy recovery because of the care she received at Prince's Court. Couldn't be happier with the care she received there.

The only negative is there is no communal room for residents to meet to chat and socialise with each other. Some patients I spoke to were very bored and lonely. The mental health of people, especially older people in hospital, is paramount. The rooms are equipped with a television but are very insular.

Without the love and care from the nursing staff, my husband would not be here today. We are so very proud of each and every one. Thank you, keep it up. Love you all.

The care I received during my stay at Prince's Court has been first-class - no problems at all. Everyone has been very kind and helpful during my stay at Prince's Court.

Always clean and tidy.
